Salt Cellar 263 freshmen come from 28 states

JCCF, SC

I by Rich Boyd
J On Saturday evening, Septem-
|e< 26, a coffeehouse jo'nily run
m' the Student Council and the
inited Campus, Christian Fellow-
ihip wf s opened in the basement
|[ Mlson Chapel. Dubbed the
Salt Cellar for several reasons,
the coffeehouse attracted a crowd
of well over two hundred students
and faculty. The doors were
opened at 7 p.m., and coffee of
several different types was sold
— after a blown fuse was cor-
rected.
At 8:30 the program for the
evening began, consisting of a
presentation by Dr. Edwin R.
Hunter from our English Depart-
ment of excerpts from his book
of poems, This Mans Art. Dr.
Hunter was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Later in the evening, Mrs.
Barbie Bloy and Pete Park en-
tertained with a wide variety of
folk songs and music. They, too,
were enthusiastically received.
I Name explained
Some question has been raised
as to why the name, Salt Cellar,
was chosen and as to what the
purpose of the Salt Cellar is to
be. Several definitions have been
given to the term salt as it is
used in reference to the coffee-
house. Salt has always been a
basic substance for mankind. Be-
cause in this day education is a
basic necessity for life as we
know it, it is easy to see the
analogy between salt and educa-
on. The Salt Cellar is a place of
education.
For another angle, consider
the traditional statement that
Christians are the salt of the
earth — it is within the hope-^
of those sponsoring the Salt Cel-
lar that Christians will be among
those who frequent the place.
And for a third angle, consider
the idea that as an educational
endeavor, much discussion and
"/ading of ideas about the con-
troversial things of life will take
place. From this dialogue, it is
iioped that our campus-com-
munity will be sparked into
various types of action — thus
rendering the Sf^t Cellar a place
where salt can 'be rubbed in the
wounds and gore spots of our
'total community.
Purpose given
The purpose o£ the Salt Cellar,
keeping in mind what has just
been said, is to provide a place
where students and faculty alike
can become confronted with
many of the contemporary ideas
;i.iat are shaping our world. And
' "St we be tempted to overshadow
iuch that is meaningful, the
Salt Cellar is to provide a place
^ here the ideas and facts that
e e learned in class can be dis-
cussed, traded, and battered in
a way that w ill help us see better
the World in which we live, its
meanings for us, and its mean-
ings for our purposes. The term
diudogue has been used to de-
scribe this.
Football co-captains Clint Abbott and Bill Napier arc pictured above with
coach Howard Tomlinson. (See story, page 5)
This term specifically means
that two or more people meet
with their ideas about a subject.
Rather than engaging in a fight
to see whose idea is the best, they
engage in trading what they
know about the certain subject
in order that knowledge of the
subject might be made more
thorough or deeper. This is a
hard thing to do. It involves a
giving of oneself to the discus-
sion rather than standing on the
defensive ground and fighting to
be right. It means standing ac-
tually in the other man's position
to see really what he is saying.
Schedule planned
There is still much to do in the
area of fixing up the Salt Cellar.
The buying of furniture, the ar-
ranging of lighting, the provid-
ing of good, readable literature
for the reading alcove, the pur-
chasing of coffee urns, and the
process of interior decoration all
will be carried on during the
next month or so. The UCCF
has already scheduled its pro-
grams from now until the Christ-
mas holidays," and the Student
Council will be publishing their
schedule in the near future.
Some of the coming programs
are to be a discussion of "What
It Means to be 100% American,"
by Dr. E. E. Overton of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee Law School
on October 2; a movie, The Cap-
tive, on October 3; a discussion
of the crisis in Viet Nam by Mr.
Ainsv/orth and Mr. Iredell on
October 9; a discussion on "The
Communist Conspiracy," arrang-
ed by Mrs. Lea Callaway, on Oc-
tober 16; and a one act play,
"Dabne," on October 17.
Times fixed
Beginning with the week of
October 5, it is planned that the
Salt Cellar will be open Monday
through Saturday in the even-
ings. All programs will be thor-
oughly publicized. It is the desire
of the UCCF and the Student
Council that these programs will
be food for thought and will sup-
plement the discussions that will
already be taking place. This, of
course, is in the hands of those
who make use of the Salt Cellar.
Tlie times for the Salt Cellar,
Monday through Friday are 7
p.m. to 10 p.m. On Saturday
nights the time will be from 1
p.m. to 11 :30 p.m.
Mike Moyers joins
national committee
Maryville College Student Body
President Mike Moyers has join-
ed the Student Body Presidents
National Advisory Committee of
Young Citizens for Johnson-
Humphrey. Moyers was invited,
along with other student body
presidents across the country, by
U. S. Senator Birch E. Bayh,
chairman of the committee.
Members of the committee will
act as advisors on student parti-
cipation in this election to the
national office and to the state
college coordinators of the com-
mittee. Where possible, members
will also make appearances at
their college Students for John-
son meetings and on local TV
and radio stations.
Young Citizens for Johnson-
Humphrey will provide student
body presidents with a non-
partisan kit including absentee
ballot and voter registration in-
formation.
'Echo' to be weekly
The Highland Echo, published
bi-weekly in recent years, is now
to be published weekly in an ef-
fort to cover more adequately
Maryville College activities. The
committee on Student publica-
tions, chaired by Dr. Carolyn
Blair, approved the plan last
spring.
The staff of the Echo consists
of Elenora Easterly, editor-in-
chief; Bill Erwin, business man-
ager; Betty Brown and Linda
Zacherle, assistants; Ken Hit-
chens, Paul Millin, Terry Amon,
associate business managers;
Carole Brownlee, news editor:
Barbara Bullard, feature editor;
Phil Jerome, sports editor;
Kathie Kirk, art editor; Martha
Cook, Carole Webster, Vicki
Green, copy editors. Advisors are
Dr. Carolyn Blair, Duncan Ben-
nett, and Frank Layman.
On Monday, October 5, the
Echo will begin its annual 'Don't
Write — Send the Echo* cam-
paign. Subscriptions will be on
sale all week at Pearsons Hall
before and after meals for those
who wish a weekly paper mailed
to parents or friends. The rale
is $3 per year or SI. 50 per
semester.
The enrollment of this year's freshman class has reached a total
of 263, of which 115 are men and 148 are women. Interestingly
enough, all hut two of the freshmen who were expected to register
arrived.
Members of the class come from a total of twenty-eight states
and two foreign countries. The religious denominations represented
include 178 Presbyterians, 33 Methodists, 22 Baptists, 7 Episcopalians.
In addition there are various other religious preferences.
Academic standing
43% of the freshman class
.ranked in the first quartile of the
high school graduating classes,
32% ranked in the second quar-
tile, and 18% in the third. The
remaining 7% were either un-
ranked or ranked in the fourth
quartile. This is the first year for
requiring students entering Mary-
ville College to take either the
SAT or ACT tests. 65% of all
this year's freshmen scored above
450 on both verbal and mathe-
matical ability on the SAT test
of the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board. The ACT test scores
were converted into the equi-
valent scores on the SAT scale.
Finances
Sixty-four freshmen are re-
ceiving scholarship or tuition
grants; forty-one are participat-
ing in the rotating loan fund:
and thirty are involved in the
college student work program.
Transfer students
In addition to the 263 fresh-
men, there were thirty-six trans-
fer students who enrolled at
Maryville for the first time this
fall. Thus, the total enrollment
of Maryville College, not includ-
ing special pre-college music
students, now stands at 793, of
which there are nine part-time
students.

Campaign success
provides funds for
new dorms 11,111
The success of the current de-
velopment fund campaign has
enlarged Maryville College's im-
mediate building program to in-
clude new dormitory facilities as
well as a new science building.
New dormitories
The new dormitories, design-
ed by Barber and McMurray of
Knoxville, will have a total capa-
city of 250. The architects are in
the first planning stages, and it
is hoped that both the men and
women's dormitories will be
ready by the fall of 1965.
Science building
In addition, the counseling
firm of Taylor, Liberfeld, and
Heldman, Inc., is now studying
the requirements for the new
science building and the science
program. They are reviewing the
current science program, present
facilities, and enrollment pro-
jections to guide in planning the
new building. Their study may
also lead to further specific
planning for the whole campus,
including the sites of new build-
ings and the best use of pYesent
facilities.
Development fund totals
The sudden surge for addition-
al development was made possible
by the recent gift of $500,000 by
Algie Sutton of Greenville, South
Carolina. In the current intensive
campaign for $920,000, a sum of
$630,854 has now been raised.
The overall $7,000,000 develop-
ment program to be completed /
by 1969 has received $3,250,000 (
from all sources.
Part of a recent publication,
"Understanding Our Faith," is a
work by Dr. Esther C. Swenson,
who has for several years been
associated with the Departments
of Sociology and Christian Edu-
cation at Maryville College.
Dr. Swenson's contribution to
this course, which is being pre-
pared by the Synod of Wisconsin
of the United Presbyterian
Church, is entitled "Understand-
ings of Christ and Culture." It
includes eight discussions of the
contemporary theologians Karl
Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Rein-
hold Neibuhr, and Paul Tillich.
A session on Western culture and
several sessions which tie the
writings of the theologians to our
culture are also included.

by Karen Keen
On September 22, Kathy Burgess, Fran Lantz, Pat Pingitore. Jane Sidun, Tex Harris, John Mul
lendore, Andy Ruhlin, and Mike Qiiickel were elected cheerleaders after a stiff competition with ten
other candidates. Kathy Burgess was re-elected captain of the squad for the third time in her four
years as cheerleader at Maryville.
elementary
Kathy, a senior
education major from Florida
has been cheerleadiug since she
was in the seventh grade — a
total of ten years. Among the im-
provements scheduled for this
year, Kathy mentioned new
orange and garnet shakers, the
inclusion of more acrobatics in
the cheers, and a newly painted
orange megaphone.
Fran Lantz, a sophomore from
Knoxville majoring in English, is
beginning her second year as a
cheerleader at Maryville. Her
biggest assets as a cheerleader are
her ability to make lots of noise
and her enjoyment of cheering.
"The squad is gonna be sharp
this year," she bubbled. "Pm tic-
kled pink that we got the new
shakers." As for the acrobatics,
"Love it!" For anyone who is
not familiar with Maryville's
cheers, Fran will be glad to de-
monstrate anv of them.
Another sophomore from Knox-
ville back for a second year on
the squad is Mike Quickel.
Though Mike had done no cheer-
leading before college, he has be-
come a real pro. Tex Harris, from
Amarillo, Texas, is the third
sophomore starting his second
year as a cheerleader.
John Mullendore, Texan from
Dallas, is a freshman who hasn't
picked a major yet. He went out
for cheerleader because he loves
all athletics but is too small to
play. In high school, he was cap-
tain of his squad the one year
that he was cheerleader. Andy
Ruhlin. a freshman psychology
major from Trenton, New Jersey,
went out for cheerleader because
it seemed a good way to become
part of the campus life and be-
cause it was "cool." He finds
acrobatics "challenging but fun."
From Florham Park, New Jer-
sey, Jane Sidun is a music educa-
tion major. She has never been a
cheerleader before because in
high school she was in the march-
ing band. Another New Jor^eyite,
Pat Pingitore. has had three
years of cheerleadiug experience
in high school where she was on
the orymnastics team. Pat plans to
major in biology but likes Eng-
lish, too.

The past few weeks have seen
our nation's political pattycake
gathering considerable momen-
tum, leaving a path of chaos and
destruction in the opposite ranks
far in excess of any mere hur-
ricane. The two presidential
hopefuls (or hatefuls as they are
called by many) are Likes Beer
Johnson and Goldy Backwater.
Both of these men are extremely
wealthy and having nothing else
to do, are racing for president as
a relief from the boredom of
making money.
The current campaign has pro-
duced some fascinating sidelights,
not the least of which is Strong
Thurman, the first of a long line
of politicians who would much
rather switch than fight. The im-
partial observer has been watch-
ing the altercations with much
interest and in hopes of produc-
ing better informed voters, is
writing a few of the more pro-
.found observations.
The Democratic asspirant
(sic), Johnson, can best be de-
scribed as a common man. His
pleasures are simple — the plea-
sures of any red-blooded Ameri-
can male (although many con-
tend that he's not as red as his
opponent). He has been seen
mur UtNV f'A-TEs J05rp(jCKlE f f

could be more indicative of the
American way of life — drinking
beer, the drink of the common
man; driving his Continental,
the car of the rich common man;
riding over his estate (though
many of the old guard natives
still refer to it as Texas).
Though Johnson has been
criticized by two strong lobbies,
the S.P.C.A.E. (Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals'
Ears) and the S.P.G.M.B.B.
(Society for the Prevention of

the lobbies of the manufacturers

Backwater is the man whose
immortal words at the close of
the Republican convention will
be quoted for many years to
come: "Veni, Vidi, Vici." He is
a man of moderate tastes and
behavior. It has been said in
Washington that he never drives
his chariot over 30. He firmly
believes in conservation of na-
tional resources and many other
things. Backwater replied in a
personal interview last week:
"Who says I can't be progres-
sive?" as he gave his daughter
a new low-slung sports surrey.
The observer must agree that this
indeed seems like a step forward
— for Backwater anyway.
The voter's decision this year
is a hard one. As usual the choice
boils down to a choice of per-
sonalities — Love those Byrds
Johnson or Push The Button
Backwater. Personal preference?
The observer isn't sure. It's
rumored that Bobby Baker is
available for write-in. He seems
to be able to manipulate the
government as well as anyone.
Rush Show Climaxes
Chi-Phi Events
The 1964 Kappa Phi-Chi Beta
rush show, "The Making of a
President," was presented on
Tuesday night, September 29, as
the climax to two days of ac-
tivity. Written by Phil Jerome
and Ken Young in true Pygma-
lion fashion, the play concerned
the rise of a janitor to the posi-
tion of a leading presidential
candidate. He survived the plots
of a group of secret enemy agents
and the crusade of two fighters
for women's rights, only to lose
the election to the beautiful sec-
retary of the party boss.
Events preceding the show in-
cluded a tea for Chi Betas and
their little sisters, held in New
Dorm on Monday afternoon; and
the campaign banquet for all
freshmen on Tuesday evening.
TTie rain which dampened the
plans for an outdoor rush show
has not affected the spirit with
which Chi Beta and Kappa Phi
will enter into this year's activi-
ties.
Continued dependence upon relief
induces a spiritual and moral dii-
integration fundamentally destruc-
tive to the national fibre. To dole
out relief in this way it to adminrstar
a narcotic, a subtle d'estroyer of fkt
human spirit.

4-The Highland Echo, October 3, 1964
Abbott and Napier Captain Scots in 1964
After compiling an excellent
record of eight victories and one
defeat and losing nine of the men
chiefly responsible for those suc-
cesses, it would seem that the for-
tunes of the Maryville College
football team were in for a bit
of a drop. When you add the loss
of the head coach to the loss of
the key players, the prospecU
would seem even darker. How-
ever, the 1964 edition of the
Highlander football team has the
potential to equal and surpass the
fine record of tlieir predecessors.
Perhaps the most valuable add-
ition to the team is the ascension
of former line coach Howard
Tomlinson to the position of head
coach. Tomlinson, an all-South-
ern Conference lineman at Wil-
liam and iMary in his collegiate
days, brings a fine reputation to
ttie job. Another change in the
coaching staff is the addition of
the captain of the 1963 football
team, Wilbur Ramsey, to coach
the ends. Lauren Kardatzke re-
mains as backfield coach.
Interior Line Strong
The primary factor in Mary-
ville's hopes for a better record
is the interior line. From tackle
to tackle, the Scots have both size
and speed. Only at center does
the line lack experience.
Spearheading the linemen will
be co-captains Bill Napier and
Clint Abbott. Abbott (6'2", 195)
holds down the guard position.
He is the fastest and toughest of
the linemen. His aggressive spirit
is a major factor in the past suc-
cess of the Maryville line. The
other guard position will be
shared by two sophomores —
Charles Berry (6', 200) and
Frank Eggers (5'11", 195). Both
have the size and the speed to
develop into outstanding linemen.
John Forgety, Steve Worrell, and
Carl Gehman provide Coach
Tomlinson with exceptional depth
at guard.
Tackle is another strong posi-
tion in the Scots' line-up. Co-
captain Bill Napier (6'2", 215)
heads the position. Napier is an
exceptional defensive player. Al-
though he is slow, he compen-
sates for this weakness with ex-
ceptional physical strength and
good reactions. Backing up
Napier will be Gary Dutton
(6'2", 225). For a big man, Dut-
ton has exceptional agility. Jim
Pryor (6'4", 230), the largest
man on the team, is the other
first-string tackle. In addition to
his size, he has the speed to be-
come a deadly down field blocker.
Wayne South (6', 190) plays be-
hind Pryor.
The weakest link in the Scots'
forward wall is found at center
where the graduation of Charlie
Thomas left a large gap. Tomlin-
son is working three men at the
position: Don Story (6'1", 185),
Shan Harris (5'10", 185), and
Ken Christy (5'11", 185). At
present. Story holds the edge.
Ends Lack Depth
The position that was hit hard,
est numerically by graduation
was end. Only starter Mike Dal-
ton and lettermen Sonny Webb
and George Derbyshire return
from the 1963 squad. Dalton is
a fine receiver whose effective-
ness will be enhanced by Tomlin-
son's new offense. He is excep-
tionaly fast and a dangerous run-
ner after catching the ball. Sonny
Webb is the other end, but he is
being hard pressed by George
Derbyshire and Jack Smoot.
Offensive System Changed
If Tomlinson is proud of his
interior line, he is equally proud
of his fine array of quarterbacks.
Benny Monroe who excels both
as a passer and runner has all
tlie attributes of a great quarter-
back. Maryville is blessed with
another excellent quarterback in
H. H. Linginfelter. Linginfelter
Howard Tomlinson faces his first year as Scots* mentor.
excels as a field general. He is a
smart tactician and has great
abiHty in capitalizing on the
weaknesses of his opponents. Her-
man Ramsey and Jack Mullins
back up Monroe and Lingin-
felter.
The backfield is also strong at
running back where Roland Mc-
Clanahan handles the offensive
assignments. Although small, Mc-
Clanahan has excellent speed. He
furnishes the Scots' , attack with
a breakaway threat every time he
carries the ball. He is counted on
to he the top scorer. Kip Martin
and freshman Danny Rogers back
up McClanahan.
The biggest of the Scots'
graduation losses was at fullback
which was left vacant by Little
All-American Ken Berry. To re-
place Berry, Tomlinson is count-
ing on Keith Bailey. Bailey is a
powerful runner, built wide and
close to the ground much in the
same manner as Berry. It is
hoped that Bailey can provide
the same punch from fullback
that the Highlanders enjoyed last
year. If Bailey is unable to
handle the load, senior letterman
Jeff Slagle is ready to step in.
Behind Slagle are Ray Eaton and
Billy Sunday.
One of the major changes that
Coach Tomlinson has brought to
the offense is the addition of a
.slot hack. Split wide of the line,
the slot back will serve as a block-
er, a decoy, and a pass receiver.
Tomlinson has nominated Archie
Anderson to handle the job. An-
derson will be hard pressed, how-
ever, by Mike White. White was
the team's number one receiver
last season. In addition, White
is a fine defensive back and will
see duty as the starting safety
on defense. Hal Shultz, a speed
merchant, rounds out the list of
slot backs.
Tomlinson Warns Against
Over-Confidence
The prospects of the team are
good. However, Coach Tomlinson
is quick to point out two factors
that could have strong bearing
on the team's record. The first of
these is the large number of in-
experienced men at key positions,
especially on defense. In close
games, the amount of experience
will play an important part in
determining the outcome.
A second factor is Maryville's
past success on the gridiron. As
the Scots' reputation as a foot-
ball power grows, so does the
incentive of their opponents to
defeat the high flying Maryville
squad. For this reason, Tomlin-
son expects to find the majority
of his 1964 opponents keyed on
upsetting his forces.

Benny Monroe Ufins
A.A. Stigg Award
The winrier of the first Amos
Alonzo Stagg Award in the 1964
season is Benny Monroe. Monroe,
a 6', 185 pound senior quarter-
back, was chosen for his fine
play against Centre College. He
played a major role in each of
Maryville's 21 points and ac-
counted for nine points person-
ally; sneaking one yard for d
touchdown, kicking an extra
point, and carrying on a two
point conversion. In addition,
Monroe passed for two touch-
downs. Both of the TD tosses
were caught by Mike Dalton. One
play traveled 33 yards and the
other 18 yards. Monroe also had
a 40 yard touchdown pass nulli-
fied by a penalty. In all, Monroe
completed 7 passes in 10 at-
tempts.
Mike Dalton, a junior end, was
a close second in the ballotting
for the Award. Dalton snared 5
passes for 96 yards and two
touchdowns.
The Amos Alonzo Stagg Award
was initiated at Maryville and
across the nation last year. It is
an award given to the person
who is judged to have made the
biggest contribution to the per-
formance of his team in that
week's game.
I wish to preach, no! the doctrine
of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of
the strenuous life.

An Introduction to Soccer
One of the oddities in the athletic picture of a nation as sports-
minded as America is, is the relative obscurity of the game of soccer.
As baseball is the national pastime, of the United States,, soccer is
the national pastime of the world. The world series of soccer is much
mofe deserving of the title than the world series of baseball is. One
of the most interesting aspects of the game is the great fervor
it arouses in its fans. Riots are frequent. A South American stadium
has erected a barbed wire fence and sunk a moat around its field.
Spectators are quite seriously urged not to bring fire arms to the
games.
All this goes as way of introduction to the announcement that
Maryville College has a soccer team. Because viewing a soccer game
will be a new experience to many Maryville College students, the
Highland Echo is going to run a series of three articles explaining
the fundamentals of the game. This first article will deal with the
positioning and functions of the eleven players on the field. The
second article will concern the basic rules of the^ game. Finally, the
personnel and prospects of the Maryville team will be discussed.
It is hoped that these articles will enlighten the novice soccer fan
to the principles of the game and thus make him an informed and
interested spectator at Maryville's soccer games.

to be held tonight
"You've seen the rest, now you
can see the best," as Theta Epsi-
Ion and Alpha Sigma present the
final event of Greek Week at
Maryville College tonight at eight
o'clock. Show director, Ralph
Tucker, has announced that Ap-
hrodite and Apollo are arriving
via Pegasus on time for the open-
ing scene. Other leading members
of the cast are Miss Martha
Cookos, Mr. Roland Prudhonou,
Panayotis Milanis, Mr. Demetrius
Allsman, and Mr. Bruce Bigar-
tion.
The Greek theme will remain
through the fall as the Sig Olym-
pic football teams work to keep
the football trophy and Stinkin'
Shoe m the society. The Sledge-
hammers, Sig's first team, has a
large returning nucleus and pro-
mising freshmen prospects.
With the typical high spirits of
the Greeks, the Sigs and Thetas
will go by buses to cheer our
football team on to victory at
the Mars Hill and Carson-New-
man games. Other plans for the
near future include an off-cam-
pus picnic and redecoration of
the Sig House.

Cont from Page 5, Col. 5
The eleventh man on the soccer
team and the final line of de-
fense is the goalie. He is the only
player who may legally touch the
ball with his hands. He must have
fast reflexes and the fearlessness
to jump into the middle of a pile
of kicking feet. He must be will-
ing to risk anything to prevent
the ball from going into the net.
This by no means covers the
various duties of every position.
However, it provides a rough
idea of the different functions
that are required of the different
positions. Next w^eek, the basin
rules and some of the terminol-
ogy will be discussed.
We must remember not to judge
any public servant by any one act,
and especially should we beware of
attacking the men who are merely
the occasions and not the causes of
disaster.

Vol. 50
Maryville College, .Maryville, Tennessee, October 10, 1964
by
Mike Moyert
President Copeland leads Convocation
Looldng Backward
A very elementary observation
has been heard from not a few
four and five year veterans.
"Maryville just isn't the place it
was four years ago."
And it isn't. Alterations in
college policy, accumulated in-
dividually in the past three years,
form in this fourth year of our
new president a "new" Maryville.
And for those of us who were
so discouraged then, this new
Maryville can only be pleasant.
Tuesday's chapel is now no
more grueling than the rest. Sun-
days are no longer patterned
after Puritan blue laws. Twelve
o'clock permission, car permis-
sion, and off-campus housing
make Maryville seem almost like
home. It is only when that rare
drinker is captured and convicted
that we students get a glimpse
of the old Maryville.
We students, in evaluating
these past three years, are re-
minded of the southern gover-
nor's advice to that militant
young Negro: "We told that boy
to just be patient." Sound ad-
vice, and difficult. But the dif-
ficulty of patience is overcome
by the necessity of it. And reali-
zing this need, we students enter
this fourth year of our new presi-
dent, planning to be just as pati-
ent in these next tliree years as
we have in the past three.
We will be patient in waiting
for that same ole limited car pro-
gram for campus seniors, for an
easing of Maryville's chapel re-
quirements, for changes in the
realm of academics which will
allow a student greater opportun-
ity for variety and independence,
and for progress in other areas.
Job should have been so patient.
"We told that boy . . ."
Men's Glee Club,
Women's Choir
initiate new members
Friday, October 9, 1964, mark-
ed the official beginning of the
new year for Women's Choir and
Men's Glee Club. The day began
with informal initiation of the
new members. The same evening
all members met in the band
room of the Fine Arts Center for
a spaghetti supper and formal
initiation. Taking over for Mr.
Dan Kinsinger, who is on leave
this year, is the new director, Mr.
Lou Mize.
The Women's Choir will open
the season at Vespers, October
18, with the mixed group pre-
senting its annual Fall Serenade
on November 21.
Members of togi
committees named
Dr. Copeland and Mike Moy-
ers have announced the follow-
ing members of the Disciplinary
Board for 1964-1965: Dr. Grif-
filts, chairman; Mr. Ainsworth;
Dr. Blair; Mrs. C. Davis; Mr.
Horst; B. Pettigrew; and K.
Young.
Of particular interest to all are
the members of Student-Faculty
Senate, as emphasis will be
placed this year on solving prob-
lems together in this body: Dr.
Copeland, Dean Bushing, Dr.
Campbell, Mrs. Cummings, Dr.
McClelland, Dean Massey, Miss
Miles, Dr. Shields, Dr. Waters,
M. Moyers, M. Cook, H. Cones,
J. Hinderer, F. Jablonski, W.
Mitchell, J. Stewart, T. Barks-
dale, and J. Mulholland. Dr.
Copeland and Mike Moyers will
alternate in presiding over Sen-
ate meetings.
Also of interest are the twenty-
five members of the Executive
Council of the Faculty: Dr. Cope-
land, chairman; Dean McClel-
land, vice-chairman; Dr. Blair,
secretary; Coach Baird; Mr. Bra-
hams; Dean Bushing; Dr. Camp-

Playhouse season
opens with "J.B."
October 23, 8 p.m.
Opening the 1964-65 season
with serious drama, Maryville
College Playhouse will present
Archibald MacLeish's Pulitzer
Prize play, "J. B." The searching
and suffering of a modem Job,
caught up in the eternal struggle
between God and Satan, will be
brought before the audience.
"J. B." is under the direction
of Thomas E. Jones, assisted by
Margaret Moffett. Top billing go-
es to David Evans (J. B.), Mary
Gay Boettcher (Sarah, his wife),
David King (Mr. Zuss — God),
and Dale Schellenger (Nickles —
Satan). Others in the cast are
John Boretsky, John Kerr, Lor-
raine Briggs, Ginger Proffitt,
Sarah Tompkins, Becky Smith,
Virginia Wells, Cecelia Bridges,
Kathy Lutz, Pete Parks, Bob
Schultz, and Doug Gamble.
The story will be enacted Fri-
day and Saturday, October 23
and 24, with curtain time each
evening at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are
now on sale at the Theatre Office
in the Chapel.
The Annual Convocation at Maryville College was held on Tues-
day, October 6, at 8 a.m. in the chapel. President Copeland*8 address,
using Acts 2:1-4, 12-18 as the text, was **A Vision Beyond Our
Mirror Image." The Vesper Choir sang "0 All Ye Land, A Joyful
Noise," by Dr. Harry H. Barter
After quoting Acts 2:17, Dr.
Copeland said, "Our America
will become a better nation when
we refuse to merely analyze, but
to see the present in the light of
the future, to see the future in
the light of the present. Put your
vision into active practice. Bless-
ings on you, but remember, it is
a dangerous life. Anyone in any
profession who dares to see . . .
what God intends, which does not
now exist, is living in a danger-
ous world. Jesus Christ was cru-
cified for no more than having
a vision and attempting to do
something about it."
The Convocation is a tradition
at Maryville that began shortly
after World War II when Dr.
Ralph W. Lloyd was president of
the college. Taking place after
students and faculty have set-
tled somewhat into a daily rou-
tine, it is the first official calling
together of the college com-
munity. The address, usually
given by the president, is a chal-
lenge to all to reaffirm goals and
ideals in an effort to set tiie pace
for the year in the best direction.
Parade to be held today
A Mats Migration Downtown Pop
Rally will leave from the Chapel
todlay at 1 :30. Led by the High-
lander Marching Band and Cheer-
leaders, the student body wiH
snakedance through downtown
Maryville to the chopping center
area.
Special
Drummers shown left to right are Drum Captain Rou Kerr, John Campbell,
Drum Major Harold Laster, Barry Holden.
'64-'65 Marching Band has new look
The Highlander Marching Band under the direction of Mr.
John Roberts will again be presenting colorful entertainment this
year with a record number of seventy-seven members.
Drum section improved
The band, in traditional Scotch uniforms, has added a new
touch of authenticity in the drum section. Along with the women
in kilts and men in Scotch guard uniforms, the bass drummer will
be wearing the traditional white coat and shako plus an overdrape
of leopard skin. Four chrome-plated snare drums and white drag
ropes have been added also. The percussion corps is also genuinely
Scotch, wearing kilts and tarns or balmorrow. In charge of this
group as drum captain is Ross Kerr.
Football shows planned
The half-time shows will prove to be both timely and colorful
with such themes as Swinging on Parade, Hootenanny, and, in keep-
ing with elections, Spooks and Politics. In this last show the Scots
will rival Democrats and Republicans with the formation of their
own political party.
Sponsor and ma^rettes chosen
The band has selected Nancy Buckwalter, a senior elementary
education major from Wichita Falls, Texas, as band sponsor. Majoret-
tes chosen by head majorette Carolyn Foust are Judy Foust, Saran
Singleton, and Patti Presnell. Taking the place of the former mascot,
Wee Bit, is Little Bit of Black Goblin who will be marching with the
band.
Looking backward
by David Powell
The following quotations were
taken from the 40th anniversary
issue of Saturday Review, Au-
gust 29, 1964.
"What books published during
the last four decades most signi-
ficantly altered the direction of
our society? Which may have a
substantial impact on public
thought and action in the years
ahead? Twenty-seven historians,
economists, , political analysts,
educators, social scientists and
philosophers pondered these
questions . . . and between them
came up with 163 titles . . ."
Of these books, the twelve re-
ceiving the most votes were
1. The General Theory of Em-
ployment, Interest and
Money
— John Maynard Keynes
2. An American Dilemma
— Gunnar Myrdal
3. Mein Kampj
—Adolf Hider
4. Cybernetics
— Norbert Wiener
5. The Lonely Crowd
— David Riesman
6. Sexual Behavior in the Hu-
man Male; Sexual Behavior
in the Human Female
— Alfred Kinsey
7. Grapes of Wrath
— John Steinbeck
8. Common Sense Book of
Baby and Child Care
— Benjamin Spock
9. The Affluent Society
— John Galbraith
10. Modern Corporations and
Private Property
— Adolph A. Berle
11. The Nature and Destiny of
Man — Reinhold Niebuhr
12. Silent Spring

Phi looks forward
to solid seisoi
by Joe Thomas
Now that the excitement of
Rush Week has died down, Kap-
pa Phi eases hack into a dull
routine of earth-shattering ex-
citement. The men of Phi are
well prepared for the Fall Semes-
ter, with many additions to past
accomplishments.
•The newest addition to the list
of Phi firsts is the publication
of a society weekly newsletter,
The Pulse, edited by Will Mit-
chell. This project is designed to
keep all active Phi's informed of
the development of the program
and calendar.
The two intramural football
teams are ready and anxious to
give that other society some hot
competition for the Stinkin' Shoe.
Ready for the fall season, the
Phi House boasts a new "gym-
floor" finish and a new coat of
paint on the inside. The cabinets
have been prepared and (best of
all) theT.V. is fixed.
From here it looks like a solid
season for the solid society, Kap-

DIAL 1400
by Dave Powoll
"They spoke of your return," said the boy. "I wanted to hear
of your journey, but they said I am unworthy even to pronounce
your name. Forgive me. Old One, I will go now. To see you is
enough," and he turned to the door.
"Innocent and foolish was I to desire the world," said the Old
Man. "To know that the wind had been everywhere and back again,
was maddening. I could not let the wind know all the secret places
for itself."
The boy stopped at the door.
"In the precipitation of youth I defied the wind and walked
into it, following the sun in its toil.
"From the first my steps were painful, but I could not sense
pain — only the exhilaration of freedom. Long I walked, but always
when I stopped to rest — the sun moved on and I was left behind.
"And the first year of the journey that seemed to pass so
quickly gave birth to a second year and a third and a fourth. The
years themselves gave birth to long months, and the months brought
forth lingering weeks, and the weeks perpetual days. In time, years
and days were indistinguisable. Reality was not time, it was pain
and hunger and thirst And boredom.
"So endless were the mornings that the evenings were no longer
welcome relief. Passion left me. I walked without haste and without
rest.
"The paths I followed grew narrow and were covered with
weeds. My feet stumbled. My eyes grew dim. My hearing failed. My
heart dried up within. me. At night while I sat staring into darkness
the wind laughed in the trees.
"I had seen everything.
"I had found nothing.
"Who can say at what point my breath came easier; at what
place the ground beneath my feel became a cushion and the sound
of my steps the hush of silken slippers in soft white sand?
"But lo the breezes brought the scent of ripeness and abundance
— cherry groves and clover fields. People that I passed wore smiles.
Houses grew like wild flowers by the roadside — pink and yellow
and blue.
"Water was sweet and cold in this strange, new land, bread was
baked from clouds.
"Gende gusts caressed my body, carrying away with them the
aches I had endured.
"The sound of warm rain in the trees was the music of slum-
ber.
"I slept in soft pine boughs.
"My dreams were green.
"Long I lingered in this land tucked away in the heart of God.
I wished for nothing. I watched brooks tumble down the mountains,
and in the morning light, half closing my eyes I could see a rainbow
of fairies dancing on the water to the airs of katydid flutes and
sparrow violins.
"From the mountain ridges I could taste the ginger- of unbound
flight — as though I could soar with the strongest of eagles.
"I had found eternal joy.
"Across a field of poppies walking silendy and purposefully
came a young man dressed in white. He stopped before me, his
brown eyes gazing quiedy into my soul.
" 'In this land there is no death," he said. "You are very old.
You must leave.'
"Then he followed the path he had woven, back through the
blood-red poppies.
"How many years have passed since I left that field I do not
know. What distances I covered cannot be told. I am all that re-
mains of a journey."
The Old Man paused. The boy was sitting at his feet. There
was a lifetime of silence.
"Boy," whispered the Old Man, "I wish ;0u could have been
there.*'
"I will go," said the boy "I will leave today and travel the
difficult paths in search for the land you have seen," and he rose
from the floor.
"Boy, you cannot find that place. Understand that I am an
old man. All that I have told you was a dream. In truth I have never
been beyond the walls of this room. Old Men and boys have seen
fantastic lands. Only the wind knows they do not exist."
"But you traveled in spite of the wind," said the boy as he
stood by the open door, "I will travel with it." The door closed and
the boy was gone.
In the empty room an old man sat in the dust, dry as the
bones of dead leaves. He was laughing quiedy to himself in short
gasps like cold drafts in a dark and vacant house.
The other afternoon I was
standing on the corner of Court
Street waiting for a ride. Un-
fortunately, it was raining quite
hard and I was getting soaked to
the skin. All of a sudden, a bea-
utiful female specimen appeared
at the door of that attractive litde
red brick house on the corner
and invited me in for a cup of
coffee. Well, of course I ac-
cepted, and let me tell you, I
wouldn't have traded that hour
for anything in the world.
When I got inside the house,
I found that there were seven
more lovelies who lived there,
also. Upon asking about this
place they all called home, I was
cordially invited to take a tour.
I found that the whole house has
a wonderfully homey atmosphere
throughout — something like
Grand Central Station. It is at*
tractively decorated with many
interesting pieces of furniture
purchased from the surrounding
area at surprisingly low prices.
By far the most unique piece of
furniture is the 1948, three-inch
wide screen TV from Moyers
Radio & TV, Inc., bought for a
tremendous bargain price of
SI 6.00 . . . or maybe it was only
$12.00.
In the course of my conversa-
tion with these illustrious girls,
I learned that a few interesting
things have happened in the
house since school has started,
and I would like to tell you about
them.
During visiting hours there
have been many noted campus
personalides dropping in to say
hello. Among them were Mike,
Norm, the football team (and all
at once, too!), Jerry, Milano,
Bigarti, Crash and his main-
tenance men, Roger, Fuller
Brush, Red Beard, and every
other Tom, Dick, and Harry . . .
or was it Henry?
Our conversation was inter-
rupted by two more members of
this happy household, named Op-
helia and Lucy. They came
bounding into the room, jumped
onto my lap, and, of all things,
started nibbling at my ear! This
was fine with me — that is, until
I detected a slighdy noticeable
odor, which must have been Puss
'n Boots.
If you ever happen to be walk-
ing by the house and see some-
one digging gravel out back in
the dark, or someone stealing
up to the back porch with a
funeral wreath, think nothing of
it — it's all in a "hard day's
night."

Scots Tackle Emory and Henry Tonight
The Maryville College football
team will open its 1964 home
season tonight when they meet
Emory & Henry College at eight
o'clock on Honnaker Field. The
Scots, seeking to extend their
record to three wins and no
losses, will have a special incen-
tive to defeat the Emory & Henry
squad. The Wasps ruined Mary-
ville's bid for a "perfect record
last year with a 13 to 6 setback
delivered on their home field in
Virginia.
Hawkins Injurtd
Emory & Henry lost only five
men from their 1963 team which
was generally recognized as one
of the finest small college teams
in the South. Twenty-two letter-
men returned to bolster the
Wasps. With two of the returnees
being Little All-American selec-
tions, the Wasps were looking
forward to an excellent season.
However, they have failed to win
a single game so far this season
and have lost three. The losses
came at the hand of Elon College,
Carson-Newman, and Catawba by
identical scores of 14 to 6. The
failure of the 1964 edition of
the Emory & Henry squad can be
attributed to two factors. Al-
though the V/asps lost only five
lettermen, four of them were line-
backers. Tlieir absence forces
Coach Casto Ramsey to fill the
highly important position with
inexperienced personnel. The sec-
ond, and more important factor,
is the loss of their Little All-
American halfback Earl Haw-
kins. Hawkins, the fifth leading
rusher in the nation last year
with 1037 yards and the leading
scorer in Virginia with 14 touch-
downs in 11 games, was counted
on to havt; his best year. How-
ever, he suffered a broken collar
bone while making a diving catch
of a pass during fall practice and
is not e:cpected to see action
against the Scots.
Backfidd Unsettled
The back field is led by half-
back and co-captain Bobby Ma-
gill. Magill, a good defensive
back and the team's leading re-
ceiver last year, won All-State
honors for his play last year. The
other halfback is Gary Arnold
(6'1", 190). He has scored two
of the Wasps' three touchdowns
so far this year. Arnold is one of
the best defensive backs in the
area, intercepting eleven passes
during the '63 season. The Wasps
are weak at quarterback and full-
back. Coach Casto Ramsey start-
ed the season with two returning
lettermen at quarerback — Ron
Bales and Carrey Anderson.
However, both have done poorly
and may be replaced by sopho-
more Buster Coomes. At fullback
Charlie Teefey, a 195 pounder,
has not lived up to expectations
and may be replaced by fresh-
man Bud Carlton.
Stitistics Reveal Weakness
The statistics from the Wasps'
first three games yield some in-
teresting facts. Their offense on
the ground is rapidly improving.
They moved from a meager 62
yards rushing in their opener, to
147 in their second to a respect-
able 204 yards in the third. Their
passing game, however, leaves
much to be desired. After gain-
ing 84 yards in the air in the first
game, the Wasps have picked up
only 74 yards on 7 completions
in 21 attempts in the next two
contests. A third statistic con-
cerns the Emory & Henry pass
defense. Although Arnold and
Magill are highly rated defend-
ers, five of the six touchdowns
that have been scored against the
Wasps have come through the
air.
In summary, Maryville can ex-
pect the Wasps to be a strong
running team. However, the lack
of a passing threat will enable

the Scots to concentrate their de-
fenses on the ground attack. Sec-
ondly, the fine passers and re-
ceivers on the Maryville team
should be a source of much trou-
ble in the unsettled defensive sec-
ondary of the Emory & Henry
team.
Big Line Aids Wasps
The Emory & Henry squad is
blessed with a large and ex-
perienced line that averages over
200 pounds per man. At ends the
Wasps have two tough and sea-
soned performers — Bill Maxson
(6'3", 217) and Pete Tosh (6',
200). Maxson was moved to end
from tackle to take advantage
of his size and speed. He is
primarily a blocker and defen-
sive man. Tosh is also a fine de-
fensive end. Although the Emory
& Henry press releases list him
as a good receiver, the fact re-
mains that he managed to catch
only one pass in '63. Maxson also
made only one reception. They
are doing little better in '64. Tom
Ely (6', 210) and Mike Basham
(6' 2V2", 235) are the tackles.
Basham is a fine performer who
won several post-season honors
last year. He has received several
professional offers. At guard the
Wasps have Little All-American
Bob Bryant (5' 11, 200) and Fred
Reed (6', 170). Bryant is strong
on both offense and defensive
and is having a fine year. Center
is handled by Rhea (6', 193), a
good tackier and team leader.

An Introduction to Soccer
by Phil Jerome
One of the reasons for the
great spectator appeal of the
game of soccer is the fact that
the ball is almost always in play.
Only on rare occasions does the
referee's whistle call for the stop-
page of play. Even when the
whistle is blown, action is usually
halted only for a matter of sec-
onds. It is the purpose of this
article to discuss the rules that
govern the game.
Play is stopped when the ball
goes out of bounds. The rule
governing the putting of the ball
into play again is similar to the
rule in basketball. If team A
is the last team to touch the bail
before it goes out of bounds, team
B is awarded the ball from the
point where it left the field of
play. When the ball goes out of
bounds over the end lines (the
side lines on which the goals are
located) after being touched last
by the defensive team, the of-
fensive team is awarded a corner
kick. The ball is taken to the
corner and kicked into play from
there. Corner kicks provide the
offense particularly good scoring
opportunities.
Play is stopped when the re-
feree calls a foul. The most basic
foul is the hand ball. If any play-
er other than the goalie touches
the ball with either his arm or
hand, the other team is awarded
possesion of the ball from the
point of the foul. If a hand ball
is called on the defensive team
when they are in the penalty
area, the offensive is awarded a
penalty kick. All players abandon
the penalty area except the goalie
and a player designated by the

If you think that all the wel-
comes and welcome-back slogans
have ended, you are wrong. For
here is the opportunity to invite
each and everyone of the women
on campus to participate in the
intramural program.
Kicking off our women's in-
tramural season, Women's "M"
Club and WAA jointly sponsored
a welcoming party on September
22, for all women students. A
comedy skit was presented de-
scribing "Women's Olympics at
MC," and later, refreshments
were served.
The Women's "M" Club recent-
ly held its annual fall retreat at
Cades Cove. At this time, be-
tween pitching tents and cook-
ing campfire stew, the members
planned the WAA sports activi-
ties for this year. In addition to
its regular curriculum of sports,
WAA has added golf, and sched-
uled more games to be played
in every sport.
Field Hockey will be the first
sport of the new season and
practice sessions have already be-
gun. These sessions will be con-
tinued until October 8 and the
first competitive game will be
held on October 13.
Following field hockey will be
soccer and volleyball. As each
sport gets under way, signs with
more information will appear
around campus, and in the
dorms. So, come on out, y'all, and
support the team of your choice I
Traveling for the second time in as many weeks to central Ken-
tucky, our fighting Scots put Georgetown's Tiger in their tank to
the tune of 20 — 14. The game was an exciting one right from the
beginning as neither team was ever in complete control of the game
for very long. In the final analysis it was Maryville's strong defense
that meant the difference. Georgetown had a slight edge in the
statistics but it was Maryville's dogged line that kept them from
scoring more often than they did.
The Scots were the first to break the scoring column as Rollin'
Roland McClanahan pushed across from the four yard line in the
first quarter. Quarterback Bennv Monroe added the point and the
7 — 0 lead held until Georgetown tied it up early in the second
quarter. Then, with H. H. Linginfeiter at the reins, Archie Anderson
took a short pass from quarterback and gave the lead back to our
side. The extra point attempt failed and the Scots went to the locker
room with a 13 — 6 halftime edge.
In the third quarter it was ^ho used his first two units very

fense and early in the fourth
quarter moved his team to an-
other touchdown. Now the score
was 20 — 14 and the extra point
attempt which had been blocked
after our second touchdown
loomed mighty large. Had the
Georgetowners been able to score
again, and they made several
frightening attempts, that one
blocked kick could have meant
the difference between a tie and
a defeat.
The tension was thick on the
visitors' side of the field through
the final minutes of the game
as the rushing Tigers violated
Maryville territory time and
again, only to lose the ball on
fumbles. The Scot line looked
particularly good during the
second half as they refused to
yield ground as the Georgetown-
ers ran deep into scoring ter-
ritory. The victory was one that
Head Coach Howard Tomlinson,
Maryville guard, is now a line-
man for the Tigers.
Riding high on a string of
two straight away victories, the
Scots are preparing to take on
Emory and Henry College today
in their home debut. It was these
same Wasps that handed our boys
their only loss of last year's sea-
son and the Scots are eager to
return the favor. E & H has had
a dismal season thus far, having
lost three times without a victory.
The main reason for their failure
this year has been the injury to
huge Earl Hawkins, one of the
nation's leading scorers last year.

SOCCER, Cont
offensive team. From a point
twelve feet from the goal, the
offensive man tries to kick the
ball past the goalie into the goal.
Penalty kicks are the surest
method of scoring. However, few
are called and a team that misses
a penalty kick is passing an ex-
cellent opportunity. A second
foul is roughness, or interference.
Bodily contact is allowed only
if it is incidental to the play.
When the referee calls roughness,
the ball is awarded to the other
team from the point of the in-
fraction. A third type of foul is
called a "dangerous play." If a
player commits an act that the
referee rules is dangerous to
either of the players' health, he
awards the ball to the opposite
team.
Off-sides is one of the moit
important and least understood
of all rules. The essence of the
rule is that either the ball or a
defensive player other than the
goalie must be between the of-
fensive man and the goal at all
times. This prevents a team from
stationing a man deep in enemy
territory to receive long pa'>se?.
It has been possi^' to cover
only the most basic of rules In
this article. If during the course
of the game the referee makes a
call that you do not understand,
it would be appreciated if you
would submit your question to
any member of the soccer team
so that it may bo discussed in

this series will appear next week
when the prospects and personnel
of the Maryville team will be

From the attic
to the hasement
by Sandy Briggs
Yes, indeed, the best was saved
until last — last Saturday night
when Alpha Sigma-Theta Epsilon
finished off Rush Week with a
Tucker original, "An Atticr My-
stery." The naturalistic setting of
Fayerweather Hall and the in-
formal attire were refreshing
changes from the traditional past.
The show started and ended
in roars of laughter, beginning
with D. Smook falling into the
fish pond and ending with B. T.
monkeying. On the more tragic
side was one whole freshman sec-
tion fainting when the fifth real-
live type car arrived on the scene
(a 64 T-bird convertible). They
were quickly revived, however,
when Tennessee Terror McCamp-
bell and his gang from Dirty
Louie's stormed in screaming,
shouting, and dragging them to
Dirty Louie's, too.
But due to a nasty rain god,
Mrs. Robinson's basement had to

Encountering coed concerns for
the first time is Miss Wither-
spoon at the Taylor House. From
Illinois and the aunt of former
economics professor Wither-
spoon, she says she finds her
work "sheer joy . . . well, al-
most."
Mrs. Pankey from Missouri is
minding her brood at the Craw-
ford House for her first year at
M.C, although she has had twelve
years of experience.
Still surviving after a one year
sample of M.C, Mrs. Gillespie
from North Carolina is* back for
seconds in Pearsons Hall. She
thinks her girls are great and
finds many rewards as a house-
mother.
This special group of women
turns out to be really not too
bad. They plead not to be made
to "sound too rabid." So, the next
time the 10:30 beat-it bell sounds,
just remember, fellows, her moth-
er would probably push you out
the door too!
Or is there a rule for that too? . . . this is like a high school cafeteria
. . . blue bread? ... do you have a short, stubby uvula or a long,
skinny, dangling one? ... I would rather have her in bed and
quiet than up and talking . . . ain't you never seen an integrated
funeral? . . . that's what we live by— 37b, generalizations ... I al-
ways like to touch the statues ... a good Christian woman: I think

Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee, October 17, 1964
No. 3

The Status Quo
For a good many years prior
to 1960, the following statement
appeared in the Maryville College
catalog: "Those who are out of
sympathy with Maryville College
ideals, methods, or regulations, or
who for any reason do not expect
to abide by and support them are
requested not to enroll* at Mary-
ville." In 1960 a change was
made in this statement. Though
barely perceptible, the change is
somewhat heartening. The state-
ment now reads as follows: "The
College encourages application
only from those who are in sym-
pathy with the institution's ideals,
methods, and regulations and
who would expect to abide by
and support them."
For at least 25 years, and prob-
ably longer, each student admit-
ted to MC has signed basically
the same "pledge of college loy-
alty." The majority sign the
pledge, which is found at the
bottom of the application, and
promptly forget it. A small but
significant minority are reminded
of their pledge when MC kisses
them goodbye, be it temporarily
or permanently, and tlieir "as
low as possible" expenses go
down the drain — all because of
an infraction of the general col-
lege regulations.
When a student is dismissed
from Maryville, the comments
occurs repeatedly: "What right
has Maryville . . .?" The answer
.of his fellows are varied, but one
is obvious. Each student here
gave Maryville the right, volun-
tarily, when he signed this pled-
ge: "Recognizing the fact that
Maryville College is a private in-
stitution . . . and that admission
to its privileges or continuance
in them is conditioned entirely
upon the continued consent of
the authorities of the institution,
I hereby pledge my word of
honor that if my application for
admission is accepted, / wUl con-
form to the regulations of the
College so long as I am connected
with it as a student; and that
/ will throw my influence as a
student and as a member of any
class or other college organization
in favor of college law and order;
and I accept this pledge that I
have signed as sufficient notifi-
cation that I shall forfeit my
standing as a student and what-
' ever college fees I may have paid,
if I violate this pledge now
taken." (Italics mine)
Surprised? I had forgotten
too. So, the next time you start
to steal a test from a teacher's
office, or bring a car back after
vacation, or have a few beers at
Piggie's, or go into a motel on
Saturday night, remember — "if
I violate this pledge . . ."
MC sponsors reading improvement
The Class of 1968
elects B. Bisserup
first president
Beginning October 28, and continuing through December 16, ex-
perts from The Reading Laboratory, Inc. of Philadelfyhia and New
York will conduct reading improvement classes on the Maryville
College campus for all students interested in improving confidence,
speed, comprehension, concentration and critical abilities in read-
ing. This is not, however, a program of speed reading or remedial
reading.
Class size limited
Each class will be limited to
twelve and will meet three hours
per week, scheduled at the con-
venience of those who enroll. Stu-
dents and adults in the commun-
ity of Maryville may also take the
course.
Tests to be given
Tests to determine maturity
and proficiency, conducted at the
beginning of the course, will gov-
ern the curriculum. Although be-
ing uniform in structure, the pro-
gram will be individualized on
the basis of the scores achieved
on the tests. The course will be
concentrated, dealing with a var-
iety of training tasks.
Cost set
Presented in over two hundred
colleges and schools and by a
number of leading industries in
the United States, the reading
course has proved to be bene-
ficial to both those in industry
and high school and college stu-
dents. Cost for the six weeks pro-
gram will be $75, one-half pay-

On Wednesday, October 7, remainder at the end of the

to elect the following officers:
President: Bob Bisserup
Vice-president* John Haynie
Secretary-treasurer: Chris Wald
Student council representatives:
Doug Gamble
Jenny Jett
Dick Nelson
Cole Piper
Bob Bisserup, the first presi-
dent of the Class of '68, should
prove an asset to the Maryville
College family. Bob hails from
New York City and is experienc-
ing his first taste of life in the
sunny South. He finds our cam-
pus "very pretty," the students
"very congenial," and the campus
life here "not as dull" as he ex-
pected. He has high hopes for
his class — including a victory in
the Homecoming float competi-
tion. "I know every freshman
class thinks they're going to
win — but we are."
As far as the regulations of
Maryville College are concerned,
Bob thinks the cut system is "ier-
ribleV He would support some
form of a limited cars-on-campus
program and feels that prohibit-
ing drinking off-campus by 21-
year-olds is unrealistic, though
he agrees with college policy as
to on-campus drinking.
Bob is not limiting his par-
ticipation in campus life to stu-
dent government. He is playing
on the soccer team and plans to
follow in our student body pres-
ident's footsteps as a member of
the basketball team.
Bob asked for an opportunity
to express his thanks to the fresh-
men for electing him and to the
upperclassmen for the advice and
backing they have given him.
1964 Homecoming Queen
MC to play
2 sports today
The Maryville College Scots will
meet Berea College in a soccei
game this afternoon at 2 p.m. MC
played two games with Berea last
year, winning 3-2 and losing 5-1.
The thus-far undefeated Scots*
football team will play Livingston
State at 8 p.m. This will be the
Scots' first encounter with this
team, which has a record similar
to the MC record.
Students' expenses
to be studied
The department of economics
and business administration is
undertaking a project to study
student expenditures for the
school year.
r/» order to obtain the best
possible information, students
will be divided into two groups.
The first group will be asked to
list their daily expenditures, and
the second group will be asked
to estimate their expenditures
during the college year.
Since many students are in-
terested in knowing their ' per-
sonal expenditures, the market-
ing class, which will be doing the
interviewing, feels this study to
be beneficial to the student body.
There's just one rule for politi-
cians all over the world: Don't say
in Power what you say in Opposi-
tion; if you do, you only have to
carry out what the other fellows
hav« found impMsib}e.
John Cabworthy
Margaret Hanson, senior pre-med major from Belle Center, Ohio,
will reign over the Homecoming festivities on October 31. She was elected
Thursday by the MC student body. She will be attended by Lorraine Briggs,
Kathy Burgess, Janet Melville, and Gail Smith.

Lip service
We enjoyed the freshman class election — as well as any upper
classnnan can from such a distance. People seemed interested and
excited, even lower upper classmen. It looked like fun.
Our only complaint, besides the posters, was the percentage of
freshmen who voted — 80%. That's small for us: we are used to
hitting 97-100%. A friend. of ours generously suggested that all
classes may begin with such a low percentage. Maybe the freshmen
haven't caught onto that tradition yet.
Not a very good example has been set for the freshmen if at-
tendance at the student body meeting on Wednesday were any
criterion. These are traditionally attended by only those who cannot
manage to scramble over the feet of an unsuspecting-thus-unprepared
chapel monitor. So many juniors and seniors left — who wants
Homecoming anyway?
The most well-attended student body meeting we can remember
is that that one two years ago which was called by demand of the
students, because two or three drinkers had been shafted. The idea
was to organize some sort of spontaneous uprising against MC.
(Garrett quelled the mob.)
So what if there's nothing sensational going on? Mike and Jon
both wear black socks.

The other day as I searched for
a book in the 200 section of the
libiary, I came upon one which
had somehow escaped last year's
spring cleaning given to this sec-
tion by our helpful student body.
There wasn't even a date due
slip in this book. Instead a yel-
lowing letter fell out of its pages.
This letter which was dated 1924,
was evidently written by some
member of the class of '28 as she
discovered the joys of life "on
the Hill."
"Dearest Mother and Father,
Each day I spend here 'on the
Hill,' I find more exciting things
to do. Next weekend some of the
girls are going on a hike. My new
knickers will be just the thing
for it.
The past week was our chance
to become acquainted with the
two girls' literary societies —
Bainonian and Theta Epsilon.
They had a joint bonfire out in
the college woods. It is so diffi-
cult to decide which one to join.
They each have such exciting
things planned. Why, last year
Theta did a production of 'Little
Women.' And this year Bainon-
ian plans to do 'Miss Lulu Bett.'
Oh, I did some moonshining
yesterday. You know, that's what
we call walking or talking, etc.
with a member of the opposite
gender. We are allowed to pursue
this sport at noon (12:50-1 :10),
Monday afternoons (1:00-4:30),
to church on Sundays, at ball
games, social functions at the
chapel, and other like occasions.
My roommate has joined the
TEX-ARK-OMA Club. It is a
state club which she is eligi-
ble to join because she
comes from Arkansas. I feel rath-
er left out because there are not
enough here from New Jersey
to form a Garden State CIuIj.
I must close for now and pre-
pare for our football game with
LMU. Last year we defeated
them, 74-0. Of course, it was
their football debut.
Your loving daughter,
Gladys"

Dalton Scores Twice
Monroe Passes Soots By Emory & Henry
by Dave King
From the way everyone was
acting an outsider would have
thought that Maryville had just
won in the Rose Bowl. Fans
screaming, the Band playing,
football players laughing and
jumping and carrying the coach-
es off the field — it all re-
sembled a victory party the likes
of which Maryville hasn't seen
for quite a while. And on the face
of it, it really didn't seem like
any sort of a special victory.
After all, Emory and Henry has-
n't won a game yet this year and
their star player, Earl Hawkins,
is still sidelined with injuries.
Maryville was dazzling both
on the ground and in the air as
they gained 350 yards against the
struggling Wasps. Mike Dalton
was the big hero of the evening
for our side as he personally ac-
counted for two touchdowns and
a number of key tackles. Benny
Monroe looked particularly sharp
at quarterback as he and H. H.
Linginfelter completed 8 of the
11 passes they attempted. Rol-
and McClanahan scampered all
over the field and even attempt-
ed a pass himself on one play,
although it was incomplete. De-
fensively, the Scots looked good
and special credit should go to
the "big boys" of the interior line
who twice thwarted Wasp touch-
down drives dangerously deep in
Maryville territory. Mike Dal-
ton's standout play was somewhat
ironic, for it was he who had the
misfortune of being Benny Mon-

Benny Monroe rolls out on a past
play - a maneuver that was a fre-
quent source of trouble to Wasp
defenders.
roe's intended receiver on a pass
play in the dying seconds of last
year's game which, had it been
complete, might have meant vic-
tory instead of defeat for our
side.
The Wasps started off strong
but it was Maryville which drew
first blood on a flashy Monroe
to Dalton pass play that covered
59 yards in the first period. The
PAT was no good but Maryville
still had a 6-0 lead. Speedy Bob-
by Magill, who often seemed un-
happy with the defensive play
of the Maryville secondary an^
didn't hesitate to tell anyone who
would listen to him and a few
who wouldn't, evened the score
in the second quarter but a block-
ed kick kept the score even at 6
apiece. As time slowly evapor-
ated toward halftime and cold
fans began turning their eyes to-
ward the coffee-stocked refresh-
ment stands, the Scot offense
turned itself on strong again and
it was the Monroe to Dalton pat-
tern that put us ahead again. The
pass play was another spectacular
one, this time covering 53 yards.
A Benny Monroe kick split the
uprights this time and the half-
time score was a pleasant 13-6.
As the third quarter marched
along it was Jeff "Bushhog"
Slagle's turn to enter the scoring
column, as he pushed four yards
for the third Maryville TD of the
night. The kick was good and
the 20 — 6 margin looked mighty
good. The tough Scot defense,
rapidly gaining a reputation for
its goalline stands, pushed back
another Wasp drive and we took
over deep in our own territory.
This time the offense wasn't able
to move the ball far enough and
a quick kick was called for. Un-
fortunately, there was a bad snap
from center and before anyone
realized what was happening,
Emory and Henry had picked up
the errant pigskin and had scored
from our 19 yard line. An at-
tempt for a two-point conversion
went amiss and the Bees had to
settle for a 20 — 12 score. The
final quarter saw both sides make
attempts at scoring, including a
heartstopping series of downs
near the Maryville goal, but
neither side was able to add to
their total points. A series of
penalties against the Virginia
team in the dying seconds of the
game for poor sportsmanship
moved the Scots to the midfield
mark but had no real effect on
the outcome of the game, other
than to point up the excitement
and the tension that existed on
the playing field.
The Emory and Henry defeat
was an important one for the
big Scots since the Wasps pre-
sented one of the biggest threats
we'll have all year. Carson-New-
man, our arch-rivals from Jeffer-
son City, can always be counted
on to put up a strong fight, as
last year's dramatic 27-24 action-

boys apparently felt that if they
could get by Emory and Henry
and even the score for last year,
the going for the rest of the sea-

The victory was an importanil
one, to be sure, for it gave our
side added confidence in what
they can do against top flight
competition and it gave the cheer-
ing fans who crowded the field
their money's worth and then
some. However, this seems to be
shaping up as a year of big up-
sets in college and professional
football and it would be a real
shame if Maryville's justified
confdence ran a muck and
some second-rate team knocked
us from our pedestal. After this
big win over Emory and Henry
each of our opponents is going
to be doing its best to knock us
from the ranks of the undefeated
— if we can play as we have for
the remainder of the season our
five remaining opponents would
be best off to forfeit their games.

The Shape Of Things To Come
by
Dr. Esther Swenson
The primary reason for the existence of Maryville College is not
that it is a church, nor an ethical society, nor a social club, nor even
that it provides a safe spot for four years in a world which is rapid-
ly and iraumatically changing. Nor does Maryville College exist in
order that persons might learn some trade to ply and thereby ensure
their economic future. Maryville College exists primarily as an ac-
ademic community with the exciting possibility of helping to create
a new world. An academic community exists by virtue of its vision
of the future, not of the past, and by its orientation toward setting
persons free to enter into the tensions and struggles of a constantly
changing world in a creating freedom.
Opportunity it available rules, although such rules may
We can ask, "What is the op. "^^d drastic changing. His first
portunity of the 'st'udent' in such ^,«"^^^" ^^ "^^ to save his fellow
a community? What does it mean classmates from despair through
to be a member of such a com- amateur psychoanalysis and senti-
munity?" First, it means to re-
ceive the opportunity to "under-
stand" the world through the con-
tents of given subject-matter.
None of the academic disciplines
developed out of or stayed alive
in absentia from the changing
world, though some are taught as
if they had! The student is to re-
ceive the opportunity to formu-
late conceptions by which to
grasp the world into which he is
going (not the world which is al-
ready gone) ! Secondly, the stu-
dent is to receive the opportunity
to begin to form a vision of the
world-which-might-yet-become, to
unite in his own unique patterns
sets of values which are live op-
tions in his culture and to create
forms of values by w'hich the new
world might take shape.
Responsibility is required
We can also ask, "What is the
responsibility of the student in
such a community?" His respons-
ibility is to ask constandy that
these opportunities be given to
him. His first concern is not to
gripe or complain about social
mental do-goodism. By his own
living encounter with that which
we call "subject-matter" he is to
seek to secure that the reality of
the opportunity for and the right
to a new world is granted through
him unto all humanity.
All are learners
There are two foci of orienta-
tion in the structure of any aca-
demic community. The first of
these is the world which this arti-
ficial community is formed to
serve. Without sure knowledge of
the nature of that world, the aca-
demic community becomes a
collectivity, a lumping together
of disparate and perhaps desper-
ate people. A college can move
from collectivity to community
only as it strives together (from
the highest administration mem-
ber to the lowliest student), not
to gather facts or knowledge of
subject matter, but in and
through these attempting to un-

There is no distinction in this
area of responsibility and op-

Creativity is needed

is formed not only to understand

Three Years Before the
Shaft: Confession of an
Overzealous Bibliophile
". . . we had an unusual experi-
ence in our college library on
Thursday evening, May 21. A
number of students decided to go
into the library in a group and
to remove from a particular sec-
tion of the shelves five books
each." (Letters From My Still)
Funny you should mention that.
The great library raid of '64 —
I remember it well. Come spring,
and a young man's fancy turns
to love. Wafted across the cam-
pus is the gentle cry of PANTY-
RAID. But not at one small insti-
tution nestled in the ant hills of
the you-know-what mountains.
More heinous crimes of passion
were in the works here.
". . .students were part of a
concerted movement to disrupt
the library program for that
evening and to strip the shelves
bare of all books in one of the
academic areas."
The depths of depravity to
which these students had fallen
were all too soon revealed. A
small pilot group, trained in the
deadly arts of jujitsu, karate, and
the Dewey Decimal System,
gained the Ubrary in a sweeping
rush, and penetrated into the
dark reaches of the academic
area: section 200. (This was, na-
turally, disrupting to library pro-
cedure, and disturbing to other
students — especially couples pur-
suing the academics in sections
one thru sixty-nine.)
". . .to be & w e p t into this
thoughtless movement that could
sjo easily have become more seri-
ous." Sic
The pattern had been establish-
ed; the rush was on. Other stu-
dents, on their way to and from
the student center and college
farm, were drawn into the festi-
vities. Books, many of which had
not see the light of day since they
were lovingly set on the shelf by
Isaac himself, were recklessly
checked out. Dusted off, even.
Many students, arriving late, were
disappointed in finding their fa-
vorites gone; all six copies of
Fanny HUl had disappeared.
Many had to settle for second
best: The Little Golden Book of
Pornography finally reached cir-
culation.
". . .to assess three demerits to
each person who took part in this
incident." (sic, sic, sic)
But justice was swift upon the
heads of the guilty. The leaders,
last seen bouncing over a speed-
break in a dark blue 41/^-Htie
Bentley, series 1933-S4, with the
Amherst Villiers supercharges,
model number C-31v, had made a
successful escape. But retribution

Mac Leish's 'J.B.' being
produced tliis weeiiend at MC
J.B., Archibald MacLeish's
powerful drama based on the
Book of Job, is being produced
this weekend at Maryville College
at 8:15 in the Theatre.
Five children play
The role of J.B. is being played
by David Evans. Mr. Zuss is
being played by David King, and
Dale Schellenger is playing Mr.
Nickles. David Eby plays The
Distant Voice. Mary Gay Boet-
tcher is playing Sarah.
Others in the cast are John
Kerr, Douglas Gamble, Pete
Park, and Virginia Proffitt. Five
children are also part of the cast:
Emily and Suzanne Schoen,
Sarah and David Edmondson,
and David Lyle.
Playhouse consults MacLeish
Considerable care has been
taken by the director, Thomas
Jones, and the technical person-
fell quicky upon the others. Tht
dread sentence of three demerits
struck terror into their hearts.
(One unfortunate youth was
heard to comment that three de-
merits for library books could
never compare to nine of the
same for a week-end's illicit Joy
in a motel. Or, at least, checking
out the book wasn't one third the
fun of the second-mentioned
crime.)
". . .to make students stop to
think instead of being swept
along by irresponsible mass act-
ion."
Oh, we'll stop to think next
time, all right. In fact, we're
thinking right now. Thinking
about our three demerits. And,
quoth old what's-his-name,
"They'll never give demerits to
forty people at one time." You
bet.
"We are always trying to achi-
eve a better understanding of the
problems facing both students
and faculty in an effort to make
Maryville College a better educa-
tional community."
And in your heart you know
he's right.
SPECTRE
nel to present the play as the
author intended in the original
script, and MacLeish's ideas have
been sought on several points.
The single setting, which will
be used without a stage curtain,
consists of three rings: inner,
J.B.'s world; middle, Satan's
world; and outer, God's world.
Lighting and other technical de-
vices will be used to help set the
mood and include the audience
in the play.
"Electronic music" used
Both the setting and original
costumes and makeup will help
carry out the extensive symbolism
in MacLeish's work. Original or-
gan music by Tom Llewellyn will
be used during the introduction,
and contemporary "electronic
music" is used also.

The Highland Echo QFpV
It seems that we do a lot of reminiscing lately. But we did no-
tice a difference Tuesday night, and we want to talk about it.
Dinner was like any other night's, even though there was an
Artists Series program at 8:15. That used to be an Occasion. We
either came to dinner dressed up or we did without. There were
surely people who grumbled about the trouble they went to, but
there was a party feeling in the air.
Tuesday night I noticed only two unusual things: somebody had
a corsage at one comer of the table, and somebody sang the Mickey
Mouse song. The latter seems to express pretty well the general
attitude toward Artists Series. Attendance has been steadily falling
as well. It ain't what it used to be. If we didn't know better, we'd say
MC was going casual.

Dear Miss Editor:
Please permit me to expand on
my colleague's article on "The
Shape of Things to Come." The
article was thought-provoking and
contained many ideas that our
college community may well take
to heart. However, it presents an
incomplete picture of Maryville
College's announced p ur p o s e s.
This is especially true of the "ne-
gations" and their implications.
The Maryville College purpose
is more than that of being "pri-
marily" an academic community.
Hundreds of colleges have such
a singular purpose — and facul-
ty and students in them pretty
well limit themselves to learning
and to creative activity. But Mary-
ville's purpose includes the deve-
lopment of the whole person —
having a concern for a student's
religious life in the church, to-
gether with his ethical and so-
cial maturation through the
years of later adolescence. Evi-
dence abounds from empirical
studies indicating the benefits to
the individual and to society
when the human adolescent is
permitted to mature in these
years without much necessity or
responsibility for earning a liv-
ing amid the tensions and strug-
gles of economic and political
life.
Just glance at the inside co-
ver of the Maryville College bul
letin. There is stated Maryville's
purpose as adopted by its respon-
sible officers. The inclusive con-
cern in this academic community
is clearly evident: "It is the pur-
pose of Maryville College to
graduate Christian scholars res-
ponsive to God, who are intellectu,»_
ally and socially mature indivi-
duals serving their fellowmen."
It is within this larger purpose
that we at Maryville have the
opportunities and responsibilities
for creative learning.
Furthermore, Dr. Swenson's as-
sumption that students are in
some sense bound — needing to
be set free to enter the world —
this assumption is foreign to the
Maryville purpose. Rather, the
"Purpose," admission policies,
curriculum, etc., all assume free
students in a free society, free-
ly choosing to come to Maryville
to associate themselves for a few
years with free scholars who have
already demonstrated their abi-
lity to understand the present in
the light of the past and to
"stand-under" the changing world
with a vision of the "world-
which-might-yet- become."
There is a difference between
teacher and pupil in the respon-
sibility and opportunity for crea-
tive learning — a difference in
degree if not in kind. Were such
a difference not so, any "student"
might well have written "The
Shape of Things to Come" (al-
though I cannot imagine it being
written by anyone with much less
academic preparation than Dr.
Swenson). Indeed, were it not for
this difference. Dr. Swenson
would not, in fact, be justified
in calling some people teachers
and some pupils — all alike
would (in childish and adolescent
ignorance) stumble forward in
"seeming" creative activity which
would repeat many of the tragic
blunders of the past.
Merely creative persons crea-
tively living in the present cre-
ate confusion and have little
"emancipation" indeed, except
they create toward a purpose-
ful goal in a world which
is not only constantly changing,
bul which is also bound and
limited by the creativity and
change in past history. Such
bounds and limitations are ex-
pressed in Maryville's "Purpose"
by such words as "Christian"
scholars, responsive to "God,
"mature" individuals, and "serv
ing fellowmen."

Tennessee Politics
by ArHiur D. Aintworth
Tennessee cast its electoral vote for the Republican presidential
nominees in 1952, 1956 and 1960. However, it has never sent a Re-
publican to the U. S. Senate and has not elected a Republican gover-
nor since 1920. Consequently Tennessee is considered safe by the
Democrats this year as far as statewide offices are concerned but
questionable as far as the national ticket is concerned. The belief
that Tennessee can go either way in regard to the national ticket this
year is attested to by the fact that the major campaigners of both
parties have come one or more times this fall to Tennessee to cam-
paign.
State is divi<led
Althoug'h Tetinessee is solidly Democratic on the state level, East
Tennessee is as solidly Republican. Since the post-Civil War period
the First and Second Congressional Districts have consistently sent
a Republican to Congress. (These two districts embrace upper East
Tennessee and middle East Tennessee respectively.) This is explained
by the historical differences between East Tennessee and the other
two sections of Tennessee — Middle and West Tennessee.
Mountainous E^st Tennessee has historically been a region of
small farmers, which prior to the W^ar Between the States had few
slaves. On the other hand West Tennessee and to a lesser extent
Middle Tennessee was an area of large plantations, possessing many
slaves. During the Civil War, the other two sections of Tennessee
went with the Confedence States of America while the eastern part
of Tennessee sided with the North. This geographic-economic
division has persisted politically down to the present day. West and
Middle Tennessee continue to be the stronghold of the Democrats
while East Tennessee supports the Republicans. The increasing
mobility of the population is slowly changing this situation.
Civil rights not issue
It was felt earlier this year that the civil rights issue would play
a major role in Tennessee politics. However, the Democratic state
primary on August 6, which chose nominees for the two seats in
the U. S. Senate, seemed to disprove this. Ross Bass, the winner
of the Democratic nomination for the seat of the late Estes Kefauver,
polled more votes than his two opponents combined, even though one
of his opponents was the incumbent governor. Bass had voted for
the Civil Rights bill both before and after it was amended. Many
thought this would be the "kiss of death" for him politically in Ten-
nessee, particularly in West and Middle Tennessee. The vote indicated
that the civil rights issue was not and probably is not a major issue
in Tennessee, although the large vote for Bass undoubtedly was in
part an anti-Clement vote rather than a pro-Bass vote. Moreover,
none of the candidates ran as segregationists.
Vote may change
If tradition is followed, and there is no indication that it will
not be, Tennessee will again send two liberal Democratic senators
to the U. S. Senate and probably three Republicans from East Ten-
nessee to the House of Representatives. Although the' other six seats
in the House of Representative probably will remain controlled by
the Democrats, this is no longer as sure a thing as previously. Ten-
nessee Democrats have long supported Lyndon Johnson in preference
to Noi^hern Democraits and will continue to do so this year. The
alleged threat to the Tennessee Valley Authority by Barry Goldwater
may help to return Tennessee's electoral vote to the Democratic
column.
Emory and Berea
Top Soccer Team
The Maryville College soccer
team has gotten off to one of its
poorest starts in recent years, los-
ing its first two games by embar-
rassing scores. Emory University
inflicted the first defeat on the
Scots by a score of 8 to 2. In the
season's second encounter, the
Berea Bears handed the Mary-
ville team an even worse setback,
winning 8 to 0.
Emory Notches Early Lead
The Highlanders journeyed to
Atlanta, Georgia to meet Emory
in the first game of the year. A
myriad of missed kicks and poor
play in general by the Maryville
defensive team gave the Emory
squad an almost unbeatable score
of 5 to 0 in the first ten minutes
of the game. With a comfortable
lead, the Georgia school settled
back and played defensive soccer
to protect their five goal margin.
Shortly before the half the
Scots managed to push across a
score. The Emory University
goalie gambled that he could beat
the Maryville line of Adam De-
veney, Bill Blackwood, and Ed
Clark to the ball. He was bowled
over in the rush and Clark push-
ed the ball into the net to get
credit for the goal. In the second
half Emory scored three more
times. Dave Parrish collected the
second Maryville goal when he
sent the ball past the goalie on
a penalty kick.
Berea Scores After Half
Although the Scots entered
their game against Berea with
high hopes, their chances for vie-
tory were dispelled when the
Kentucky school scored six times
in the second half to pull away
to an 8 to 0 victory. In the first
half, right inside Austin Ahanotl
scored twice to give the Bears a
half time lead that left the Scots
within striking distance. How-
ever, an offensive and defensive
letdown by the Scots in the sec-
ond half permitted the Berea
squad to notch the six goals that
cemented the victory.
improvement Necessary
The soccer season is now al-
most one-third through and the
Scots have shown no signs of be-
coming a winning team. If they
hope to redeem themselves and
post a respectable record, much
improvement is necessary. The
Scots meet the University of Ten-
nessee Soccer Club next Satur-
day.

Presidential Campaign, 1964:
The Issues and the Candidates
by Rutull D. Parker
In the heat of the present cam-
paign it is easy to overlook the
fact that Lyndon B. Johnson
made a bid for the Democratic
nomination just four years ago.
At that time it was the collective
judgment of the journalists, edi-
tors, commentators and critics
who shape current opinion and of
the scholars who write the na-
tion's history that he was simply
not presidential timber. He was
considered by that element a
senatorial wheeler-and-dealer, a
concensus-taker who reduced
every policy to its lowest de-
.nominator and dared not veer
from the middle of the road. This
would seem to explain, at least
in part, why he is currently run-
ning scared, notwithstanding the
polls show him far ahead.
Goldwater Needs North
Barry Goldwater, the Senator
from Arizona, was likewise
prominent in the 1960 conven-
tion. The warm support extend-
ed him by ex- Vice-president
Nixon — as opposed to the cold-
ness of some Republican leaders
— may be traceable to Gold-
water's willingness to step aside
on the earlier occasion and cam-
paign vigorously in Nixon's be-
half. Goldwater's militancy in the
1964 convention, his circumven-
tion of the "old guard" and hi?
position on issues which tends to
embarrass lesser Republican
candidates has divided a party
which is sectional in the begin-
ning. The South's imposing
electoral bloc dictates a Republi-
can sweep in the North to win.
General Eisenhower did it twice,
but as a national figure.
Johnson Expert Operator
He seems possessed of a desire
to prove that he is not just a
Texan or Southerner or com-
promiser or manipulator, but
rather a nationalist and inter-
nationalist who leads inspiringly
a new alignment of Americans.
He exhibits in this desire a mili-
tancy, faith in the future and
open cheerfulness reminiscent of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Although
he lacks suavity, it is quite pos-
sible that as a political operator
Johnson surpasses even his expert
model.
With the calm and good humor
of a professor on the lecture plat-
form Senator Goldwater has
voiced the most violent charges
against his opponent heard in
modern Presidential politics.
Prosperity has deprived him of
most of the familiar pocketbook
issues. He majors on the sad state
of American liberties, morals and
law and order; he seems to pos-
sess a genius for picking de-
batable subjects and spends much
time defending himself against
Democratic charges that he is
"trigger-happy" and wants to
disrupt Social Security — and,
in the South, TVA.
Race Concern Declines
Whether Goldwater has profit-
ed from the "white backlash"
against the Negro rights move-
ment is problematical. The most
recent Gallup poll indicates a
marked decline in concern re-'
garding race relations since early
August. The latest survey rales
American concern as follows:
International problems ^^%
Racial problems 35
High cost of living 6
Unemployment 4
Too much government control 4
Other problems 17
No opinion 7
(Total exceeds 100% because
some persons named more than
one problem).
The same poll, to the query as
to which party might better deal
with these problems, reports these
findings:
Democrats 49%
Republicans 23
No difference 19
No opinion 9
The latest preference poll (Gal-
lup) shows:
Johnson 64%
Goldwater 29
Undecided 7
That both camps are dubious
of the reliability of polls — their
infallibility was strikingly reveal-
ed most recently in Truman's
1948 victory — is evidenced by
their feverish activity in register-
ing voters to insure against
apathy and the strong appeal
being made to the "indepen-
dents." Noi to be discounted is
the effect of last-minute events.
These seem to be piling up with
unprecedented intensity, loaded
with political implications, and
may well produce surprises in
November.

Monroe Paces Rally as Scots Win Fourth
The Maryville College football
team made a brilliant fourth
quarter comeback to defeat the
Livingston State Tigers by a
score of 31 to 22 in a game play-
ed last Saturday. The difference
in the game was Benny Monroe.
The senior quarterback from At-
hens, Tennessee is playing up to
his fullest potential and must be
considered a definite Little All-
American candidate. In the game
against Livingston State Monroe
personally accounted for 13
points, booting four extra points,
a thirty-five yai^, field goal and
running nine yards for a touch-
down. In addition Monroe threw
two touchdown passes, a 31 yard
pass and run play to Roland Mc-
Clanahan and a 32 yard toss to
Sonny Webb.
Long PassM Pace Scots
Maryville moved to its first
touchdown after receiving the
opening kick-off. Monroe called
for a screen pass and hit Roland
McClanahan in the flat with three
blockers in front of him and
McClanahan carried the pass 31
yards into the end zone. Monroe
added the extra point and the
Scots had a 7 to 0 lead.
In the second quarter the Scots
scored again. Again it was a pass
play. This time, however, Mc-
Clanahan did the passing. Mon-
roe swept around left end and
then lateralled back to McClana-
han. The senior halfback spiraled
a long pass downfield toward
Mike Dalton who was running
even with the two defensive
backs. At the proper moment
Dalton accelerated, grabbed the
pass and raced into the end zone,
leaving the defenders far behind.
The play covered a total of 60
yards. Monroe again, booted the
ball between the uprights and the
Scots had a 14 to 0 lead. How-
ever, the Tigers from Alabama
also picked up a touchdown in
the second quarter. The extra
point attempt failed and Mary-
ville left the field at half time
with a 14 to 6 lead.
Interior Lino Exceii
In fairness to the Tigers of
Livingston State, the game was
far closer than the final score
revealed. Perhaps the truest in-
dication of the equality of the
two teams was the statistics. Both
teams picked up 19 first downs.
Maryville had a total offense of
346 yards and Livingston State
Baird Sends Cagers
Through First Drills
The Maryville College basket-
ball team under the direction of
Coach Boydson Baird began prac-
tice for their 1964-1965 season
last week. Coach Baird welcomed
a squad of 23 men to the first
practice — six veterans and 17
newcomers.
A major change in the organi-
zation of the athletic department
last year released Baird from his
duties as head football coach, al-
lowing him to spend more time
i n improving the basketball
squad. One of the innovations
that Baird has added this year is
a weight training program. The
players go through a series of
knee-bends and toe raises with
the weights on their shoulders in
an attempt to improve their jump-
ing ability. In the early practices
Coach Baird has been sending
•his squad through drills designed
to improve their defensive play.
gained 344. Each team completed
11 passes; the Scots attempted 24
and the Tigers 21. The Maryville
victory was a tribute to the de-
sire of their interior line. Out-
weighted almost 25 pounds per
man, ends Sonny Webb and Mike
Dalton, tackles Bill Napier and
Jim Pryor, guards Clint Abbott,
Charles Berry, and Frank Eggers,
and center Don Story did an ex-
cellent job of containing their
significantly larger opponents.
Scott Met Guilford
Today the Highlanders are on
the road, meeting Guilford Col-
lege of North Carolina. During
the 1963 season, the Scots defeat-
ed the Guilford squad twice.
Coach Howard Tomlinson and
his able staff of Lauren Kar-
datzke and Wilbur Ramsey will
lead their Maryville team in
hopes of notching their fifth vic-
tory of the year.
Monroe Leads Comeback
Maryville came back from the
break and moved to their third
touchdown. A 32 yard pass from
Benny Monroe found Sonny
Webb racing across the end zone.
With the addition of the extra
point on a Monroe conversion,

the possessors of a comfortable
margin. However, the Livingston
State squad unleashed a powerful
attack that netted two touchdowns
and 15 points. The splurge put
Maryville behind by a score of

22 to 21, the first time that the
Highlanders have trailed this sea-
son. The Alabamians took full
advantage of their great size ad-
vantage and held the Scots score-
less, repelling a field goal at-
tempt by Monroe. With five
minutes left in the game, the
Tigers still held tenaciously to
their narrow margin. After the
Livingston State squad had halted
a Maryville attempt for a first
down, Benny Monroe stepped
back to the thirty-five yard line
and booted a floating kick that
cleared the cross bar by inches.
The field goal pushed the Scots
past tne Tigers 24 to 22. The
Alabama school took the kick-off
and began to drive for the Mary-,
ville goal. The defensive line ot
the Scots, however, were too
tough and Livingston State was
forced to relinquish the ball. The
Scots with Monroe at the helm
moved steadily down the field
on a devastating ground at-
tack that not only ate up
a sizable portion of the remain-
ing time, but also resulted in a
touchdown that put the game
hopelessly beyond the reach of
the visitors from Alabama. The
final thrust in the drive was a
nine yard run by Monroe for
the touchdown.
One of the basic plays in the offensive system of the Maryville
football team is the power pljiy. The play is used when short yardage
is needed. In the play diagrammed above, Benny Monroe receives
the pass from center and laterals immediately to his halfback Roland
McClanahan. Monroe then leads the interference. The key blocking
assignments are handled by the tackle, the end, the slotback, the
fullback, and the quarterback. The tackle and the end must take the
defensive tackle out of the play. The tackle halts his penetration
and the slotback blasts him out of the hole. The end is responsible
for taking the defensive end out of the play. The fullback removes
the corner back, and the quarterback hits the defensive safety.

Prohibition
and Practicality
"The possession or use of alco-
holic beverages by students is for-
bidden."
Much discussion has been
heard recently about how many
students follow this command-
ment. And such discussion has
been slightly disturbing to those
who have looked at the situation
honestly. Last year's Drinking
Committee suggested that there
were about 150 "drinkers" on
campus. Many have termed this
estimate "conservative."
Besides the actual number of
drinkers is the disturbing fact
that a majority of Maryville's stu-
dents tolerate this insidious prac-
tice in their fellows. This fact has
tended to make the command-
ment unenforceable.
And there is a question — in
administrative as well as student
minds — as to whether strict en-
forofement woula be wise. One
discussion group at Student
Council's retreat discovered that
half of their number would be in
school somewhere else if the com-
mandment had been enforced. As-
suming that council members are
sensible students, with a sense of
civic and moral duty, one might
wonder at this contradiction of
the "law."
One of the most interesting nnd
perhaps most obvious conclusions
coming from Council's retreat
was the statement that "a major-
ity of Maryville students fail to
support" the commandment on
alcohol By support, council mem-
hers meant compliance on two
levels :
1 ) individual : many stu-
dents obviously cannot
support the commandment
because they drink.
2) community: most stu-
dents fail to police the
"law" in community not
because they necessarily
drink but because they
feel the college has over-
stepped her rights in the
statement of her regula-
tions.
In passing I'd like to point out
two facts which are apparent to
me:
1) Consumpion of alcohol is
not morally wrong in it-
self — it is the use one
makes of alcohol that
determines its morality.
This was a conclusion of
last year's Drinking Com-
mittee and is repeated in
the report frorii Council's
retreat.
2) A vast majority — very
close to 100% — of the
student body grant the

PROPHET
At a local drugstore one morning this week we heard, from an
older man to several obviously younger ones, "You'd better enjoy
your freedom while you can, because pretty soon you aren't going
to have any."
We thought, probably because we are female, that he was re-
ferring to "male freedom." Then there were a few words inaudible,
and then ". . . Maryville College . . ." and then someone said, "What
we need around here is some more Hke the John Birch Society. At
that point, being turned off, we tuned out.
And even having been raised a conservative East Tennessean
and an even more conservative Presbyterian, we couldn't believe it.
We couldn't quite believe the KKK either (the men didn't
mention thdn), but there they were on Sunday, competing with
the fall leaves and the Baltimore-Detroit game. They did . cause
quite a stir, regardless of behavior (we think Dr. Copeland was
a little free with the laurels).
There's something that causes us to disapprove immediately
of the KKK. But on Sunday they weren't even masked, and so what
could have been drama (for those of us who hunger for it) was
disappointing. We are glad that there was no trouble.
Let's see, today's a holiday. We fold our hands in reverent
gratitude to our MC fathers. We are not grateful for the added
half hours received Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. By
way of rumor, popular around here, we heard that the decision to
dock the credit was made only after a "fight." Verbal. We know why
it's being done. We just don't like it. Oh well (which is not our
usual attitude — only when we've worked ourselves into a corner in
an editorial and don't know any other way out).
And now, as a friend used to say, I gotta go out and scare up
a reader.

There are times in the affairs
of the world when men of a
single mind frustrate even the
patience of eternity.
The god of apathy reigned. He
wore a shabby cloak, a tarnished
crown, and he discounted the exis-
tence of all the other gods. To
his subjects nothing was import-
ant except nothing. Confusion
could not germinate for there was
not the soil of Concern. Hate
could not breed because it knew
not its partner Love. Lust had
been smothered in a pillow of
Lethargy. But do not think for
once that the town he ruled was
stagnant. Indeed it was merely
dormant.
"Fear not," said the voice, "for
I created you and your father be-
fore you and his father also. I
have loved you and led you to
this time."
The man fell to his knees.
"Behold, in a certain place my
people suffer in the bonds of
apathy. You must go there and
deliver them from this selfish
loud voice, "Come to me, for
your laziness is to perish. You
shall have compassion and con-
cern for one another. Bring your
empty hearts for I have love to
fill them abundantly."
At first only a small group of
men gathered, but as the words
continued to flow as from an un-
seen power, more and more of
the townspeople congealed around
him. When a very large group
was at hand, he paused. The
faces surrounding him wore the
blank stares of dead iTian. His
heart faltered for but a second
and then he cried, "You are
trapped men who have become
as caged animals, nay as blind
grass which must bend to the
whims of the wind. You are a
selfish and spineless people."
A young man in the midst re-
plied, "And you are a fool. What
do you know but a handful of
ancient sayings that do naught
but pound dust into our ears."
The crowd opened to let the
young man through. When he
reached the place where th*^ faith-
ful man stood he said, "Dust is
the issue of decay," and he spat
on the ground between them.
In a single wave the entire
town was upon the stranger. They
beat him with their fists and
clubbed him with their arms and
kicked him. They tore at his hair
and clothes. They pressed about
him long after he was dead. They
scratched and clawed him, and
when his body fell they tred on
it and pounded it so that nothing
remained but the powder of bones
and sinews
Then the people went back to
their houses.
In the heavens there was sil-
ence.
In the street a small qust of
wind whirled slowly — scattering
the dust of the earth and the
dust of a man with equal indif-
ference.

If style is making a difficult
task appear simple, the sparse
crowd which attended the per-
formance of the Nelson and Neal
piano duo witnessed music in the
finest style. With near-effortless-
ness and a high degree of unity
and feeling between the artists,
this Australian-American team re-
laxed and captivated the audience
with their interpretations of Men-
delssohn and Brahms.
One of the specialties of Nel-
son and Neal is Brahms, and
their program made use of the
composer's diversity. From waltz-
es and serenades to Hungarian
dances and the scintillating Vari-
aliens on a Theme by Haydn,
the somewhat lost art of four-
hand pianism was revived.
The opening Midsummer
Night's Dream of Mendelssohn
and the encore, Shostakovich's
Concertini and Run Run of Octa-
vio Pinto, were given no less
credit in performance.
It is unfortunate that more
people did not attend this first
Artists Series program, which
brought truly fine talent to the
campus. Such art is rarely in-
cluded in today's way of life.

The Highland Echo, October 31, 1964-3
Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor,
There are many things for
which we can be proud of Mary-
ville College. For quality edu-
cation at popular prices, it's hard
to beat anywhere. And, in the
area of human relations we are a
leader among southern colleges.
For these and other aspects of
the Maryville College program,
we owe our professors and ad-
ministrators a vote of confidence.
Yet, though we have come a
long way, there is still room for
progress ; and I think Mr. Thomas
Horst's letter to the editor points
to an area where our strides have
been perhaps not long enough
or perhaps in the wrong direc-
tion.
In his discussion of our an-
nounced purpose, our difficulties
lie gleaming. That is, the wav in
which to "produce Christian scho-
lars responsive to God, who are
intellectually and socially mature
individuals serving their fellow-
men." To me, our methods seem
insufficient and seem to stem
from a concept of man and the
universe which could graduate
truly Christian scholars only by
accident.
True, we must be bound in or-
der to be free; but there is a
danger in completely encasing
young people in a sheath of rules
and restrictions that tend to make
their decisions for them. In the
cold, cruel, chancy world, outside
the warm protective walls of
Maryville, the student must be
able to make his own decisions
and plot his own course. And the
extension of parental protection
by the college does not help him
prepare for the increased respon-
sibility of adulthood.
In answer to student pleas for
progress in this area all we hear

is "You pay your money and
take your chances" and "You
signed the pledge and knew what
you were getting into" which are
hardly legitimate reasons for
stagnation in an era of change.
The mere fact that no one for-
ced us to come to Maryville is
no excuse for a blanket refusal
to admit the fact of twentieth cen-
tury man.
Students mumble about specific
instances relating to the gene-
ral position taken by the college,
but failure to recognize the ad-
ministration as a body devoted to
the student's welfare, and the
fear of reprisal (either academic
or disciplinary) seem to have sil-
enced the voice of student public
opinion on these issues.
The faculty and administration
have a definite stance which they
have stated and have the courage
to defend, although I personally
feel that it is sometimes at vari-
ance with their announced pur-
pose, and it is up to the student
to make them aware of his feel-
ings and thoughts if he is to ex-
pect any action. We are dealing
with pe»^ple and in order to be
understood, we must understand.
In conclusion, let me say that
I think the Maryville announced
purpose is a noble one. But in
light of the thought and policy
employed to make this dream
a reality I think it is unrealistic.
This is a century of change and
it ought to be the aim of an aca-
demic institution to turn out
graduates ready to take their
places in the mainstream, imbued
with a realistic sense of Christ-
ian responsibility, and filled with
the spirit of Christian love. For
it is love that gave the early
church its dynamic strength, and
one learns to love only by being
loved, not by the edict of arbitr-
ary authority. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear Editor:
I have just received the College
bulletin noting the death of Coach
Honaker. He was my friend,
coach and one of the finest fellows
I've ever known. Thirty-two years
ago he came through South Tex-
as with his assistant. Bob Throw-
er, who was from my home
ton. They were on their way to
the Olympics in Los Angeles. That

THE. PIAT
by David Clinkman
The total effect of /. B. was expressed partly in the cry of
anguish on which Mary Gay Boettcher impaled the audience during
act two. And partly by the six hags. And partly by the sprig of
forsythia and the lantern which ended act three.
Miss Boettcher, as Sarah, the wife of Job, gave the best per-
formance that she has ever given upon the MC stage. Her trans-
formation of Sarah from the worried wife to the defeated woman
to the Elihu of Job XXXII & ff. was interestingly accompKshed
and was marred only by a somewhat whining inflection with which
^he infuses her sympathetic lines. But during her performace in the
hysterical scenes of act two she held the audience totally within the
palm of her hand.
Dale Schellenger captured all the hate and bitterness which
Nickles had against God and hurled it at him in constant salvos. Un-
fortunately, Mr. Schellenger has certain professional idiosyncrasies
in his walk, his facial expressions, and his carriage which reminded
me very much of John Proctor. In any case, the bitterness he sihowed
did much to cover this up. His opposite, Mr. Zuss, was played by
Dave King, who appeared to feel ill at ease in his part, except for
a few lines in act three, just after Nickles' defeat. As an actor,
though, Mr. King has matured since he played in Teahouse, last
year.
Among the more minor characters, Virginia Wells (Mrs. Mur-,
phy) stood out prominently. She played one of the six seething
wretches who scratched and clawed at David Evans during the central
portion of the play. Her lines were packed with hate, her projection
was powerful, and an odd accent here was easily overlooked. Rebec-
ca Smith (Miss Mabel) also did well in this respect. John Boretsky
often did admirably as the first Messenger, and Robert Shultz (who
was also stage manager, a student assistant, and a member of the
stage crew) conveyed well the part of a pious snob, who, steeped
in theological theory, was completely out of touch with the man
he was supposed to be comforting. This portrayal was so good that
it reminded me of several people I know.
Thomas Jones' direction and set designing, in the main, was
highly creditable, but allowing Zuss to sound the cymbal seemed
somewhat inappropriate, and the Christian quasi-stained glass window
also seemed out of place. His upstage backdrop, however, was used
very effectively, and his direction of the hags and (in general) the
hvsterical scenes was piercing.
But the evening unquestionably belonged to Mr. Evans. I have
seen him play several times (many of these opposite Miss Boettcher)
but never has he done so well as he did in this performance, and
only the contradictory table grace with which he opened his lines
detracted from an otherwise superlative performance. His per-
formances of similar characters in Look Homeward, Angel and The
Tempest were more than adequate, but as J.B. he played a man more
than twice his own age so convincingly that it was difficult to
believe that he was the same actor that I had seen before. Mr. Evans
will doubtless go down in the annals of the MC theatre as one of
the best actors the college has produced.
All the other actors did at least creditably in their parts.
Thomas Llewellyn's original music and Mr. Jones' amalgamation of
other musical sources was very effective. Mr. Evans' summation,
"We can never know!" served fittingly to end the evening with
the small flame of a simple lantern burning wisely in the middle of
a deserted stage.

As alumnists eagerly return to Maryvilie to see old friends and
teachers and to laugh at present students, they must certainly be
impressed with the constantly changing regulations.
In an effort to inform the alumnists of the magnitude of these
changes, the Impartial Observer, through much conscientious re-
search, has compiled this list of changes and the graduating class
which would be most impressed with them.

by Mike Moy«rt
Much is heard of the "apathy"
of today's college students. And
the accuracy of such a description
can be seen in the passivity of
the college student toward this
year's presidential race. Other
areas too — the Peace Corps, tho'
racial situation — which should
stimulate the student to thought
and action have left him mute,
or at least very quiet.
From Professor Nevitt San ford
of the Institute for the Study of
Human Relations comes a clear
statement and several attempts at
explanation. Despite the need to
generahze in an article of thi*
sort, Mr. Sanford provides somf:
thought provoking material.
He describes many students a->
almost fervently "apolitical ar,d
asocial." Unlike the student of
years past, who "showed soi^ial
concern by vehemently criticizir.2
existing institutions within socie-
ty, the new type (of student) re-
jects society in toto."
Several of the factors which
produced this altered outlook fol-
low. My apologies to Professor
Sanford for the editing:
College environment: "Here
a host of requirements and ex-
ams all too often induce ,the un-
dergraduate to "think small." lo
concentrate on clearing each hur-
die in the academic obstacle race.
rather than thinking widely and
imaginatively about the world
around him.
"If he resists the system, to
whom can he make complaint?
We professors frequently are in-
accessible to the student, and even
more frequently are content to
merely fill the student full of pro-
fessional know-how. At the same
time, we decry the absence of
creative enterprise among stu-
dents — as if the absence weren't
our fault."
Social factors: "When a col-
lege student looks at the vast im-
personal processes of our society
and humbly asks himself where
he can fit in, he is not simply
being a conformist. Perhaps he
is also being realistic. Perhaps he
sees that we live in a society
which organizes intelligence ever
more closely — a society where
opportunities for individual initi-
ative or for the exercise of talent
on one's own terms have actually
decreased."
The Cold War: "The climate
of the Cold War is one of rigidity,
a state in which people feel they
must not move lest something
snap. Students, at any rate, tend
to see present arrangements in

Linginfelter, Slagle Pace Scots' Victory
H. H. Linginfelter, playing for
the injured Benny Monroe, start-
ed his first game of the year and
directed the Maryville College
offense brilliantly to lead his
squad past a determined Guilford
team by a score of 19 to 17 in
a game played last week on Guil-
ford's field in North Carolina.
Linginfelter completed 9 of 11
passes for 190 yards and two
touchdowns. His outstanding per.
formance was not unexpected.
The feats of Little Ail-American
candidate Benny Monroe have
tended to obscure the fact that
Linginfelter is an outstanding
quarterback in his own right.
Monroe, who is nursing a bruised
knee, was available for action if
given the call. However, Mary-
ville coach Howard Tomlinson
•decided to give Monroe an extra
week of rest and placed the
quarterbacking responsibilities
on Linginfelter.
Slagle Scores Winning TD
All the heroics were not Lin-
ginfelter's, however. Senior full-
back Jeff Slagle earned a share
of the spotlight. As has happen-
ed frequently in recent weeks,
the Scots were forced to come
from behind to notch their vic-
tory. The North Carolina school
built up a 17 to 13 half time lead.
In the third quarter Slagle broke
loose on a 20 yard touchdown
jaunt that wiped out the Guilford
lead and provided the decisive
margin in the game.
Guilford scored early in the
first quarter. Scot halfback Ar-
chie Anderson fumbled the open-
ing kickoff and the Quakers re-
covered on approximately the 35
yard line. Quarterback Jimmy
Williams carried over from the
10 yard line for the touchdown.
Williams scored again in the sec-
ond quarter. This time he went
over from the three yard line.
Hal Vanderson rounded out the
Guilford scoring by adding two
extra points and a 28 yard field
goal.
Defense Hilts Guilford
Maryville's touchdowns in the
first half were the results of the
passing ability of H. H. Lingin-
felter. In the first quarter, Lin-
ginfelter hit speedy Mike Dalton
with a 30 yard touchdown pass.
Archie Anderson was the target
of Linginfelter's second scoring
pass. Ilie play covered 35 yards.
This concluded the scoring for
the first half and set the stage
for Slagle's second half heroics.

The winner of the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award in the game against Guilford
was H. H. Linginfelter. The senior quarterback took over the reins of the
team during the injury caused absence of Benny Monroe. Linginfelter
called a fine tactical game and completed 9 of 1 1 passes for two touch-
downs.
After Slagle's touchdown dash
in the third quarter, the Quakers
tried desperately to get close en-
ough to kick a field goal. In the
fourth quarter Vantland attempt-
ed a 38 yarder, but it fell far
short. Late in the closing minutes
of the game, the Scots almost
scored a clinching touchdown.
Deep in their own territory, the
Quakers failed to gain the neces-
sary yardage on a fourth down
situation and were forced *o re-
linquish the ball to the Scota on
the 8 yard line. However, the
Highlanders were unable to score,
and the defensive team was
forced to hold off one final effort
on the part of Guilford.
McCianahan Injured
The victory was Maryville's
fifth straight win this season.
However, the Scots suffered an
important loss in the game. Half-
back Roland McCianahan, the
Scots' leading ground gainer, re-
ceived a broken leg while he was
returning a kickoff. The injury
will prevent the hard-nosed half-
back from seeing any more action
thi^ season. Because he is a sen-
ior, the Guilford game marked
the close of his collegiate career.
In honor of his contributions to
the squad this season, his team-
mates awarded him the game ball.

Maryville Loses in Soooer;
St. Bernard Triumphs 3-2
The Maryville College soccer team suffered its third coneecutive
defeat last Wednesday when it was beaten 3 to 2 by St. Bernard
College in Alabama.
The game was divided into two distinct periods. The first half,
and the first quarter in particular, was marked by a wild outbreak
of goals that saw the lead see-saw back and forth four times. The
second half of the contest was a defensive struggle in which neither
team could collect a goal.

two starting wings from the 1963
squad are both back. They are
Phil Jerome and Sonny Hughes.
Hughes holds down the right wing

his strong foot. Weather shooting
for the goal or passing the ball in
front of the goal mouth, Hughes
has much power. On the left wing
is Phil Jerome, a three year veter-
an. In the past Jerome has been
known for his speed and endur-
ance. However, this year Jerome
is overweight and out of condit-
ion. A leg injury early in the pre-
season practice schedule has pre-
vented the senior wing from
reaching his previous form. Push-

the Scots go down to humiliating
defeat. Against St. Bernard, how-
ever, the Highlanders were never
more than a goal away from the
lead and were battling for a tie
when the final gun sounded.
A second cause for optimism
among the Scot team was the fact
that their good showing was
made against a team which has
not been beaten this year. Fur-
thermore, the Maryville team en-

Football: Defensive Statistics
Few football fans are aware that statistics on the play of the in-
dividual members of the defensive unit are kept. The average foot-
ball fan is accustomed to reading reports of the rushing and passing
yardage gained by the halfbacks, quarterbacks, ends, and fullbacks.
He rarely sees defensive statistics, however. At Maryville records on
the play of the members of the defensive team, compiled from the
films of the game, are divided into two categories: initial contacts
and secondary contacts made by pursuit.
The chart below shows the defensive statistics of the Scots in
their games against Centre, Georgetown, and Emor)' & Henry. Two
points are awarded for initial contact and one is granted for second-
ary tackling by pursuit.
On this basis Mike White is Maryville's leading defensive player
after the first three contests. White's leading total of 66 points was
greatly enhanced during the game with Emory & Henry when he
combined 9 initial contacts with II pursuit tackles for 29 points.
Although nothing can detract from the fact that White is an excellent
defensive back, it must be admitted that his position as safety offers
him the opportunity as well as the responsibility for many tackles.
Among fht linemen co-captain Clinf Abbott is the leader with 56
points. Behind Abbott are two linebackers, defensive captain Don Story and
Ray Eaton. The linebacking position is another slot that provides the op-
portunity for tackles.
However, it is true that statistics do not always tell the whole
truth, especially in the case of a standout defensive lineman. The
opposition, realizing the ability of the man, will tend to run their
plays away from his area.
The Maryville soccer team lacks
the resources that many of their
opponents boast. Futhermore, the
Scots field a primarily American
roster while many of the teams
they meet have a primarily for-
eign personnel. The success that
Maryville has enjoyed in the past,
although limited, has been due to
a strong defensive unit and a de-
termined line that scores through
desire rather than finese. This
year, the defense is as weak as it
has been in the past four seasons.
The line, although strengthened,
still relies primarily on power. If
the Scots hope to have a successful
season, the line is going to have to
become a more potent force and
the fullbacks and defense must be-
come a much more reliable and
consistent unit.

college the right to ban
alcohol on the Maryville
campus.
With the danger of arriving at
too simple a conclusion, I'd like
to point out that the two facts
above suggest a logical solution:
legalized drinking, off campus,
for students who meet Tennessee's
minimum age requirements.
There is a question as to wheth-
er students would support even
this altered situation. The con-
venience of drinking in your
room and the number of under-
age drinkers would hamper stu-
dent support. But an alteration
legalizing off campus beer would
give student organizations a bit
sounder basis. Your organs of
student government would not be
crliarged with support of a prin-
ciple in which they do not be-
lieve, but would have the respon-
sibility of keeping in our dorms
an atmosphere conductive to
study and I or sleep. There's quite
a difference here.
While we are waiting on this
amended commandment, might I
offer a few ideas on present en-
forcement. In the first place, I
suggest that the consumption of
alcohol is considered wrong in
itself in many areas of Anderson
Hall. This assumption of moral
guilt seems to be a numerical fact
on Discipline Committee where
demerits are meted out not for
degrees of disturbance or intoxi-
cation, but simply tor consum-
ption. Students, almost without
exception, fail to see the issue
quite as clearly. I believe, as
many students do, that the evil
of al{;ohol for Maryville is to be
f(>und in the disruption of acade-
mics, either for the individual in-
volved or for the community. Un-
til we change our attitude here,
\^e will continue to sacrifice our
educational aims for those of a
temperance union. I wonder
which is the most realistic, and
most important.

all exterminated.
"One does not hear much in-
. tellectual discussion on campus
for the simple reason that there
is not very much to discuss. For
the time being, we are in the
cultural and intellectual doldrums.
This I would set down as a ma-
jor source of the current student
lethargy. Not only are they not
inspired by the scholarship in
which their teachers willy-nilly
participate; they are put to sleep
by it."
It is an arduous path from
stagnancy to creativity, from apat-
hy to involvement — a path
tragically made more difficult by
much of our educational process.
Man today seems strangely

his culture.

Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee, November 7, '1964
No. 6
by
Martha
Cook
October 30, 1964
Overheard as a faculty member
came out of the Founders Day
service: "Senator Gore has been
outdone." Everyone who has
spoken on this campus in several
years may have been outdone.
Not since the Class of '65 has
been here has a speaker so strong-
ly affected students, staff, faculty,
and administration. It seemed as
if W. Clement Stone and Mary-
ville College stood at opposite
ends, partly in principle and
partly in application. And it was
Founders Day.
No one would deny Mr. Stone
the right to speak about what he
believes. But it is questionable
whether what Mr. Stone believes
is a suitable topic for an acade-
mic community, particularly un-
der these conditions. He would
have been suitable for Lecture
Series. Would Richard Armour
have been suitable for Founders
Day?
The fault lay not with Mr.
Stone, but with the persons who
arranged for him to speak to such
a captive audience.
One -tenth MC
students sign for
reading course
Enrolled in the course for read-
ing improvement, taught by
Robert Rose of The Reading
Laboratories, Inc., Philadelphia,
New York, and Princeton, are 83
students or ten per cent of the
Maryville College student body.
This percentage is far higher
than the one to two per cent in
other schools where Mr. Rose has
worked.
Four faculty members, includ-
ing the Dean of Men, and fifteen
Alcoa executives have also joined
the endeavor to improve their
reading.
The students taking the read-
ing tests scored well above the
national norm for college fresh-
men for the test.
The reading program, a six
weeks, three days a week course
in developmental reading is con-
ducted by Robert Rose. Mr. Rose
graduated from Brown Univer-
sity and attended Princeton
Seminary, Dallas Seminary, and
S.M.U. He holds an M.A. degree
and was active in the ministry
for six years.
Three new buildings planned
for near future of oampus
Maryville College is undertaking three major buildng projects:
two dormitories, a science building, and a student center, as part of
the Sesquicentennial Development program, to be completed in 1969.
In a speech at the All Scots banquet on Friday evening, October
30, Dr. Joseph J. Copeland stated that plans are to have the new
dormitories within a year, the science building within two, and the
student center within three.
Above is shown the first place winner in the float competition of
Homecoming. The float, constructed by Kappa Phi and Chi Beta, had the
theme, "it's in the bag." The driver is Jerry Kerns.
The newspaper-man is, more than
most men, a double personality; and
his person feels best satisfied in its
double instincts when writing in one
sense and thinking in another.

MG intensifies
campaign for Jan.
goal of $920,000
Maryville College, still $272,
671 short of a $920,000 goal
which must be reached by Jan.
1, is intensifying Development
Fund Campaign efforts.
David W. Proffitt, chairman of
the campaign, reported a total of
$647,329 to the Campaign Cabi-
net and the college Board of
Directors as of Oct. 10.
The pledge total includes half
of the $500,000 given by Algie
Sutton of Greenville, S. C. This
amount becomes a firm commit-
ment only if the total goal is met
by the Jan. 1 deadline.
Non-alumni give $67,000
Of the total amount pledged,
alumni of the college, including
alumni members of the Board of
Directors and the faculty and
staff, have pledged $492,112.
Business firms, corporations, and
related foundations have pledged
$63,935 ; individual churches,
$3,800; individuals who are not
alumni, $67,061.38; and from
miscellaneous sources has come
$20,100. Direct contact through
churches was not a part of this
campaign effort, thus accounting
for the small figure in this cate-

Orchestra to play
Fri. p.in. in theatre
The Maryville College-Com-
munity Orchestra will play in a
concert Friday evening, JNovem-
ber 13, at 8:15 p.m. in the
theatre.
Music on the program includes
the Overture, Cost Fan Tultc by
Mozart, English Folk Song Suite
by Vaughn Williams, Toccata by
Frescobaldi, Procession of the
Sardar by Ippolitov-lvanow, and
selections from Can Can by Cole
Porter.
Tliere are approximately forty
members of the orchestra, which
is conducted by John A. Roberts.
Phi, Beta place
first in floats
Winners of the 1964 Home-
coming float competition were
the brother-sister societies Kappa
Phi and Chi Beta. The float had
the theme "It's in the bag," and
carried a large Scottie dog with
bagpipes on its back. Recorded
bagpipe music was played.
Second place winners were
Alpha Sigma and Theta Epsilon.
Their float, pulled by a tractor
decorated as a train, was a large
Scottie dog. The theme was
"Steaming to victory."
Placing third was the sopho-
more class, with the theme
"Thumbs up." The float carried
a football player with his thumbs
up, kicking a Millsaps player
over the goal posts.
Worlds of fine thinking lie buried
in that vast abyss (newspapers),
never to be disentombed or restored
to human admiration.

FA tour to be
during vacation
The department of fine arts
at Maryville College is sponsor-
ing a fine arts tour in New York
City of art galleries, buildings
of distinctive architectural de-
sign, and performing arts, includ-
ing concerts, ballets, musicals,
and plays.
May have chartered but
The tour is scheduled to begin
Wednesday, December 30, con-
tinuing through Sunday, January
3, traveling back to Maryville in
time for the opening of school on
January 5.
By group arrangements in ad-
vance, prices will be greatly re-
duced. Reservations for hotel ac-
commodations at the Hotel Paris
at the rate of $4.25 per night per
person and ticket reservations for
performances will be arranged
by the department.
Transportation to and from the
Hotel Paris, meals, and other
expenses will be handled by each
person. If there are sufficient
reservations, a chartered bus or
plane may be arranged for.
$15 deposit required
The estimated cost of the tour
minus transportation is $60.
A $15 deposit with an applica-
tion form properly signed must
be in the fine arts office by noon,
November 24. Students must
have their parents' signature on
the application. A request to have
the application mailed to thenri
may be made at the fine arts
Croup living planned
Taylor, Lieberfield, and Held-
man, a professional consulting
firm, is advising as to the build-
ing of the dormitories. The
philosophy of housing to be em-
ployed is group living, whereby
groups of 12 or 13 students
would live together, with three
or four groups to a floor.
This would mean that about
50 students on a floor would
share bath facilities, lounges, and
study rooms. In the freshman
dorm, the thirteenth person
would probably be an upperclass
counselor.
May add to New Dorm
Additional space is needed for
the students living off campus in
auxiliary houses, for the project-
ed enrollment next year, and for
the replacement of Baldwin Hall,
expected to take place within the
next three years. Therefore,
about 200 spaces for women and
100 to 165 are needed for men.
The critical factor in dormi-
tory construction is the "cost per
bed." Financing can take place
either through a Federal govern-
ment loan, as with the New
Dorm, or with private financing
and gift contributions. There may
be a "T" shaped wing added to
the New Dorm, which would pro-
vide low per bed cost.

2-The Highland Echo, November 7, 1964
Lip service
Politics has been talked a lot lately. We listen with some less
interest than we did four years ago.
One thing we heard which caused our ears to perk and our
pens to come from our pockets (and the waitress had to give us
a new check). A man next to us said, "If I ever become head of
this country, people will eat banana pudding, and like it." Sounds
like Johnson-Humphrey. Let us all resolve to have such an attitude.
And don't ever let anyone tell you that our favorite drugstore doesn't
swing.

Beta Notes
by Anne Smith
Well gang, it took a lot of
P. M. A. and hard work, but we
did it. After winning the float
contest we are well on the road
to success, arid s^hould never fail!
A number of changes have
been made this year in Chi Beta.
One of the first acts of business
was to unofficially shorten our
name to Beta. We did this es-
pecially for the benefit of the
freshmen who were a little con-
fused about what to call us.
Also under consideration is the
possibility of a new song for
Beta. One suggestion has been
made by Fran Lantz, and if any-
one else has a suggestion, we will
be glad to consider it.

latest in contemporary student
opinion, art forms, as well as
contemporary theology.
Intercollegian is published by
the YWCA and YMCA, and is a

ATTENTION!
by Nancy M. White
Something new has been added
to the recreation program at
Maryville College. The op-
portunity to check out equipment
from the physical education de-
partment between the hours of
3:30 and 5:30 every afternoon
will certainly be beneficial to all
students, men and women, as well
as the faculty.
As with any other luxury at
Maryville College there are cer-
tain stipulations about checking
out the equipment. The first is
that the equipment can be check-
ed out at 3:30 but must be re-
turned before 5 :30 the same day.
No equipment may be checked
out for overnight use, but may
be checked out on Friday for
use over the weekend. If any
equipment is returned after 5:30
on weekdays and after 9:00 on
Monday mornings a fee of $.50
will be charged.
The various equipment that
can be checked out is fencing
foils, golf clubs, badminton
rackets, basketballs, volleyballs,
soccer balls, softballs and bats
and field hockey sticks.
The purpose of this program
is to make better use of all th?
equipment in the physical educa-
tion department at Maryville
College.
linai iiin
by Mary Cay Boettcher
Like all groups niched in a
bigger society, the college com-
munity has predictably formu-
lated its own form of language.
We find evidences of this in such
words as: "relate effectively" (to
one's: a. environment, b. study-
ing, c. girl, etc.), "communica-
tion," "ethnic," "involvment'|
(and lack of same), "esoteric,"
"identify."
From within the framework of
this comforting wall of termi-
nology we seem to find it dif-
ficult to recognize that other and
similar groups have yet a dif-
ferent strata of words. So it is
that the somewhat vague and
pointless efficiency of the ab-
breviated phrase (PSI) so often
used in the world of business
sounded to us dated and a bit
long-hemmed. Other words which
are, we feel, perfectly good words
somehow are not at all an inte-
gral part of our language . . .
they sound strange and faintly
musty when used. Such a word is
solitude.
There is an interesting lack of
solitude, in the accepted sense of
the word, on our campus. Since
we are certainly not allowed the
escape of anonymity, again in
the accepted sense, that a large
university complex imposes, it
becomes a matter as simple as
there being no way, within the
confines of the existing order,
to get away from all these people.
Invasion of privacy is hardly a
phrase but, rather, a disgruntled
way of life. And certainly, to
further hackney a phrase, every-
body wants to be alone some-
time. But the equating of solitude
with the absence of people is to
label it, if you'll pardon me, non-
involvement. Which it is not.
For solitude is a form of in-
volvement. The most familiar ex-
ample, whether the best or not,
of the solitary person is Thoreau.
And Thoreau didn't, by his act
of self-impose3 isolation, either
renounce his responsibilities as
a member of society or take a
vacation from thought. His form
of involvement took a most ac-
tive form while he spent a stub-
born period in the local hoose-
gow protesting a tax. For the so-
litude that Thoreau practiced al-
lowed his action, when it came,
to be natural, that is, the result
of thoug'ht.
For solitude is, really, a state
of mind. A state which needs no
externals for impetus. But rather
turns inward upon itself to watch,
and listen. And when a tangible
WlreACjiMTHE hgSK IS THE
form of involvement comes, it
comes, not simply for the sake of
involvement, which is betraying
the real nature of the term, but
as a result of a commitment to
oneself, not in committee form.
Solitude, in this sense, seldom
allows involvement for involve-
ment's sake . . . participation is
no criterion of concern or the
lack of it in many cases. So, per-
haps, before we fall into the er-
ror of making non-involvement
the enemy we could consider the
possibility that, as before, our
definitions are too narrow. Per-
haps, after all, we need a Walden
Pond to show us the futility of
thoughtless participation and to
help us understand the im-
maturity of classifying possible
forms of involvement by decid-
ing what i«* adequate concern,
with a clear eye and an unyield-
ing hand . . . using of course,
our own standards.

ment.
Right now we are finishing up
soccer. The next sport is volley-
ball. On November l2 all people
interested in playing volleyball
will sign up in the intramural
gymnasium at 3:30 or 4:30; there
will be someone there to help you
with the basic skills, to practice
some drills, and to learn the
rules. At 4:30 there will be a
clinic for the timers, scorers, and
refereees, so come out and get
extra ^-joints for Women's "M"
Club.
Under the new system there are
no official practices or scrim-

and Heldman of recommenda-
tions for the science building.
The major question is whether
to rehabilitate Fayerweather Hall
for use in addition to the new
building, or to house all the
sciences in the new building and
use Fayerweather for other pur-
poses.
The money for the science
building is already available. As
soon as the report is received, a
decision reached, and the blue-
prints drawn, construction can
begin.

The new student center is being
planned in the light of the re-
commendations of a student-
faculty committee of a year or so
ago. This building may provijde
new dining facilities, in which
case the first floor of Pearsons
can be used for lounges and
rooms. The student center will
house the bookstore, post office,
student body office, Chilhowean
office. Echo office, lounge, snack
bar, and town student lounge.
If all the projected buildings
can be put into the same con-
tract, costs can be reduced.

FOUR ALMA MATERS SEEN
by Sue Haldeman
When contemplating the age-old Maryville traditions, did you
ever think of our "Alma Mater" and how it originated? Probably
not . . . but it is quite an interesting story. Actually, there are four
college songs. Our present alma mater, however, is the oldest and,
since its composition in 1899, has been the most popular. The words
were written by alumnus and professor of biology John W. Ritchie,
and were set to music by piano and organ teacher, Leila Perine.
Miss Nancy Hunter, who recently retired from her position as
President Copeland's secretary, remembers a conversation with Miss
Perine once when the musician returned for a visit. Miss Perine told
her that she had composed the tune for a tenor member of a male
quartet. This young man wanted a tune that would compliment his
vocal range. Miss Perine obligingly adapted the lenor part of Cornell
University's alma mater, "Where Cayuga's Waters," as the melody
of her tune.
According to Dr. Wilson's A Century of Maryville College, an-
other song, "Dear Old Maryville," by Professor E. W. Hall, in-
structor of vocal and band music from 1905 to 1914, was very
popular. The following is the first stanza and chorus of the three
stanza song:
Near Chilhowee's mountain blue.
Stands our Alma Mater true.
Dear old Maryville, to thee we lift our song.
'Neath thy Cedar grove so fair,
We shall breathe the mountain air.
While with merry hearts the chorus we prolong.
Chorus: Sing we a song of our dear college home.
Fondly we love thee still,
And wherever we may be.
Fond mem'ry turns to thee,
Our Alma Mater, dear old Maryville.
A third tribute to Maryville was written by Rev. George P.
Beard to the tune of "Maryland, My Maryland." Space does not
permit the quoting of all the patriotic lines, but here are those of the
last verse:
O Mother dear, we love thee still.
Maryville! our Maryville!
Our home, sweet home is College Hill,
Maryville! our Maryville!
Within thy halls we linger long.
And greet thee with a grateful song,
Our love, our life, to thee belong,
Maryville! our Maryville!
Maryville's final musical glorification was composed in 1936
by John W. Ritchie, who was moved a second time to honor his alma
mater while returning home after receiving an honorary degree of
Doctor of Humane Letters.
Having resigned his position as professor of biology in 1901,
Mr. Ritchie had organized courses in biology in the Philippines,
had developed the department of biology at William and Mary
College where he taught, had written text books in physiology and
hygiene (being called by one leader "the father and founder of
modern health education in the schools"), and was at the time of
the degree, science editor for the World Book Company.
The lines which he wrote are set to the music of Mendelssohn,
better known as the tune of the hymn, "Still, Still With Thee." The
first verse follows:
Firm, firm she stands, her sacred walls uplifting,
Firm in our hearts, firm on her ancient hill;
Firm through the years, unchanged amidst the
changing,
Firm, firm she stands, our loved Maryville.
When we read these last three over-sentimental songs of praise,
I think we can all agree that for once the oldest in our tradition
is definitely the best.
All successful newspapers are
ceaselessly querulous and bellicose.
They never defend anyone or any*
thing if they can help it; if the job
Is forced upon them, they tackle it
by denouncing someone or some-
thing else.

Injury Ends Collegiate
Career of McClanahan
by Phil Jerome
Two weeks ago in the football
game against Guilford College,
Maryville's star halfback Roland
McClanahan suffered a broken
leg. The injury, a serious one,
will keep the 145 pound halfback
out for the rest of the season.
Because he is a senior and has
already used his four years of
eligibility, the Guilford game was
probably the last of McClana-
han's career.
Deserves Special Recognitian
McClanahan was a major factor
in the success of the team this
year. Statistically he was the
team's leading ground gainer.
However, his value to the squad
cannot be expressed with numeri-
cal representations. This article is
being written because some of
McClanahan's teammates felt that
he deserved some sort of special
recognition for his achievements.
Instead of writing the article
myself, I turned to three of the
people who were closely related
to McClanahan: Herman Ram-
sey, a junior quarterback and
probable successor to Benny
Monroe and H. H. Linginfelter;
Clint Abbott, co-captain and
starting guard; and Howard
Tomlinson, the coach of the team.
Dependable on Third Down
Herman Ramsey: "You can't
lose a player and say you won't
be hurt. He's one of the strongest
runners for his size that I have
ever seen. He's also one of the
best competitors I've ever seen.
He's dependable. Whenever you
need two yards for a first down,
he'd get it for you. You always
depended on Roland for the first
down."
Abbott Commentt
Clint Abbott: "I've played
with Roland for all my life. He's
the toughest, strongest 150 pound
back I've ever played with or
against. You can always count
on him for the big play. He'll
always come thrcjgh for you.
When you're blocking for him,
you don't have to make as big a
hole. He's small and quick and
can get through a small hole. A
lot of the time all you have to do
is get in a man's face so he can't
see and Roland will be by him
before he has a chance to make
the tackle."
Strong Broken Field Runner
Howard Tomlinson: "He's a
fine football player. It takes a lot
of heart to play at 145. He works
hard, has good speed. He's smart.
He has the ability to use his speed
at the right time and make use
of his blockers. His strength is
as a broken field runner. He has
a lot of natural ability. He has
guts. We were real fortunate to
have him. He's one of the finest
offensive backs we're ever had."
Vols Top Scots in Soccer, 4-1
The University of Tennessee
Soccer Tllub handed the Mary-
ville College team their fourth
consecutive setback of the season
as they kicked their way to a 4
to 1 victory in the Scots' Home-
coming game last Friday.
The defeat was a hitter one
for the Scots who had hopes of
earning their first win before
the Homecoming crowd. Their
hopes were based on a pre-season
triumph over UT in a scrimmage
game.
Vols Score First
The Vols and the Highlanders
battled on almost even terms
throughout most of the first half.
The Maryville squad held an edge
in play, having many strong bids
for goals. However, it was the
Volunteers who scored first. With
no more than five seconds left
in the half, Alex Sozonoff drib-
bled to the right of the Maryville
goal and sent a shot in front of
the nets that curved into the far
left hand corner of the goal at
the last second.
Blackwood Scores for Scots
The Scots came out strong at
the start of the second half and
knotted the score almost im-
mediately. Bill Blackwood out-
raced the UT defenders to a Billy
Evaul pass and blasted the ball
into the net. Unfortunately Black-
wood's goal ended Maryville's
scoring for the day. UT, on the
olher hand, scored three more
times with Steve Nagwena, Conni
Frederickson, and Carlos Rojas
getting the goals. The game end-
ed with the Volunteers in charge
of a strong 4 to 1 lead.
Although the Scots went down
to defeat, some notable per-
formances were produced. Cen-
ter halfback and co-captain
Red Prudhon showed some of his
old luster in playing his finest
game of the season. Another per-
son doing a fine job was Adam
Dale. Dale, playing goalie for
the first time, did a fine job in
lepulsing the Volunteer attacks.
Dave Parrish and Harry Repsher
also played well.
Scots Win Sixth Straight
A determined Millsaps College
football team threw a scare into
the heavily favored forces of
Maryville College in the Scots'
Homecoming game last Saturday.
However, when the game was
over, the Highlanders had notch-
ed their eleventh consecutive vic-
tory and had boosted their sea-
son's record to 6-0 with a 21 to
12 triumph over the Majors.
Monroe Scores Twice
As has been true in many of the
games thioughout the season, it was
Little Ail-American candidate Benny
Monroe who spelled the difference.
Monroe had a major hand in each of
Maryville's touchdowns, passing for
one and running for two more.
Dalton Snares T.D. Aerial
The experts had established
Maryville as pre-game favorites
by more than three touchdowns.
In the first quarter, it looked as
if they were right. Maryville took
the ball and moved down the
field toward the end zone. On
the scoring play, Monroe, faced
with a fourth down situation,
calmly stepped back and fired
thirteen yards to Mike Dalton
in the end zone who made a
beautiful reception directly un-
derneath the goal posts.
However, after yielding the
initial touchdown, the Millsaps'
defense stiffened and shut out
the Maryville offense for the re-
mainder of the half.
Majors Block Kick
In the second quarter the
Majors scored a touchdown to
bring them within one point of
the Highlanders. The score was
a result of a blocked kick. Line-
m a n Mark Riemann broke
through to block Mike White's
punt, and guard Richard Warren
recovered the loose ball in the
end zone. The extra point at-
tempt was wide, and Maryville
had a 7 to 6 lead when the gun
sounded to end the first half.
AMOS ALONZO STACC AWARD WINNER: Mike White, defensive
safety, was awarded the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award for his play against
Millsaps College. White was a major factor in the strong Maryville defense,
moving up from his halfback post time after time to halt the Majors'
halfbacks.
Monroe Scores from the One
In the second half, the High-
landers struck for two touch-
downs to cement the victory. Both
scores were made by Benny Mon-
roe. In the third quarter Monroe
threw to Mike Dalton at the eight
yard line. Hal Shultz carried to
the one yard line on two bursts
into the line, and Monroe carried
the ball over from there. A low
pass from center permitted the
Majors to stop the extra point
attempt.
Monroe Speeds 55 Yards
In the fourth quarter Monroe
scored again. Finding a weakness
on the left side of the Millsaps
line, the senior quarterback call-
ed for a plunge into the middle
of the line to set up the play.
On the iiext call he swept around
end on the quarterback option
play and galloped 55 yards for
the touchdown. Monroe added a
two point conversion to run his
total for the game to 14.
The Majors added a final
touchdown in the fourth quarter
when Jerry Drane passed to Phil
Cranston in the end zone. How-
ever, the touchdown came with
the game well out of reach of
the Majors.
White Stands Out
Although Monroe was the of-
fensive hero, the defense could
boast of a bigger hero in Mike
White. White, who is an excellent
safety back played an outstand-
ing game, throwing his 135
pounds time and again into the
path of oncoming Millsaps run-
ners.
Mar Hill Next Opponent

Although the title may belie
the fact, my purpose and intent
here is at least reasonably seri-
ous. Beware any delusions of
humor: laugh very carefully.
In recent weeks I've grown
increasingly disturbed with cer-
tain factors of our attitude to-
ward student government. There
has been a growing tendency to
regard our organization as a
mutual suicide pact. Too quickly
we have noted opposition from
the administration: too easily we
have written off the year as a
total loss.
Antagonistic and bitter would
seem to sum up our attitude. All
this has been evidenced recently
in pursuits literary, septic, and
otherwise. I've been as guilty
as any.
And why shouldn't the faculty
and administration view our acti-
vities with alarm? We've hardly
given them any other choice.
We've let our preoccupation and
dissatisfaction with certain prob-
lem areas warp our entire out-
look. And our protests have been
strong — and, as noted, odorifer-
ous.
Lest too soon the clarion call
of Faculty Fink be directed my
way, let me restate my position.
Now I didn't appreciate those
three demerits, and I still don't
appreciate them. There are rules
and traditions of Maryville Col-
lege with which I heartily dis-
agree. But — and I sincerely hope
this won't come as too much of
a surprise to certain offices of
Anderson and elsewhere — I do
like Maryville College. I believe
in the type of education offered
here. And, it being a Senior priv-
ilege to reminisce, if I had it to
do all over again, I'd still be
right here.
I hope the preceding hasn't
choked you up too much. If the
person next to you is also read-
ing this column, help each other
brush away the tears, and we'U
continue.
I suspect, and talking with
many students has only strength-
ened the suspicion, that most of
the student body would agree
with the above position. We have
our complaints, and there is no
reason why they shouldn't Le
heard. But such dissatisfaction is
only a part of the picture, and a
relatively small part at that. Our
complaints do need to be ex-
plored: we do not need to have

An abstract ballet entitled "De-
lusion," the work of Dr. Harry
Harter, Fine Arts Department
Chairman, and Cheryl VanMetre
of the VanMetre School of Dance
in Maryville, will be performed
Tuesday, November 17, at 8 p.m.
in the Knoxville Civic Audi-
torium. Music will be by the
Knoxville Symphony Orchestra
with Mr. and Mrs. Victor Schoen
playing the piano parts.
Both musician and dancer are
seeking to communicate ideas
through music and bodily motion
in the construction of this kind
of ballet. Dr. Harter emphasized.
Musically, the work is in the
contemporary idiom "not dif-
ficult to listen to," and uses some
ja^z concepts. It is highly rhyth-
mical and melodic in many
places.
Miss VanMetre and her dance
troupe have worked out the intri-
cate choreography to go with Dr.
Harter's composition. The dance
complements and reinforces the
musical expression.
Work on the ballet began in
August, 1963, and it was first
performed in Mav of this year

have been assigned box numbers.
The post office box area will
be open daily from 6 a.m. to

2-The Highland Echo, November 14. 1964
Lip service
We here at Maryville seem to be afraid to talk about what we
are thinking. At least, we've noticed, we fail to talk with the right
people about certain subjects.
There is no one here inhuman. We are all at least reasonably
intelligent. The implementation of communication is often — per-
haps consistently — difficult. But there are few here who either con-
siously or unconsciously refuse to listen. And there are several here
who want to be consulted. We speak of both students and administra-
tion and faculty (we wish, for once, to speak of the college family).
We do not, as a newspaper, want to function as a medium for
students to sound off. This has never been our intention.
We do mean to serve as a medium for expressing widely the
ideas of student government officers in "Fort Mudge." And by
means of letters to the editor, or another column, we are able to
function as such for anyone else.
We can't apologize for what is said in the Echo. Whether it is
irrelevant in the minds of some, making light of serious matters
in the minds of some, or just plain boring in the minds of some.
None of it is done with ill intent.
"Don't be afraid of controversy. It is the stuff of freedom
— and it can have many a happy ending. There is no way to
believe in freedom of speech and press and religion, and in
the two-parly system, and, at the same time, avoid issues."

Extremism by Harry and Bonar

November 6, 1964
Last s p r i n s: an interesting
phenomenon took place on the
l^Tarvville Collf»e campus. In an
election that admittedly was lack-
in*; in certain aspects of enthusi-
asm, the two nominees for the of-
fice of student body president
were defeated by a "write-in
candidate."
I was one of these nominees. I
have heretofore been reluctant to
put into writing my feelings on
student government in general,
and in particular this year's stu-
dent government, for fear of cer-
tain parties thinking my ideas
were a bitter reprisal of my de-
feat.
The following ideas are my
personal thinking and are pre-
sented not as a defeated candid-
ate or a student council member,
but rather as a member of the
student body of Maryville College.
I was one of several students
receiving three demerits last
spring for what appeared to me
at the time, and £till does, to have
been a "mere springtime prank."
I do not feel that three demerits
should have been given for this
offense. I also feel that any men-
tion of an unauthorized campus
organization having any connect-
ion with this "springtime prank"
should not be registered as stu-
dent council opinion.
The Student Council be a re-
presentative body and voice the
opinion of the majority of stu-
dents. I do not feel the council
should be used to promote the
ideas of a small minority. If any
organization is to be successful,
I feel that it must work as a unit
to promote the best interests of
its members.
I have worked as a student
council member on various pro-
jects which are well known to
most of the students at Maryville,
namely cars on campus and off
campus drinking. I have worked
on these projects, not for the rea-
son that I, as an individual,
agreed with them; but as an
elected representative of the stu-
dent body, it was and is my res-
ponsibility to voice the majority
student opmion.
The student body should use
its student council to register
opinion. If the majority of the
students on this campus do not
want the two programs mentioned
above, the student council should
be made aware of this fact and
not continue to promote these pro-
grams on the premise that the
programs represent the thinking
of the majority of the students.
We cannot, however, place the
entire blame on student council.
We as students have failed, I feel,
to take an active part in student
government. We have not used
the representatives that we elected
to voice our opinion.
If we as students care enough
to have a student government, we
should become involved and be-
come interested in what is being
proposed in student council and
decide if this, as a student body,
is what we want.
If the student government is
to function as it should, it should
not voice the opinion of the
minority. We as students should
be interested enough to make
sure that the minority does not
"rule."

our complaint? so becloud our
outlook that all constuclive ef-
fort is brought to a halt. Tliere
will always be administrative de-
cisions unapj)reciated by the stu-
dent body, and not all the actions
of the students will be viewed
with favor by the powers that
be.
Perhaps this is a necessary
state of affairs. Vm not at all
sure that it's an undesirable situa-
tion. But we. as a student govern-
ment, must carefully examine our
own level of maturity. If the
above does, as I feel, represent
student opinion, then Student
Council must reflect that opinion.
I think it's time that our ven-
detta with Anderson be brought
to a halt. Student government
can accomplish much for tl.is
campus, but we'll need to open
our minds if this is to be a pos-
sibility.

Only thirty-three days until
Christmas vacation — Miller's and
Midland already are sporting
lacey aluminum and spray glue.
Thoughts have well churned past
November twenty-sixth, the near-
est day of legal rest ... A labor-
ed consideration of the girl best
suited to represent the class this
year calls club presidents to their
carnival tasks of washing apples
for bobbing and of mixing shav-
ing cream for throwing. The
menial efforts of a Earning go
unnoticed and perhaps unattend-
ed .. .
Yet the day arrives, full
stomaches can be thankful for
the extra apple gained by bob-
bing, and Maryville may yet set-
tle gladly for scratchy hay,
strong accents, and crude scenery.
The softened people seen through
panes of shaving cream
have gained Warm-Barning looks
like those at home — and the
day of thanksgiving seems to
have added a dimension . . .
Dr. David Stanley, with his wife the recipient of the 1963-64 Fred
Hope Fund, is shown examining a child in a clinic in Laos. The Stanleys
left the U. S. in February for an 1 8 months' stay as medical missionaries
with the Tom Dooley foundation. They have set up a 20 bed hospital on an
island in the Mekong river.
FRED HOPE FUND: MC'S
PART IN ANOTHER WORLD
In a month or so students and faculty will be asked to pledge
a contribution to Maryville's Fred Hope Fund. Although Ihe words
Fred Hope are part of every Maryville student's vocabulary, few
students are well acquainted with the Fund's sixty year history.
Fred Hope supported until 1946
Fred Hope was a student at Maryville shortly after the turn of
the century and was active in a YMCA group which raised money
for missionary work in China.
When he graduated from Maryville and went as a missionary to
Africa, the remaining students in this Y group continued to raise
money, which they contributed to Fred Hope's industrial school, in
which he taught industrial skills to African students. Maryville's
students and faculty continued to send money to the school until Fred
Hope's retirement in 1946.
. Fund contributed $12,500 to Newton Hospital
For the next five years the Fred Hope Fund went to a Maryville
graduate, Mary Edna Smith, who was teaching in a girls' school in
South China, which was supported by the Presbyterian Mission
Board.
Iri 1951-52 the Fund, for the first time, had two recipients: the
Cameroun Christian College in Africa, and Dr. Dorothy Ferris,
another MC graduate, at the Frances Newton Hospital, Ferozepur,
India. The Fund also went to Ferozepur in the succeeding years
through 1959, giving a total of $12,500 to the Frances Newton
Hospital.
In 1959-60 Maryville contributed to Operation Crossroads,
a student work program. In 1960-61, the Fred Hope Fund helped
to build a medical clinic in Momjepom, Africa, and in 1961-62,
a hospital mobile medical unit in Korea. The next year the Fund
went to John and Parveen, two Indian Medical students.
1963-64 Fund to Stanleys in Laos
Last year the Fund was again divided, with part going to MC
graduates Dr. and Mrs. David Stanley for their medical work in
Laos, and part being used to establish a scholarship for a Negro
student. As yet a recipient for the Fred Hope scholarship has not
been found.
The Fred Hope Committee is at the present discussing possible
uses for this year's fund. But whatever its object, the fund will
provide Maryville students and faculty with an opportunity to extend
a Christian love and interest to others in the world. Although per-
haps in a relatively small way, it is an expression of our participation
in world affairs.

4-The Highland Echo, November 14, 1964
Focus on Sports
by Pliil Jtrem*
The history of soccer at Mary-
villa College is short and inter-
esting. It reaches back only about
five years when a group of stu-
dents decided to form a -team.
Since that time the squad has
advanced to the jwint where it
plays Berea and Warren Wilson
Colleges — two of the finest teams
in the South.
In this history the names of two
faculty members are prominent —
Mr. Arthur Ainsworth and Dr.
David Young. Mr. Ainsworlh
was the original supporter of the
team. His agreement to accom-
pany the squad on their trips was
the major factor in the decision
of the administration to allow soc-
cer to exist on an inter-collegiate
basis. More recendy, the name of
Dr. Young hos been foremost to
the soccer team.
In his undergraduate days at
Park College, Dr. Young was a
member of the soccer team. When
he arrived at Maryville College
several years ago, he lent his ser-
vices and exj^erience to the im-
provement of the Scots' soccer
team.
Working totally without com-
pensation other than the pleasure
he derives from playing the
Defense Halts Mars Hill
game. Dr. Young has taken over
the duties of coarh. He attends
practices, faithfully spends his
spare time in analyzing the prob-
lems of the team, and travels to
the games at his own expense.
Although the team has not
done well this season, the pati-
ence and coaching of Dr. Young
has been a great asset. Men who
are willin» to devote a sizabl?
portion of their time to the
advancement of sports at Mary-
ville College deserve to be recog-
nized and applauded.
Dr. Young is such a man.
It is hoped that this article will
serve to make the student body
aware of Dr. Young's contribu-
tions lO the team, express in part
the gratitude of the soccer squad,
and act as a small tribute to Dr.
Young nimself.
In preparation for the game
with Mars Hill, Coach Howard
Tomlinson pulled out eleven red
practice' jerseys and gave them
to his best defensive players.
Throughout the veek Tomlinson
worked almost solely with this
"red ?quad." Hib purpose was
to keep Mars Hill from scoring.
He succeeded. Faced with the
poorest offensive output of the
year, the outstanding work of
the defensive unit gave Maryville
College its seventh truimph of the
season with a 6 to 0 victory.
Webb Scores T.D.
The game was a defensive
struggle on the part of both
teams. The nationally ranked
Maryville offense managed to
score only one touchdown. For-
tunately, it was enough to pro-
vide the Scots with the decision.
The score came in the second
quarter.
Taking the ball on their own
38 yard line, the Maryville Squad,
led by the running of Jeff Slagle
and the field generalship of Ben-
ny Monroe, moved 62 yards in

Improved Scots
A highly overconfident soccer
team from Berea College had to
make a strong second half come-
back to defeat the Maryville
College team 3 to 2.
On the basis of an 8 Jto 0 vic-
tory over the Scots earlier in the
season, the Bears had underesti-
mated the determination of the
Highlanders. In the first half the
Scots dominated play almost com-
pletely.
On the rare occasions that the
ball was brought into Maryville
territory, the Scots' fullbacks,
Dave Taylor and Harry Repsher,
booted the ball back to the line
which continued its assault on the
Berea goal.
Parrish Scores
Despite their dominace of play,
the Scots only managed to score
one goal in the first half. Half-
back Dave Parrish sent a shot
past the Berea goalie on a penalty
kick. The goal was Parrish's
second of the season.
Berea Takes Lead
Trailing by a score of 1 to 0,
the Berea team came out strong
at the start of the second half.
Behind the play of center for-
ney.
Scots Push for Tie
However, the Scots were not
out of the game. With five min-
utes left in the contest, Billy Evaui
broke past the Berea fullbacks
and beat the Bears' goalie to make
the score 3 to 2. In the final
moments of the game, the Scots
pushed to tie the score, but were
unable to send the ball into the
nets.
Inability to Score
Although the defeat pushed the
Scots' record to 0-5, the game was
by far the best Highlanders have
played this year. After completely
dominating play in the first half,
they met the Bears on even terms
in the second half of play.
The defense was at its strong-
est peak of the season. The line,
however, has still not solved the
problem of how to put the ball
into the net. Although they had
numerous opportunities, they
managed to score only twice.
In the official statistics re-
leased by the National Collegiate
Athletic Bureau on October 30th
the Maryville College football
team achieved national recognition
in two areas among top small
colleges.
The Scots were ranked fifteen-
th in the nation in total offenje.
The Scots have averaged 372.3
yards per game.
In forward pass offense, the
Scots ranked twelfth, averaging
196.8 yards per game.
Many individuals deserve to be
singled out for their play. Mike
Mayo, starting his first game, did
an outstanding job at halfback.
Red Prudhon and Dave Parrish,
the other halfbacks, played well
as they have week after week.
Adam Dale played a strong game
in the goal. Fullback Dave Tay-
lor and right wing Sonny Hughes
also turned in fine performances.
eleven plays for the touchdown.
The scoring play came on an
eight yard pass from Monroe to
Sonny Webb. Monroe's extra
point attempt was wide.
Offense Lacks Punch
Maryville's poor offensive
showing can be attributed to four
factors.
1. The oflensive line-up was
'stocked with players from the
second team. Coach Tomlinson's
plan to platoon his team into of-
fensive and defensive units made
it necessary to substitute second
stringers for those who were play-
ing exclusively defense.
2. Tlie Scots lost the ball five
times, four times on fumbles and
ono time on a pats interception.
3. Poor field position was a
third factor. Long drives by Mars
Hill forced the Scots to start
under the pressure of being deep
in their own territory.
4. The Maryville squad was
gi'eatly outweighed by their op-
ponents. Meeting 260 pound
tackles and 220 pound centers,
the Highlanders were at a dis-
advantage of almost 25 pounds
per man.
Pryor, Defense Stand Out
The heroes of the game were
Maryville's defensive team. Four
times Mars Hill drove deep into
Maryville territory only to be
stopped short of the end zone.
Drives were halted on the 14, 7,
6, and 1 yard lines.
Spearheading the defense were
Herman Ramsey who added to
his team leading total by inter-
cepting two passes; Gary Dutton,
the Scots' massive 230 pound
tackle ; and Jim Pryor who played
almost the entire game, serving
on offense as well as defense.
Scots Meet Eagles
This evening the Maryville
squad will face its sternest test
of the year when it meets Car-
son-Newman College. The Eagles
hold a 14 to 11 edge in the old
rivalry that stretches back to
1924. Carrying a 5-3 record into
the game, Carson-Newman will
be trying to avenge Maryville's
17-14 victory last year.

Shades of Smudge
For such a closely knit group
as we in the college family are,
we seem to suffer from many
strange misconceptions of one
another. At least I hope they're
miscoiiceptions.
There is a general tendency
on the part of faculty and ad-
ministration to view present
leaders as poor copies of the
Good, those legions of coopera-
tive officers who have passed on.
Students like to look forward
to future faculty and administra-
tors, knowing they'll be an im-
provement over the present situa-
tion. These opposite directions
are hard to overcome; some-
times we don't.
Student Council has recently
been mistaken for a small, minor-
ity cell, with definite leanings
toward subversion and anarchy.
Executive Council, more often
than not, is also classified as
a small minority cell, but with
no leanings at all. If you'll par-
don a poor pun, these views are
rather slanted.
Individuals too have not es-
caped classification. I'll just men-
tion two of the more obvious
personal misconceptions. Dean
McClelland is often pictured as
a sort of Scrooge, holding out
the annual Christmas goose from
the improverished student. Now
that just isn't so — it's Miss Ware
that's holding out.
Mike Moyers is sometimes mis-
understood— seems he's sort of a
morbid and methodic Mephi-
stopheles. That's a heck of a way
to talk about such a nice guy.
Now for a solution — and I
always have one — might I just
suggest an awareness of these
misconceptions whch we hold.
With these notions removed, or
least suppressed, we should be
able to be more honest with one
another. I find it so much easier
to breathe in an atmosphere of
trust.
Nobody's Who
The Highland Echo is unable
to publish the results of the
Who's Who election in today's
issue, contrary to an announce-
ment in the November 11
minutes of student council.
The Echo will carry the re-
sults as soon as verification has
been received from the National
Association of Who's Who.

November 26, 1964 — another
blue Thursday? Not so — an-
other Barnwarming — the best
this year, we think. Begun by the
Y's a number of years ago, the
show has grown to gala propor-
tions, and this year's Barnwarm-
ing Court will reign over a
Thanksgiving carnival, and vari-
ety show.
Sponsored by UCCF
Vice-Presidents Nancy Buck-
waiter and Bill Erwin, working
with the UCCF social commis-
sion, have decided to return
again to the barn — and plans
have been underway since early
October.
Hal Schultz, chairman of
bootfis, has asked all campus
organizations to enter the carni-
val competition, in an effort to
make this a campus-wide project.
A cash prize will be awarded on
the basis of proceeds, original-
ity, and appeal.
Wayne Frey has been gather-
ing acts for the variety show,
and reports many headline
names: Dean McClelland, the
Pepper Shakers, the Nightwatch-
man, Ingrid HeUmer, Dr.
Walker, David Evans, a chorus
line directed by Mr. Mize, and
a variety of more.
Proceeds go to Fred Hope Funtf
Upon recommendation by the
social commission and in agree-
ment with the Fred Hope Com-
mittee, the UCCF Cabinet voted
to contribute all Barnwarming
proceeds to the .Fred Hope Fund,
and to use the entire Barnwarm-
ing project as a kick-off for the
Fred Hope Fund Campaign (see
feature article, this issue).
Held III alumni gym
The evening's activities will be
centered in the alumni gym —
carnival at 5:00, show at 8:00.
Admission is 75 cents; tickets
for booths and refreshments will
be sold at the carnival. All
students, faculty, and members
of the community are invited.

Speaking of vacations, the Echo is taking one too. The day off

us to decide that we should publish the next issue December 5
We'd like to say something about Letters to the Editor. They're
welcome, and we can't think of any reason that we'd refuse to print
one. If a letter doesn't appear immediately, it may be that we
haven't had room for it, as is the case this week. We'll find it later.
Not having heard any great complaints recently by anyone here,
we hope that we may begin to understand each other; to tolerate
each other, as Dr. Jackson so well said this week; and to trust each
other, as Mr. Moyers says today.

We hope for you a meaningful Thanksgiving.

Letter To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
Perhaps your "mature" and
sophisticated" readers should be
informed that most of them
missed an outstanding concert
given by the Maryville College-
Community Orchestra. The stu-
dent attendance — or should I
say, the lack of student attend-
ance — was pathetic.
I hope that none of the stu-
dents argue for cars on campus
in order to attend cultural events
at the Civic Coliseum while I am
within hearing distance. I'm not
suie if my life insurance will pay
if I die of laughter!
Richard C. Gossweiler
Shakspere?
by Carole Brownlee
Duncan C. Bennett, Director
of Information Services, has
recently returned from a three
day conference at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill. Sponsored by the American
College Public Relations As-
sociation of which Maryville Col-
lege is a member, the institute
centered around the applications
of communication research to
public relations and develop-
ment programs.
The conference was under the
direction cf thirteen experts in
the field, most of whom are in-
volved in university journalism
or sociology.
One of the more interesting
aspects of the presentation was
a demonstration of an electronic
computor used to determine the
"readability" of news releases,
broadcast scripts and other re-
lated material. In an analysis
of the news releases sent out by
Maryville College, it was found
that they exceed in difficulty
The Bible and Shakspere.
Among the topics discussed
were the physiological, psy-
chological and sociological bases
for communication and per-
suasion; the relation of linguis-
tics and semantics to "read-
ablitv" and "listenabilitv"; and
theories regarding the effects of
messages on attitudes and
opinions.
As a refeult of these meetings,
Mr. Bennett sees the need for
1 redirection of effort in his de-
partment. Instead of concentrat-
ing on a non-existent general
public, communication media
should be aimed first at the stu-
dents, then the parents, and final-
ly the alumni.

Assignment: read up on Fred
Hope — and try to capture the
excitement that proved his life
. . . Conclusion: Fred Hope, hero
of another generation, chancellor
vanguard of past Maryville stu-
dents, was one big man.
Fred Hope, graduate of Mary-
ville College, and director of
the Frank James Industrial
School, Elat, Cameroun, West
Africa (or so it was then). To
an African, "Ajap," a huge,
straight, fruitful jungle tree. A
man with a vision, whose
generosity knew no bounds. A
missionary on the West African
Field for near to thirty-five
.years. A man with a hearty
laugh, and a man who was big,
hard to be forgotten.
Fred Hope, part of a tradition
at Maryville College. Or perhaps
I should say, from Maryville Col-
lege. One of a long line of "Great
Scots" who have kept ties with
the Maryville community; ties
which cannot be broken. A re-
sult: the continuation of the
Fred Hope Fund from year to
year. Not at all understood by
new members of our community.
The cliche Fred Hope has be-
come only the name of a pledge
drive, a committee that meets
in the fall. So each year we re-
tell the story of a great man —
to remind some and acquaint
others. But this fund is more
than just an opportunity to
oarticipate in a missionary en-
terprise (although this is a valid
reason in itself) ; there are cer
tainly numerous other possibili-
ties for this sort of thing. May
I suggest that this Fund is rather
an opportunity for each mem-
ber of the Maryville community
to become acquainted with and
to renew the bonds of a tradi-
tion of learning — a tradition
of graduates who have gone on
to become "Great Scots." And
the funj^ grows each year —
thirty years of sending to Hope's
work in Africa; five years to
Mary Edna Smith, a Maryville
graduate teaching in China;
again to the Cameroun for three
years; eight years to another
MC graduate in India, one year
to Indian students as a medical
scholarship; and last year to
{graduates David and Mrs. Stan-
ley for medical work in Laos.
A total of some $41,000 in funds.
In light of these ties, the Fred
Hope Committee has decided that
the proceeds from this year's
project should again be sent to
the Frances Newton Hospital in
Ferozepur, India. Over $12,000
has already been sent in past
years, and a cable has been re-
ceived this week from Dr.
Dorothy Ferris, director of the
hospital, suggesting her great ex-
citement at the decision. The pro-
ject efforts begin with Thanks-
giving Barnwarming; the pledge
drive will begin in December.
Individuals and groups are en-
couraged to participate and to
become* a part of the living
Great Scots, the living part of
Maryville College.

Phi Notes
by Joe Thomas
To some the progress on Mary-
ville's campus jDccurs slowly. To
others the change which does oc-
cur appears to be a rapic! de-
generation of the institution. In
either case, the fact of change re
mains.
This change, which some term
"progress," is reflected in the
Kappa Phi society.
Formerly the Athenian Liter-
ary Society, Phi has come a long
way in the last century. In the
dark days of yore prospective
Athenians were brutually forced
to make individual speeches be-
fore full acceptance into the so-
cieiy. (Ihey say that Samuel
Tyndale Wilson's knees "smote
together mightily durmg his
maiden speech.;
Now Phi pledges are only re-
quired to endure an evenine: of
nameless terrors in the Maryville
College Jungle.
In 1910 some progressive
Athenians initiated the now ven-
rated institution of dues collectioriy
which remains strong to this day.
Still, all this progress has not
obliterated the Athenian spirit of
sagacity, fraternity, and well-
roundcdness, present and growing
in Phi.
In the interest of furthering
progress. Beta and Phi will spon-
sor a skating party on Saturday.
November 21. So c'mon out and
progress with us.

Let us be thankful for people.
This world is full of all kinds of people. It is good to know some
of them. It would be good to know more of them. So many of the
people in the world are great. They respond to friendship. They want
to be useful. It is amazing how many people overcome bad home
situations, poverty, illness and ignorance.
Some people impose on friendship and affection. Most do not.
It is worthwhile to take a chance. The people of the world need to
find someone who will take a chance on them and trust them. Those
people who distrust persons of a different color or race or economic
or political philosophy do not understand the meaning of existence.
It is the genius of being truly alive to believe in people. Our first
business, at Thanksgiving, is to be grateful that we belong to the
human family.
Let us be thankful for our world. This is a beautiful place to
live. The miracle of trees, rocks, lakes, birds, mountains, should ne^er
cease to inspire us with gratitude. For millions of years the Creator
has been at work, making this home for man. We can count on it.
It sustains and supports us. And we need to be thankful for our world.
It is good.
Let us be thankful for institutions of government, worship, and
education. The state provides order so that we can Hve with a degree
of security and comfort. The Church provides places where we can
stop to gain balance and power, where we can glorify God. The
college and home educate us and teach us to grow up. They surround
us with friends who share their knowledge with us. They give us
affection and discipline which enable us to become mature.
Through the home and church and school we come to know the
Bible, and so we get roots for our lives. Let us be thankful for these
institutions in our society which enable us to become full grown
human beings.
I.) Let us be honest in facing the fact that there are some
things in our world which we find it almost impossible to accept. Such
things as the following rob us of our trust in people:
1). Mr. Goldwater standing before an audience of some of
our finest citizens «nd accusing some of our greatest leaders of being
soft on Communism. So far as I know, at no time did Mr. Goldwater
repudiate those people among his supporters who implied or stated
openly that such men as Chief Justice Warren, Adlai Stevenson and
Dwight Eisenhower could not be trusted in dealing with Communist
countries. , , ■, ^ - 1 n
It is one thing to disagree about the best way to deal with Com-
munism, but it is a terrible thing when our leaders question the
loyalty of other citizens to our American democracy.
2). A young man and young woman parading their physical
attraction for one another before others, embarassing their friends
and revealing that they lack a proper sense of dignity.
(3). People who fear change and try to stand in the way of
progress. These people forget that there is almost always a better way
to do anything or everything than we have discovered. In a world in
revolution they want to go back to the good old days that never were.
II.) But let us also be thankful for the people whom we find it
easiest to accept. Let us be thankful for:
1«. Pope John, who changed history just by being himself. He
said that people were far more important than the theories they ad-
vocated.
2). Martin Luther King. He said that the streets of Birming-
ham might run red with blood, but if so, let it be Negro blood. No
white man can ever be the same again after he has thought about that
remark for half an hour.
3.) Karl Barth. He studied his Bible and allowed it to guide
him. He took vital Christian faith out of his study into the world
and mande mankind stir. He showed us how to get roots so that
we can grow. At seventy-five he remains younger than most
twenty year olds.
4.) All the teachers of the world. The men and women who
get their great joy out of enabling a young person to think about
some new idea. Let us be thankful for life.

Maryville Wins in Soccer,
St. Bernard is 3-1 Victim
C-N Tops Scots in Finals
by Bill Evaul
The Maryville College soccer
team won its first game of the
season last Saturday against the
unbeaten, thrice tied St. Ber-
nard Saints from Alabama by a
score of 3 to 1. Dr. Young, the
coach of the squad, called the
victory a "fine team effort."
Maryville scored three times
in the first half and then clamped
down on St. Bernard for the rest
of the game. The Scots had com-
plete control of the ball for the
majority of the time and only the
lack of power on the line pre-
vented the score from being
higher.
The Maryville squad was able
to control the ball mainly through
the efforts of the defensive lines
and goalie Andy Dale. The
Saints could find no way to pass
through the halfbacks and full-
backs to gain a score.
Prudhon, Bernard Lead Scoring
The Scots broke into the lead
in the first quarter when captain
Red Prudhon dazzled the Saint
defensive lines with his drib-
bling and then sizzled the ball
by the goalie. But the star of the
offensive line was a Bernard
boy — Jim Bernard, the Scot
center.
•Early in the second quarter
he took a Sonny Hughes pass
from the side and put the ball
behind the goalie. Later in the
same quarter, he outraced the
defense to a Bill Evaul pass from
mid-field and pushed in his se-
cond goal.
Saints Notch Ute Coal
The single St. Bernard tally
came in the fourth period after
goalie Andy Dale had made a
dive to prevent a score. He
punched the ball in front of the
nets and Saint Inner Lou Chioz-
za was there a second sooner
than the defense.
Others to be commended for
their fine play are halfbacks
Mike Mayo and Dave Parrish,
fullback Dave 'Peacock' Taylor,
and lineman Adam Deveney.
Seniors End Careers
This was the last game for
five seniors. Co-captains Harry-
Repsher and Red Prudhon ended
outstanding careers. Harry Rep-
sher, injured during the last week
of practice and unable to play
Saturday's game, has been an in-
dispensable part of the defense
all year, playing both halfback
and fullback.
Red Prudhon has amazed
many opponents with his remark-
able dribbling skill and with his
powerful, accurate kicks. Wing
Phil Jerome is another senior
who will be missed — his speed
and ability make him an unequ-
aled player on the line. Also
playing their last game for the
Scots were Pee Wee Tongyai,
who turned in a commendable
job at fullback, and Don Elly,
who began the year at goalie
and was switched to inner at the
end of the year.
Bernard Tops Scorers
The two goals scored by Jim
Bernard qualified him for the
honor of high scorer of the year
with three goals. Dave Parrish
was second, ending the season
with two goals — both penalty
shots. Those scoring once this
season were Red Prudhon, Sonny
Hughes, Bill Evaul, Bill Black-
wood, and Ed Clark.
by Dave King
Well, you can't win them all
and a 7 - 1 season record is
something to be mighty proud of,
but somehow it just isn't the
same without a win over Carson-
Newman. In case you hadn't
heard, our previously undefeated
Scots just couldn't get by an
u p s e t-minded Carson-Newman
squad last Saturday night, as the
Eagles added insult to injury and
dumped the Scots, 24-14.
The Maryvillians never led in
the game but the outcome wasn't
decided until late in the fourth
quarter as the Baptists scored an
insurance touchdown.
Monroe Scores on Pluiigo
The game got off to an un-
fortunate start as the Eagles
picked up a fumble in the Mary-
ville backfield on the third play
of the game and soon moved it
over for a touchdown. The PAT
attempt was no good, much to
the delight of the enthusiastic
Maryville fans, but nevertheless,
the score stood at 6-0.
Late in the first quarter Mary-
ville took over at its 46 and put
together three first downs to the
10. Then, on fourth down, Benny
Monroe sneaked over from the
one yard line to tie up. Our
point-after attempt was no good
either and the score stood
knotted at 6-6.
Fumble Aids Eagles
Alpha Sigma Wins 'Shoe' Game;
Sledgehammers Take Championship
The Sledgehammers of Alpha
Sigma dominated play in the in-
tramural football league this fall.
They began by marching
through regular season play
without a defeat, and then cli-
maxed their season with a 26 to
12 victory over Kappa Phi in the
Stinking Shoe game.
The Stinking Shoe game is the
annual post-season game that
matches the all-stars of the two
societies against each other. The
Kappa Phi squad was constituted
with members from the Eagles
and the Spartans while Alpha
Sigma was represented by the
Sledgehammers.
Kappa Phi opened the scoring
when Rich Marshall passed to
center Dare Hutchinson in the
end zone after a brilliant recep-
tion by Ken Young had placed
the ball deep in Alpha Sigma
territory. The extra point attempt
failed and Phi had a 6 to 0 lead.
At this point, however, the
powerful Sledgehammer offense
began to function efficiently. On
the strong arm of Jerry Stewart,
Sig's fine senior quarterback,
they moved to three touchdowns
before the half time break. Stew-
art passed for touchdowns to
Bill Schellinger and John
Agnew.
Sonny Hughes and Red Pru-
dhon also caught Stewart passes
to add PAT'S to the Sig total.
The third Sig touchdown in the
first half occurred when Buck
Petty carried the ball across the
goal line on a burst through the
middle of the line.
Returning from the half time
break with a 20 to 6 lead, the
Sledges added one more score to
their total. Again it was a Stew-
art pass, this time to Joe Scheid-
ler, that earned the six points.
Kappa Phi also added to their
total when John Livingston
caught a long pass from Rich
Marshall and ran for the six
points. However, the Sig defense
was strong and repulsed all other
Kappa Phi attempts to preserve
their 26 to 12 margin and earn
the victory.
It was another Maryville fum-
ble I^te in the second quarter
that set up the next Carson-New-
man score. With only seconds
left on the clock the Eagles tried
to penetrate Maryville scoring
territory but had to settle for a
field goal from the 14.
Slagle Scores for Scots
After the opposing schools'
bands entertained (a yearly rival-
ry in itself) the Eagles returned
to the field to pick up where
they'd left off. Taking the se-
cond half kickoff it only took
the Big Birds ten plays to score
another touchdown and add the
extra point.
The Scots again took the ball
and just as it looked as though
they'd have to surrender it; Mike
White was roughed up as he at-
tempted one of his long punts and
we were given the ball with a
first down.
Benny Monroe engineered his
team downfield, handing off to
Jeff Slagle and Danny Rogers
and throwing to Archie Ander-
son until Slagle pushed over the
goalline from the 1.
Slagle's run for the two points
moved the score to 16-14 and
the screaming Maryville fans,
who refused to sit down for most
of the game, began to see visions
of another Scottie score in the
dying seconds. Unfortunately,
the Eagles weren't on the same
wave length and just before the
final gun, pushed through the
tiring Maryville defense for a
touchdown and 2 point conver-
sion.
The last play of the game was
the kickoff and Maryville's hopes
for its first undefeated season
since 1946 died on the playing
field at Carson-Newman.
Tomlinson Deserves Praise
The loss was a hard one to
take, both because it ruined our
chances for our undefeated sea-
son and because nothing means
more around here than a win
over our arch-rivals, Carson-New-
man.
For a number of us this was
the last game we will see as stu-
dents and the fact that it wasn't
a victory was disappointing. But
in the four years we've been here
we've seen some mighty fine
football for three years under
Coach Baird and this year under
new Head Coach Tomlinson.
In the past four years the
football Scots have won 25 and
lost only 8, four of those losses
coming in one season.
The real significance of this
mark is that we are a school of
about 800 with no athletic
scholarships as such, playing
schools considerably larger than
we are (Carson-Newman has
1557 students this year) who
have 3 or 4 strings on scholar-
ships.
Coach Tomlinson, a man whom
the players respect very much,
had a crew this year that he
could rightly be proud of. We,
as students, are certainly proud
of the fine showing our boys
made this year and wish them
the best of luck for next year.

Lest We Ferget
What is an Independent
Study? The sum total of two
semesters' work, crowded into
the month before Christmas. . .
Long nights and gallons of cof-
fee, or cokes, or . . . How many
pages of legal pad make one
typed page? . . . But I write
bigger than most people ... I
know they say quality is more
important than quantity, but 15
pages?? I spent three hours a
day with those mice this sum-
mer — what more could any-
one ask? . . . Can you graduate
with a D in Special Studies? . . .
I'm going to bed now — wake
me up at 4 a. m. ... Get up!
It's ten til eight! . . . What hap-
pens if you don't finish? . . .
Why didn't I transfer after my
sophomore year? . . . Yama-
yama . . . Read Calatians before
you work on your Independent
Study: it will help . . . Security
is putting the last period after
the last sentence . . .
At this point, the Independent
Study program is probably the
most maligned, misunderstood
portion of our curriculum.
But I have a feeling that,
come Januar}-^ 9, we seniors may
feel a little more benevolent to-
ward the idea. And probably
by the time we leave here, we'll
be downright grateful that we
had such an opportunity.
There are aspects of the pro-
gram which need to be studied:
the expense involved; the un-
fortunate fact that many juniors
do not give enough thought to
the selection of a topic before
they are forced to decide; the
need for a more consistent style
manual.
But on the whole, we at
Maryville can be grateful for
Special Studies. The opportunity
is there for a year of satisfying
effort.

Phi Notes
by Joe Thomas
Thanks to the work of the
willing and willful pledges, the
Phi house is complete. Last
Saturday the house got the
finishing touches which, along
with our new floor surface, give
every Phi just cause for pride
and enthusiasm.
Kappa Phi, recognizing the
deeper meanings of the Christ-
mas season, will be collecting
food for a Christmas basket for
some needy families. Each Phi is
asked to donate at least one
can of food to the basket.
For every twenty cans donated
Phi will add one turkey for
the family. In this way we hope
to give some people a truly
merr)' Christmas.

Dear Miss Ware,
I promised I'd write you about
the food here, and Veterans'
Day is a holiday, so here goes.
They eat on cafeteria style
here — it's a pretty large cafe-
teria, equipped to handle about
1500 a meal I think. Prices are
reasonable, but you usually end
up paying 75 cents for break-
fast and a dollar to a dollar and
a half for other meals.
Or you can get a special "con-
tract" where you get certain
specified items each meal, and it
costs 17 dollars a week for a
21-meal week, This is a pretty
reasonable way to eat, and you
get fair quantity — I haven't
figured it up to see how it would
compare with Maryville in price,
but I'm sure it's somewhat more.
At any rate, even though you
can get quite a bit more variety
at every meal here than you
could at Maryville, I'm appreci-
ating your food at Maryville
more every day!
In the beginning, all of the
different dishes here seemed
good, but now it seems like they
have the same things day after
day, and they always taste sort
of tasteless.
Worse, the food is often pretty
cold because the cafeteria style,
even with modern heaters, etc,
just makes it impossible to keep
food fresh.
Another advantage which I
never appreciated at Maryville
was having someone who knew
and cared enough about food
to prepare a balanced meal.
Here, on cafeteria style, it's easy
to eat too much of one thing
and not enough of another, and
as a result, digestion problems

Beta and Phi want to thank
Sue Foreman and the Beta
pledges for the dinner in the Y
rooms Thursday for our hard-
fighting Slinking Shoe foorball
players. The food was good and
so was the entertainment.
All Beta members are asked to
see Judy Butler before Christ-
mas to be sure all pledges have
big sisters. Several activities in-
volving big-little sisters are
planned for after Christmas.

In all, let me compliment
you — a little late, I guess —
on the job you're doing at Mary-
ville. Your food always showed
that you cared about how it
tasted; here I often think they
just want to get the job done.
Also, I remember you would
always try a new dish on re-

Don't let the complainers gel
you down; they'll appreciate
what you're doing after they get

Time was when there was
nothing — not black nor space
nor cold nor sweet nor yes. This
was neither before time nor af-
ter. It was. And is. . .
From nothing there came noth-
ing, and God saw that it was
good and allowed as how the
delusion of description and classi-
fication was all right with Him
if Man wanted it that way. As
yet Man was a nothing — he
was phosphorus and calcium, ex-
cept, of course, that phosphorus
and calcium were nothing be-
cause Man wasn't around to
name them. And God chuckled
thinking that Man might some-
day name calcium "root beer"
and never know the difference.
So it was that the restlessness
of Static became Life, and Life,
looking for the mechanism as is
its custom, became Man who,
indignant at not being allowed in
on the secrets from the first,
proposed some secrets of his
own — like language and war.
Wondering at the uselessness
of space he shortly sent out a
few tentative, cautious pray-
ers — prayer being Man's long-
ing for his original nothingness.
The uneasy, wandering people
of Now would urge the poets.
"Is it not a dream that has built
our world?" and "Lord, what
dream envisioned a teardrop
before its reality?" The poets
were content with brief flights
into the infinite and the people
were content with the poets.
Then one day, just like that,
a great bus pulled up alongside
the universe and flung open its
doors. Naturally there were a
number of adventurous souls who
hastened to get aboard leaving
behind them a multitude of va-
cant men who piddled around in
their gardens awhile and shortly
were turned into useful phos-
phorus and calcium upon which
dandelions and peonies thrive.
As the bus pulled away from
Earth the people could hardly
contain their excitement. Down
the aisles the word was passed,
"We're going home."
you bet!"

Dean Massey and Dean Bush-
ing have recently attended a
conference for presidents and
student personnel deans held in
St. Louis, Missouri, from Octo-
ber 25-27. It was sponsored by
the Presbyterian College Union
of the United Presbyterian
Church and had 57 Presbyterian-
rqlated colleges represented.
The purpose of this conference
as stated in a bulletin from the
Board of Christian Education of
the United Presbyterian Church
was "to help give concerted
thought to the problems of cam-
pus life posed by the changing
value standards and patterns of
behavior in our society as they
are reflected by college stu-
dents."
The conference centered
around group discussions and
three addresses. The keynote ad-
dress by Dr. Cole, president of
Lake Forest College, emphasized
that student interests, the racial
problem, the political campaigns,
and the Peace Corps contribute
to the make-up of today's stu-
dent. In later adolescence the
student needs guidance to aid
him in avoiding emotional harm,
just as in childhood he was
guided to keep himself from
physical injury.
The second address entitHed
"Ethics and Law the Relation-
ship Between Students and Col-
lege" by Dr. Wise of the Dan-
forth Foundation presented an
opposing viewpoint.
The last address was by the
recent director of training for
the Peace Corps. He spoke on

In addition to these addresses,

was given a topic pertinent to

nition who served as leaders.

major discussion centered on
the question concerning the res-
posibility of a church-related
college in regard to drinking and
the ways that this problem should
be met.
Dean Bushing was in the
group studying the legal rights
of students. This discussion
brought out the universality of
certain problems and new trends
of thinking on them. One trend
today is away from the college's
interference between students
and local officials. This means
that the student alone would be
responsible if he broke the law
and should take the consequen-
ces.
The value of this conference
lay in its broadening effect.
Through meeting with represen-
taives from other colleges, a
clearer perspective of Maryville's
particular problems was gained.

In order to catch up on the
past events of the women's intra-
mural program, it will be neces-
sary to take a backward glance.
A review of soccer shows that
Theta Epsilon came out on top
6-0.
The Women's Athletic Asso-
ciation is now in the midst of
volleyball with four teams re-
presenting Theta Epsilon, four
teams representing Chi Beta, and
one team representing the wo-
men of the faculty.
As of November 24 Chi Beta
had won six, Theta Epsilon five,
and the faculty one.
On December 7, there will be
an all-star game played by the
best players selected from each
society. This game is to be at
6:30 in the Alumni Gym before
the varsity University of Chat-
tanooga game.
The society swim meet will be
at 3:45 on Tuesday, December
8.
The second annual intercolle
£»iate swim play day will be on
December 12 with represent-
! atives from Virginia Intermont,
Carson Newman, and Maryville.
Nancy White and Arlene Lar-
sen are coaching the team. The
meet begins at 9:00 A.M., and
everyqne is invited to attend.
So tar this year, the Women's
Athletic Association has put
forth a program which has been
well organized, well operated,
and well supported. If this pace
is kept up, the program will con-
tinue, without a doubt, to be a
most successful one.

4-The Highland Echo, December 5, «1964
Confidence, Desire Keys to Cage Success
Although lacking in height, ex-
experience and letterman. Coach
Boydson Baird is enthusiastic
about the chances of the 1964-65
edition of the Maryville College
basketball team.
Promising that "the boys will
be ready," Baird went on to say
that he hopes to show improve-
ment over last year.
Baird's optimism would seem
unfounded in light of the fact
that only three lettermen return
from last year's team. Senior
Kip Martin, who captained the
team in the 1963-64 season,
junior Denny McGowan, and
senior Mike Moyers are the vete-
rans.
A second factor that casts
doubt on optimistic forecasts
is the problem of injuries. Both
Martin and McGowan are nurs-
ing ailments. It is hoped that
McGowan will be ready for the
opener against Shorter College,
but Martin is definitely out un-
til after the holidays.
Pre-Season Practices Lengthened
Baird bases his optimism on
two factors. The first of these
is the fact that the Scots will be
better prepared to open the sea-
son than they have been in past
years. Freed from his duties as
head football coach, Baird has
been able to devote his abilities
solely to the progress of the
basketball squad.
The lengthened pre-s e a s o n
practice schedule should result
in superior conditioning and bet-
ter coordination of the offensive
patterns.
Improved Personnel
Baird's second cause for op-
timism is improved personnel
Heading the newcomers to the
squad is Bob Clark, a 6-0 soph-
omore guard. Clark could be

4§ \

Meyers
the key to the success of the
team.
A good ball handler and shoot-
er, Clark has a strong* chance
to lead the team in scoring, but
more important, he could deve-
lop into a floor leader who would
help mold the team into a unit.
Dave Alexander, who saw
much experience in the first half
of the season last year, is an-
other non-letterman that Baird
is counting on heavily. The tall-
est member of the team at 6-31A,
Alexander will start at center for
the Scots.
He is a good jumper and
should be a major asset in Mary-
ville's efforts to control the of-
fensive and defensive boards.
Alexander needs experience in
working in the center slots be-
fore he develops into a first rate
basketball player.
Jack Llewellyn came to the
team at the start of the second
semester last year. Llewellyn's
major asset is an excellent out-
side shot that is both quick and
accurate.
His marksmanship should
force the Scots' opponents to
abandon the zone defense in
favor of a man-to-man which
would leave them vulnerable to
the clever drives of Clark.
Moyers, McCowan start at forwards
Llewellyn, Alexander ,a n d
Clark are all scheduled for
starting assignments. Rounding
out the first team will be for-
wards Mike Moyers and Denny
McGowan.
Moyers (6-3) is big, strong,
and fast. He has learned how
to use his strength under the
boards and should help Alexan-
der with the rebounding chores.
Moyers' major problem is er-
ratic scoring, collecting any-
where from two to twenty points
per game.
At the other forward spot is
Denny McGowan (6-2), a much
improved ball player. Possessed
with good jumping ability, he
has adopted a more aggresive
nature under the boards. He has
good moves and has improved
on his outside shooting.
Mitchell, Meyers Head Reserves
Heading the substitutes are
Danny Mitchell and Gary Mey-
ers. Mitchell is the mos,t im-
proved player on the team. A
good jumper and rebounder,
Mitchell's major deficiency lies
in lack of experience.
Meyers is a 5-8 guard who
will see much action. He has

Heading the team was Mary-
ville's quarterback, Benny Mon-
roe. Monroe led the Scots in
rushing with 363 yards and in
.passing with 671 yards on 33
completions in 62 attempts. Car-
son-Newman's coach Bob Davis

small college quarterback, deser-
ving the highest possible hon-
ors."

much duty. Tom Ellis, Benny
Headrick, James Hogue, and
Jeff Slagle round out the team.
Success is Possible
The prospects of the team do
not merit excessive optimism.
However, pessimism is not in
order either. There are several
factors that could give the squad
a winning record.
The first of these is the need
to develop a strong floor leader.
Without the benefit of scholar-
ships. Maryville is consistently
outclassed man per man. If the
team is to compile a winning
record, they will have to be a
strong and closely knit unit,
under the direction of a single
play maker.
The second quality that must
be developed is a combination of
pride, confidence, and desire.
These three elements trans-
formed a group of outweighed
football players into one of the
finest small college teams in the
South.
ilf the basketball squad can
develop this quality, it is cap-
able of posting a respectable re-
cord.

A Very
Merry Crispness
For those so deeply involved
in the pursuit of academic excel-
lence that they*\e lost all track
of time, we point out. with re-
luctance, that there are only five-
more -waiting-davs til Christmas
vacation, a fact easily verified
by the nearest calendar and lor
freshman.
Although ihi? is cause for joy
in most circles, there are certain
inherent dangers in going-home-
for-Christmas that need be
brought to the general attention.
The acclimation to the home
environment is a vigorous pro-
cess, and has brought disaster to
many. Seniors well remember the
tragic case of Bob Orr. who. on
Christmas Eve of 1961. tied up
Holland Tunnel traffic for fully
three hours while he hid under
the dashboard of his car, con-
vinced that the toll collector was
the Dean of Men, out to get him
for dating a girl w ithout car per.
mission.
Fortunately, he soon recalled
that she was his mother.
There are rew ards to the read-
justment proceSvS, however. Think
of faking your date home with
no thought of burglar alarms,
and without the strong glare of
the New Dorm anti-rape lights.
On the other hand, brace
yourself for drastic variation in
food; only the well-prepared
can steel themselves to facing
Sunday supper over a plate,
rather than a bag. But then you
could always convince yourself
that you had donated yours to
the Adam Clayton Powell retire-
ment fund, or some other worthy
cau.se.
A trip to town will also re*
quire adjustment. That fancy
two-step you perfected in down-
town Maryville, while dodging
the frequent misfi rings at the
Saturday afternoon meetings of
the Sons of the Confederacy and
Cuspidor, is likely to prove a bit
conspicuous in, say, Bayonne,
New Jersey, or Youngstown,
Ohio.
Still. Maryville does have its
advantages. The grand exalted
umlaut and the K.K.K. at the
gates proved no addition to cam-
pus beauty, but then neither were

$30,000 grant
The Lilly Endowment. Inc., of
Indianapolis, Ind., has made a
grant of $30,000 to Maryville
College for use in a "Visiting
Scholar and Faculty Improve-
ment Program," according to an
announcement today by Mary-
ville President; Joseph J. Cope-
land.
The program provides finan-
cial resources to bring selected
scholars from other colleges and
universities to the Maryville cam-
pus to participate in its academic
program, or to send members of
the Maryville faculty to other
institutions for advanced study
under one or more of these men.
To begin second semester
The sciiujars involved in the
program come from twenty-nine
educational institutions, includ-
ing several in foreign countries-
such as England, Italy, and Ger-
many. The College may invite
them to come to Maryville as
lecturers, visiting professors for
a semester or a year, and con-
sultants to individual faculty
members, or to participate in
conferences, symposiums, de-
bates, and special summer session
programs. Or Maryville profes-
sors themselves may do research
and advanced study under one
or more of the designated
scholars.
No time limit exists for ex-
penditure of the grant. Plans are
now being formulated, and in-
dividual scholars are being
chosen for participation in the
Maryville program. It is expect-
ed that beginning phases of the
program will be under way in
the second semester of the cur-
rent academic year.
Copeland comments
In commenting on the grant,
President Copeland said,
"We are most grateful to have
this grant at this particular time
because it becomes a part of our
Development Fund Campaign,
which will come to a close on
Ian. 1, 1965. Included in this
program was a sum for improve-
ment of Faculty preparation for
which the Lilly Endowment grant
will be applied directly."

work as secretary for Park John-
son who is with the American
Mission School.
} 'iss Hunter had originally
planned to go to India to work
for Dorothy Ferris, M. D., at the

After leaving Maryville, Miss
Hunter stayed in New York for
two days to do some sightseeing.

Alpha Gamma Sigma
scholarship winner
named
Miss Louise Crawford, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mfs. Hugh Craw-
ford, is the holder this year of
the annual Alpha Gamma Sigma
Scholarship Award.
The award is made possible
by the alumni members of the
Maryville College scholarship
honor society. They have pro-
vided a fund to establish a
scholarship which is awarded to
the incoming Junior with the
highest scholarship record in his
class and who is judged superior
in character, campus citizenship,
and leadership.
The 32nd annual presentation
by Maryville College of Handel's
"Messiah" will be at 3 p.m. Sun-
day, December 13. in the chapel.
Dr. Harry H. Harter, fine arts
department chairman, will direct
the chorus of 262 voices and 13
soloists and the 40-piece College-
Community Orchestra.
The work is divided into three
parts. Part I is the prophecy
and the nativity; Part II the
crucifixion and resurrection, end-
ing with the "Halleujah
Chorus"; and Part III is the
promise of immortality. Because
the total work is considered too
long for a single presentation,
almost all of Part I will be per-
formed along with most of Parts
II and III. The final choruSj
"Worthy Is the Lamb," will be
sung, followed by the conclud-
ing "Amen Chorus."
Members of the music faculty
taking part include Dr. James
B I o y, organist, Mrs. Sallie
Schoen, harpsichordist, Kent Per-
ry, concertmaster, and Mrs. Lin-
da Perry, pianist.
The annual presentation of the
"Messiah" for many years has
drawn capacity crowds, and the
1200-seat chapel in recent years
been overfull, with extra seating
in the aisles and narthex.

Lip service
Well, there is a varietx of things we could say. like Boy. we can
hardly wait for Christmas vacation; or Boy, we can hardh wait for
independent study to be finished; or Boy, we can hardK wait for
Mama's cooking; or Boy, we can hardly wait to get drunk.
But we think probably the more mature thing to do would be
to look upon it all as worthwhile, even if the temptation i.« to cry,
Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
After three-two weeks at home, we shall long for the first chapel
service and the welcome by Dr. McClelland (don't misunderstand —
we like our home, but we like Dr. McClelland too).
Tomorrow we will hear The Messiah for the seventli year
straight. TTiat is, we will have either heard or have sung in it for
seven straight years. Thi* year we hear. There is probably no other
occasion we await with so much eagerness or regret so much its
being over. Don't miss it. Go.
We have noticed what looks like repair work being done on thp
Fine Arts Center. This too we have awaited eagerly. W^e didn't
mean to get into this, but we do think it's shameful to let a building
which is, at least architecturally, so good, become so worn.
We would like to apologize for the mistake in Echo last week.
We don't know how we got the impression that Mr. McAndrews was
speaking in chapel. We caused some people some embarrassment,
which we regret. We do realize the importance of reporting the
Christmas Gift.

A Lesson
by Sandra Chittick
Christmas Vespers had ended and
an enthHsiastic group walked to the
Sunnybrook area to do a Christmas
good deed. The notes were sour,
however, as lights snapped off,
doors slammed, a man menaced,
and a car zoomed past. The "Christ-
mas spirit" was sobered, replaced
by a new realization as the poor
little rich kids trudged back to the
safety of the Hill.

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor:
On reading in ''Plii NuttV ol

needy families "a trul) merry
Chrislmas" by means of (Ihrisl-
mas baskets, the idea was
brought home again that such
gestures are just so mucli . . .
jiuperficiality.
However noble the thought, il
is along the same lines as tne
Christmas caroling fiasco in the
Sunnyhrook area. Speaking as a
member of a family that has
been at times (to our surprise)
on the receiving end of such
charitable Christmas baskets, my
reactions to them have been those
of mild resentment and amuse-
ment at the feeble efforts of do-
gooders. I can only imagine th(
I)
intensification of such feelings
on the part of those whose situa-
tion is so much worse.
I have no right to be critical
f people with good intentions:
I can only say that we should
be thinking of ways to get down
to the basics in trying to solve
cuch problems as poverty. I'm
not offering any suggestions,
only asking for some.
Sincerely.

Such lines "Baird's optimism

of the fact that only three letter-
men return from last year's

perience in working the center

"'Moyers' major problem is er-
ratic scoring"': and "A good

chell's major deficiency lies in
lack of experience" are anything
but praiseworthy and speak only
of the ignorance of their author.
Since there is not a byline to
the article. I cannot be sure Mr,
Jerome wrote it; but that is not
important: what is important is
that the author develop a decent
attitude before he again attempts
to report on anything, whether
il be basketball or basket weav-

There is an old song which
might well serve as a rule of

is. "If you can't say good things

Talented Fresh Strengthen Wrestling Team
Blessed with a wealth of ta-
lented newcomers and a solid
core of veterans. Coach J. D.
Davis" 1964-65 edition of tlie
Maryville College wrestling team
promises to be one of the strong-
est in recent years.
The strong freshman turn-out
helps, in part, to compensate for
the loss of several key perform-
ers in the 1963-64 season who
were counted on to head this
years squad.
Roy r^ies. Gary Hall. Van
Pallas, and Joe Kucinski are all
established performers who did
not return. Hies. Hall, and Kuc-
inski won medals in the SEC
tournament last year.
Wilie Heads 115 Class
In the 115 class. Coach Davis
will have Tom Wilie. Wilie re-
ported to the team several weeks
late and is not yet in top con-
dition. However, he is hard
worker and is learning rapidly.
He is a conservative wrestler,
but could develop into a finf
grappler.
Henderson Better than Baxter
John Henderson. the 123
pounder, is the best of the
newcomers. Bringing four year?,
of high school experience with
him. he is fast and knowledge-
able, but must learn to adapt to
the style of college wjestling.
It is inevitable that he will be
compared with Jim Baxter, one
of the great wrestlers in Mary-
ville College history. Coach Da-
vis slates that Henderson at
prest>nt is better than Baxter,
when the three time SEC champ-
ion was a freshman.
Johnson Brings Experience
The 130 pound (lass is headed
by yet another freshman —
Ralph Johnson. Johnson also
brings four years of experience
to the team. The Long Island
freshman is another conservative
wrestler who would rather ride
a man for a victory by poir.ls
than lake a chance on a pin.
He had a string of 26 victories
that stretched back to his sopho-
more year in high school before
he lost a close decision at Appla-
chian last week. Johnson will be
backed up b) Ste\e Hodgson and
John Mullendore.
Lettermen Mitchell Heads 137 Class
Will Mitchell, a letterman, will
be the Scots* representati\e in
the 137 pound class. According
»o Davis. Mitchell has great po-
tential. He is fast, experienced
and aggressive. Futhermore, he
has dropped debate so he may
devote full time to developing
his skills on the mat.
Behind Mitchell are Dale Hud-
ler, a veteran with three years'
experience who will win many ex-
hibition bouts, and Gene Keeler.

had not counted on before.
Scots Split First Two Matches
The Scots have alreadv had
I wo matches this year. In their
first encounter, they defeated
Milligan Colleges 26 to 8. They
were less fortunate in their se-
cond match, losing to Appalachi
an State. 25 to 3.
Johrv Henderson copped the
only victory for the Highlanders.
However, the meet with Appala-
chian was far closer than the
lop-sided score would indicate
In almost every class, only a few
points separated the two wrest-
lers. After the match, the Ap-
plachian coach told Davis thai
the current crop of Maryville
wrestlers is "the strongest team
Maryville's ever had."
Coach Davis himself has said
that the team this year "is better
than it was at the close of the
season last year." The overall
outlook is bright. Coach Davis'
gfraDplers should present the
college with the finest team it
has had in recent years.
only drawback is that he doesn't
take full advantage of his vast
knowledge of holds.
Nichola> will be pushed by
Don Shields, a letterman. Shields
is anothei wrestler with a good
knowledge of holds, pins, and
reverse. Because he has not been
able to beat Nicholas. Shields is
v\ resiling at 167 at present.
Although he is extremely ag
gressive. Shields is not big enougl
for this weight class, and ought
to be in the 147 pound division
O'Bryan, Cehman struggle at 177
Pat 0*Br\an and Carl Geh
are battling for the 177 pouna
berth. ()'Br\an is not exception
ally big. fast, or .-strong. However,
he has a good mental attitude
and works fairly hard, giving
him the edge o\er Gehman ir
the division.
(iehman is exceptionally strong
and is learning fast. He will
make ORr^an work to keep his
top rating. John Forgdty al^c
wrestles in the 177 pound divi
sion.
Abbot — Best on Team
Clint Abbott, co-captain of the
football team, is the 191 pound
er on the team. According t(
Davis, Abbott might be- the bes'

The Maryville College basket-
ball team got off to a poor start,

Davis feels that Dixon ought to
be at 137. he will give anyone
in tne hea\ ier weight class a
tough battle with his aggressive
style. Hal Shultz. Lee Davis, and
George Patton will back up Dix-
on.
Frosh Nicholas Top Grappler
Bob Nicholas, another excel-
lent freshman prospect, is the 157

JFast and a good rider. Nicholas'
Scots Outclassed by Shorter
Against Shorter, the Scots
were plainly outclassed. Pitted
against much taller opponents,
Maryville was unable to keep
Shorter off the boards, and the
Georgia team moved to a solid
74-30 victory.
Mike Moyers paced the Scots
with seven points. He was fol-
lowed by Dave Alexander who
tallied six.
Show Improvement Against Berry
The Maryville squad did con-
siderably better against Berry.
Running their shuffle offense
against Berry's man to man de-
fense, the Scots came on with
a surge just before half-time to
take the lead and then lose it
by one point on a last-second
basket.
In the second half, the Georgia
school put on a spurt and pulled
away from the Highlanders to
register a 54 to 38 victory.
Moyers, Alexander Top Scorers
Once again the Maryville
team was led by Moyers in scor-
ing. The senior history major
netted 12 points. Alexander and
Bob Clark followed Moyers in
scoring, collecting 8 and 7 points
respectively.
Clark also did a fine job
directing the Scots' offense
against the zone thrown up by
Berry in the second half.

man on the team. He is fast,

Abbott reported late because
of the football season, and he
has not yet rounded into shape.
When he does this and moves
down into the 177 pound class
where he does his best work, Ab-
bott's experience and terrific
determination will make him
one of the top Scot performers.
Pryor Shows Improvement
Another football star, Jim
Pryor, handles the heavyweight
duties. Pryor went out for the
first time last year to fill a gap
in the top division. Short on ex-
perience, Pryor had a rough
season. '
However, he has made greai
strides over the year and will
surprise many of his heavy-
weight foes. Againsf Milligan,
for example. Pryor lost by a
pin last year. In this year's en-
counter, the Milligan heavy-
weight was fortunate to win. top
ping Pryor by a single point.
When Pryor rounds into shape,

It has been supposed in the
past that all Maryville alumni
had either died or entered the
ministry or some other form of
poverty. Until recently, the alum-
ni was made up of those few
who miraculously appear at the
annual barbecue, with perhaps
a few relatives included.
But concepts change, and this
one was destroy/ed by a little
over a million dollars.
The successfully completed and MikeMoyers.
financial campaign, ended last
year, represents the first such
extensive canvass of alumni.
The results of this wide appeal
surprised and gratified: obvious-
ly a large block of alumni are
still clinging to life.
But their hold on their wallets
seemed less secure, and their
checks and old coins (two tin
cans of Spanish doubloons were
reported) made up a substantial
portion of the campaign funds.
The success of this campaign
MC raises over $1,000,000
With over $1,000,000 recorded by the end of he year, Mary-
ville College is well "over the top" in its $920,000 Development
Fund Campaign, according to an announcement made January 5 by
D. W.. Proffitt, general chairman of the special drive.
"Late pledges or gifts are still being counted, but the figure
now stands at $1,014,875 in this phase of the college's over-all
effort," Mr. Proffitt said.

2-The Highland Echo, January 23, 1965
Lip service
The time of reckoning approacheth. It is, at least, disconcerting
to think about it. Exam week is usually thought of as a week of
little sleep, black coffee, short tempers, active nerves, and concentra-
tion.
Nobody wants final exams. Who thought them up, anyhow?
(Once upon a time there lived in the woods . . .) Why doesn't the
teacher cover only the material since the last test? (Still, some
teachers would be covering the whole semester.) Why can't we have
an honor system so we can leave and have a smoke? (It's a long
way back to the dorms.) Why can't we have free chapel cuts during
this week? (We need to pray.) Why must final exams count 1000
points? (Somebody up there checks on those people.)
But don't be too hard on the teachers. They are a part of it.
They go through a lot: think of reading all those papers; think of
assessing the knowledge of all those students; think of writing the
grades on all those grade slips. They work, too.
And after only a week, it's all over. We breathe freely for three
days, and then we start anew. There'll be the delightful preliminaries
of registration.
It'll take us all about a month to get behind again.
It's the people here at MC that make the place. These people
have at lot. If we developed individual relationships with some of
them we might learn something.
But we don't notice people as individuals. We don't know why,
but we know it's true. Certainly, unfortunately, we know the vital
info on each other. We walk past someone, and we think. There
goes the MKAKABKJAKS president.
We don't know the people. The real people. And that's a Fault.
MC, Conf. from Page I
came possible early last summer
when Algie Sutton of Greenville,
South Carolina, gave $250,000
with the understanding that, in-
cluding this sum, the $920,000
goal would be met by January
1, 1965.
He pledged an addittional
$250,000 on the basis of total
alumni giving reaching $500,000
during the campaign and bey-
ond. The last four weeks of the
campaign especially brought in
many sizeable contributions and
much of the giving was in res-
ponse- to the challenge by Mr.
Sutton, President Copeland point-
ed out.
The campaign just concluded
constitutes Phase II of " a
$7,000,000 development pro-
gram. Its success has boosted the
decade total well over the
$3,300,000 mark toward the total
goal without Mr. Sutton's second
commitment of $250,000.

Wonderful fields that
stretched as far as little eyes
could see; stretching as far as
need be for little ey/es to see what
little minds conceived.
Battlefields and forts yester-
day, and on the brink of to-
day . . . what?
And tomorrow . . .
Enough! The world of the wee
is now or nevier. Always building
today on yesterday for today's
sake, not for the sake of tomor-
row. Live now for now and
build the forts and fly the kites
and shoot the tigers . . .
I tugged at the sliding lock
and pulled at the door that stuck
with the dampness of springtime.
I bounded down the steps pre-
pared for a search, but stopped
at the bottom and paused to un-
wind, for there they were.
I can see them now, black as
Hallowe'en shadows, tall as
chimneys and big enough for
two explorers to wear. Rubber
knee-boots that my father wore
whenever he shoveled water
from our cellar. Knee-boots for
my dad but hip-boots on me;
explorer's boots, hunter's boots,
general's boots — wonderful,
wonderful, wonderful boots.
An on this day the boots were
big enough for a sailor. They
patiently plodded through fields
that today were long, white, rip-
pling sand beaches. They pro-
tected the sailor from the gritty
grains of "sand" as he walked
to the sea.
And on this day the pond was
bigger than it had ever been
by Dave Powell
before. Today it stretched over
the horizon and out of sight, and
the fields that were limitless tlie
day before were now a respect-
able size for any seashore.
The sailboat sailed straight
and true across the pond past
sunken logs and pirate ships.
The winds came and the waves
rose to furious heights that
threatened to overturn the craft.
The ocean roared and the
elements battered the ship relent-
lessly.
All day the storm attacked.
All day long sharks swam just
below the surface waiting for
the sailors to lose footing. Even
as the sun was setting in the
West the pirates boarded and
raised the jollyroger and fought
fierce battles in the crow's nest
and in the hold and made the
captain walk the plank.
Or so it was to me.
From not too far away came
the voice with the laughter and
happiness in it; the siren who
beckoned the sailor to his des-
truction; the voice from the
mouth that smiled at what the
grown-up eye saw, what the
grown-up mind perceived —
the little field and the little pond
that scrinched its face at the
orange sun that sank in the
West that framed the little boy
that wore the big, big boots
that dragged the boat toward
bedtime and dreams.
— " and home is the sailor,
home from the sea."
— and so it was for me.

SEEN
A Lesson on How to Shock an Audience
PART THE FIRST: "A Phoe-
nix Too Frequent" (Christopher
Fry.) When performed as a
reading in the Salt Cellar last
fall, "Phoenix" was a delightful
little story of attempted seduct-
ion. As performed on the MC
stage it was unconvincing.
All the actors seemied to re-
cite their lines, and this, com-
bined with a lack of eye con-
tact and Tegeus' nervousness,
was annoying. The attitude of
the three toward the wine flask
which they bandied about is
partidly representative of the
effect of the play, as is the
chess-like determination with
which each considered his com-
ing stage directions, while the

action was elsewhere.
Joanne Gidley was perhaps
the best of the thriee actors. She
showed an, adequate grasip of
her part (Doto), but the rapid-
ity with which she spoke de-
tracted from the effectiveness of
her characterization. Her pro-
jection was also a bit below par,
but her interpretation was ripe
with possibilities.
PART THE SECOND: "Escu-
rial" (Michel de Gherolde)
was the deepest play of the even-
ing, and the choice of the two
principals was admirable. Dale
Schellenger played the part ol
the old, vengeful king well, but
his make-up was inadequate to
his characterization. This and
his occasional lapses into his own
voice timbre were the onh
points of criticism of an other-
wise effective job. David Powell,
as the King's Fool, w a 5

thoroughly revolting in his im-
personation of a dog and cap-
tured the Fool's pathos with ac-
curacy. The main point of criti-
cism in this play deals with the
two minor characters, who at
times seemed to be hesitant and
uncertain about what they were
doing.
PART THE THIRD: "Hello
Out There" (William Saroyan)
supplied all the profanity for
the evening and in doing so
left itself open to charges of
sensationalism. To be sure, the
play is rough and southwestern,
but the characterizations were
not such as to support the langu-
age that was sometimes used.
The high point of this present-
ation was the manner in which
David Armentrout (The Young
Gambler) and Margaret Shaklee
(The Girl) played to each other,
laying the foundation for a
somewhat better performance
than each gave individually.
Mr. Armentrout could have been
somewhat more greasy in appear-
ance; he also has a certain pout
with which he imbues his Hnes.
Miss Shaklee, retaining her sen-
sitivity, could have interpreted
her part in a more lascivious
manner. David King was repul-
siv(ely satisfying as The Hus-
band, and it is unfortunate that
his crassness did not permeate
ihe whole play.
PART THE FOURTH: Aria
Da Capo" (Edna St. Vincent
Millay) Of all the paired char-
acters who appeared during the
evening, Lin Allen's Columbine
and Keith Jones' Pierrot were
the best. Nibbling a nonexistent
macaroon and bubbling gaily.
Miss Allen was a tastefully
frothy bit of nothing, and Mr.
Jones' suave, procuring Pierrot
took every possible advantage of
her f riskiness. Although the.
other actors were not so excellent
as these two, the direction of
the play was generally sufficient
to make up for whatever defi-
ciencies they had.
Two years ago, I returned
from the Theatre of the Absurd
thoroughly stunned by what I
had seen. This year's efforts
were not to that standard, and
although the program was, ad-
mittedly, an (example of student
directing, I returned from the
Theatre no more convinced than
when I had left of a philosophy
which I find rather incomplete
anyway.

Scot Cagers Take Third
In Florida Tournament Play
The Mary vi He College basketball team won its first game of the
season and copped the third-^place trophy in the Suncoast Classic
Tournament held on the eigth and ninth of January in St. Peters-
burg, Florida.
The Scots gained their victory in the second game, but they
played their finest basketball in losing to tournament champion
Charlotte College in the opening game. With center Dave Alexander
scoring eight points and guard Jack Llewellyn hitting for eleven,
the Maryville team held a 32:22 edge at half-time. Coach Baird re-
ported that the team played "nearly perfect ball" in the first half
of the game. The North Carolina school, however, gained momen-
tum in the second half, scoring 46 points while the Scots were able
to add only 22 to their total, and the game ended with Charlotte
holding a 68.55 advantage. ||ff g,t|g„ Ljje tO

The Care
ond Feeding of
Academic Dishonesty
There are many ways in
which college professors and
students can aid the cultivation
o f academic dishonesty o r
"cheating," as it is known in the
vernacular. Some of the most ef-
fective ways require little or no
effort on the part of either the
student or the professor.
For instance, there is the mat-
ter of careful proctoring by pro-
fessors during examinations. It
is a well-known fact that such
proctoring aerves to let the stu-
dent know that he is assumed to
have absolutely no personal
honor — certain to foster a
positive attitude on his part.
Futhermore, this practice en-
courages the student to attempt
to outsmart the teacher, to make
sort of a game out of cheating,
so to speak. Of course this ties
in with the traditional concept
that learning can be fun — but
cheating can be even more fun.
The reverse of th«e above situ-
ation also applies, however.
Teachers who are notably lax as
far as proctoring goes have boen
known to be responsible for
some of the more successful ath-
letic pursuits on American col-
lege campuses.
Another excellent aid is the
rather common practice of some
professors to give the same ex-
amination to two sections of the
class — and to give them the
same examination (either thfl
whole or various parts) which
was given the year before, and
the year before, and . . .
This provides not only fertile
ground for academic dishonesty,
but also an opportunity for stu-
dents and faculty members to
work together for a common pur-
pose. Thoughtful students who
save examinations and pass them
on to their friends and relatives
are to be commended for their
participation in a worthy cause.
Still another way in which all
members of the • academic com-
munity can spur on the growth
of academic dishonesty is to
realize the impossibility of its
existence in small Christian col-
leges, particular those "nesded
in the anthills of the you-know-
what mountains."
As far as our particular situ-
ation goes, we are pleased to re-
port that steps are being taken
in the right direction, btudents
who are dissatisfied with our
rate of progress are reminded
of the possibility of transferring
to our sister institution located
in the thriving metropolis fif-
teen miles to the north.
Success of
campaign to
be celebrated
Maryville College will hold a
complimentary victory dinner at
7 p.m. on Monday, February 15,
in celebration of the successful
conclusion of the Development
Fund Campaign of 1964. Tlie
dinner will be held in the college
dining hall, with D. W. Proffitt,
general chairman of the cam-
paign, presiding.
Recent gifts to the campaign
have now moved the total to
$1,035,000. Several pieces of pro-
perty received during the cam-
paign period have not been fin-
ally appraised and have not had
their value added to the total.
President Joseph J. Copeiand ex-
pressed hope that the final total
might rise to $1,100,000 when
these items of property are add-
ed.
The successful campaign as-
sures construction of the new
science building, which is already
well into the planning stages. A
contract for the building can pro-
bably be let this summer, and
the facility may be ready for
the 1966-67 academic year.
Lecture Series
features Rojas
Sefgio Rojas, former Cuban
ambassador to Great Britain,
spoke on "The Coming Explosion
in Latin America" as the second
presentation in the Maryville
College Lecture Series Friday,
February 12.
Ambassador Rojas is a director
of the Cuban Center for Studies
of Freedom, a group made up
of Cuban exiles throughout the
world who are waiting for an
opportunity to return to their
native land. He was an early
leader in the revolution which
brought Cjistro to power, work-
ing as a coordinator in Vene-
zuela, where he purchased arms,
raised funds, and sought various
support for the July 26 revolu-
•tionary group.
The same forces which enabled
Castro to gain power in Cuba
are at work in other countries in
Latin America, and Ambassador
Rojas talked about these prob-
lems in his appearance at Mary-
ville College.
Over $1400 pledged
to Fred Hope Fund
The Fred Hope Fund, to be
used this year to support a pro-
gram of training for laboratory
technicians in the Frances New-
ton Hospital in Ferozepore, In-
dia, has pledges totaling
$1,458.60 to date. Students have
also contributed the proceeds
from this year's Bamwarming
and a student dance.
The hospital, which is run by
Dorothy Ferris, '28, has received
over $13,000 in contributions
from Maryville College students
since 1952.

It's great to have a few warm days. It takes away part, at
least, of the weariness of a heavy load of classes. We can hardly lyait
for the rest of the weeks of winter to pass. We expect the dogwoods
to be pretty this year and for the daffodils to stay longer.
We cannot ever, even when we consciously try, remember
when these things come. But this year we do remember that last
spring was not up to par for East Tennessee.
Once we wrote about people who do not care enough to get to
know other people. Since then, we have heard people say how tired
they are of talk about communication. However, we're going to say
some more about it.
We've gotten the idea lately that the greatest infidelity between
a man and a woman is the unwillingness to communicate. And that
this is applicable universally — to the relationship of all men to all
men.
It seems a greater wrong to be stagnant, not trying to grow
in a relationship, than to turn completely to another for affection.
It seems a greater wrong to feign a friendship, but not care to
understand another person, than it is not to know him at all.
This shows an indifference, or apathy — that which our people
are often accused of. Once we thought indifference was sometimes
a good thing — a protection. But now we do not.
Since people are the only physical, tangible, touchable things
that truly matter in world — and only because they have spirits
within — we think it is wrong to treat these people, and our so-called
meetings with them, lightly.

On Wednesday, February 3,
a group of Maryville College stu-
dents and several faculty mem-
bers attended a meeting, in the
Little Chapel, of Maryville com-
munity leaders. The meeting pro-
vided a valuable insight into the
workings of the community.
The speakers of the evening
discussed the topics of urban re-
newal: a plan for public hous-
ing units in Maryville, political
action, and human rights. To
those of us who had heard much
talk on similar subjects before,
nothing new or very radical was
said. And except for the facts
on urban renewal, nothing of a
concrete nature was stated.
However, as an interracial
meeting of Maryville people of
all ages, including many older
ones, this was more than just a
step in the right direction. The
meeting let us know that things
are happening in Maryville, and

The Shuffle Is a basic part of the offensive system of the Maryville
College basketball team. Used against man-to-man defenses, the shuffle
is designed to separate three men from their defenders through a series of
screens, or. picks.

from a basic 2-1-2 offensive set-up. Guard A passes the bail to forward

Second Thoughts On
Cosmozoic Theory
Early one morn, while dank vapors
still held the emerging sun from
the swamp, the following missive
was found impaled, by means of a
rosewood peg, on the stockade door
of Fort Mudge. A faint spoor trailed
back into the marsh, the odor as of
a long-dead armpit wafted on the
wind. From afar ! heard the faint
ticking of a visceral clock.
Know that:
all is wonder in the world: event
confounds logic: reason is a har-
lot: and crocodiles are among
you smiling in the sun blinking
lazily: beware lest these same
devour you in the slime at the
river's bottom . . .
all is wonder in the world: mad-
ness is called respectability and
idiocy pretends to profundity:
a weed grows to poison the lungs
with smoke and the counterparts
of howland owl advance the
cause of scholarship for the
benefit of grasping lumbermen
everywhere: beware the footnot-
ing crocodiles . . .
all is wonder in the world: the
spewed venom of many wombs
stumbles chemically stupored of
fermented harvests: beware in
the month of twenty-eight of
crocodiles lisping in learned or
humble accents of a nowhere
light ...
all is wonder in the world: the
cripple's crutch stumbles to leap :
winds of doctrine and doctrines
of wind enjoy the periodicity
of a return to the mumblings of
that inarticulate guildsman's son :
beware the crocodiles who bear
the aegis and their sucklings that
nominate in darkness . . .
all is wonder in the world: in
the land of darkness jaundice
lurks grey in the wings dedalus
fashioned for the disciples of
Euphues that know no word for
falsehood near at hand: the
sword of fire blinds the dotter-
ing to the day and bitter virgins
sow thorns and waste the land:
beware for the crocodiles read
and find their way with jaded
eyes . . .
all is wonder in the world: janus
thinks that it was he that pulled
the sword from stone and made
the table round a place of won-
der: his umble manner speaks
him out a scaly beast: beware
lest the tower crocodiles refuse
to swallow the wet bird thai
flies at night ...
all is wonder in the world . . .
Total pledges and gifts in the Maryville College development
campaign just concluded are $1,053,405, it was announced February
15, 1965, by Dr. Joseph J. Copeland at the victory banquet.
President Copeland also an-
nounced plans for a total of seven
new dormitories on the Maryville
College campus, four for women
and three for men. In the dormi-
tory program, the present Bald-
win Hall, a women's residence
will eventually be razed. A new
science building was the goal
of the campaign just completed;
plans for a new student center
were announced.

Faculty salaries rise
In addition to the plans for
new buildings, President Cope-
land pointed out that the amount
of money spent for faculty
salaries at Maryville College has
almost doubled since 1958-59,
and that the salary scale will
continue to rise.
Maryville College, at the be-

for the company
The spectrophotometer, used
primarily for instruction and in-
vestigation in organic chemistry,
determines the material being
tested by use of infrared rays,
recording the results in a series
of lines which have to be inter-
preted.
The second piece of equip-
ment, the flame photometer, to be
used in advanced analytical work,
cost $1100 with its recorder.
According to Dr. Fred A. Grif-
fitts, chairman of the chemistry
department, the aquisition of
these instruments will "provide
students with the opportunity to
use and be familiar with cur-
rent means of chemical study
and investigation."

2-The Highland Echo, February 20, 1965
Lip
service "^
Several mornings ago we were walking across campus. We
noticed that there were all sorts of paper lying on the ground. We
thought how unusually ugly it looked.
Not more than ten minutes later we ran into a friend, w*ho
asked us to take a walk to see the mess.
Thus we were prompted to write this. Our campus is a beautiful
one, and it is well taken care of by the maintenance department. It's
ridiculous for people our age to throw paper on the ground and
ridiculous for men to waste their time picking it up.
We recently got a magazine put out by Dare Publications,
called Dare. It is a picture mtigazine with little narrative.
It is good. It presents a challenge for men to dare to be great —
not just successful, but great in the present revolution of the world.
It reminded us of the phrase from a hymn we sing often: "Oh
for Christ at least be men."
In some class recently we talked about daring to be different,
to be an unusual, dynamic personality. It was pointed out that men
are no longer this way.
We always are a little turned off by these generalities, but it
may be true that men are less individual — there are fewer men
with the inner strength it takes to adventure.
Because we constantly get mail containing information on work
for better race relations and for bettering conditions of proverty, we
wonder why more people don't become involved in it.
More about communication.
In a discussion about this the other day the question of
protection came up. That is, protection from being hurt by other
people.
We think that no one deserves this. We don't believe one is
a bigger person because he closes off communication, is unhurtable,
closes off response to things outside himself and thus within himself.
And men do not deserve protection by others, a buffer between
him and any of the numerous painful things which we are subject
We should condition ourselves to living in the world today, no
matter what be our personal principles, our religious belief, our
background.
Certain things are unlikely to change, and the first that comes
to mind is the old idea, change itself. So we must learn to give and
take, be flexible, roll with the punches.

"The Virgin Spring"
to be presented
by MC playhouse
The Maryville College Play-
house will sponsor the showing
of Ingmar Bergman's "The Vir-
gin Spring" on Friday evening,
February 26, in the Theatre.
The film is based on a medie-
val folk song, "The Daughter of
Tore of Vange." The song was
romantic in origin, but gained
the character of a legend and the
connection with spring and the
chur<^hin Scandinavia.
According to the legend, a
young virgin, Karin, was raped
and killed on her way to church
by three herdsmen. The story is
a primitive drama of violence
and revenge, put into a Christian
setting.
The Fire Drill
by Norman Cleesattel
It was night, and in the dark-
ness things were as usual. Then
sirens disrupted the regularity
and rumbling fire engines
charged the indifference of Car-
negie Hall. From everywhere
young men poured into the halls
and out the doors in a mad dash
for Baldwin. They flowed to
where the engines were but there
was no fire. As the girls trundled
n\\\ in mr»Hpv nttir** fl fpw iibpft
issued forth but momentum was
at slack tide and the shout for a
panty raid voiced by a few die-
hard agitators failed to strike a '
sympathetic note in the crowd.
Someone said how funny it was
that Carnegie had emptied before
Baldwin, chuckled, and turned as
if some mute signal were given
that it was over.
by Davo PoMrell
Marvin was a pussycat. Indeed he was sr ver) exceptional
pussycat as far as pussycats go, and some of them can go pretty far
because I know of a little old lady in Toronto who had one that
walked 900 miles — but that's another stor) .
To begin with. Marvin was neat. He alwa>s licked his feet after
every me'al and brushed himself against a tree or somebody's leg
whenever he had been lying in the grass. I might add here that Marv
(for that is what his best friends called him) congenitally thought
of his paws as feet, and because of this idiosyncrasy, everyone who
knew him was careful to refer to them a? such. In fact it was never
said that he wore white boots — he wore sneakers instead and lo\V-
cuts at that.
Secondly Marv was courteous. He was careful to show those
little white feet of his to anyone he walked past because except
for those feet, Marv was otherwise a "dark black," and he never
really wanted to frighten anyone. Moreover, he always played with
mice before he ate them.
Then too for a pussycat he was amazingly unselfish. As a lot,
pussycats are known for their independence and aloofness. Marvin,
on the other hand, never lost an opportunity to put himself last.
Marv was always the last to go out in the rain or the last to go
down into a dark cellar or the last to say anything mean about any-
body (which may be stretching the point a little since he couldn't
talk anyway).
Now that I've begun this story I might as well tell you the( whole
truth. You see. Marvin wasn't always exceptional and neat and
courteous and selfless. No sirree! When he was just a kitten he
would roll in the dirt and never bother to lick himself off. He would
dash in front of visitors to our house and scare them clean fierce.
On special days like Christmas or Sunday he would drag old moth-
eaten rats or moles right in where everyone was eating turkey or
chicken giblets gravy on rice. When people would go into the cellar
Marv would leap ahead of them causing whoever it was to fall the
rest of the way down the steps. Also, no amount of badgering could
ever get him to come out unless he felt like coming.
Marvin was a mess.
It comes back to me now just as clear as if it happened yester-
day.
Mom was hanging up clothes in the yard, and Marv was help-
ing her by pulling her shoestrings loose with his teeth and claws,
pretending, like the rascal he was, to be playing. On one swing he
missed the shoelace and latched onto an ankle instead which caused
Mom to leap some distance into the air and tip over the hanging
basket of clothespiiis which fell as a wooden rainstorm smack on
Marvin's head.
When he tried to stand up he fell on his back instead, and his
feet went straight up in the air, then he rolled over on his other
side. His face suddenly contorted in a grimace and I knew then
and there that he was in the rinse cycle. I found myself looking
forward to spin dry. When his legs went back and forth in a run-
ning motion, and since he was really on his side, and he just spun
around and around on the ground, I took it as a confirmation of my
suspicions.
After he quieted down I had half a notion fo hang him up on
the line by his tail, hut I figured he had had enough humiliation
in one day for a passle of pussycats so I quietly walked away. When
I came back later he was gone.
Next day around suppertime there was not the usual scratching
at the door. I figured our boy had probably skipped town rather
than face us again.
However, when I went out to call for him, there he sat calmly
waiting for someone to fill his bowl. He didn't avert his eyes, but
looked straight at me. He certainly wasn't wishy-washy (so to speak)
and 1 knew it took courage to bounce back like that so I nodded in
his direction and went in to get his supper. He accepted fate so
graciously that I think I may have even slipped him an extra spoon-
ful of Puss 'n Boots.
And that is how I got a "new" Marvin.
Slick as goose grease Marv and his pride were in the cellar.
Though he sniffed from place to place like nothing had happened,
inside I knew his composure was all bunged up.
It was twenty minutes before Mom went back into the cellar
for another load of clothes and by then the washer was just clicking
off . . .
Try to imagine opening the top of your automatic washer and
seeing a black (except for the feet) pussycat tangled in the sheets.
Mom just stood there shouting, "Oo-oo-oo-oo," and Marvin opened
his mouth to say heaven knows what but couldn't make a sound be-
cause one of Dad's socks was in his mouth.
Well the best I could figure when Mom called me down to get
him out was that she had forgotten to close the lid, which as you
know prevents the washer from starting, and Ma^^ in his sniffing
was so preoccupied with his feelings that he slipped on the porcelain
into the tub and the lid slammed down starting the cycle.
1 lifted Mary up about as tenderly as you can fondle a soggy
cat, unraveled the sheets and took him outside on the lawn to dry.
Once in the sunshine he just lay there on his side and scrinched his
eyes up so you could see his teeth and you know how rarely you
get to see eat teeth so that was a loss of pride right there. I started
to isusnect rather early in the proceedings an order to the madness
ihat followed, although 1 couldn't tell exacdy what he was thinking
cause he just sorta wheezed a little and looked very mumpish.

The Kappa Phi Titans were
the winners of the Intramural
Vollyball League. The Titans,
who spiked their way to their
second straight undefeated, un-
tied season, posted an 8-0 record.
The Titans have accepted an
invitation from the University
of Tennessee to journey to Knox-

February.
Rich Reed, Rich Marshall, Ray

Howard is the team's captain.
Copeland announces, cont.
that members of the Board gave
$133,146, not including a
$500,000 commitment by Algie
Sutton of Greenville, S. C, and
that the college faculty and staff
contributed another $23,355.
"Mr. Sutton really gave us the
second boost," Gamble added.
"He made a $500,000 commit-
ment of which $250,000 was to
be given on a matching basis in
this campaign for funds for a
science building. The other
$250,000 is to be given when
total alumni giving reaches
$500,000. The $1,053,405 an-
nounced last night does not in-
clude the second $250,000 pledge
by Sutton.
President Copeland pointed
out that alumni participation in
the campaign was over 39 per
cent, a degree of participation
never before reached at Mary-
ville College. He also announced
that in the over-all $7,000,000
campaign, $3,800,000 has been
raised to date, leaving $3,200,000
to be obtained before the end of
the fiscal year 1969.

Gainsborough, who lived from
1727 to 1788, is a well-known
English portrait and landscape
painter. He also was noted for
his truthful likenesses in portrai-
ture, and like Goya, worked verv
rapidly. Many of the great and
near-great of the time sat for
portraits by Gainsborough. His
work has largely been represent-
ed in private collections in Eng-
land and the United States.
The Gainsborough painting

McGowan Paces Cagers; !l«^'^!^<>!''f<'|'T;'l!!*'^'l''''
Scots Take Two Games
Lead Scots Into SEC Finals
A late season surge led by
junior forward Denny McGowan
gave the Maryville College two
victories in their past three
games. The triumphs came at the
expense of Berea College, which
fell by a score of 59-55, and Mil-
ligan College, which lost in the
final second of play, 70-69.
The wins pu^ed the Scots'
st*ason's record to 5 and 14.
Maryvill* 59. Berea 55
The victory over Berea was one
of the most satisfying of the
year for Coach Baird and his
cagers. Still smarting from last
year's 106-39 debacle in which
Berea officials forced four Mary-
ville starters to the bendh on per-
sonal fouls and called five tech-
nical fouls on the Scots, the High-
landers had been waiting for a
chance to gain revenge.
The game started slowly. Un-
able to hit on their outside shots
and hampered by poor rebound-
ing, the Scots scored only 17
points in the first half, while the
Bears were picking up 27.
In the second half, however,
the Maryville squad began to
gain momentum. Led by Denny
McGowan's 15 points, the High-
landers scored a total of 42 tal-
lies. With the score tied, 55 to
55, guard Kip Martin hit on' a
pair of foul s^hots to pull the
Scots into the lead.
A few seconds later two more
free throws clinched the victory
for the Highlanders.
McGowan led all Maryville
scorers with 19 points. He was
backed up by J*ck Llewellyn,
who had 10.
Maryville 70, Milligan 69
The game with Milligan was a
tense one. At the half, Milligan
had compiled a 3 point, 35-32
lead. TTie Scots came on strong
in the second half, however, to
gain the win.
It was again McGowan who
provided the spark. Scoring 17
points after the half-time break,
the 6'2" forward combined with
Jack Llewellyn, Who tallied 10,
DAVE ALEXANDER, Scott' center, baHlet with three Shorter College men
for a rebound. Mike Moyers (50) and Jim Hogue prepare to come to
Alexander's aid.
The Maryville College wrest-
ling team, tuning up for the
rapidly approaching SEC Tour-
nament, won three of their last
five matches. Falling before the
Scot grapplers were Milligan, the
Knoxville Y, and Emory College,
while the University of the South
and Georgia Tech both registered
triumphs over the Highlanders.
Maryville registered a 21-11
victory over Milligan College.
John Henderson, Ralph Johnson,
Will Mitchell, and Carl Gehman
decisioned their opponents, and
Don Shields pinned his man to
pace the Scots' triumph.
The Highlanders continued
their winning ways against the
Knoxville Y. Only WiU Mitchell,
Don Shields, and Carl Gehman,
all of whom tied, failed to score
wins over the Y wresders. Ralph
Johnson and Gene Dixon re-
gistered pins.
Against the University of the
South, the luck of the Scots turn-
ed, and Maryville was turned
back by a score of 20-11. Tlie
Scots got off to a good start
with John Henderson and Ralph
Johnson taking easy decisions.
Will Mitchell continued the
opening success of the two fine
freshman grapplers by pinning
his opponent. However, after
these opening triumphs, the
Highlanders were shut out by the
Sewanee wrestlers.
Georgia T(5ch also defeated the
Maryville team, 20-11. Again
it was Mitchell who topped the
Scots' showing by pinning his
man. Mitchell's success, however,
was no greater than was Mary-
ville's fine 123 pound grappler
John Henderson, who decisioned
last year's 115 pound SEC
champion.
Traveling the few miles from
Georgia Tech to Emory Univer-
sity, Maryville had considerably
more success. John Henderson
and 167 pounder Carl Gehman
scored decisions and the rest of
the Scots all pinned their Georgia
opponents to gain a 36-3 victory.
Another fine freshman, Ralph
Johnson, who wrestles at 130
pounds, topped the Maryville
pins, by forcing his opponent's
shoulders to the mat in one
minute. Will Mitchell and Clint
Abbott also scored their pins in
the first period.
Two more matches are on the
Scots' schedule before the SEC
tournament takes place. The
tournament, which brings the
finest wrestlers from the South
together, will be held at Mary-
ville College this year on the 26
and 27 of February.
to account for all but 11 of
Maryville's second half total.
The heroics, however, belonged
to Mike Dalton. With less than
10 seconds left in the game, the
Milligan squad hung tenaciously
to a 69-68 lead. A last-second
shot by the Buffs was wide and
Dalton pulled down the rebound,
only to be fouled by a too zealous
Milligan forward.
With one second left in the
game, Dalton stepped to the foul
line with a one-and-one situation.
The husky forward sank the first
sihot, pulling the Scots even with
the Buffs.
Dalton's second shot hit the
rim, bounced around, and finally
fell through to give Maryville
their second straight triumph.
McGowan a^ain led all Mary-
ville scorers with 24 points. He
was backed up by Kip Martin
and Jack Llewellyn, who hit for
15 and 10 points respectively.
MaryviHe 60, Centre 70
Hoping to extend their victory
streak to 3 straight, Maryville
took on Centre College. The
Praying Colonels, however, prov-
ed to be too much for the High-
landers.
Leading by 4 points at the
half. Centre overcame another
fine second half performance by
McGowan to outscore the Scots
40-34 and secure a 70-60 tri-
umph.
McGowan's 19 points in the
second half gave him a total of
25, to top all scorers. Dave
Alexander hit for 14.
Sports Focus: Wrestling
Although wrestling has long
been a popular sport at Mary-
ville, there are members of the
student body, especially among
the freshmen, who have never
seen a wrestling match. Several
have expressed their desire for
a brief account of the scoring
rules so that they may under-
stand what is happening. In ans-
wer to these requests the High-
land Echo is running this article
in which these rules will be
listed.
Reversal Worth 2 Points
Ihere are six ways in which
a wrestler may earn points. Ihe
first of these is the take down.
'I'he initial take down is worth
two points, and each succeeding
take down scores one point.
After the take down, the wrest-
ler must maintain control of his
opponent.
If the man on the bottom
frees himself, he is credited with
an escape and one point. If,
however, he manages to gain the
top position and control of his
opponent, he is given two points
for a reversal.
Pin Gets Decision
The most decisive finish to a
match is the pin. There are
several ways, however, in which
a wrestler cannot succeed in pin-
ning his oppoent and still win
points. One of these is the near-
pin.
This is a situation in which
the offensive wrestler has con-
trol of his opponent in a pinning
combination, with both shoulders
or the scapula area held in
contact with the mat for one
full second; or when one shoul-
der of the defensive wrestler is
touching the mat, and the other
shoulder is held within one
inch of the mat for two full
seconds.
A near-fall is worth three
points. Closely connected with it
is the predicament. Awarded
with two points, the predicament
is said to occur when the offer-
sive wrestler has control of his
opponent in a pinning combina-
tion and a near-fall or fall is
imminent.
Riding Time Important
If the match is completed and
the twio wresders are tied, the
decision is determined by riding
time. When a wrestler secures
a position of advantage, he
starts to accumulate time, scor-
ing one point for each minute
of net time advantage. In other
words if one wrestler has "rid-
den" his opponent for one minute
above the time that he has
been "ridden." he wins a
point. Frequently, riding time
is the decisive factor in a match.
SCRAMBLING FOR A LOOSE BALL at midceyrt, three Highlanders struggle with one Shorter player. Although
Mirrounded by Dave Alexander, Mike Moyers, and |im Hogue, the lone Shorter player has only to look a few
feet further for the rest of hit teammates.

Maryville College, .Maryville, Tennessee, 'March 6, '1965
No. 14
by
Mike Moyers
MC holds Fine Arts Festival
in my four years here at
Maryville, student government
has engaged in a constant and
sometimes rather bold dialogue
with the college administration.
Student opinion has been formu-
lated and expressed in many
ways. And its reception has
varied with the time and the
subject. Let's take a few exam-
ples.
In my freshman year, a in-
dent poll taken by every class
showed Maryville College stu-
dents heavily in favor of such
things as Sunday atliletics and
Sunday dating, if these two
activities need separating. These
student ideas spent several
months in a committee, were
evaluated by the students and
faculty miembers, and emerged
as constructive recommendations
for changes in Maryville's social
habits. In sharp contrast to this
meeting of minds was another
major policy change in the same
y'ear. News concerning the end
of the Church Attendance Law
reached most Maryville students
one morning in chapel. The
printed sheets presented us
seemed to be an apology, the
furtive work of a committee that
realized its own heresy. Not that
the change was not appreciated,
but do note the different charac-
ter of the two new policy forma-
tions.
We were told in that first year
of our new president that there
was no area of our campus life
and education which would not
be open to scrutiny. And stu-
dent government began scrutini-
zing almost immediately. Our
discussions in the next two years
took the pattern of council propo-
sals, discussions together, and
administrative rejection. This
form was followed in three
areas: cars for campus students,
the "alcohol situation," and a
proposal for reconstituting the
Discipline Committee. Council's
proposals, very extensive in na-
ture and generally well thought
out, were met with several types
of reaction. There was the
strange feeling implied, from
several sources, that there could
be no other situation for Mary-
ville than the status quo. This
attitude was not predominant,
and most administrators began
patiently to explain just "why
we have found this to be the
best policy here at Maryville."
Very few administrators — and
without a doubt, this is an indict-
ment — viewed these student ex-
pressions as an indication of a
problem ' which needed to be
solved. What was necessary was
not to discover what was right for
the Maryville situation, but to

As you can read elsewhere in the paper, the Echo is returning
to bi-weekly publication. We (the staff) voted last spring to ex-
periment with a weekly paper the firsit semester, but we found it
impractical because of circumstances which seem to be inalterable.
The Echo must pay for itself. We do receive a subsidy from the
students' lictivity fee. but this is not sufficient for our expenses. We
solicit advertising, but we have not been able to get enough ads
consistently to meet these expenses.
When we have gotten the required inches of advertising, there
is not enough space left in which to cover campus activities. So
people complain that the paper is one big ad. Everyone and his
great aunt thinks he knows how to run a newspaper.
The lack of .space has caused the "feature section" to suffer —
in the case of the usual four-page issue, the two inside pages.
So we are returning, regretfully, to a bi-weekly, six or eight-page
paper, hoping to remedy all these situations.
We I the editor) have come to an unfortunate conclusion:
Money makes the world go round.

even enough advertising to pay

This Wednesday a gang of
seniors from Alcoa High School
invaded the Fine Arts Center, not
with the intention of lifting the
Goya, but to put up a display
of their work.
The entire art department of
the Alcoa school system has been
working feverishly to prepare
this exhibit. Mrs. Martha Wright
and some of her more industrious
students have been busy mount-
ing and labelling the work of
almost every student involved in
the art program.
The exhibit includes grades
one through twelve. Variety is
the keynote. Works range from
a first grader's interpretation of
brushing his teeth (which are
represented as long long yellow
fangs — "I didn't have a white
crayon!") to the seniors' execu-
tion of such products as YUM-
VUM Shark Repellent and Pink
Pansy Shampoo.
Marionettes, masks, junk con-
structions, paper mosaics, col-
lages, murals, ceramics and
sculpture are just a few of the
gems which are displayed, and
a doctor from New York! And
the paper was saved by th^e dili-
gent efforts of the regular "ad
man" — Bill Erwin.

The Highland Echo, March 6, 1965-3
Seen and Heard at February Meetings 1965
by Carole Brownlee
Scheduled to appear in the
middle of this month is a long-
piaying riecording by Dr. Edwin
K. Hunter of the English Depart-
ment. Dr. Hunter has chosen to
include some of his favorite
poems from the recently pub-
lished This Mans Art, a book
which collects his poetic work
from a period of 52 years.
The monologue "A Man from
Stratford Entertains Ben Jon-
son" was selected for recording
becau?.? Dr. Hunter considers it
to be his best work. He also
reads his 'Three Sonnets for
E.A.R.' which are dedicated to
Edwin Arlington Robinson, the
man whose work had great liter-
ary influence on the early poems.
Other poems on the record in-
clude the popular parodies, the
catchy haikus. and the familiar
Christmas poems.
Dr. Hunter's colleague, Dr.
Carolyn L. Blair, has written
a short critique which will ap-
pear on the back of the record
jacket along with a biographical
note about the poet. An inter-
esting pen sketch of Dr. Hunter
has been done for the cover of
the jacket by William Swenson
of the Art Department.
Orders for the record are now
being received by Raymond I.
Brahams in the Development
Office, and copies of it will soon
be available.

I can at least repeat the question . . . Talk with your parents?
. . . Nol ... I want to make a comment about tonight's sermon.
What was the title? I forget it ... I seem to have been here three
years . . . Which translated is . . . The old show-me-God bit ... A cock-
tail to face up even to a dinner . . . Mountains of washing she must
move by more than faith . . . Life is beautiful except for one thing:
the hero is miserable . . . Okay, which covers a multitude of ambi-
guities . . . Language, which always reflects souls . . . Homesickness:
cultural shock ... I once had a man in my church who was going
to be a m.inister— but he became a beatnik . . . Beatnik : one who is
trying to fit the square world into the hole in his head . . . Dick, old
man, this is worse than a Calvinistic hell . . . Beatnik, like the Ameri-
can buffalo, with whom there is some resemblance . . . Ever-everland
of sinsick humanity ... My first sermon, which you may not
remember ... It reminds me of some of the art in the Salt Cellar
. . . How did it happen that I became involved in this life? . . .
Four more manuscripts to prove I'm right . . . Why, he's just been
overworked at MC . . . This was the noblest Roman of all ... I'm
an unrepentant Democrat . . . Since I'm so straightforward in my
answers, yes and no ... A Scotsman, by the way . . . Protestants,
Communists, and Masons . . . Then I discovered that there were
more Baptists than people in the U. S. . . . Do not come, as you do
today, of your own free will . . . Whereas Esau was a rough,
bullheaded, athletic brute of a boy, not unknown on university
campuses in the U. S. . . . Now, we don't know what Leah was
like — but she wasn't Rachel ... We climbed the mountains in his
Buick, which is the way to climb mountains . . . Dr. Docherty has
too much Scotch on the ball ... I shall read from Genesis, which
is, you know, a non-controversial book . . . The Lord delighteth not
in the legs of a man ... A plague on both the houses . . . And not
by Albert Camus, by the way . . . Roman Catholic and Southern
Baptist — they're alike: hard-shelled ... I don't think it's a very
pleasant play, sir ... I don't want to think of these naughty
things . . . Ethics on its head . . . The art of winning games without
actually cheating: "Excuse me, old man. Those two men over there
playing chess: are they bothering you?" ... It had marvelous
restorative qualities . . . Leave your sleeping to us . . . What goes
into the assembly line and out the other end only the Lord knows
... I think this community has received me like it does most new
pastors: what the heck? . . . The Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches have long been sending kisses back and forth, but have
never dared to embrace ... In this famous sermon I'm going to
preach tomorrow morning . . . You're just not listening, Watson . . .
To be a Christian is to love a man like Watson; and what is even
more difficult is for him to love me.

Scot CagerS Take Sixth Victory; Johnson comments on wrestling
Martin, Movers Close Careers
by Phil Jerome
Hoping to improve on their
season's record of 5 wins and 16
losses, the Maryville College
baskefball team went on a scor-
ing hinge in the last three games
of the season.
However, ahhough averaging
just under 76 points per contest,
the Scots were able to cop only
one victory, a 79-62 trouncing
of F^mory & Henry in the last
home game of the year. Leaving
their own court, the Highlanders
were less fortunate and dropped
games to Asheville-Hiltmore and
Mars Hill.
Maryville 79, Emory & Henry 62
The 79-62 conquest of Emory
and Henry avenged a loss to the
Wasp squad earlier in the sea-
son. The Maryville (^gers pre-
sented a balanced attack, hitting
for i^9 points in the first half and
scoring 40 in the second.
It was in the first part of the
game that they built up the de-
cisive margin. The Scots were led
in their first half activities by
senior forward Mike Moyers and
guard Jack Llewellyn, each of
whom tallied 8 points.
Kip Martin and Mike Dalton
were close behind Moyers and
Llewellyn as they scored 6 points
apiece. The balanced attack gave
the Scots a 39-24 edge over their
opponents from Virginia.
Maryville continued to have
facility in putting the ball in
Emory and Henry's basket
throughout the second half.
Again it was Moyers who topped
the Scots, hitting for 12 points.
Kip Martin added 10 and Denny
McGowan scored 8.
The Wasps, who nearly matched
Maryville's second half out-
put, were unable to overcome
the margin compiled by the
Highlanders in the first half of
the game, and fell by a score of
79-62.
MARTIN SCORES FOR SCOTS: Senior guard Kip Martin is shown driving
for a basket against the Emory and Henry Wasps in the Scots' last home
game of the season. Martin joined forward Mike Moyers as the two seniors
making their last home appearance. No. 44 is Dave Alexander.
The last home contest of the
season saw two seniors in their
final game before the Maryville uj^ added
fans. Guard Kip Martin and
forward Mike Moyers were mak-
ing their farewell oppearance.
Both seemed to respond to the
stimulus as they led Maryville's
scoring. Moyers had 20 points
while Martin collected 16.
ever, the outcome was ap-
proximately the same with Bilt-
more adding a single point to
their victory margin.
Maryville started off well. Led
()v Denny McGowan's 14 points,
the Scots held a 40-36 lead at
the half time break. The second
half, however, turned out to be
a different story. The Asheville
cagers concentrated their de-
fens;** on McGowan and held him
to a mere 6 points, while the rest
of the Scots were unable to pick
up the slack.
Bikmore overcame the Scots
and pulled away to register a
75-70 triumph. Maryville scorers
were led by McGowan with 20
points, while guard Jack Llewel-
16 to the Maryville
total.
Maryville 70, Asheville- Biltmore 75
The Scots had high hopes of
increasing their winrting streak to
two games when they journeyed
to Asheville. North Carolina, to
meet the Asheville-Biltmore team.
The North Carolina scjuad had
won a close 76 to 72 victory over
the Highlanders earlier in the
season.
When the game was over, how-
Maryville 78, Mars Hill 94
A few miles outside of Ashe-
ville. the Scots ran into one of
the nn)st potent offensives they
had seen all year. The Mars Hill
s«]uad put together halves of 41
and 53 points to leave the Mary-
ville cagers far behind with a
respectable, but inade(]uate. 78

Through the efforts of Mike
Moyers and Denny McGowan.
who scored 10 and nme points
respectively. Maryville trailed by
only six at half time. However,
the Highlanders were unable to
keep up with the torrid pace set
by the North Carolina school in
the last half of action.
Denny McGowan's 17 points
topped all Maryville scorers, al-
tliough Moyers was only a point
behind him with 16. Mike Dal-
ton tallied 14 points for the
Scot's cause.
Scots Show Improvement
The victory and pair of losses
set the Highlanders' season's re-
cord at six wins and 18 defeats.
Although the record is not an
admirable one, it is a. marked
improvement over the 1963-64
season in which the Scots won
only two games. The Highlanders
were also involved in several
close contests in which a fortuit-
ously placed field goal would
have improved their record even
further.
Only two seniors are on the
team — Mike Moyers and Kip
Martin. With Dave Alexander
Dr. Jerry Waters, a former SEC wrestling champion at 123
pounds in 1955 and again in 1956, had words of praise for Mary-
ville's new 130 pound champion, Ralph Johnson. Di. Waters stressed
that Johnson's achievement was made more remarkable by the fact
that he is only a freshman.
The Echo has undertaken to record some of Johnson's feelings
and opinions on his championship match. The interview was held
approximately 24 hours after he had won the title.
ON NERVOUSNESS: "I wasn't nervous .for the tournament. I've
been wrestling so long that I don't get nervous anymore. I get sort of
an electric feeling; it's not butterflies, but my hands get sweaty,
and I want to get out and wrestle."
ON HIS EARLY TAKEDOWN in the championship match with
Georgia's Mike Godewski: "Wrestling is a combination of a lot
of things. It's part desire, part experience, part knowledge, but it's
at least half psychological. I wanted to worry him. That's why I
nailed him in the first seconds."
ON VICTORY: "I took him down early and rode him throughout
the first period. Then I won the toss. That's the first time I've won
the toss in a long time, and I rode him for all of the second period.
It was in the second period that I knew I was going to beat him."
ON THE THIRD PERIOD in which it seemed that Godewski might
pin him: "I'm good friends with Greek (Georgia Tech's 123 pound
champion), and he told me that Godewski is a good rider. I just
tried to stay loose, because I knew that I had him on points. He
(Godewski ) wasn't as close to a pin as it may have looked. I wasn't
worried at all. For one thing, I've never been pinned before. Also,
he only had one arm and 1 knew that for the pin he was trying for
he needed to have both arms."
ON RON PRITTS: "The guy who really did a good job was Ron
Pritts (Maryville's third plafe winner in the 137 pound class). He
was wrestlmg guys who were much heavier than he was. He should
have been in the 123 class. He's one of the smartest wrestlers I've
ever seen. He thinks a lot, and he's always about two or three moves
ahead of his opponent."

Auburn Takes ISth SEC Championship;
Scots' Ralph Johnson Wins 130 Crown
Auburn won its eighteenth
consecutive Southeastern Con-
ference Intercollegiate wrestling
championship here last vveek.
The Tigers swept their way to
four "individual championships
while compiling a total ot 81
team points. Georgia Tech with
56 points was second.
Johnson Leads Scots
Although Maryville finished a dis-
appointing eighth in the ten team
tournament, there were several
bright spots for the Scots' enthu-
siasts. Ralph Johnson headed the
Maryville delegation. By copping the
130 pound division championship,
the freshman grappler became the
first Maryville man to take first
place honors since Jim Baxter ac-
complished the feat in 1962.
Johnson was backed up by
two other newcomers to the
Maryville wrestling scene. Ron
Pritts, a sophomore transfer
student from Syracuse, took
third place in the 137 pound
division, and freshman John
Henderson grabbed another
third place finish in the 115
pound class. The Maryville scor-
ing was rounded out by two-year
veteran Don Shields, who was
fourth at 157 pounds.

Chattanooga's Schach Van Deu-
SCOT FALLS TO GEORGIAN: Maryville's 157 pounder, Don Shields, is shown here in his match with

Compliments
of
Winning five of their last seven
meets, the Maryville College wrest-
ling team finished the regular season
with a record of six victories and
nine losses. The Scots' rapid im-
provement at the end of the year
compensated for a slow start which
gave the Maryville squad a record
of one and seven midway in the
year.
Leading the Maryville grapplers
was freshman star Ralph Johnson.
Starting in the 137 pound division
and working his way down to 130,
Johnson scored 48 points on four
decisions, five pins, three draws,
and a forfeit.

Senior letterman Will Mitchell
followed Johnson in the point totals.
Mitchell closed with a rush, pinning
four of his last five opponents,
bringing his total to 36 points.
Another freshman, John Hender-

Mitchell. All 33 of Henderson's
points came on decisions.

On the basis of a Henderson
victory over defending champion
Brown earlier in the season,
Coach Davis gave the 115 pound
Maryville wrestler a good chance
for taking the championship.
After defeating Milligan's Tom
McCune by a score of 15-1 in
the first round. Henderson had
his second shutdown with Tech's
Brown on Saturday afternoon.
Suffering from anxiety and
SEC tournament inexperience,
Henderson mad^ several early
mistakes and the defending
chnnipion held a 6-0 lead after
the first period, Hendierson tried
to catch up, but the six point
margin was too great, and he
lost the match 11 to 7.
In the consolation matches
Saturday night, Henderson
clinched third place, defeating
Sewanee's Bill Harwell, while
fkown was losing his champion-
ship to Auburn's Zarcone.
Champion Defeats Shields
Don Shields, a 157 pounder,
was the fourth Maryville wrest-
ler to take SEC honors. Like
Henderson and Pritts, Shields
had to meet a returning
champion early in the matches.
Shiields found himself pitted
against 1964's 147 pound champ-
ion, Auburn's Henry Starnes in
the opening round. Starnes dis-
posed of Shields ad went on to
win the division championship.
Shields came back to win his
second match and then lost to
Jamies Wheeler of Georgia in
the consolation round for his
lourth place medal.
Coach Davis nolted that his
squad had scored less points than
it ever has before. One of the
reasons for this was that his
wn"stlers had suffered from the
seedings. Ron Pritts, Don Shields,
and Van Pallas all drew defend-
ing champions in the opening
round.

convince the student of the Tight-
ness of the status quo. In other
words, Anderson Hall could not
understand the point of view of
the student; it was simply un-
fathomable. We students were
constantly reminded of the prob-
lems of administration, by ad-
ministrators who failed to ap-
preciate the student problem.
Without raving on at too
much length, let me point out
a possible result of such a situa-
tion. And this is, I hope, without
a judgment of the status quo.
I have watched my classmates
becomes less and less concerned
with the rules situation here at
Maryviile. It seems to be an
attitude directly related to the
numbers of years spent at the
institution. Many would explain
this as maturation, a gradual
realization of the values inherent
in the status quo. I think its
relation to maturity is altogether
secondary. When students ap-
proach me with ideas they think
pertinent to our Maryviile situ-
ation — suggestions for rules
changes, if they must be called
that — invariably there is in-
cluded an ''1 know we've talked
about this before, and I'm sure
nothing will come of it, but
could we just. . . ." There are,
simply speaking, very few places
for students to register
opinion or offer ideas relative
to collt;ge policy. Consequently,
students learn to keep their
mouths shut. And perhaps this
is maturity. But as the cost of
this maturity, the college is de-
prived of day-to-day evaluation
of our status quo by the people
most capable of giving it. And
without this evaluation, we may
well find in our midst some
seething (or sulking) students
and some decaying anachro-
nisms.
Discussions this year have not
been without complications.
There has been "over-criticism"
by students and "under-recep-
tion" by administration. But in
Student-Faculty Senate we have
engaged in several cooperative
and constructive discussions. Our
talks have centered around our

Dr. J. Edward Kidder, Jr.,
Professor of Art and Archaeo-
logy at International Christian
University in Japan and a gradu-
ate of Maryviile, lectured on
"New Light on the Origins of
Civilization in Japan" in the
music hall March 5.
On March 12 and 13 the
academic policies and have
ranged from finances to curricu-
lum to classroom cheating to
teacher rating. One reason for
the open atmogphere of these
discussions is the realization that
we face in the future a continu-
ing readjustmient of our educa-
tional practices. This realization
of the problem area has been
accompanied by less insistence
on the part of the student. Per-
haps this is related to that ma-
turing process we have already
spoken of. There have been ex-
ceptions — such as the adminis-
trator who felt that the best way,
and by implication the only way,
to handle cheating was through
the present disciplinary system.
But generally speaking these
two factors (more receptivie ad-
ministrators and less adamant
students) have led to fruitful ex-
change of ideas on the problems
of academics. Hopefully, this
present discussion will continue
and will lead to more and better
means of expres.sing student
ideas and opinions — not to tell
the administration how to run
the college, but to aid the ad-
ministrators, and thus Maryviile
College, in carrying out this
business of higher education.
Maryviile College Playhouse will
present "Hippolytus, The Cretan
Woman" in the Robinson Jeffers
translation. Curtain time in the
theatre is 8:15 p. m.
March 18 the San Francisco
Contemporary Dancers will pre-
sent a concert dance program in
another in the College-Commun-
ity Artists Seri/es, and on March
21 the Maryviile College Choir
under Dr. Harry H. Harter will
present its annual home concert.
Other highlights of the Mary-
viile College Fine Arts Festival
will be a photographic exhibit in
the Fine Arts Center entitled
"Berlioz and His Time," oB-
tained from the Society for
French- American Cultural Ser-
vices and Education Aid, and
an exhibit in the Chapel lobby
of the work of Knoxville artists.
On March 16 a woodwind and
brass ensemble of Maryviile
College faculty and students will
present a recital in the Fine Arts
Center Music Hall at 4:30 p. m.,
and on March 19 there will be a
string chamber music recital by
Mr. Perry; his wife, Linda, pia-
nist; and Martha Noyes, cellist
at 8:15 p.m. in the Music Hall.
An art exhibit by public
school students, Maryviile Col-
lege student recitals, and the
East Tennessee School Band and
Orchestra Association Middle
Area String Clinic March 6 com-
plete the program for the special
Maryviile College fine arts obser-
vance.
Perhaps the mosf valuable pursuit
of all education is the ability to
make yourself do the thing you have
to do, when it ought to be done,
whether you like it or not . . . how-
ever early a man's training begins,
it is probably the last lesson that
he learns thoroughly.

The Short Happy Life
of Arthur the Turtle
"-Washington, Mar. i —
The stands here are empty now.
The sound and fury of 51 hard
shells scraping the woodesn ramp
i n the granddaddy o f all turtl?
races has died.
But somewhere in Washing-
ton, yesterday's competitors are
today's pets and have slipped
back into their long winter's
sleep.
Students at American Univer-
sity, where the race was held,
are still talking about how Gov,
AU's favorite son, held off a last-
minute rally by Vassar's tiny
Matty and charged across the
finish line in 58 seconlds, hardly
winded by his 35-foot romp t o
the winner's circle.
It was a day to remember —
last Friday afternoon — as
Washington's press corps turned
out en masse for the grand prix
of indoor turtle racing.
But when the last turde had
weaily trudged across the finish
line, it was the Muscular Dys-
trophy Fund which came away
the big winner. Proceeds from
the race, annually donated to the
fund, were estimated at well over
$400.
So came the press release from
AU. The top thirty turdes were
listed. We read eagerly. No Ar-
thur. Then we read: "Other col-
leges and universities whose
turtles finished, went to sleep at
the starting gate, or were cleared
off the track to make wav for
the next heat were . . ." Sur,^
enough there was Maryville Col-
lege.
Then we received the following
letter from our turtle trainer:
Student Council Members:
Such an honor: "official
turde trainer." My neighbors
and friends poked fun —
due to envy.
Weeks in advance our
family set aside February 26
as turtle-race day. We ar-
rived at the gymnasium in
time to hear American Uni-
versity's president make a
dignified speech. Then the
ling, horn blowing — which
excitement — yelling, whist-
went completely unnoticed
by the participants.
Some were pushed off at
the starting gate and never
woke up. It was all so thril-
ling that I took pictures of
the first and third heats
(Arthur being in the second)
and failed to wind the
camera . . .
Lots of comments to make.

During February Meetings at
a discussion in the Salt Cellar,
a group of students came to the
realization that action on the
Maryville campus was, in a
number of areas, sorely lacking.
The possibility was discussed of
forming a group to do some-
thing in regard to these voids —
improving relations, communica-
tion and understanding between
members of the co(llege commu-
nity. A meeting was set for later
in that week, and since then ap-
proximately 25 to 30 student-s
have met every Thursday in the
Salt Cellar.
What has been accomplished?
Nothing very startling. An open-
ended committee, a structure
that is flexible and allows mobil-
ity, has been formed with three
j>eople, Joan Simmons, Prachak
Tongyai, and Margie Henderson,
heading it; Dr. Swenson is t h e
advisor.
The purpose of this group was
debated at length. There seemed
to be as many ideas on what i 1
should be as there are people in
the group. However it was agreed
that concerns should include in-
ternational relations, race re-
lations, and in general, people
relations.
In the past two weeks there
has been some exchange between
faculty and students which the
group advocates. The reaction to
the situation in Selma, Alabama,
at least shofwed that everyone is
not apathetic. It does not matter
whether one signed the petition
as long as a stand was taken one
way or the other. Students spoke
and read about this issue; such
communication is an example of
one of the aims of the members.
They would like to see more
thought and voice given to con-
temporary problems of this day
and age, because it is felt that
we owe it to ourselves as students
to be moire informed and con-
cerned about the world which
we are supposedly preparing to
enter.
It is the hope of this group to
involve the campus in a search
for understanding, acceptance
and communication. Much can
be done to improve the apathetic
atmosphere which at times seems
so* prevedent. Their idea is not
a new one — there have been
other attempts to form such a
group before. But the feeling is
that positive expression and posi-
tive action will result in effec-
tiveness and satisfaction.
Many who support the status
quo or who are just plain indif-
ferent have said and will con-
tinue to say that "this is the way
it is around here and this is the
woy it will always be." Appar-
ently not everyone agrees.
Petition Carries
375 Signatures
The petition sent to the Federal
government protesting the situa-
tion i n Selma, Alabama, circu-
lated March 10, 11, and 12, was
signed by approximately 375
members of the faculty, student
body and community.
Carolyn Huff, senior history major from Maryville, has won
an appointment as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow for one year of
graduate study at the university of her choice with tuition and set
fees paid as well as a stipend of $1,800 for living expenses.
Miss Huff, who has cumulative

average of 3.8, has chosen t o
study at the University if North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Competition for the award was
based on grade point averagt
(minimum of 3.3), faculty nom-
ination and recommendation,
graduate records score and a
personal intervfew. Over 11,000
college seniors competed for the
grants, and 1,395 were chosen
for the academic year of 1965-
1966. Colleges represented with
Fellowship winners this year
numbered 361.
The Woodrow Wilson Na-

corded honorable mention t o
1,242 students including Norma

In one week we depart for home or Florida or a friend's home.
Spring vacation. It seems tq be coming sooner after Christmas
vacation than it has in earlier years. (We may be just a senior
reminiscing, showing her age. ) We thought that by this time people
were usually going around with their tongues hanging out, thirsty
for a rest. But it doesn't seem to be so this year. People seem
perky — we haven't noticed that anyone is about to collapse.

Spring is almost here — it also seems to us that sunny and
more cheerful weather is here sooner. Which could account for
cheerful people.
Spring is when people breathe deeply, and supposedly they
take a new start, after having loused up the one they took at the
beginning of the new year. And in September they will take another
start, having loused up the one they took in the spring.
Several people have asked us to do this, and so, although we
have done it before (we think we are apologizing), we do so again.
As long as we're taking new starts, we should resolve not to throw
papers on the ground, wear paths across the lawns, or stand on
potential flowers.
Our campus is a "spring-promised place," and we know from
previous years that here we can spend a beautiful spring. If we do
not throw papers on the ground, wear paths . . .
We will have an Echo next Saturday, departing slighdy from
our bi-weekly schedule. The first Echo after spring vacation will be
April 17.

MARKINGS by Dag Hammarsk-
jold. Alfred A. Knopf y Publish-
ers. $4.95.
One of the greatest literary
sensations of our century. Dag
Hammarskjold's Markings, came
before the public three years
after the author's tragic death in
Rhodesia. The number of reviews
since that time has been start-
ling, with not one critic (to my
knowledge) venturing to say that
he dislikes the book or that he
finds it of little consequence.
By virtue of his prominent
position as Secretary General of
the United Nations, Mr. Ham-
marskjold's "autobiography"
would attract widespread atten-
tion regardless of its merit. But
in this case, the attention is much
warranted by reason of the in-
herent value of the work.
Markings was begun by Ham-
marskjold as a simple diary, but
his fame in later life led him to
consider its usefulness as a public
document. In a letter found after
his death, he explains that the
diary's entries contain the only
real picture of him that can be
drawn.
To the world this man appear-
ed ais a shy, withdrawn leader
who quietly went about his work
— often giving the impression
of aloofness and even of egotism.
The diary says differently. Here
we see at first a confused, lonely
young man, yet sensitive to the
earth and its offerings and aware
of human potential.
Slowly he progresses, thinking
of life ("Is life so wretched?
Isn't it rather your hands which
are too small, your vision which
is muddied? You are the one
who must grow up."), position
("Only he deserves power who
every day justifies it."), good-
ness ("Goodness is something so
simple: always to live foir others,
never to seek one's own advant-
age."), and death ("The hardest
thing of all — to die rightly. —
An exam nobody is spared —
and how many pass it? And
you? You pray for strength to
meet the test — but also for
leniency on the part of the Exam-
iner.").
Of all these thoughts, death is
the one which pervades the entire
work. Hammarskjold seems ob-
sessed with it — physically and
spiritually. And he forsees to
some extent the type of death
which he will meet: "Do not
seek death. Death will find you.
But seek the road which makes
death a fulfillment."
A mind and soul revealed is
an impressive thing, especially
when that mind belongs to a man
of our age. It is possible that
Markings {Trail Marks, Guide-
posts) will emerge as one of the
great books representative of the
twentieth century.

Step into the Gaslight Restau-
rant on Knoxville's Gay Street
and you step into 1900 — with a
Greek flavor. The lobby is a
sitting room like the one in great-
grandma's home, with velvet
settees and a grandfather clock.
Waiters in vests and bowties
and waitresses in black hose and
ruffled collars take your order
as you sit at a table under an
electric gaslight. The place set-
tings are heavy, ruby glasses and
ornate silverware. The service is
fast, just like in the good old
days.
Ihe menu has more a 1965
than a 1900 look. Be sure to
try the Greek salad dressing. It's
not turn-of-the century, but it is
delicious.
For the main dish, have the
flaming shishkabob. The vege-
tables, brown rice and peas, are
garnished with orange and lemon
slices, which gives the food an
interesting flavor.
If you'd like something new
for dessert, bakclava, ' a Greek
pastry, is the thing. I'm not sure
what's in it, but it is rich and
scrumptious.
When you're tried of the Pear-
sons dining hall delights, go to
the Gaslight for dinner.
Two Juniors to do
Researeh
Sandra Briggs and Reed Tar-
water, both junior chemistry
majors, will be working in an
organic chemistry research pro-
gram for eight weeks this sum-
mer. Dr. David P. Young will
direct the study and will himself
be working on a research grant.
Making the program financial-
ly possible were two grants
awarded on the basis of pro-
posals submitted by Dr. Young.
The Petroleum Research Fund of
the American Chemical Society
awarded a grant of S7,380 for
a period of two years, and Re-
search Corporation awarded
S2,000 for this summer.
The research will be synthesiz-
ing and studying reactions of
organo-phosphorous compounds,
organic compounds containing a
carbon phosporous bond. This is
a continuation of study began
last summer by Bill Deweese and
Dr. Younff.

A REVIEW OF 'HIPPOLYTUS':
GREEK TRAGEDY AT MC
by Ann Jordan
Perhaps the colossal task that
the Maryville College Playhouse
set itself was impossible to exe-
cute successfully. By box office*
standards at least, Robinson Jef-
fers' adaptation of Hippolytus
was a comparative failure, and
much of the audience left the
play disappointed and bewild-
ered.
But the college players were
presenting a type of drama with
which most of the audience had
had, at best, limited contact.
High Greek tragedy cannot be
judged by the same standards as
"realistic" contemporary theater..
The teohniques which are like-
ly to repel twentieth-century
playgoers — stylized acting, con-
tinned intensity without relief,
lengthy "set" speeches — are
integral to the form itself.
Greek drama is more abstract
than most modern theater; its
interest is in problems unusual
rather than situations primarily
valid for the here and now.
Hippolytus is typical in that
the audience cannot identify with
any character, but Selene, by
addressing many of her speeches
to it invites the audience to parti-
cipate as a body in the develop-
ing tragedy. The extreme con-
centration required for even
barely adequate comprehension
of such a play is beyond that
which modern audiences are ac-
customed to exerting.
Since characterization is pri-
marily revealed through speech
rather than action, each speech
bears an increased weight of im-
portance, yet there are fewer ex-
ternal aids to understanding —
even facial expression is mini-
mized.
In addition, Hippolytus re-
sembles other Greek tragedies in
that throughout the play there
is hardly a letup in intensity. It
all seems to be variations in a
single mood — helpless horror in
the face of inevitable destruction.
The emotional strain is exhaust-
ing. Even an audience used to
such modes of expression would
probably encounter serious dif-
ficulties; with the experience of
Maryville students, including this
reviewer, these difficulties seem
overpowering.
Nevertheless it was a brilliant
production and the predominant-
ly new cast deserves high praise
for its accomplishments. Perhaps
Margaret Moffett as Phaedra
and David Harris as Theseus
were especially outstanding, but
Margaret Shaklee as Selene and
Keith Jones as Hippolytus were
also excellent. Special honors go
to Davron King for her chilling
portrayal of Aphrodite.
However, the handling of the
chorus was questionable. It is
admittedly true that even for
practiced actors a Greek chorus
presents special problems. Never-
theless the solution chosen seemed
to be a technique lifted from
J. B. and loosely tacked onto
Hippolytus. It did not really
seem to agree with the rest of
the production.
A rather minor problem with
'the play itself was the dominance
of women's voices in the opening
scene. The pi^ercing shrillness be-
came extremely irritating after
a while, and Hippolytus' entrance
was welcomed with almost fren-
zied relief.
The performance of Greek
tragedy on our stage was a noble
experiment, and Mr. Jones and
the cast demonstrated their will-
ingness to tackle the nearly im-
possible. If it failed, and that is
debatable, the failure was more
worthwhile than many easy suc-
cesses.

On March 26, before the hour
of Chapel here on campus, mem-
bers <oi the Maryville College
Choir and Brass Quartet will be
on the road to their first concert
of the 1965 tour.
Returning to Maryville 12 days
later, the Choir will have given
21 concerts to high schools, com-
munity groups, and churches.
These 12 days are rough — full
of strain and tension — but at
the same time filled with much
fun, fellowship, and excitement.
The feeling of the ensemble
before the first concert is one of
a Htde nervousness, but as the
tour continues, the "old pros"
begin to feel at ease. After the
first week the group is usually
very tired, and this is the time
when Dr. Harter gives one of
his "Choir spirit pep talks,"
which rejuvenates all the group.
There is a similarity, toward
the end of the tour, to the open-
ing day. The excitement builds
toward the final concert — a
joyful, tearful occasion. It is
something which can't be put
into words. And all the woric.
sweat, worry, anxiety, and fa-
tigue are thrown out when Roger
drives the huge Trailways Silver
Eagle bus onto campus — beauti-
ful and green — home.
It is a glorious sound when
the Choir stands on the Chapel
steps and sings, "Hail the Queen
of all the Highlands, Hail to
Maryville."
FOR TERRI
Nothing real, of course
Save dreams tied end to end.
With fantasies we built our lives,
But I was younger then.
The one great stage of summer
With its soft green curtain of spring
The opening act of creation
With its promises to bring.
Yea Time itself was neglected
In the land of the let's pretend.
The sparrow of youth was contented,
But I was younger then.
How lig'htly we lived those summers
When autumn was none too soon
To dream of the following springtime
When our tuckedraway fancies could bloom.
Oh, I had pink thoughts to ponder
And pennies of hope to lend
Would that I were younger now
As I was younger then.

No Dragging at Jeans Drag
by Sue Haldeman
About fifty pairs of jeans
were dragged to the annual
square dance in the Alumni Gym
on March 6. The boys came
dressed in their Sunday best
farm clothes, with one group
adding some distinguishing
extras which gave that real hill-
billy spirit. The caller, Lonnie
Fugate, got the dancing started
with a Grand March, and the
pace didn't slacken all night.

About 9:30 time was taken
for the corsage judging. The
judges — Dean Massey, Mrs.
Robinson, and Mr. and Mrs.
Crawford — had a difficult time
because the girls had really
created some exquisite master-
pieces.
The prize for the funniest
(naturally) went to Dave Powell
whose date made him a living
fish corsage — a goldfish in a
plastic bag. The prettiest corsage
"~| was Ken MacHarg's, a beautiful
floral arrangement constructed
of such likely things as sponges.
Lloyd Bogart received the prize
for the iiiowt original, a couage-
like arrangement made complete-
ly of pills.
At 1 1 :00 the sole-weary danc-
ers stopped. But the evening
had been a joy — a chance to

that.

Bob Paul Elected Captain
Netters Show Enthusiasm
by Rich M;ir«l«*ll
The 1965 edition of the Mary-
ville College tennis team does
not promise to be as strong as
the 1964 squad that stroked its
way to a record of 9 wins and 5
losses.
Coach Lauren Kardatzke said
that his team was "definitely
hurting this year." One of the
biggest problems facing Kar-
datzke will be to replace four
lettermen who either graduated
or transferred. It is hoped, how-
ever, that some of the team?
losses in experience and ability
will be compensated for by in-
creased hustle and desire.
Howard Moves To First Position
Leading the returnees is two
year letterman Lynn Howard, a
junior. After playing in the
number 2 singles position since
his freshman season, Howard is
working diligently to move up
to the number one position
vacated by the graduation of
Todd Owers.
His height gives him a con-
siderable advantage over his op-
ponents, and he possesses a
strong serve and forehand, but
he must improve his backhand
and net play if he is to win at
the number one slot.
Bolster Baseballers
by Terry Pets*
The Scots open their 1965 baseball season this Thursday, play-
ing the University of Tennessee on the home diamond. Game time
is 2:30.
The Scots will be fielding a well-rounded club of eight lettermen
and eleven newcomers. Coach Baird is very pleased with the way
the team has been getting into shape. He says, "The boys are in
better condition than ever before. They have been working hard
for the past few weeks, and it is paying off."
Don Pickford, Alcoa High School Football Coach, is assisting
Coach Baird this season. With the weather problems affecting
practice, Don has been working with the pitchers and catchers
in the gym, leaving Coach Baird" free to devote his time to the
fielders and Mike (the pitching machine) outside.
Unorthodox Forehand
Following Howard will be an-
other two year letterman. Rich
Marshall. \Iarshall has served at
the number four singles slot for
the past two years. In his own
words, Marshall admits to being
"the team clown" and must get
serious if he is to play at the
level he is capable of.
Marshall's strongest shot i^ his
forehand, an unorthodox drive
which may be the hardest stroke
on the squad. If the experienced
junior can gain confidence and
improve his backhand, he can
give his opponents some anxious
moments.
Paul Elected Captain
Slated for the third singles slot
on the team is senior Bob Paul
from Fayetteville, North Caro-
•Una. Paul, who was recently
elected team captain, has a
powerful serve to go along with
his strong forehand and back-
hand. If he can improve his re-
actions at the net, Paul will chal-
lenge for one of the two top posi-
tions.
Gats Shows Improvement
Among t h e non-lettermen,
Coach Kardatzke is depending
highly on Bill Gass. After having
labored behind the more talented
members of the strong 1964
squad, Gass is ready to move into
the regular line-up.
Performing admirably on the
Florida tour last year, the tall,
thin junior barely failed to letter.
This year, however, Gass has
shown considerable improvement
over his 1964 play. If he can
combine his experience with his
Six Pitchers on Staff
The pitching staff is six strong
this year. With lettermen Benny
Monroe and Jack Llewellyn lead-
ing them, the mound staff should
be improved over last year.
Freshman hurlers vying for as-
signments are Randy Smith,
Bob Nicholas, John Agnew, and
Dan Rothey.
According to Coach Baird, the
only two positions not filled with
lettermen are first base and
shortstop. Tommy Bowers, letter-

rapid improvement, he may
prove to be a consistent winner.
Freshmen Led by Parks
Heading the list of new-comers is
freshman Pete Parks, a Maryvillc
product who brings an impres-
sive high school record to the
team. He is considered to be a
definite threat to any of the
top positions. Much of his suc-
cess, however, will be determined
by how well he has recovered
from a pr -nged illness.
Last Slot Open
Five other men will be battling
for the remaining open spot. At
present, Allan Childs from
Bethesda, Maryland, and Norman
Cleesattel from Buffalo, New
York, are the top two contenders.
They are followed by junior John
Mulholland, freshman Dick
Stevenson, and Steve Floyd, an-
other freshman.
Doubles Team To Be Determined
In doubles competition, Ho-
ward and Marshall will be the
team to beat, after a season of
experience as a team. The other
combinations will be determined
as the season progresses.
Overall, the Scots' tennis team
will be definitely weaker than
the squad which represented the
college last year, but with the
enthusiasm and spirit that hae
permeated practices so far an^
the excellent tutoring of CoacI
Kardatzke, the team should wi)
its share of matches.

Talented Runners Lead M'ville in Track
y
8 Lettermen
Bolster Forces
If it were necessary, Maryville
College track coach Howard
Tomlinson could dismiss the rest
of his team and confront op-
ponents with Dave Alexander. A
tall, powerful sophomore, Alex-
ander can run the 100, 220, 440,
a leg of the mile relay, pole
vault, broad jump, high jump,
throw the discus, hurl the javelin,
and put the shot.
Tomlinson, however, does not
have to rely totally on Alexander.
Behind the talented sophomore,
he hjis a wealth of running talent
thiat could place the Scots in
reach of their most successful
season in recent years.
880 To Be Strong
With nine lettermen returning
to the track section of the track
and field sport, Maryville has
the strongest selection of running
talent it has had in recent yeare.
The Scots are strongest in the
middle distance races.
Rich Reed and Hugh McCamp.
bell provide Coach Tomlinson
with a strong 1-2 punch in the
half-mile. Reed, a junior, is capa-
ble of a 1:56 although his best
time last year was only 2:04:8.
McCampbell is also capable of
sub-two minute performances in
the 880. He was only a step
behind Reed last year with a
2:05 flat.
Livingston Stars In Distances
Moving to the mile run, Mary-
ville has John Livingston, a
senior who has never lived up to
his fullest potential. Livingston
has been timed at 4:35. However,
Tomlinson thinks the tall miler
could turn in a 4:10. Reed and
McCampbell will also run the
mile.
In the two mile race, the Scots
are again led by the long-limbed
Livingston. Among the new-
comers in the half miJe, and two
mile are senior Phil Jerome,
freshmen Keith Jones and Andy
Ruhlinv, and sophomore Billy
REED AND LIVINGSTON: Pacing the Scots' distance runners will be half-
miler Rich Reed and miler John Livingston
BELL AND ALEXANDER: Two of the outstanding |>erfomiers on the
Maryville track team will be Jerry Bell and l>*v^ Alexander. Belt is a fme
quarter-miler, while Alexander's versatility make him invaluable to the
team.
Evaul. Jerome will be teamed
with Reed and McCampbell in
running the mile and 880, while
Evaul, Jones, and Ruhlin will
share mile and two mile duties
with Livingston.
Sprinters Led By Craig
In the sprints, the Scots are
counting heavily on sophomore
Jack Smoot and a list of fresh-
men including Dick Craig, Gary
Phillips, and Bob Leach. Tomlin-
son is counting heavily on Craig
to become a first-rate 100 and
220 yard dash man and the an-
chor on the 440 relay. Tomlinson
will insert Alexander in the 220. events.

The 440 is another Maryville
strong point with Alexander com-
bining with Jerry Bell to give the
squad a 1-2 punch that rivals
Reed and McCampbell in the
half. Bell has been working long
hours and hopes to move his
time in the 440 to beneath .50
seconds. Bell, Alexander, Reed,
and perhaps Mike Dalton will
form the mile relay team.
Behind Bell and Alexander are
several strong freshman pros-
pects, Joe Suitor, and Lane Rapp.
Both have much potential and
may replace one of the members
on the relay team.
Freshman Leach Top Hurdler
Bob Leach is one of the brigb*-
est of the freshman candidate^
A low hurdler with considerable
high school success. Leach will
be a potential winner in the 220
yard low hurdles. Terry Amon
will lead the Scots in the high
hurdles. Junior lettermen and
basketball star Denny McGowan
will back up Leach and Amon.
If Tomlinson is relatively well-
staffed in the running events,
his field men leave room for im-
provement. More than once dur-
ing 1964 season did the Scots
lose entire meets on the basis on
their performances in the field
Javelin A Scot Strength
Javelin is a Scot strong point
with junior Greg Hallen capable
of being a consistent winner.
Ralph Johnson, Danny Styles,
and Adam Deveney back up Hal-
len.
In the jumping events Tomlin-
son is depending primarily on
Denny McGowan, Dave Alex-
ander, Mike Dalton, and SEC
wrestling champion Ralph John-
son. McGowan will perform in
both the high jump and the pole
vault, while Alexander high
jumps and gives Maryville many
first places in the broad jump«
Johnson, who vaulted 11' 3"
in high school, will head the
squad in that event. Mike Dalton
is working in the hig'h jump.
Shot and Discus Men Inexperienced
The weight events (the shot
put and the discus) are staffed
with inexperienced performers.
Pat O'Brien is working in the
sihot put and hopes to reach the
40' circle by the end of the
season.
In the discus two freshmen.
Cole Piper and Ernie Greeno,
will be Maryville's entries. Inex-
perience, however, does not imply
weakness, and Tomlinson is hop-

Other candidates for positions
are runners Bud Prather, Dale
Schellenger, and George Patton
and shot putters Bob Coates and

Field Men Mutt Deliver
The success of the team de-
pends on the performance of the
men involved in the field events.
A strong field of runners that
not only has strong first men,
but strong second and sometimes
even third men, should enable
Tomlinson's forces to defeat their
opponents on the oval. If the
Scots can break even in llie field
events, Maryville should have one
of its finest teams in recent yeaTs.
Track Team To
Have Eight Meets
The Maryville College track
team will have eight meets on
the 1965 schedule. The Scots will
be on the road for the first three
meets and then return from an
encounter with the Carson-
Newman squad to meet them
again for the first home meet.
After the Tennessee Intercol-
legiate Athletic Conference Tour-
nament at Sewanee, the Scots will
have three home meets. Below is

An Unforgettable Character
by Mouses K. Housepian
I remember well the first day of
school in the year 1955, how a
loud burst of laughter greeted
Professor Makisdros when h e
entered the classroom with his
balloon-like bulged stomach. His
introductory speiech was, "Boys
I will try to help you to the best
of my ability and the only thing
I ask from you is to keep your
ambitions within bounds."
This laconic speech of Profes-
sor Makisdrois soemed very ab-
rupt and meaningless to us all, es-
pecially when he then went on to
give us a boastful account of his
adventures, blowing h i s own
trumpet as loudly as the time
allowed.
Professor Makisdros was an old
teacher, who in his youth had
been very handsome, very strong,
very proud of his physique, and
beloved of many ladies. He had
thrown himself heart and soul in-
to organizing the discipline o f
the school. Nobody can deny the
fact that it was during his period
of employment that the school
reached its acme of perf'^ction.
During picnics, Professor Ma-
kisdros was always the predomi-
nant figure, as he was the perma-
nent master of ceremonies. H e
knew the way of focusing * h e
attention of both teachers and
students on himself as he started
his various instructive games.
He had a head for dates and an
inexhaustible store o f general
knowledge.
The later years of his life were
most bitter ones. Due to old age
he was obliged to quit school,
the place where he had passed
all his life and which h e loved
most. The second blow came
after two years of retirement
when he lost his wife; at the
time his eldest son, being care-
less and extravagant, had al-
ready given him much trouble.
He was the black sheep of t h e
family. His younger son who
promised him nothing but good
was the victim of a car accident.
Years went by and I gradua-
ted from high school. After my
graduation I did not see him for
a long period of time. One day
while I was going to the Gul-
benkian Library some noise
from the other part of the street
held me at the doorway of the
library for a few moments.
As the noise increased I w a s
interested to know what it was
about, and, to my surprise, it was
Professor Makisdros, who was
surrounded by a horde of grimy
children.The scene was really
heartbreaking; Professoir Makis-
dros' beard was unkempt and ne-
glected, his clothes were dirty
and torn. He had lost his mental
balance. I gathered up my cour-
age and, finding my way through
the crowd, got hold of him and
led him to his house where h e
lived alone — because his eldest
son had deserted him long ago.
All that night I did not have
a wink of sleep. What an unjust
world! He had devoted all his
life to a lofty and noble task and
found suffering as the compen-
sation for his services rendered
to the future generation.
He had lived a joyous life,
but alas, it ended with sorrow.
Catch a sunbeam . . . hold it . . .
radiating . . . soft yellowwhite warmth —
pulsing, breathing, smiling, loving . . .
. . . wanting , . . come . . .
melt into this subtle smile of incomplete happiness
— claim it . . . before it claims you
gaze into this shimmering nothing —
this erotic melting of bittersweet passions
. . . whispering . . .
Hold me ... I want to melt . . .
. . . into you

My merely polite comment —
on some aspect of campus spirit,
as I recall — had evidently prod-
ded out something the Part-Time
Rebel had been gestating all
year. Before I could safely turn
the conversational tide, he w a s
securely entrenched on his line.

told me it was a lost cause.

Many centuries ago, during the
reign of Kao-Tsu, a great bridge
of bamboo and teak was buih
high above a river gorge near the
mountain village of Nhu. A
young general of the emperor's
army, chancing to cross the
bridge with his troops in passage
to a foreign conflict, fell to argu-
ing heatedly with the architect
as to the strength of the span.
"Not the weight of all the rice
in China could destroy my
bridge," boasted the architect.
"We shall see," replied the
angry general, and he proceeded
to enlist the services of a young
man of the town who would
place rice on the bridge — each
grain separately — until such
time as the bridge should col-
lapse. The total number of grains
would become the total number
of whip strokes the architect
would receive for his arrogance.
Should the bridge yet stand when
there remained no room for more
rice, the architect would be given
a handsome lifetime pension and
the claim to the general's estate.
And so it was that the general
went off to battle, the architect
went back to his home, and the
young man began gathering rice
and carrying it two miles on his
back to the bridge where h^ care-
fully placed his burden one grain
at a time.
Years passed. TTie general did
not return from the wars, the
architect was called to build a
palace for the emperor, and the
young man who had begun the
task was now older and slower
and bent.
It came to pass that the em-
peror Kao-Tsu was taken from
this life into the mystic after-
world, and that the new ruler
from the north on his way to the
royal city happened through the
village of Nhu.
Arriving at the bridge and
finding it impassable, he in-
quired of the townspeople as to
the meaning of this unusual bar-
rier. But the time had long flown
since there were any in the town
who could recall the tale of the
old man and his labor, so they
said nothing.
Then the emperor spied the
old man carrying his sack of
rice and he stopped him and
said, "I am the emperor, I should
like to hear your story."

bridge. It matters not to me that
the general and the architect no
longer care," said the old man,
and he turned to his work. The
emperor pitched camp by the
bridge for the night.
In the morning the old man
was found dead on the road
beneath his sack of rice.
"It is a shame that this man's
life work has died with him,"
thought the ruler, "I wonder if it
is possible to know how many
grains of rice are on the bridge,
for it seems he carried the
number in his head and told no
one."
So the emperor gathered all
his wfise counselors, and they
pondered his question for many
days until at last the oldest and
wisest of them came to the em-
peror's tent and held out his
hand. On his palm rested one
brown kernel.
"This is all that is necessary
to break the back of a man
or a bridge," he said.
"How could that be," replied
the ruler, "when there are so
many grains on the bridge and
still it stands?"
"Because." said the wise man,
"there is only one grain that a
man or a bridge cannot bear —
and that is the last one."
Then he tossed the grain on
the pile of rice, and the great
bridge collapsed quietly into the
gorge.

116 West Broodwoy
by MovMS K. Hovsepian
Spring is the most significant of the four seasons; poets sing it,
biologists try to analyze it, and old people watch its renewal with
deepening wonder. Spring is so old that there is nothing to say about
it, but every year it is as original as a just-barn baby. and welcomed
cordially.
The return of spring warms the stones and fills the heart of man
with gratitude toward the Creator of life and beauty.
It always comes in the same old way — with a gentle warmtli
in the pale sunshine, a vague green mist enveloping the top of tree*.
Around the usual dates in April we will be noticing the robin,
bluebird, black and white warbler, starling and many other birds
returning to us. All at once, we see the moist warm earth burst into
bloom. High in the branches the newly arrived birds join in
a symphony of thanksgiving to the Creator in whose mind all the
beauty existed before the world was.
The buds swell, the tiny branches start to change colour, and
one morning the buds break into leaves, and then quickly, without
a sound, millions of trees dress themselves in fresh garments. E^ch
leaf is a masterpiece of colour and design as well. It is also distinctive
from other leaves.
Spring is also the time when men find out how they have
planted and what they must reap. Where the seed is good, the fields
are a shallow lake of young green. Where the seed is bad there
will be a barren, burned land. You reap whatever you sow.
Little children play in summertime meadows. They are happy,
they sing, dance, jump; the world is theirs. Men and women again
by glories of spring go for a walk and relax after a day's exhaustive
strain.
It seems, for the time being, that sunshine and sea, flowers and
forests, tell us all that we need to know about the mystery beyond
*»xistence.
We Shall Overcome
by Paul Millin
WE SHALL OVERCOME —
three words, yet they have given
to many a hope for new freedom,
to many others a feeling of dis-
gust, and to many of our fellow
college students a "cause" or
reason for being larger than
themselves and more important
than the present. While we would
be the last to deny the impor-
tance of a cause to an individual
or to deny the worthiness of a
cause which preaches equality
among men, we do, at the risk
of being labeled racist, have to
register our feeling of disgust for
these words.
Disgust not out of prejudice,
although it would be foolish to
deny a certain amount of pre-
judice after growing up in a
society that teaches it, but disgust
because we feel the end does not
justify the means.
A general knowingly sends his
troops into a bloodbath while he
sits in a comfortable hotel room
and watches the cries of horror
and shock that come from all
corners. Then to add to his per-
sonal reputation he defies federal
and state law, disregards a per-
sonal appeal from the President
of the United States and "takes
personal charge" of his troops in
another march.
We are fortunate in this coun-
try to have a wonderful system of
federal courts. It is through these
courts that the changing inter-
pretations of our Constitution
which have allowed this country
to continue its dynamic growth
have been made.
The courts are the least glam-
orous but perhaps the most ef-
fective branch of our govern-
ment. There is little personal
glory for the judge who makes
the momentous decision. There is
delay in the courts as judicial
proceedings are by their very
nature time consuming. If there
were not peaceful, proper means
available for change in our soci-
ety then we would be faced with
the anathema of recurrent r©»
volution.
Laws must be obeyed until
abolished or changed if we are
to have an ordered society. We
have little personal use for a law
which discriminates against Black
or White but we could certainly
find a better way of changing it
than taking men, women and
children on a march defying
state law and as an end result
getting people killed and beaten.
There is a time, as Thomas Jef-
ferson said, when the "tree of
liberty must be fertilized with
human blood." But needless
death and bloodshed should not
be confused with an honest fight
for freedom.
One of the benefits of a colleg*
education Is to show the boy its
little avail.

from the image that Bob "Peace

My assignment is a typical
one. I teach English language
and literature in a proprietary,
girls' secondary school. It li a s
three forms (roughly, seventh,
eighth, and ninth grades). I am
also the librarian and have been
given the dubious distinction of
being named "games mi^jtress."
This means I enhance cross-
cultural understanding by teach-
ing American games to Nigerian
teenagers who would much pre-
fer instruction in the words t o
Elvis Presley rock-and-roll songs.
Life as a PC volunteer in Nige-
ria did not meet our precon-
ceived notions of inhabiting mud
huts with thatched roofs, cook-
ing rice (and more rice) over
a n open fire, and reading b y
candlelight. Few of us live i n a
manner remotely resembling that
(although electricity IS a defin-
ite luxury). This is because
many Nigerians have what w e
might consider a n exaggerated
sense of status.
A person with a university de-
gree is expected to maintain a
certain standard of living. Thus.
when a volunteer arrives and is
unconcerned about living i n a
big house and is quite content
to pedal a bicycle, he is viewed
with mistrust by his colleagues.
They suspect that the volun-
teer is a second-rater who has
been rejected by American soci-
ety and is now being palmed of!
on them. This attitude is over-
come only when t h e vdlunteer
proves himself in the classroom

i s composing facetious answers
to the inevitable, "Why did you
join the Peace Corps?" We have

in the word friendship.
Contemporary Nigerians may
not approve what the United
States government does or what
happens i n Mississippi and
Alabama, but personal warmth
and discussions do much to re-
duce the friction of misunder-
standing. Mix with this first
hand experience in absorbing
the intricacies of a different cul-
ture, and the result is something
which makes a positive contribu-
tion to world brotherhood. A t
least we think so.

Pitching Staff to Determine Scots' Success
Baird Readies Forces
For Opening Game
with U-T Squad
With a nucleus of eight letter-
men, Maryville College baseball
coach iioydson Baird expects to
field an improved team this year.
Baird stated that he feels his
team can make a definite im-
provement over last year's record
five and 18. "The hitting should
be the same or even better than
last season and our fielding
should he better too, but all de-
pends on our pitching," he said.
Monroe Leads Pitchers
Heading the moun<i corps will
be senior Benny Monroe. With
a good fast ball and a fine curve,
Monroe will probably receive the
starting nod in the Scots' first
game against U-T. Behind Mon-
roe is sophomore Jack Llewellyn,
a pitcher who relies on his ex-
cellent control and assortment of
breaking stuff rather than speed
to overcome the batter.
Baird will receive further
mound support from three fresh-
man prospects. Randy Smith has
a fine fastball; Dan Rothey is
a knuckleballer; and Bob Nick-
laus uses a good variety ~of
pitches. John Agnew, a tall left-
hander, may also see some action
on the mound.
Catchers Led By Hughes
Perhaps the best fortified posi-
tion on the Scots' roster is
catcher, where Sonny Hughes
performs. The
hitter last year
fensive player,
team's leading
and a good de-
Hughes gives
Baird's staff of pitdhers more
than adequate receiving. Hughes
will be backed up by Frank
Gready and Terry Petze.
Experienced Infield
The infield should be the most
experienced portion of the team.
Senior Kip Martin will hold
down third base, Tom Bowers
will be at short, and another
senior, Buck Petty will start at
second.
Martin is a hustling fielder
with good hands. He will prob-
ably appear in one of the top
slots of the batting order.
Bowers may be the best hitter
on the squad. He will be the
Scots' long ball threat and should
team with Sonny Hughes to give
Maryville a strong one-two punch
in the third and fourth batting
positions.
Petty, the second baseman, im-
proved rapidly last year after
being switched from third base.
First Base Undecided
First base is still a question
mark in Baird's plans. At present

and have shown signs of adepl-
ness with the bat.
Ralph McCampbell and Gerald
Hodges will also be ready for
action in the infield.
Veterans Fortify Outfield
The outfield is also well set.
In left field will be a four year
letterman, Joe Sheideler. Scheide-
ler, a good fielder and fair hitter,
may also see action at first base
and as a relief pitcher.
The centerfield position will
be held down by Sonny Webb,
an excellent defensive performer,
who can hit with power.
Right field is unsettled, but
Baird will probably fill the slot
with a member of the pitching
staff. Benny Monroe will usually
get the nod when he is not per-
forming on the mound. Randy
Smith will replace Monroe in
rig'ht when Monroe pitches. Allen
Morris and Jim Fort are also or
hand for outfield duty.
Pitchers Key to Success
The outlook for the team is
good. Baird has a consistent de-
fensive unii and should be able
to find three or four hitters cap-
able of .300 averages. Most im-
Pitcher Benny Monroe gets accustomed to batting stance.
portant, however, is the pitching
staff.
With a blend of experience in
Monroe and Llewellyn and
promising youth in Smith, Ro-
they, and Nicklaus, the Scots may
have their best crew of pitchers
in recent years.

Darkly Through A
Broken Spyglass
Most of the news in past
months from the large university
campuses of the country has
been concerned with agitation
for some of the vaguest of stu-
dent rights. Agitation has been
spearheaded by informed student
groups with various emotional
problems.
The movement has gained
greatest ground in such leftist
pockets as California, but in-
roads are in evidence elsewhere.
Even in the usually conservative
South dissenting student voices
are heard. The Free Campus
Party at the University of Ten-
nessee has fearlessly spoken out
against women's regulations and
ROTC.
The programs of these con-
cerned young Americans have
been thwarted by their poor re-
ception by college administrators.
President Clark Kerr spoke to
the press in terms derogatory
about the Free Speech Movement
on the University of Southern
California campus.
Many of the faculty sympa-
thized with the students —
"They're only products of their
environment" — and classes were
disrupted for several days. The
group sought free political ex-
pression and organization on the
campus, it seems. The students
loved to demonstrate.
The school was inclined to
have them arrested. The result
was an emoting by "liberals" and
"reactionaires" on such time
honored principles as free
speech, state law, students rights,
and the rig'ht to demonstrate.
Students the country over
didn't seem to react nearly so
energetically as did the ad-
ministrators. We are apathetic,
I understand. And most students
perhaps did not care. It was not
inciting for a California student
to parade with the most Anglo-
Saxon of phrases held aloft.
Rather it was amusing, and on
reflection very, very sad. For it
portrayed too starkly the pur-
poselessness of much of today's
youth.
Perhaps, it has been suggested,
these students owed their origin
lo communist agitation. In this
day of charge and countercharge,
such a suggestion is provable or
disprovable only by the highest
of authorities, such as the Con-
gressional Committee on Un-
American Activities. Surely they
must know. But we do not, and
will only suggest that the students
are probably several steps ahead
of the Comintern.
What shade is Maryville on
the ideological spectrum? Black
Charter plane flights from
Knoxville to Philadelphia and
back were initiated this spring
vacation. In commenting on the
"charter charter," Frank Lay-
man, treasurer of the College,
whose office handled the arrange-
ments, said that all credit should
be given to the students for their
cooperation despite changes in
plans and the subsequent space
shortage on the return flight.
He also said that the airline
had remarked that Maryville
College students were the "most
business-like and organized" that
they had dealt with.
Regarding the future of such
flights, Mr. Layman said that it
would probably be easier due to
the group work this flight ac-
complished. Contract agreements
can probably be made with one
rather than two airlines in the
future.
The treasurer emphasized that
future successes were dependent
upon there being a student will-
ing to work as much next year
as David Conklin, who acted as
a liaison between the students
and the airlines, did this year.
A memorial service was held Wednesday morning for David
Evans who died unexpectedly Sunday, April U. Previously Dr.
Joseph J. Copeland, speaker at Vespers last Sunday, devoted the
service to the deceased.
Although a psychology major, Dave actively participated in
dramatic and musical functions.
In the past four years he play-
ed six major and two minor roles
in Playhouse productions. Most
recently he had played the lead
role in the theatre's presentation
of Archibald MacLeish's "J.B.",
and he was in the cast of "The
Fantastiks," now being re-
he arsed.
A soloist in "Messiah" for
three years, Dave, a bass, gave
his senior recital March IL He
was a member since his freshman
year of the College Choir which
recently returned from their
annual spring tour.
Dave was to have sung a solo
at a special concert at Knoxville
College scheduled for last Sun-
day. The event was cancelled in
view of the circumstances which
arose.
Funeral services were Thurs-
day, April 15, at Trinity Baptist
Church in Newport, Kentucky.
In lieu of flowers the family re-
quested donations be made to a
retarded children's fund or to
Maryville College.
David Evans
suggests itselt to some dark-
minded students. I'm sure blue
would be the pick of many ad-
ministrators. Red? "Are there
any Communists on the faculty
up there?" queried a rightist re-
lative of mine. "No," I replied,
"there are only a few Demo-
crats."
Certainly the Maryville campus
has not home any radical student
movements. Though I do recall
some suggestion that Student
Council advocated anarchy . . .
Guess there will be some hurried
rereading of the new consitution
now. But on the whole, Maryville
students aren't apt to demon-
strate.
Even fewer are apt to write
letters to their Congressmen. But
this doesn't necessarily indicate
apathy. Latent dissatisfaction has
risen in the past, with the
automobile — excuse me — situ-
ation, with the Chapel program,
with the cut system. But the dis-
satisfaction is either repressed
by sensible students or suppres-
sed by sensible administrators.
Yet even these safeguards have
failed to prevent the nasty dis-
aster which arrives yearly on
Mother's Day.
Certain stock morals could be
obviously drawn from the abo\e
discussion. Every protestant
knows that "It costs money to
demonstrate." The college dis-
ciplinarian is familiar with, "A
bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush." Elroy Smersh, a
physics major from the class of
'34, came up with, "A rolling
stone gathers momentum." But
all these little homilies are only
half apt. One must stand off and
view the whole situation from
a distance, about 800 miles and
two or three years.
And I imagine Maryville will

Otto Pflanze, the last lecturer
of the Series sponsored by Mary-
ville College, will speak on Fri-
day at 8:15 in the music hall of
the Fine Arts Center.
Dr. Pflanze was born in Mary-
ville and was educated in Mary-
ville public schools and at Mary-
ville College, where he graduated
in 1940. He holds MA and PhD
degrees from Yale University.
Presently a history professor
at the University of Minnesota,
where he has been since 1961,
Dr. Pflanze has also taught at
New York University, the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts, and the
University of Illinois. He has
held the American Council of
Learned Societies Fellowship and
a Fulbright grant for research ifi
Germany.
Author of a volume on Bis-
marck and a contributor to a
number of periodicals material
relating to Germany, Dr. Pflanze
is also one of the authors of a
recent textbook, A History of
the Western World.
The topic of the speaker's
address will be "European Unity
as a Historical Problem."

oratorio
Richard Yardumian, Philadel-
phia composer, has been com-
missioned by Maryville College
to write an oratorio on the story
of Joseph.
The work, which will have its
world premiere performance at
the College, is part of the plan-
ned Sesquicentennial celebration
in 1969-1970.
Had no early formal training
Born into a musical family,
Yardumian, although he had no
early formal training in music,
learned to be a musician through
study and observation of his
older brother, a concert pianist.
A graduate of Philadelphia
public schools, he began his
studies at the age of 22. He was
encouraged toward self -study by
his later instructors, Jose Iturbi
and Leopold Stokowski. Because
of the extensive research he did,
specifically in the field of music
of the past, Yardumian claims
his "alma mater" to be The Free
Public Library of Philadelphia.
Works debuted by Eugene Ormandy
The composer wrote his first
orchestral work, Armenian Suite,
now famed as the signature
theme of the Voice of America
broadcasts behind the Iron Cur-
tain, at the age of 19.
His debut orchestral work,
premiered by Eugene Ormandy
and the Philadelphia Orchestra,
was Desolate* City, in 1945. In
1954 the Armenian Suite, pre-
miered by the same Orchestra,
was performed 18 times during
its first season in the repertoire,
and presented by the Orchestra
during its European tour.
"In addition the Armenian
Suite was selected this past
summer to be the feature work
for the 1965 "Armenian Day at
the World's Fair" next May.
To be composer in residence
Yardumian plans to spend

2--The Highland Echo, -April 17, 1965
Lip service
We've scarcely ever complained about Maryville College in this
column. And it is not just because our chances are fast disappear-
ing that we do so now. With some sort of freedom in sight, it even
may seem to some that we shouldn't speak now.
Recently a few ithings we've been exposed to or have observed,
although not our first confrontation with such things, have appeared
ridiculous and Mickey Mouse. A few minor rules, which among
the two-year modernization of MC were not thrown out, hurt. We
do not mean hurt us (they offend us), but hurt in themselves, by
their very existence.
Before you think we're trying to dispense with hours for being
in at night or chapel or cuts or added-graduation-requirements
due-to-intemperate cutting or the prohibition of drinking or the
separation of men's and women's quarters, hold on.
There are petty little rules, like the hours when men may wait
in the parlor for a girl, the basis for which, after living in a dorm
for three and a half years, we can't see. Another example. The otlier
evening some New Dorm girls were supposedly given points for
not attending a house meeting, at which the following things were
discussed (wc were there): gift for a baby; party for the maid;
open house; the ND roof is open; boys can't wear bermudas in
the parlor because girls can't; and wafch out for the mystery woman.
All of which seemed extremely in.ane and unimportant at that late
hour — and still do.
No one person is to blame for the existence of pointless rules.
But it seems a small enough thing for an integrity-enough school
to correct.

Dr. Hunter
and Chaucer
by Carol Montgomery
On Tuesday, April 6, Dr. Ed
win R. Hunter of the Maryville.
College English faculty read a
paper entitled "Epilog to Troilus
and Criseyde^ before the month-
ly meeting of the University of
Tennessee Philological Club. In
his paper. Dr. Hunter presents
his Uiesis that the Epilog is not
out of character with 3ie rest
of the poem or with the times
in which it was written.
Dr. Hunter first gave a brief
resume of the Epilog. From lines
1772 to 1785, Chaucer addresses
his lady readers. He asks their
pardon for writing of the untrue
Criseyde and says that he will,
in other books, write about good
women.
From lines 1786 to 1799, he
prays for his "little book," that
no one will copy it incorrectly
and that there will always be
someone who can read it.
From lines 1800 to 1834,
Chaucer returns to Troilus and
to his assignment of a place
in the Heavens. Line 1835 to the
end of the poem is the pious
ending.
It is the pious ending about
which there is much controversy.
Many critics feel that it is inap-
propriate to the theme of the
poem. Dr. Hunter objected to
this idea and stated that the
pious ending was a part of the
style of that age.
He pointed out that even the
most ribald of Chaucer's Canter-
bury Tales contain the pious end-
ing. Dr. Hunter felt that this
shows the pious ending to be
directly related to the times in
which Chaucer lived and wrote.
Dr. Hunter also spoke con-
vincingly against the argument
raised by many critics that
Chaucer had made Troilus into
a Christian by assigning him to
the eighth of Dante's heavenly
spheres. He fek that by this
Chaucer mieant the sphere of
heaven closest to earth.
This is not incompatible with
the»way in which Dante peopled
his spheres. Troilus could be a
pagan and still be admitted to
this sphere. Evcti so, as Dr.
Hunter reminded us, Chaucer
does not have Troilus in the
eighth sphere, but says that Mer-
cury will take him to his per-
WSGA Banquet
To Be April 20
by jan Melville
"Toward Unity and Action" is
the theme of the WSGA spring
banquet, which will be held
Tuesday, April 20, at 6 p.m. in
Pearsons Hall. The purpose of
the banquet is to emphasize that
WSGA is not only the coordinat-
ing council, but that it involves
every dormitory student and
especially the senior counselors,
sophomore aides, and house
councils.
After a special dinner, Jan
Rickards will preside over a
short program which will reveal
the opportunities and challenges
confronting WSGA in the future.
An added attraction will be Lois
Grinstead, singing a delightful,
spring tune.
All men students will be served
dinner in the rear dining room
at 6 p.m. also. Their cooperation
is requested in their leaving
through the side door in that
dining room as soon as they are
finished eating.
by Keith Henne
People are retHen. They know
they need someHiing. But they don't
know what it is.
It's Christ.
s
manent home in the heavens.
From these points Dr. Hunter
reasoned that Chaucer did not
make Troilus a Christian and
that the Epilog is not set apart
from the rest of the poem or
incompatible to it.
From 9:05 to 10:00 every Sun-
day evening many of the radios
on campus are tuned to the New
Campus Mike, one of the four
hours broadcast each week by
this student organization. Cam-
pus Mike consists of those stu-%
dents who are interested in radio
and television work and allows
them a chance tp learn about,
and participate in, radio produc-
tion while going to college.
This year we have more mem-
bers than we have had in recent
years. Because of the size of the
organization and the willingness
of our members to work on
shows? radio station WGAP has
given us four hours of free time
each week. Besides the Sunday
evening hour, we broadcast Con-
cert Hall every Monday, Tues-
day, and Wednesday afternoon
from 12:30 to 1:30. This pro-
gram contains announcements of
public interest concerning Mary-
ville College.
Until recently our Sunday
evening program was for our
town listeners. Then this spring
we changed the format to one
of interest to the Maryville Col-
lege student. With the increase
of listeners WGAP gave us a full
by Bill Talmage
hour.
The most popular of the new
Sunday night shows is "Request
and Dedication" night. Other
shows heard recently include "An
Evening With Al Hirt," "The
Best of Dixeland" and "Over-
tures from Great Broadway
Musicals."
Since next Sunday is Easter,
the theme of the program is set
in with that of the season. Steven
Bishop will host a show of gospel
music. We hope to have a live
gospel quartet.
On April 25, two of the most
popular music groups on campus
will be presented. For the first
half hour the Alpha Sigma Blue
Shades will present some of the
best in popular music. And for
the dixeland fans, Maryville Col-
lege's own "Poet and the Pea-
sants" will present thirty minutes
of live dixeland music. Two great
groups in one week — a show you
don't want to miss.
Then on May 2, "Dedication
and Request Night" returns with
Pat Shenko and Wee Willy.
The members of Campus Mike
take turns in broadcasting the
programs. Whoever is in charge
picks the music, sets up the
format and announces the pro-
gram. This gives him experience
in both program planning and
program broadcasting.
At Christmas time we worked
with the Information Department
and the Music Department to
produce a TV program which
was broadcast over WBIR-TV^
during Christmas vacation.
For the past few years Campus
Mike has been in a decline. Only
a few people were interested in
worfcing with the organization
and even less wanted to listen to
its programs. Tliis year, however,
with the new enthusiasm of our
members, we are trying to re-
build. There is still plenty of
room for improvement and we
look forward to bringing you
better and more interesting pro-
grams in the future. Tune us in
some time and see what I mean.

MY
ISIN'S
by Briggs, Chittick, Haggart, Haggart, & Keen
With the sanction of the school
and the good wishes of Mrs.
Robinson, we were off again this
year to Panama City for a whole-
some, restful spring vacation,
minus CharUe Cook's pup tent
and Pearsons Hall frying pan.
Sympathetic to last year's
situation, Mr. Andy McKenzie of
the Panama City News Herald
and the Chamber of Commerce
had arranged accommodations
for us at the Escape Motel, "the
most beautiful motel on the
beach." When Sandy Haggart,
home in New York, heard that
she would not have to keep watch
for racoons and other little
predatory things, she spent
"three days and three nights" on
a Greyhound bus so that she
could chaperone our foursome.
She also brought the only cloudy
day of the week.
Dinners had been arranged for
us in the evening at the Seven
Seas and the Four Winds
Restaurants. Our first traumatic
experience occurred in the Seven
Seas. We were being shown to
our table when what to our
wondering eyes should appear
but a Maryvillian, none other
than Mr. Rich Gossweiler and
family. Picking ourselves up off
the floor, we moved on to the
next room.
Other evenings were spent
having weiner roasts on the
beach, listening to Chittick on
the guitar, dancing, seeing
movies, and enjoying the amuse-
ment parks, which brings us to
our second traumatic experience.
Sandy Briggs received a tele-
phone call informing her that
Karen Keen had fallen out of
the roller coaster. Fully realizing
that this was entirely possible,
she was hurriedly packing pj's
and toothbrush to take to the
hospital when Keen and com-
pany walked in — April Fool!
A perfect ending to a perfect
week came Friday when we went
40 miles into the gulf on a deep
sea fishing trip, courtesy of Mr.
E. W. Hobbs. After a successful
day of fishing someone noticed
that Keen was missing. Our
search was ended by a frantic
commotion from the ladies room.
With the combined efforts of two
stalwart sailors, the door yielded
and Keen came flying out.
Fishing was our only money-
making enterprise of the week —
$3.70 for 31 lbs. of red and
white snapper.
Our final and most traumatic
experience was leaving. That was
the week that was.

4-The Highland Echo, April 17, 1965
Maryville Track Men Toppled
Unfortunately for the Mary-
ville College track team, a meet
is comprised of two parts —
field events and track events.
Against Emory University in a
meet held last Saturday the
Highlanders outran their op-
ponents, scoring 49 points while
Emory gained 33, but were
humiliated in the field events,
gathering only 16, while the At-
lanta school picked up 47. When
the totals were combined, Mary-
ville had suffered an 80-65 de-
feat.
Relay Teams Do Weil
Heading Maryville's running
f^ats were the two relay teams
and the corps of distance run-
ners. The Scots got off to a good
start when the 440 yd. relay team
of Bob Leach, Mike Dalton,
Jack Smoot, and anchor man
Dick Crai^ swept to a timing of
44.9, and a first place finisih.
A second relay victory for
Maryville was gained in the mile
relay. Dave Alexander, Joe
Suitor, Rich Reed, and Jerry Bell
turned in a fine timing of 3:33.6
to easily defeat Emory's quartet
of runners.
Livingston Wins Twice
Perhaps the brightest per-
former for the Maryville team
was turned in by senior distance
runner John Livingston, who
picked up wins in the mile and
twio mile runs. In the mile Liv-
ingston was pushed to a time
of 4:39.9 before edging out the
second-place Emory runner.
Hugh McCampbell took third
place honors in the mile with
a 4:52.
Tn the two mile, Livingston
CREC HALLEN was the only Maryville trackman to do well in the field
events. Shown here making the final and winning throw. Hallen took Hie
javelin competition with a heave of 161 feet.
was easily the class of the field,
leaving all opposition behind
while recording a 10:39.9 time.
Billy Evaul took second place
and Keith Jones took third to
give Maryville a clean sweep.
Scots Sweep 880
With Rich Reed leading the
way, the Scots also made a clean
sweep of the half mile. Reed ran
to a 2:05.5 timing, while team-
mates Hugh McCampbell and
Phil Jerome turned in times of
2:07.7 and 2:08.6 respectively
to cop the other places.
Maryville's sprinters were
paced by Dick Craig. The fresh-
man from New Jersey ran a
23.1 to win the 220 yard dash
and a 10.2 for a third place
finish in the 100 yard dash. Jack
Smoot took third in the 220.
In the 440 yard run, the Scots
picked up second and third place
finishes from Dave Alexander's
51.7 and Jerry Bell's 52.5. Terry
Amon took third place in the
120 yard high hurdles, and Bob
Leach was edged out at the finish
Scot Basebailers Start Slowly; (IT, LMU
Inflict Two Setbacks As Hitters Fail Smith
After much delay caused by
inclement weather and spring
vacation, the Maryville College
baseball team took the field for
its first two regular season con-
tests.
U-T Outclasses Scots
The Maryville squad was pure-
ly outclassed by the U-T base-
bailers. After two scoreless in-
nings, the Vols erupted for six
hits and eight runs in the third
inning. Bearing the brunt of the
attack was freshman pitcher
Randy Smith. Hampered by poor
fielding and supported with only
two hits, singles by Sonny
Hughes and Sonny Webb, Smith
was tagged with the loss.
Scots Fare Better
In their second game, the Scots
did considerably better. Once
again it was Smith who toiled
on the mound for Maryville.
This time, however, the freshman
hurler had much more success.
After allowing the L.M.U.
team two runs in the bottom of
the third, Maryville came back
to score three in the top of the
fourth.
Rally. Started by Bowers
Shortstop Tommy Bowers
opened the outburst with a
double. An error by the L.M.U.
shortstop on Sonny Webb's
ground ball paved the way for
the three Maryville runs, as Joe
Scheideler, Frank Gready and
Randy Smith lashed singles.
After the Scots were retired
in the fourth, Maryville's Smith
and L.M.U.'s Bishop settled
down into a tight pitching duel
that prevented any more runs
until the top of the ninth, when I
Maryville increased their lead to
4-2. Singles by Smith, Kip Mar-
tin, and Sonny Hughes gave
Maryville what seemed to be an
insurance run.
LMU Scores Twice
As it turned out, the run saved
the Highlanders from defeat in
the inning as the L.M.U. squad
bounced back in the bottom of
the ninth to score two runs on
a pair of singles and a pair of
errors. The two tallies pushed the
teams into extra innings.
Finally after 14 innings,
L.M.U. scored the winning run.
Bishop, who pitched the entire
game for the Scots' opponents,
started the fatal rally with a
double and scored moments later
on a single by Smith, the first
baseman. The run gave the
L.M.U. team a hardfought 5-4
victory over the weary High-
landers.
Smith Stands Out
Catcher Sonny Hughes and
right fielder Frank Gready col-
lected two hits apiece for the
Scots, but the best performance
was turned in by Smith, who not
only pitched 14 strong innings,
but spurred his own cause with
two hits.

line as he took second place in

a time of 41.5.
Javelin Won by Hallen
In the field events, as men-
tioned before, Maryville did not
fare as well. Greg Hallen gained
Maryville's only first place
finish, when he hurled the
javelin 161' on his final throw.
Two freshmen, Cole Piper and
Ernie Greeno, added four points
to the Highlanders' total by tak-
ing second and third places in
the discus. Joe Kerr earned third
place in the shot.
Emory Dominates Jumping
Emory's dominance of the
field events was most obvious in
the jumping. Denny McGK)wan's
5' 10" high jump was good
Emory
enough for second place, and
Dave Alexander traveled 38'4"
for a second place finish in the
triple jump. Alexander and Mc-
Gowan were, however, the only
Maryville men to score in the
jumping events, and Emory
grabbed all other positions, in-
cluding sweeps in the broad
jump and pole vault.
Although the Scots went down
to defeat in their first meet, the
prospects for the rest of the
season are good. It is doubtful
that the Scots will be able to
dominate the distance events
throughout the rest of the year as
throughly as they did against
Emory, but, by the same token,
Maryville's opponents should not
be able to defeat Maryville in
the field as easily as Emory did.

OfDiHodils
and Defflocricy
This column must have been
intended to express student
opinion from the student govern-
ment viewpoint. As such, it has
not achieved its purpose. The
half-apt suggestions of Mike, the
paradoxes of Jon the Obscure,
and my own homilies have been
for the most part personal ob-
servations. Yet they have often
been interesting and amusing.
They have occasionally been per-
ceptive, if not well written — most
of the columns oould have used
a little tightening up. The
opinions expressed have been
those of a fabled clique, listened
to because of the positions held
by its members.
This year there has been criti-
cism of student council from
members of the faculty and ad-
ministration and from certain
students. To the former 1 offer
my sympathy — their only control
over student leadership is in the
approval or disapproval of stu-
dent council actions. But I
sympathize less with the latter.
While realizing the fallacy of
the democratic system, I feel that
Maryville students do not take
advantage of the opportunity
given them to express minority
opinions. Certainly student coun-
cil representatives should keep in
touch with their constituents,
seeking to be truly representative.
When they fail in this respect,
student council meetings are
open to anyone who wants to
voice an opinion.
As is traditional in govern-
mental circles, council policy
follows the majority opinion of
the council members. Any stu-
dent who feels that this opinion
is not concurrent with that of a
majority of the members of the
student body should say so. If he
keeps his mouth shut, he deserves
what he gets. And students this
year have for the most part kept
their mouths shut, at least in
public.
This is my swansong to the
Echo, so I'm taking a somewhat
premature backward look at this
year. Two incidents come to
mind which seem to be character-
istic of the year, and perhaps
characteristic of Maryville Col-
lege in general. TTie first is an
observation by a senior woman
earlier in the spring: "Of course.
This would be the year that
someone stepped on the Indomit-
able Daffodil."
The second occurred recently
at a Student-Faculty Senate meet-
ing. Two items of legislation
were almost held up by the lack
of a student quorum. The ac-

On Friday, April 23, at 7:0U
p.m. Alpha Gamma Sigma, the
Maryville College Honor Scholar-
ship Society, met in the Ix)unge
of the Fine Arts Center for the
dual purposes of inducting newly
elected members and of electing
officers for the coming academic
year.
The new members are seniors:
Ruth Carter, Norma Fisher, Mar-
garet Hanson, Kathie Kirk, Will
Mitchell, Mike Moyers, and Judy
Wasson. The two junior members
are Louise Crawford and Keith
Renne.
Elects new offieen
Alpha Gamma Sigma may
elect as members up to ten per
cent of the senior class. Member-
ship is based on a minimum
grade point average of 3.33 and
on qualifications in the fields of
scholarship and character. A
maximum of two junior members
with exceptional qualifications
may be elected in one year.
New officers for Alpha Gam-
ma Sigma for the coming aca-
demic year are president, Louise
Crawford; vice president, Sarah
B. McNiell. Duncan C. Bennett
will continue his term as secre-
tary of the organization.
Pollard to speak
On Tuesday, May 11, the
annual Alpha Gamma Sigma
Chapel recognition ceremony
will be held. The speaker will
be Dr. William G. Pollard,
Executive Director of the Oak
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Stu-
dies and a priest in the Episcopal
Church.
Dr. Pollard, a member of Phi

from the University of Tennessee
and his Ph.D. from Rice Univer-
sity. He is a fellow of the Ameri-
can Physical Society and the

2-The Highland Echo, May 1, 1965
We read recently about some sort of big ruckus at a Maryville-
type Presbyterian school — Tusculum College, Greeneville, Tennessee.
The News-Sentinel account, as usual, bordered on the hysterical
(funny-hysterical, not emotionally-hysterical). It seems that over
20% of the student body became aroused by a speaker from their
Rebels United for Freedom organization. The interesting thing here,
however, is not the speech or the ensuing riot, but rather the reaction
of President Rankin: "It was not too awfully serious. It was just one
of those things that go around campuses today."
After glancing through Mr. Moyers' last "Fort Mudge," we
have speculated as to an application of this situation to our campus.
The conclusion reached is that there is little, if any. We have few
Rebels, let alone of the United variety. Our administration would
hardly refer to such an outburst as "just one of those things.''
Other than the almost-annual hymnbook crises and the sentimental
Mother's Day affairs, we really are quite calm. Maybe it's because
we are so busy either doing or avoiding the work which is assigned
to us.

Editorials are what Laurence Sterne would call a "Hobby-

are verbose irrelevancies. But, they exist; and any editor has some
kind of privilege to go off half-cocked about anything under the
sun.

Dr. Pflanze and his Reinterpreted Gemany
by John Noel III
Dr. Otto Pflanze's lecture,
presented at M.C.. Friday, April
23, was entitled "A Reinter-
pretation of Modern German
History." The question Dr.
Pflanze sought to answer was
concerning the Nazi experience
in Hitler's Germany with its
ravages of the Jews and wide-
spread destruction in Europe:
How could this liave happened?
How much was this experience
a produ'^t of recent German
history? Way it something that
could liave happened anywhere
in Europe?
Two schools of thought named
Dr. Pflanze explained that
there are two main schools of
thought in answering these
questions — the critical school (of
which he is a member), who
trace German conduuct in the
20th century to events begun in
the 19th century and partly to
the influence of the Reforma-
tion; and the conservative school,
whose members are mostly Ger-
man scholars who feel that
nothing in German history is
solely productive of this event.
They trace the rise of Hitler and
participatiou of the masses in
government to a breakdown of
Bismarckian Germany after
1918.
Cultural cleavage explained
The main contention of the
lecture was that there was a
cultural cleavage between Ger-
many and western Europe that
had its beginnings in the Re-
formation. Some of the factors
w"hich contributed to this cultural
cleavage may be expressed as
variations in German develop-
ment of main themes present in
western European cviilization.
For example, the development
in Germany of a Protestant
church (Lutheran), under the
control of the German princes,
eventually aiding in the spawn-
ing of princely absolutism, the
late amplification of the German
middle class as a potent factor in
the power struggle, the German
concept of nationalism based
upon a common cultural back-
ground (language and customs)
while in western European
political citizenship the major
criterion for effective participa-
tion is in the state.
Perceptive style evident
Dr. Pflanze's lecture gave us
an example of the constant and
vigorous interaction between
scholars that lends itself to new
historical interpretations of the
significant events of the past. His
style showed depth and percep-
tion and his arguments were
quite complete in giving his
views. However, comparisons
were not sufficiently explained
by Dr. Pflanze, and some doubl
r'^mained after his conclusion.
A few weeks ago, the fifth
grade class where Marcia Hickey
student-teaches was given this
test question: "What are flesh-
eating animals called?" One
little boy innocently answered,
"Hungry." The answer was
"Carnivorous."

by Ken Young
Recent years have seen the
attentions of the world turned to
the heavens. Man's exploration
of space has turned thoughts
from the common, rather boring
wars of Vietnam and India to
the glorious conquest of the
outer limits. The question seems
naturally to arise: Why? Of
course, like Mallory's Everest, it
is there; but then, so is poverty
for a quarter of the world's
population.
Contemplation of the probable
contents of space should reduce
all desire to explore. Consider
the oratory of a self-dramatizing
politician, alone in his suite,
practicing the next day's fili-
buster. With no one in the room
to hear, where does the sound
go? Any physics student knows
that warm air rises, and it seems
natural to assume that the words
from his warm breath rise until
they escape the gravitational pull
of the earth and float aimlessly
in space.
Again consider an unretumed
love, wheretowith went Romeo's
love for Rosaline, who, incident-
ally, lost her chance for im-
mortality by being unreceptive.
There is no place on earth for
the frustration and yearning of
unrequited love, so it must drift
upward to join the rambling
soliloquies.
There also must soar the leng-
thy petitions of Monks closeted
for hours in prayerful medita-

tion. Sadness of any kind is'
usually hidden until moments of
solitude when it is expulsed in
a burst of sorrow, and with no
receiver, it too, is carried aloft.
Finally, consider' the pros-
pector who has lived unwashed
so long he can no longer smell
himself. All of his body odor and
bad breath are loosed into the
air which carries them beyond
the atmosphere into space.
Why, then, would anyone
want to step out into a space
filled with political oratory,
yearning, frustration, unrequited'
love, monastic prayers, sorrow,
bad breath, and body odors?
Certainly there is enough of it
on earth. I rather propose that
we turn our attention to an ex-
ploration of the underground
where these furies cannot possi-
bly penetrate. Think of the ex-
pediency to war of an under-
ground freeway to China!

REVIEW

J
by Ralph Tucker
The words composing the title of this review are taken from
:he first sentence of Saul Bellow's best-selling novel Herzog. Ac-
customed to the usual trend of such popular works, the reader moves
on to the next sentence fully expecting a clinical account of the
Sexual Experiences responsible for the narrator's present doubts
about his sanity. Instead there follo\^fs a plot summary of the entire
book: Herzog from New York to Martha's Vineyard and immediate
return; two days later a trip to Chicago to see his daughter; hence
to a small town in Massachussetts. The rest of the novel is equally
disappointing as typical best-seller material. Instead we seem to have
encountered genuine public support for a highly personal, complex
creation.

sian, Alexander Herzen, who said
of himself: "Life has taught me
to think, but thinking has not

Chief character described

Confusion concluded
Because of the confusion of
the novel — and the confusion of

Where has all the Grass gone?
By this time most everyone has
noticed the bare spot, the fenced
plot, and collection bowls situ-
ated under The Beech Tree be-
hind Anderson Hall, I hope. This
is my special studies research
project; .to find out why grass
doesn't grow there.
For those to whom this has
not been explained this is a re-
sume of what we think kills tne
grass, what is set up out there
and how it works, and our
methods of experimentation.
Hypothesis
Our hypothesis is that some-
thing produced by the tree is
toxic to the grass underneath it.
Something may be produced in
the leaves or roots; it may be
the soil, or the lack of light or
moisture; or it may be that the
beech nuts dropping on the
ground produce some toxic sub-
stance. We have considered these
possibilities because the perip-
hery of the bare area is just
about the same as the periphery
of the crown of the tree.
Equipment
The fenced plot is laid off
across the border between the

crown of the beech tree and an
elm tree there, and extends to-
ward the trunks of each. Inside'
the fenced plot are two posts with
collection cans on them to act as
rain gauges which record the
amount of rainfall. Also there is
a can out from under the trees
to record the rainfall there.
From a post in the center of
the plot, four wires extend into
the ground on a line between the
beech and elm. There is also one
with the rain gauge in the open.
These wires extend to what are
called moisture blocks, which are
small plaster of Paris cubes with
a resistor on the inside that re-
gisters the effect of moisture on
the plaster of Paris when a meter
is plugged into the jacks on the
central board. This is recorded as
percentage of available moisture
in the soil.
Along with the central mois-
ture block board on the central
post, is a maximum-minimum
thermometer, which records the
highest and lowest temperature
from time to time as it is read
and reset.
Procedure
The collection bowls on the
cinder blocks underneath the
beech are to collect water that
drips through the tree when it
rains, which is used in germinat-
ing white clover seeds. A control
set of seeds watered with water
collected out in the open was
ser up. Also, subsequent batches
of seeds watered with beech
water, collected at various times
as the leaves develop, are set up
and incubated as the control
batch was. About every 12 hours,
seed counts of each are taken to
check for variation in germina-,
tion rate. By our hypothesis, the
germination rate should decrease
as the leaves develop. We'll .see
what happens.
The soil is also being leached,
which is dissolving the chemicals
in it, with distilled water. This
solution will be tested for toxic
substances also.
In addition to the above pro-
cedures, a species of grass that
grows under beech trees in the
Smokies will be transplanted
down here under this beech tree
to see if this tree has any effect
on its growth.
Conclusion
All of these data and observa-
tions will be compiled when it is
felt that enough experimentation
has been carried out to scienti-
fically formulate a conclusion as
to why grass doesn't grow under-
neath That Beech Tree.

4-The Highland Echo, May 1, 1965
Netters Win Four Straight; Howard Stars
After losing four of their first
five matches, the Maryville Col-
lege tennis team put together
four consecutive victories last
weeik in an effort to bring their
season's record above the .500
mark. Two losses, however, after
the week, of successes offset the
mid-season spurt and doomed the
Scots to a slightly sub-par season.
Maryville Defeats Mars Hill
Maryville began its victory
streak by turning back Mars Hill
by a tally of five matches to four.
Pacing the Scots' narrow triumph
was number one singles man
Lynn Howard. The lanky junior
easily won his match with Mars
Hill's Bill Cole.
In addition to Howard's victory
in singles competition, Pete
Parks and Alan Ohilds also suc-
ceeded in defeating their op-
ponents.
Doubles Matches Clinch Victory
With the score of the match
knotted at 3 apiece after the
singles, Maryville's doubles teams
swept two of the three points to
give the Scots their five to four
victory. Lynn Howard and Rich
LYNN HOWARD, Scots' number one singles player, paced the Maryville
surge last week, winning five of six singles matches. Teaming with
Rich Marshall in doubles, Howard was again successful in five of six
matches.
Marshall, playing in the first second team, registered decisions The Scots' second victory in
doubles slot, and team captain over their opponents from Mars their streak of four came at the
Bob Paul and Pete Park, the Hill. expense of Lincoln Memorial
University. Again it was Howard
who paced the Maryville squad,
setting back the number one man
from L.M.U. in straight sets, 7-5
and 6-2. Rich Marshall, Pete
Park, and Bill Gass also scored
victories in the singles com-
petition.
Holding a solid four to two
edge, the Scots had only to win
one of the three doubles matcihes
to secure the victory. By defeat-
ing their opponents in straight
sets of 6-4 and 6-4, Howard and
Rich Marshall assured Mary-
ville's netters of the match. Pete
Park and Bob Paul also added
a doubles victory to bring the
final score to 6 and 3.
Asheville-Biltmore Is Next Victim
It was against the Asheville-
Biltmore squad that Maryville's
netters reached their season's
peak, turning back the North
Carolina school 9 to 0.
Only Lynn Howard, who had
to go twelve games before win-
ning the first set, was pressed
by his opponent. Bill Gass, Mary-
ville's fifth seeded netter, showed
the best mastery of his opponent,
winning by identical scores of
6-0 and 6-0.
The rout continued through
the doubles competition, as
Howard and Marshall, Park and
Paul, and Gass and Childs all
sfained victories.
Victory Continues to Evade Maryville Baseballers
Mars Hill Only Victim as Scots Lose Six Games
The Maryville College baseball
team continued to have little
success, losing six of seven games
played during the past two
weeks. The losses pushed the
Scots' season's record to one
and eight.
Maryville 5, Anderson 7
A four-run outburst by the
Scots in the sixth inning gave
Maryville a 5-4 lead over Ander-
son College. Two runs, however,
in the bottom of the inning,
pulled the Indiana school back
into the lead and clinched the
victory.
The Highlanders were led in
hitting by catcher Sonny Hughes
and shortstop Tom Bowers, both
of whom collected two 'hits in
four attempts. Benny Monroe
registered seven strikeouts while
going the route on the mound.
Maryville 1, Anderson 15
Meeting the Anderson College
squad ' for a second time, the
Highlanders had considerably
less success, falling by a score of
15 to one. Anderson jumped on
Maryville starter Jack Llewellyn
for seven runs in the first three
innings. Only in the fourth and
fifth were the Scots able to pre-
vent their opponents from scor-
ing. Tom Bowers and Sonny
Webb collected the Highlanders'
only hits, as the Anderson hurlers
limited Maryville to two lone
singles.
Maryville 3, Mars Hill 2
The Scots' first victory of the
season came at the expense of
Mars Hill in a rain-abbreviated
game played on the Maryville
diamond.
Mars Hill started off in tine
style, scoring two runs in the
first inning against Maryville
starter Randy Smith. After the
initial outburst, however, fresh-
man Smith held the Mars Hill
squad scoreless throughout the
rest of the game.
Maryville's runs were scored
in the third inning when singles
by Tom Payne and Sonny
Hughes, and a double by Sonny
Webb, brought home three runs.
Although the scoring was ter-
minated with Maryville's surge
in the third, the game was far
from over. The most serious
threat to Maryville's lead came
in the top of the ninth when
an error and two walks loaded
the bases for the Mars Hill team
after Smith had struck out the
first two batters. With two outs,
the bases loaded, and Mars Hill's
best hitter at the plate, the Scots
seemed on the verge of another
defeat. The moment of truth
never arrived, however, as the
rains came and the inning was
washed out. the score reverting
to the eighth inning with the
Maryville squad holding 3-2 lead.
Maryville 2, Carson Newman 15
One of the worst defeats of the
season was inflicted on Coach
Baird's charges by the Carson-
Newman Eagles, who blasted out
19 hits and 15 runs. In the mean-
time, two Eagle hurlers were
holding the Highlanders to four
hits, three of which were collect-
ed by catcher Sonny Hughes.
Maryville 0, Milligan 3
Traveling to Johnson City to
play Milligan College, the High-
landers found themselves in a
much closer game, but when the
action was finished, the results
were the same and Maryville had
suffered its sixth set back against
its lone victory.
With the exception of a three-
run outburst in the fifth inning,
Scot hurler Benny Monroe held
Milligan to three hits and no
runs. The fifth inning spurt,
however, was decisive, as Mary-
ville was unable to score, manag-
ing only thiiee hits against the
Milligan hurler.
Maryville 0. Mars Hill 10
In a return game with Mars
Hill, the only team they have de-
feated, Maryville was the victim
of a revenge victory. For the
second consecutive game, the
Scots were held scoreless. While
the Highlanders were collecting
four hits. Mars Hill batters
poked out nine hits and 10 runs.
Maryville 3, Emory & Henry 10
Emory & Henry College ban- .
Maryville extended their vic-
tory streak to four straight when
they played a return match with
L.M.U. As in the first match,
Howard, Marshall, Park, and
Gass all defeated their opponents
in singles competition; and the
doubles teams of Howard and
Marshall and Park and Paul had
continued success against the
L.M.U. team. Bob Paul, who had
lost in the first meeting of the
two teams, rallied to gain a
revenge victory over L.M.U.'s
James Durham.
Milligan Ends Steak
After four consecutive succes-
ses and after having run their
season's record to a respectable
5 wins and 4 losses, the Mary-
ville netters ran into trouble. The
first team to destroy the Scots'
pattern of success was Milligan
College. Only Bob Paul was able
to triumph over his opponent,
defeating Jerry Judd 6-4 and 6-2.
Scots Lose to Wasps
Emory and Heni; dealt the
Scots a second loss, pushing
Maryville's season record to 5
and 7. The Wasps had emerged
victorious in five of the eight
matches before rain halted the
proceedings. Lynn Howard and
Bill Gass took victories in the
singles matches over John Allen
and Craig Harris. In doubles
play, Howard teemed with Rich
Marshall in defeating their
Emory and He*iry opponents.
Kardatzke Hopes for TAIC Success
With the season nearly at its
end, the Highlanders can, at
best, finish with a record of 6

The Highland Echo, May 1, 1965-5
Tracksters Win Twice; Eagles Fall 76-60
Rebounding after a loss to
Emory University in the season's
opening meet, the Maryville Col-
lege track team came back with
a surge of power to win its next
two clashes. Milligan College was
the first to feel the strength of
Coach Howard Tomlinson's
forces, falling by a score of 721/2
to 63 V^. The Scots' next victim
was arch-rival Carson Newman.
The Eagles lost 76 to 60.
At the start of the season, it
was the general feeling of the
members of the squad that if the
performers in the field events
could merely remain even with
their opponents, Maryville's
strong corps of runners could
clinch the victory. Against Mil-
ligan and Carson Newman, this
theory was tested twice, each
time with different results.
Field Men Outscore Milligan
The deciding factor in the meet
with Milligan College was the
superior performance of the
field men. With junior Denny
McGowan leading the way,
Maryville's field men out scored
the Milligan team 311/2 to 221/2,
the margin of victory. McGowan
headed the strong showing by
taking first places in the high
jump with a leap of 5' 91/^" and
in the pole vault, jumping 10'
Denny McGowan
21/2". Dave Alexander 19'6" ef-
fort in the broad jump and Greg
Hallen's 159' 10" toss of the
javelin earned two more first
place finishes for the Scots, giv-
ing them four firsts in the six
field events.
In addition to the first places,
Maryville performers also took
their share of seconds and thirds.
Two freshman, Cole Piper and
Danny Styles, grabbed second
place finishes in the discus and
javelin respectively. Mike Dalton.

Scot Runners Match Milligan
Handed a nine point lead by
the field men, Maryville's nighly
touted runners were unable to
add to the margin. They did not,
however, lose any ground, as
they divided 82 points evenly
with Milligan squad.
Typical of the balance between
the two teams were the relays.
Maryville's quartet of Bob
Leach, Jack Smoot, Mike Dalton,
and Dick Craig sprinted their
way to first place in the 440
relay, but Dalton, Joe Suitor,
Rich Reed, and Jerry Bell lost
to Milligan in the mile relay.
The winning time in the 440 re-
lay was 44.6; Milligan's win-
ning time in the mile relay was
3:35.1.
Scots Score Three Wins
Of the eight individual events
on the track, Maryville took only
three first places. Dick Craig,
followed closely by Dave Alex-
ander, recorded a time of 23.2
in the 220 yard dash, as the
Scots took first and second in
the event.
Another first place was turned
in by freshman Bob Leach, who
won the 220 yard low hurdles
with a time of 28.2. In the other
hurdles event, the 120 yard
highs, the Scots lost a first place
when Terry Amon tripped and
fell, as two Milligan men swept
past him. Denny McGowan
finished third in the highs for
the Scots.
Maryville Sweeps 880
Maryville's final victory in the
running events came in the 880
yard run where Rich Reed, Hugh

CREC HALLEN has been one of the top performers on Loach Howard
Tomlinson's track team. Working exclusively with the iavelln, Hallen has
three victories to his credit and has not been defested this year.
McCampbell, and Phil Jerome
finished first, second, and third
respectively to post the only
sweep of the meet. Reed's win-
ning time was 2:05.1.
Milligan offset Maryville's half
mile success in the other distance
events — the mile and two mile
runs. Woodby won the mile with
a time of 4:36. Maryville's John
Livingston was second with a
4:39 and Milligan's Cornelius
took third. The trio finished in
the same order in the two mile
run. The winning time was a fine
10:04.6.
Other Maryville performers to
take points in the track events
were Dick Craig, who took
second in the 100 yard dash, and
Dave Alexander and Jerry Bell,
who ran their way to second and
third place finishes in the 440
yard run.
Scots Deteat Eagles
Against Carson Newman it was
ihe performance of the runners
that secured the victory for the
Maryville squad. Carson New-
man's field men piled up a sub-
stantial 35 to 19 score against
the Scots. Once the action switch-
ed to the track, however, Mary-
ville quickly caught up with the
Eagles and pulled away steadily
to give the Scots a 76 to 60
victory.
Craig Stars for Scots
Sprinter Dick Craig played an
important part in the Scots'
success on the track. Craig led
a Maryville sweep in the 100
yard dash, recording a 10.2 in
leading Jack Smoot and Mike
Dalton across the finish line.
Craig took a second first place
in the 220 yard dash with a time
of 23.4. Jack Smoot was second.
In addition, Craig lent his talents
to the relay teams, anchoring
Maryville's victorous 440 yard
relay quartet and carrying the
baton on the first leg of the mile
relay team, which took 3:35.5 in
winning the event.
The Scots traded first place
finished with the Eagles in the
hurdles events. Terry Amoii
finished second in the 120 yard
highs. Freshman Bob Leach won
the 220 yard low hurdles with
a time of 27.0. Leach also ran
on the 440 yard relay team.
Bell Wins 440
Jerry Bell, Maryville's hatd
working quarter miler, won his
speciality with a time of 52.2.
Lane Rapp edged out teammate
Joe Suitor for third in the 440.
Maryville continued its domi-
nance of the 880 yard run as
Rich Reed won his third straight
race with a time of 2:05. Hugh
McCampbell finished second be-
hind Reed, also for the third
consecutive time.
Only in the distance events
did the Eagles better the Scots.
The Scots' Livingston took
second in the mile and third in
the two mile. Billy Evaul took
s^econd in the two mile.
Hallen Undefeated in Javelin
Despite Carson Newman's de-
cisive 35 to 19 supremacy in the
field events, the Highlanders
matched them in first places,
each team taking three events.
Greg Hallen won the javelin to
remain undefeated in that event
with a heave of 161' 5". Dave
Alexander's leap of 20 feet, one
inch won the board jump, while

Tantastieks'-you
simply say no
by Karen Keen
The Fantasticks, written by
Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt
and directed at Maryville College
by TTiomas Jones, was presented
last night and will be presented
tonight and June 8.
Directed toward the audience,
The Fantasticks is a musical done
in cabaret style. Almost the entire
first act was taken from a play
by the French writer Rostand,
The Romancers. The plot in-
volves a boy, a girl, and their
fathers, who have discovered
that to manipulate children, you
simply say no.
One of the highlights of the
show is the Rape Ballet — rape
is a much more businesslike word
than abduction. Only an insensi-
tive clod could come away from
the theatre without laughing
dozens of times and crying at
least once.
Leading members of the cast
are Sarajune Schue as the Girl,
Luisa; Michael Quickel as the
Boy, Matt; and Harold Laster
as the narrator, El Gallo. The
supporting roles are played by
Cecelia Bridges, the mute;
Thomas Llewellyn, the girl's
father; David Clinkman, the
boy's father; David King, Henry,
the old actor; and Andy Ruhlin,
Mortimer, the actor who dies.

The Other Side
of the Coin
The recent announcement of
plans to reserve certain floors of
Carnegie Hall for September's
freshmen has been greeted with
something less than open-armed
warmth. The general reaction is
most often heard in terms of
personal inconvenience: no such
drastic break with past procedure
can expect too much else. Yet,
contrary to oftheard humor, the
plan was not intended primarily
for disruption of dorm life. Nor
was it a sadistic master-stroke on
the part of of an administration
— senior coalition in Student
Faculty Senate.
In September of 1964, 263
new freshmen entered Maryville
College. Seventy-five percent of
this number had been in the first
or second quartile of their high
school class. Yet, at the beginning
of second semester, 123 out of
284 fresihmen were on academic
probation : roughly forty-five
percent
Thia is no special reflection
on this year's freshmen: past
classes have managed to cover
themselves equally well with this
dusty glory. It is quite evident
that despite a marked increase in
the general abihty of incoming
freshmen over the past several
years, almost half manage to
achieve academic probation by
the end of their first semester of
college.
Student Faculty Senate has
been very concerned with this
problem. An extensive remap-
ping of orientation procedure
has been recommended, and
many aspects of the problem
were probed. The suggestion for
dormitory reorganization was
one outcome of this period of
study. Taken all alone, it is
difficult to see how such an
arrangement could help the situa-
tion. But this isn't the only step.
A unified, semester-long period
of orientation will be instituted
next year. New approaches in
pr^entation will be utilized. And
this is where the real significance
of this arrangement lies: in the
next and following yeare. With
new dormitories assured, new
procedures to make the best
utilization of such facilities are
necessary. And this is the final
context of the change: a period
of experimentation for future
planning.

dents by Dr. Robert A. Lynn,

Lip
service
Last Monday night the alumni gave the seniors a buffet supper
at the country club. It was really nice — we don't think there was
a moment of anything less than pleasantness the who-le evening. We
went in cars; we ate a lot of delicious food; we listened to the
Gentrymen, four young men of assorted sizes, looks, and intellects
(but with good voices), heard the class prophecy read (thanks to
this committee for the good job), and heard a short, to-the-point
talk by Mr. Brahams.
Soon we will be alumni. Aaaaaaaah (expression of joy).
The evening before, Sunday, was the scene of what could've
been the biggest (if least destructive) of Mother's Day Riots. It
stirred someone up enough to call the police, although it took three
calls to rouse President Copeland, and they say Dean McClelland
was having a good time — there, on the scene. It was covered by
three newspapers (generally speaking), the most critical account
being in the local paper.
We think it would be interesting to know just who called the
police. Surely it was no one of the college family — a little bird, an
irate neighbor, the KKK? Noise is noise, but water itself, outside,
is harmless and fun.
We have a new editor of the Echo for next year as you may
have read or heard: Carole Brownlee. She's capable and will do an
efficient job. And best to her.

seemed to enjoy their perfor

pecially in this play, for good
rapport with the audience and
with the author's purpose.
On Friday, April 30, there was
just a touch of that old bug-
bear— opening night haste.
The Narrator (Hal Laster)
began a little stiffly, but softened
up to credibility before the first
act was half over. The Boy (Mike
Quickel) assumed an unending
series of legs apart, hands be-
hind the back, cue-conscious
poses, but he spoke and sang
convincingly and wasn't too far
out of line when you consider
that the character he portrayed
was indeed just a boy.
Sarajune Schue as The Girl
sang well and danced gracefully.
She is capable of a good deal
more intricate footwork than
those few sashays around the
floor, but the set wasn't designed
for elaborate choreography.
Oh yes, and the mutes were
just a little too much at times. As
the main attractions they were
dehghtfully coordinated. When
they had to sit for a spell, those
head-bobbing, hand-flailing, 2 3
Skiddoo spasms bordered on the
cloying.
The Fathers (Tom Llewellyn
and Dave Clinkman) were won-
derful, light-hearted masterpieces
of tomfoolery.
The Old Actor, Henry (Dave
King) was an amalgamation of
Ben Franklin in BVD's and Ed
Wynne with delusions of
grandeur. Henry was lovable.
And Mortimer. Oh my dear
sweet Mortimer (Andy Ruhlin).
If I could die like you died, I
should hope to kick off everyday
at five and twice on weekends.
Mary Rucker and her five
tongue-in-cheekies infiltrated the
whole production with just tuC
right touch of engaging "once
more for kicks" music.
The set, lighting, makeup and
costumes were all in keeping
with the spirit of the play.

Our Student Teachers
A college graduate, who
moved directly from a college
classroom into fuUtime teaching,
described her first year of teach-
ing by paraphrasing Samuel But-
ler's wry remark about "life."
"It was," aiie said, "like playing
a violin solo in public and learn-
ing the instument as one goes
on!" In order to prevent this
type of entry into the teaching
profession, to make the first year
of teaching less of a succession
for mere survival, the opportu-
nity for student teaching is in-
cluded in our Education Depart-
ment.

material was concerned with the
War between the States, the two
teams were named the Yankees

Karen Summerlin, who is com-

her Log the recent experience
of helping to direct the Mary-

paration for their Annual Spring
Concert, May 14. A few of the
musical numbers being presented
include, "No Man Is an Island,"
"South Pacific" and Bach's
"Blessing, Glory, and Wisdom."

tion Department, the student

in Ruth Carter's Log can be
read, "While having a spelling
lesson with my second graders,
I decided to have the children
practice writing the words with
a finger in the air. They enjoyed
this tremendously, because it was
something different, but a few
got carried away and had to
stand up to dot an 'i'!"
Those completing their

Josephine Bums in the third

Mrs. Rhoda Williams in the fifth

Within Jane Criner's Log we
find, "This morning our class
was having a series of three
minute reading tests. The super-
vising teacher stressed emphati-
cally the idea of not getting out
of their seat during the nine
minutes. About the middle of
one of the testing periods one
lovable little redhead boy began
to twist and squirm around in his
seat and finally stood up. When
reproached quite severely by his
teacher and questioned as to why
he was standing up, he cheerfully
replied, 'That's the Star Spangled
Banner they're singing!' (The
Third Grade down the hall was
having music!)"
Student teaching occupies a
key position in the program of
teacher education both at the
elementary and secondary levels.
This experience might be de-
scribed as stumulating, chal-
lenging, and among the most
valuable for new teachers. But,
then, it should be all these and
more for those who will be work-
ing with the most important
American product — its enthusi-
astic young people!

ATALONS
by Harold Cones
Mordedhai, Gad, Eitan, and
Baruch — the Four Ayalons —
brought new life to our campus
in their hour-long performance
in the Music Hall. In a program
entitled "Echos of Israel Today,"
they presented entertainment of
a different flavor than we're used
to at Maryville — song, dance,
and satire all combined in a
"teaching method" of Israeli
customs.
An Israeli view of America —
our cowboys, skyscrapers, rock
and roll, and "Dr. Zimmerman
the Sheriff" brought down the
house, according to 275 people
who attended the performance.
Afterward the Ayalons led an
informal "reception" discussion,
answering any questions that
were given by students and
faculty who remained.
The personalities of the group
captured the audience, and con-
tinued to wherever they walked
and talked on campus.

Cumberland, Milligan Defeat Scots 77-59
Track Team Sweeps Past Bryan 114-22
Headed toward their first win-
ning season in recent years, the
Maryville College track team saw
their promising two and one re-
cord fall to two and three, as
first Cumberland College and
then Milligan College registered
identical 77-59 victories over the
Scots. TTie Highlanders repulsed
the prospect of dropping to even
lower depths, coming back in the
final meet to overwhelm Bryan
College 114-22 and square their
season's record at three wins and
three losses.
The meet with Cumberland
was the turning point of the
season. After losing their first
meet to Emory, the Scots had
rounded into shape and defeated
both Milligan and Carson-New-
man. Cumberland stood at the
middle of the schedule. A victory
would boost the Scots toward
success; a defeat, however, would
return them to the ranks of
mediocrity.
Cumberland, furthermore, pro-
vided Coach Howard Tomlin-
son's forces with their sternest
competition. Loaded with first-
rate distance runners and highly
capable field men, the Kentucky
sdhool has been consistently suc-
cessful in track.
Cumberland Defeats Scots
Held on a rainy day on the
Maryville track, the meet turned
into a Cumberland victory. Pil-
ing up a sound 35-19 margin in
him a total ot 11 points.
Scots Bomb Bryan
If the Scots felt pent up after
their two losses, they unleashed
their fury against hapless Bryan
College. In addition to winning
both relays, Scot trackmen swept
the shot put, high jump, pole
vault, mile, two mile, 880, and
440 in amassing a record total of
^ 114 points.
The flurry of Maryville points
began in the field events, as
Denny McGowan, Dave Alex-
ander, and Mike Dalton took all
three places in the high jump.
McGowan led another sweep in
the pole vault, as Ralph Johnson
and Ernie Greeno took second
and third places respectively.
LEADING THE SCOTS AGAINST BRYAN were Dave Alexander (I.) and
John Livingston (r.). Alexander led the rout by scoring 20 points, while
Livingston ended a 4 year career by recording easy wins in the mile and gj^Q^ putters Pat O'Bryan, Dave

finished second in the 100.
Senior Jerry Bell added an-
other Maryville victory by win-

ing. Dave Alexander took third
in the race. Bob Leach, the Scots'
fine low hurdler, won the 220

In the field events Greg Hallen

in such a completely Maryville-

paced by Dave Alexander. The

The Highland Echo, May IS, 1965-5
Late Surge Boosts Scots; Win Four of Six
Inspired peiiiaps by the rapid-
ly approaching end of the sea-
son, or, perhaps, by their 1-8
record, the Maryville College
baseball team rallied to win four
of their last six games and boost
their season's mark to five wins
and 10 losses.
In the streak, which was mar-
red only by losses to top teams
like the University of Tennessee
and Carson-Newman, freshman
hurler Rob Nicholas paced the
Scots, winning two of the four
triumphs.
Maryrill* 3, North C«orgia 2
North Georgia was the first
team to bow before the Scots'
new-found ability. The game
began as a tight pitcher's battle.
Jack Llewellyn toiled on the
mound for the Soots for the first
seven innings, allowing only
three hits and one unearned run.
The tricky left-hander was
pulled in the bottom of the
seventh inning, when the Scots,
trailing by a single tally, launch-
ed their first offensive threat. A
double by Sonny Webb and
John Agnew's single failed to
produce a run, however, and
Coach Boydson Baird brought in
freshman pitcher Rob Nicholas
to start the eighth inning.
Nicholas held the Georgia
batters scoreless and seemed well
on the way to his first victory
when his teammates scored twice
in the bottom of the frame.
Singles by Joe Scheideler and
Sonny Hughes and a walk to
Randy Smith loaded the bases
with two outs. An error by the
Georgia shortstop brought in the
two runs.
Northern Georgia, trailing by
a score of 2-1, rallied in the top
of the ninth to notch the game
at two runs each. The High-
landers were not to be denied,
however. Don Payne led off the
bottom of the ninth by drawing
a base on balls, Kip Martin
sacrificed him to second, and
Benny Monroe's clutch singles
brought him scurrying across the
plate with the winning run.
Maiyville 5, Milli9»n 3
Maryville's second victim was
Milligan College. Another fresh-
man hurler. Randy Smith, went
the route in picking up the
victory for the Scots.
After coming up with an un-
earned run in the second, the
Highlanders scored two more in
the third on Kip Martin's single,
an error by the Milligan second
baseman, and two infield outs.
The decisive runs came in the
fifth, however. First basemen
John Agnew and Sonny Hughes
both rapped singles and the Mil-
ligan shortstop contributed an
error, as the Scots pushed across
their fourth and fifth runs.
MaryvilU 6, U-T 17
The Volunteers from Tennes-
see ended the Scots' victory
streak at two. Blasting out 16 hits
and 17 runs against two Mary-
ville hurlers, the Vols easily
proved their supremacy. Joe
Scheideler, Benny Monroe, and
Sonny Hughes were responsible
for Maryville's three hits.
Maryville 3, Carton-Nawman 5
One of the most satisfying
games of the year for the High-
landers was their narrow loss
to power-laden, arch-rival Car-
son-Newman. In going tJie route
for the Scots, lefthander Jack
Llewellyn did an excellent job,
faltering only in the sixth and
eighth innings, when Eagle hits
and Maryville errors produced
five runs.
The Scots scored, the first nm
of the ball game when a walk
to Sonny Hughes, a sacrifice by
Tommy Bowers, and a single by
John Agnew gave them a 1-0
lead. The lead was erased in the
sixth when the Eagles pushed
across three runs.
The Scots were not yet defeat-
ed, however. Singles by Tom
Bowers, Jdhn Agnew, Don
Payne, and Jack Llewellyn scored
two runs in the top of the eighth
and knotted the score at three
to three. The Eagles, too, how-
ever, were determined not to be
defeated. Erupting for two tallies
in their half of the eighth and
setting the Scots down in order
in the top of the ninth, they

practice sessions last week. Head-

out for the team.
Head tootball coach Howard
Tomlinson listed three objectives
for the spring sessions:
1. To renew ideas and theories
used in Hie 1964 season;
2. To give the coachinf staff an
opportunity to try certain playen
at new positions;
3. To five the men an idea of
what type of work-outs tfiey
should plan for the summer.
Tomlinson stressed the fact
that the spring practices will
involve no scrimmaging and no
contact work. Mike Dalton and
Jim Pryor, co-captains for the
1965 season, will help to direct
the work-outs.

Maryville got bade into tlie
victory column against Emory
and Henry College. Rewarding
frelshmtn Rob Nidiok* his firat
starting assignment of the year,
Coach Boydaon Baird was him-
self, rewarded by a fine per-
formance from the young pitcher.
Nicholas allowed five runs in
ten innings to gain the victory.
On the baMS of a five run
outburst in the third inning,
Maryville ended the regulation
nine inning gtme with the score
tied at five runs. The heroics
were provided by Tommy
Bowers. Leading off for the
Scots in the top on the tenth
the powerful infielder hit the
third pitch over the fence for the
winning nm.
Maryville 7. LMU 2
Jack Llewellyn turned in his
third straight fine performance
on the mound for the High-
landers, as they defeated Lincoln
Memorial University seven to
two. In many respects the game
was the Scots' bwt of the year.
At the plate. Coach Baird's
squad rapped out 12 hits. The
most impressive showing, how-
ever, was made by the defensive
play of the infield, which rattled
off six double plays to continual-
ly thwart LMU offensives.
Maryville's hitters were led by
left fielder Joe Scheideler. TKe
senior outfielder rapped out
three hits, a single, double, and
home run, in four trips to the
plate. Sonny Webb also hit safely
three times in four attempts,
while Kip Martin and Tommy
Bowers had two for four.

A Familiar Plea
by Sue Hafdeman
Ferozepore . . . Frances Newton Hospital . . . Sound familiar?
Very familiar . . . What's the deeper meaning? Ferozepore is in
India and the Frances Newton Hospital is in Ferozepore. Good
grief, we hear that every day. And the 1964-65 Fred Hope Fund
goes there. Any more questions? . . . What will the money do? It
will build a laboratory technicians' school . . . Oh, yes, one that's
baldly, badly needed. Well, bye . . . Wait? Why? . . . Really? The
building has already been started — on the promise of our money?
You mean our money isn't there yet? All the pledges haven't been
paid yet? . . . Only $885 of the $1,486.60? Really? That doctor —
a woman isn't she ... Dr. Ferris sure must trust us . . . Maryville
College has given $13,000 to the Frances Newton Hospital since
1952! Never have thought much about hospitals in India. Guess
there really aren't too many — for all those people, anyway. Fred
Hope Fund sent all that money ... We can't let them down now,
can we? I'm going to go pay my . . . Wait a minute, I didn't make
a pledge this year. Can I give anyway? Of course, what a silly
question, huh? The more money, the better the school. And they
really need that school . . .

Scheideler Tops Soot Hitters
One of the factors in the Maryville College baseball team's less-
than-mediocre season has been the distinct lack of hitting. Statistics
released this week by the sports publicity office reveal that the team
has no one hitting above .300, and only four men on the seventeen-man
squad are hitting over .200.
Leading the hitters is lead-off man Joe Scheideler. The senior left-
fielder has rapped out 1 3 hits in 44 trips to the plate for a respectable
.295 average. Behind Scheideler are Benny Monroe .267, Jack Llewellyn
at .250, and Sonny Hughes at .236. A complete list of averages is found

Out, Out Sweet Prince
(or something lilee that)
For a good part of the last
four years, I have been advising
college administrators on various
school policies. My role has been
much more that of special pleader
than counselor. And for all my
efforts, ! seem to have collected
a bag of old advice. Perhaps I
was a bit forward; I suppose I
should have waited until my coun-
sel was requested. Yet I have the
very distinct feeling that it would
have been like waiting for the
Executive Council to show mercy,
i.e. a very long time.
This is not to suggest that stu-
dent government has its proper
plete waste of time for the past
four years. It has been a waste
only when it has encountered the
administrative attitude that stu-
den government has its proper
"place," and that it goes out of
that "place" when it offers
opinions on administrative poli-
cies. It seems to me to be slight-
ly absurd that educators not seek
and incorporate the ideas and
suggestions of the educated. Tlie
greatest danger an administrator
faces is a loss of contact with the
student. And this breach between
students and administrators is a
real possibility at Maryville,
where dormitory counselors can
be selected without the advice and
consent of the dormitory student
government, where student
government is expected to en-
force rules in which it lacks con-
viction, where the deliberations
of the administration are shroud-
ed by mystery and transmitted
by rumor, where certain areas
of our campus life are not open
to the student's scrutiny and,
hopefully, understanding.
Students do not desire control
of college administration. We are
much too busy pursuing educa-
tion — or whatever else we come
to college for — to replace the
deans and staff. We do have
some very definite ideas about
how to make educational pro-
jesses more meaningful and our
college community more liveable.
We do not seek ease and
simplicity. Student Council's ef-
forts to revise our freshman
•orientation should point out our
obvious concern and — forgive
me — mature judgment. We seek
education which allows for in-
dividuality; we seek administra-
tion which demands maturity
rather than conformity. If these
are ideals beyond the reach of
liberal arts education, then stu-
dent government will continue
to carry around its bag of old
advice.

It doesn't seem possible that we could have spent four years
here. We've been thinking that. But there's a fallacy in it because
we've spent only nine months out of each year here, so we've been
around a little bit.
This being our last chance, we feel we ought to say something
constructive (if not inspirational), even though it may be forgotten
or ignored in studying for exams, packing, saying goodbyes or see-
you-next-falls, grading papers, and sorting grade slips.
We like Maryville College. It took only a few months here for
us to be drawn in by whatever that air is about the place which,
after numerous declarations to leave after one or two years, keeps
a lot of us here for four. (It's probably that very thing which we
complain about — unworldliness, or other-worldliness.)
And we are glad to see Maryville College progressing. The
plans being made for the new science building, student center, and
new dorms are gratifying. Teachers' salaries are increasing; the
library, "the heart of the academic life," is expanding; Anderson
Hall is being beautified and made more efficent; we raised a million
dollars; and more things often cited.
It seems we're coming out of a period of sleep or dormancy.
We constantly see men — consuhants — on campui to advise, architects
to plan, and directors to make studies. These are good things.
However, it concerns us, though it may not some of our readers,
that a very important thing may be lost in the hustle to expand. Or
maybe it doesn't even seem important to you.
We are afraid that that certain something which makes us love
Maryville College, which made those many alumni and faculty and
staff and friends give to Maryville College so generously, may fold
under in the attempt to keep the. College from folding under because
of provincialism or inadequate financial resources, or whatever
might do that.
We doubt that the two are incompatible. Surely we can keep
up with the age and be a college family at the same time. (In-
cidentally, that much-scorned term is very useful sometimes.)
What we feel when we hear about cafeteria-style eating, 70
people in a class; and 2000 students is sick. Just because we are
a church-related college, led by virgorous, intelligent men and
women, we are not immune to depersonalization.
We are simply afraid that in the process of progress, the human
touch will be lost. And the worst thing about this is that it probably
could never he regained. We hope it won't happen.
This was the year that was.
When we're all part of that big
Alumni Association in the sky,
what will we talk about when
we have our class reunions?
What are the events and people
who will most clearly stand out
in our minds as we reminisce
about 1964-65? What are the
things that you remember best
about this past school year?
This was the year that W.
Clement Stone came to Maryville.
Author of a number of books,
very wealthy businessman, lay
leiader in the Church, professional
cheerleader, Mr.»Stone came to
Maryville with more books than
the Gideon Society has Bibles.
In its search for unique
speakers, Maryville College found
a winner, as Founder's Day was
turned into a pep rally for W.
Clement Stone. Phrases such as
"P. M. A." and "TERRIFIC!"
were added to the M. C. vo-
cabulary and students grabbed up
over 1500 free books. (Bet he
thinks twice before offering free
books to college kids again.)
It was hard to tell what school
of theology Mr. Stone belonged
to but somehow P.M.A. doesn't
fit in with more old-fashioned
ideas of humility and a Christ-
centered life.
This was also the year that Dr.
Eugene Carson Blake, head of
the Presbyterian Church and "a
known Communist," came to
Maryville. As everyone knows,
Dr. Blake is a "race agitator,"
"supports the Supreme Court's
ban on Bible reading and pray-
er," and has called for "the
diplomatic recognition of Red
China" among other sins.
Furthermore, he must be against

motherhood and is a known kick-
er of dogs.
Naturally, since the integrity
of the college was at stake for
inviting him here, the Noble
Knights of the Bedsheet — the
good old KKK, where everyone
is equal except those who get to
wear red robes because they're
more equal — visited the campus
to warn us about this unsavory
person. College officials were
said to be afraid that students
might get out of hand and start
something with the Klansmen^
but students were laughing too
hard at the ridiculous spectacle.
February Meetings this year
were a bit out of the ordinary
as the Maryville Scots brought a
real Scotsman to the campus.
Dr. George Docherty, who has
the unfortunate distinction of
being the man who succeeded
Peter Marshall in Washington,
brought his brogue and wit to
the yearly religious emphasis
week.
A n informal, captivating
speaker. Dr. Docherty ruined the
week for a number of students
who had planned to take their
chapel cuts that week, for they
found that he was not only an
entertaining person, but that he
had something important and
relevant to say.
Unfortunately, he felt compel-
led to take a few pot shots at the
Salt Cellar, M.C.'s coffeehouse-
type meeting place, and you just
don't do that around here. We
were also quite impressed when,
a week or so following his visit
here. Dr. Docherty was quoted
in the wire services and in Time

A move to U-T by many Mary-
ville seniors has been encouraged
by assistantships, held by Norma
Fisher, Sara Fulton, J. W. Nicols,
Buck Petty, John Riddle, and
Jerry Stewart.
Other U-T grad students, who
will also be coaching Arthur for
the big Washington race next
year, include Bob Paul, Joe

The other chetnical wonder, Phil
Rittersbacker, with an assistant-
ship, will be at Appalachian
State Teachers College.
After four years Mike Moyers

consin.
Maryville has a promising
batch of theologians this year.
Cool Kerns insists that after a
summer of factory working,
semi-pro baseball, a farm job,
preaching, dating M. Hanson,
and teaching Sunday School, he
is going to end up at Louisville
Seminary. Completing the M. C.
crew at Louisville are Gorman
Parrish and Ken McHarg and

Ken Young has his sights set
on Switzerland; Phil Jerome's
mom is trving to get him packed

he participated in the protests in
Sclma, Alabama.
'64-'65 was also the year thai
a new honorary society was
formed at Maryville. Open to all
who helped desecrate the library
last year. Kappa Mu Alpha
symbolized the absurdity of the
three demerits meted out to all
who checked out five Bible books
in one day. (We'll* never know
if the rumor is true that the
KMA Homecoming Float actually
did win a prize but that the Ad-
ministration vetoed it.)
And a discussion of the past
school year wouldn't be complete
without mentioning the student
body officers, lliis year's presi-
dent was Mike Moyers, whose
unprecedented victory as a write-
in candidate came hard on the
heels of his conviction as an
automobile owner. Mike will
probably be best remembered in
years to come for his stirring
chapel talks that thrilled and
moved both people who could
hear him.
This year's vice-president was
Jon Hinderer, noted for his natty
attire and an unlimited charge
account at .Proffitt's Department
Store. Martha Cook served as
secretary and was particularly
noted for the grace and ease
with which she handled herself —
except on the Chapel steps.
There are so many more
things that happened this year
that it would take another year
to recall them all. This was the
year the U.C.C.F. made its debut,
something called the Salt Cellar
appeared as an experiment in
<;ommunication, our athletic
teams consistently beat mubh
larger opponents. President Cope-
land visited the campus occasion-
ally, surfing and skateboards
hit the campus, and James Bond
was elected Man of the Year.
We had fun, worked hard,
worried, laughed, completed In-
dependent Study, and were sad-
dened to lose several friends of
the college. This is a time of
excitement and relief for most
seniors but, although most of us
won't admit it, we will kind of
miss this place next year.

In our emphasis on academics,
Vhile we found many students
who were interested in the pro-

has been most certainly demon-
strated that student interest has
been largely that of spectator

justified in coming to the con-
clusion tJiat the majority of the

to only a minority. This is why

scene. The best alternative would

Baseball Team Wins Once; Five Seniors End Careers
Striving to bring their season's
record to a respectable nine wins
and ten losses, the Maryville Col-
lege baseball team faltered last
week and dropped three of its
final four games. The setbacks
lowered the Scots' season's record
to six and thirteen.
Tht major flaw in the High-
landers' plans was Bryan pitcher
Ralph Heath. Twice the left-
handed hurler defeated the Mary-
ville hitters, winning 12-3 at his
home school and 4-0 when he
headed the Bryan contingent to
the MaryvUle campus. The other
loss was inflicted by Cumberland,
which outlasted the Scots 9-8,
after falling prey to the High-
landers in the first half of a
double header.
Bryan Scores Twelve
The first game at Bryan served
as batting practice for the Bryan
hitters, as they collected 16 hits
and 12 runs off three Maryville
hurlers. The onslaught started in
the first innning when Scot start-
er Randy Smith was victimized
by three runs and three hits.
Bryan, after being shut out in the
second and third, got three more
in the fourth, and then continued
to puU away from Maryville,
scoring twice in each of the fifth,
sixth, and seventh innings.
Meanwhile, Bryan hurler Ralph
•Heath was holding the Scots to
three runs. The initial Maryville
tally came in the first inning,
when Benny Monroe scored on
Tom Bowers single. The Scots
scored two more is the eighth.
Benny Monroe singled and Sonny
Hughes blasted a home run.

Maryville was led in hitting
by Monroe, who collected two
hits in three trips to the plate,
and Sonny Hughes, who also hit
safely twice.
Cumberland Falls to Llewellyn
The Scots' next competition
was against Cumberland College,
meeting the Kentucky school in
a double header. The first game
saw the Scots notch their sixth
victory, as Jack Llewellyn went
the distance, limiting the opposi-
tion to a total of three runs. Only
in the sixth, when Cumberland
scored twice did the Maryville
hurler experience any trouble.
The two Cumberland runs in
the sixth gave them a three to two
lead. Maryville batters were
quick to respond to the challenge,
however, and scored four times
in their half of the sixth to sal-
vage the victory for Llewdlyn.
Tom Bowers touched off the rally
by doubling to open the frame.
Sonny Webb drew a base on balls,
and Jack Llewellyn stroked a
single to being in both runners.
Senior infielder Kip Martin
tripled to continue the barrage.
The final Maryville counter came
when Martin was forced in from
third when the Cumberland
hurler issued three consecutive
walks.
Cumberland Cains Revenge
In the second half of the
double header Cumberland gain-
ed revenge by edging the High-
landers nine to eight. Joe Schei-
deler opened the game in top
style by hitting a long home run.
Maryville continued to demon-
strate lusty hitting by picking up
two more runs in the second,
when Don Payne, Kip Martin,
and Scheidder all stroked singles.
Cumberland hitters were at the
same time, however, also collect-
ing runs. After scoring two in
the first, they earned four more
in the third on two walks and
three hits, one of them a two-on
homer. Maryville continued to
battle back, and three runs in
the fourth tied the score at six
each. Strangely enough, these
three runs were the result of a
combination of errors, bases-on-
balls, and wild pitches by
Cumberland, as only pitcher Bob
Nicholas collected a hit for the
Highlanders.
Decision Comes Late
The game was decided in the
final two innings. Cumberland
scored once in the eighth and
twice in the ninth to open up a
three-run margin. The Scots man-
aged to get two of them back
in the ninth, when shortstop
Don Payne singled in Sonny
Webb and Buck Petty. The rally
fell ^hort, however, the the Mary-
ville squad were forced to settle
with a split of the twinbill.
Heath Shuts Out ScoH
The final game of the season
was played against Bryan Col-
lege. As in the first game witli
Bryan, the Maryville hitters ex-
perienced difficulty in hitting
the offerings of Ralph Heath.
Although they collected seven
hits, the Scots were unable to
score off the hard throwing
Bryan hurler.
Losing pitcher was senior
Benny Monroe. Although he
matched Heath's total of hits al-
lowed, Monroe was victimized by
a three-run outburst in the third
inning, which clinched the vic-
tory. Don Payne led the Mary-
ville hitters with two hits in thr*^
trips to the plate.
Five Seniors Lost
Graduation losses will be heavy
on Coach Boydson Baird's forces.
Kip Martin, Benny j^onroe, Tom
Bowers, Joe Scheidder, and Buck
Petty were all performing in
their last year for the Maryville
squad. There are several reasons,
however, why Coach Baird can
look forward to upcoming cam-
paigns. In Don Payne and John
Agnew, Baird has two fine fresh-
man prospects. Catcher Sonny
Hughes and center fielder Sonny
Webb will both return for action.
Most important is the surplus of
talented young pitchers. With
Randy Smith, Jack Llewellyn,
and Bob Nicholas due back,
Baird can expect to have a strong
trio of starters. With knuckle*
bailer Dan Rothy and John
Agnew in the bull pen, the Scots
will be able to call on strong
relief men if the starters get in
trouble.
There is nothing in this world
constant, but inconstancy.

Twenty M.C. Athletes Slated for Graduation
Graduation is a time for look-
ing back as well as for looking
forward. Despite repeated mes-
sages that eyes should be kept
on the future, the approach of
commencement exercises would
be incomplete if seniors were not
allowed to review their four years
of college life and forbidden sen-
timent and nostalgia.
It is not strange that many
memories of Maryville College
will be related to the area of
sports. Remembrances of highly
successful football teams and
pleasurable afternoons watching
the tennis team stroke its way to
frequent victories will not be in-
frequent for Maryville graduates.
Among the names listed for grad-
uation this spring, twenty of the
men have distinguished them-
selves on the athletic fields. It
is hoped that this article will in
part afford a final tribute to
their abilities.
Track Loses Bell, Livingston
Only two seniors will be lost
to the track team this year, Jerry
Bell and John Livingston. After
transferring to Maryville as a
junior, Bell proved to be an out-
for the Scots for four ye'ars.
Running both the mile and two
mile runs, he developed into a
consistent winner for the track
team.
r
Benny Momrot
Six Baseballers Cradpate
Baseball is an area hard hit
by the graduation of the class of
1965. Although he used up his
last year of eligibility in the '64
season and was unavailable for
action this year, the name of Red
Prudhon is often remembered in
relation to his baseball ability.
A fine fielder and an adept hit-
ter, Prudhon anchored the team
from his shortstop position.
Jerry Bell
standing quartermiler. A vigor-
ous personal training program,
which starts in September, en-
abled him to team with Dave
Alexander in giving the Scots a
strong 1-2 punch in the 440. In
addition, .Bell performed ad-
mirably as an<ihor man on Mary-
viUe's mile relay team.
Livingston, whose abilities in
the distance events won him the
nickname of "The Machine"
from his teammates, has toiled
Bowers gave Coach Baird a
dangerous long ball hitter and
steady infielder, while Petty add-
ed a strong competitive spirit
from his second base position.
Benny Monroe and Kip Martin
also performed admirably for the
Scots in baseball. They distin-
guished themselves more thor-
oughly in other areas, however,
and will be treated later.
Paul Captains '65 Squad
"Hie final spring sport, tennis,
had only one senior participant
— Bob Paul. Paul is another
four year letterman. Playing in
the number four singles spot for
most of his career, he captained
the squad as a senior.
Martin, Moyers Leave Hardwood
Four seniors distinguished
themselves on the basketball
court. Kip Martin, a guard, also
performed well as a football and
a baseball player, but his talents
on the hardwoods were most
impressive. He captained the
team in his junior year, and
proved himself to be a good ball
handler and fine leader, as well
as a capable scorer.
Mike Moyers lettered for foui
years on the basketball team. A
strong rebounder, he developed
into a good scorer throughout
his career. Mike Gregory and
Bill Schellenger also performed
for Coach Baird's cagers, al-
though their eligibility expired
before the 1964-65 season.
Davis Loses Two Crapplers
Gene Dixon and Will Mitchell
A three letterman, Kip Martin here scores a basket for the Scot Netttrt.
are the senior representatives
from the wrestling squad. Dixon,
after competing at 130 pounds,
moved up to the 147 pound
bracket during his senior year.
At this position he worked well
and was elected captain for the
1964-65 season. Will Mitchell's
activities in extra-athletic func-
tions, such as debate did not
prevent him from becoming a
first rate 137 pound wrestler. His
exciting and explosive style
earned him many pins.
Bill Napier
Scheideler Tops Hitters as Senier
Joe Scheideler is a four-year
letterman in baseball. Switching
between the! outfield and the
pitcher's mound for his first three
seasons, Scheideler led the team
in batting average, home runs,
and rbi's in his senior year, when
given a chance to limit his activi-
ties to left field and batting.
Tom Bowers and Buck Petty
also served on the baseball squad.

Joe Scheid'ler Tops Hitters,
Dominates Batting Statistics
Joe Scheideler, senior left fielder for the Maryville College
baseball team, dominated hitting honors for the squad this year.
Responding to the challenge of his final year of eligibility for the
Scots, Scheideleir led the team in batting average, runs batted in,
and home runs. Furthermore, he tied for second in doubles.
Scheideler's .281 average easily clinched hitting honors. Benny
Monroe's .256 was second, and Sonny Hughes hit .229 for third.
In the home run department, Scheideler collected tliree. Sonny
Hughes and Tom Bowers were the only other Scots to hit for four
bases, each collecting one.
Tlie eleven rbi's collected by Scheideler also paced the team.
Sonny Hughes and Bowers knocked in five apiece to place second
in the category. Below are the batting averages of the individual
members of thd squad.

Monroe Wins National Honors
Maryville's greatest successes
were recorded by thp football
team. Their hard-nosed, spirited
brand of play won not only local
but also national recognition for
the College. Perhaps the best
known name connected with
Maryville College football is
Benny Monroe.
After several mediocre' seasons,
Monroe lived up to his fullest
capabilities in his senior year.
Setting many Maryville College
passing and offense records, ^e
senior quarterback was selected
to the Little AJl-American team.
In addition to his individual
laurels, Monroe led his team to
records of 8-1 and 7-1 in his
junior and senior years.
Lingnfelter Sets Record
If Monroe should have evei
faltered. Coach Tomlinson had
another first-rate quarterbadc in
H. H. Linginfelter to send into
action. A fine passer and field
general, Linginfelter set a Mary-
ville College record when he com-
pleted 9 to 11 passes while an
injury kept Monroe on the side-
lines.
Berry is Little A-A
Among the other backs per-
forming on the grid iron, several
gained recognition. Ken Berry
was a Little All-American full-
back in the 1963 season. More
recently, Roland McClanahan
and Jeff Slagle added power and
speed to the Highlander badc-
field. McClanahan, a fast, power-
ful, and compact runner, was
leading the team in rushing until
a leg injury sidelined him half-
way through the season. Jeff
Slagle ran out of the fullback
slot for the Scots and won All-
Area laurels for his performance.
Two Co-Captains Serve in Line
Among the linemen, two co-
captains will be graduating this
spring. Bill Napier distinguished
himself for his rugged defensive
play at tackle. Weighing 225
pounds, Napier was a valuable
asset in stopping enemy running
games.
Wilbur Ramsey served as co-
captain during the 1963 season,
when the team registered an 8-1
record. Fast and aggressive,
Ramsey was a strong blocker and
a sure tackier. He served as end
coach during the 1964 campaign.

$.C. Welcomes Fresh
by Bill Erwin
September 14th — Orientation
Week — new freshmen enter
Maryville College. They, as
thousands who have gone before
them, will find that the "fresh"
end lof their new-found status
soon disappears and heavy
arademic responsibilities rapidly
mold them into veteran students.
A college career has become a
^■palitv.
UCCF vitally concerned
Where so much responsibility
is placed upon the individual's
capacity to produce academic-
ally, it is quite easy to /orget
that a world of people still con-
tinues to sleep, eat, mourn, and
laugh. The United Campus
Christian Fellowship is vitally
concerned that the students of
Maryville College do not forget
that their role as students calls
them to be involved and interest-
ed in the world in which they live
and in the people inhabiting
their world.
Salt Cellar begun
How does UCCF attempt to
meet this concern? Follow a
Artist Series
Announced
Maryville College is visited
each year by prominent artists.
The 1965-66 Artist's Series will
be exceptional in the talent dis-
played. The season opens Oc-
tober 15 with Walter Carringer,
lyric tenor returning to his native
Blount County to perform at
Maryville. On October 30, a
drama, The White Rose and the
Red, including a sweep of history
from Shakespeare's Henry V,
Henry VI, and Richard III will
be presented. February 24, the
Saltzburg Marionette Theatre
with three-feet high puppets will
give a comic opera performance
of Tschaikovsky's Nutcracker
Suite. April 2 Cellist Tsuyoshi
Tsutsumi, former student at
Suzuki Violin School will per-
form.
Dr. Lloyd Addreses
Graduating Class
President Emeritus Ralph W.
Lloyd, a graduate of the Fifty-
Year Class made the address
for the 146th Commencement
tfiis year in ceremonies June 9
for the graduating class of 138
seniors.
The Classes of 1915, 1920,
1925, 1930, 1935, 1940, 1945,
1950, 1955, and 1960 held
reunions and the alumni dinner
was Saturday, June 5.
The graduating class this year
is made up of 111 students who
completed the requirements for
a degree in June. In addition, 14
others completed the require-
ments in January, and 13 more
are expected to finish at summer
school. 83 of the seniors were
candidates for the Bachelor of
Arts Degree, 25 for the Bachelor
of Science Degree, and 31 for
the Bachelor of Science in
ELducation degree.
maze down some steps into a
cellar and there spread before
you are tables, lights, paintings,
a stage with speaker leading an
informal discussion; you have
discovered the Salt Cellar. Here
is where one can come to hear
the Christian faith challenge and
be challenged by every con-
ceiveable idea.
"Feedback" promotes dialogue
The "Feedback" is a news-
paper. More than just a news-
paper, however, the "Feedback"
is conversation in written lorm
providing still further opportuni-
ties for members of Maryville
College to be confronted with
relevant ideas.
Other opportunitits available
Salt Cellar and "Feedback" are
definite areas that are now
functioning under UCCF, but
education, service, worship, and
social life of the campus are four
general areas through which
UCCF works. Speakers (from a
John Bircher to a "Communist"),
seminars, study groups encourage
students to continue their educa-
tion beyond the textbook, labora-
tory, and classroiom. If a stu-
dent wishes to share some of his
time with others, he can find
ample opportunity through pro-
grams with the children's home,
old folk's home, the mentally
retarded, children who need
tutoring, and in a score of other
service programs. Perhaps most
important of all is the need for
students and faculty to pause dur-
ing their busy lives to express
their thanks to God for the op-
portunity to use their minds and
simply for life itself.
UCCF? A Fellowship? Yes, a
fellowship because it is composed
of those who care in some way
for other people; a fellowship
because those involved are taking
a chance on loving the people
of this world.
Shown above are Hugh McCampbeU snd Hank Seitz, elected as Preeident
and Vice-President of the Student Body on April 27.

Officers Ask for OpinioRS
by Hugh McCampbell
and Hank Seitz
As the '65-'66 year at Mary-
ville College approaches, all of
you are probably receiving wel-
comes from, and being introduced
to every organization on campus.
Behind all these clubs, activities,
and organizations is the Student
government, which co-ordinates
and leads the majority of them.
The Student Council of '65-'66
would like to add its welcome to
this list of well-wishers, with an
invitation to participate in the
activities and opportunities at
hand. There is a tremendous
amount of untapped potential al-
ready in the student body, and
coupled with that of the incom-
ing freshman class, the pos-
sibilities for next year look
quite good.
As you probably realize, the
coordination of the Student
Body is achieved through co-
operation of the Student body
officers and representatives, and
the students themselves.
At times, freshmen seem
somewhat reluctant to voice
opinions and ideas. Therefore,
we the student body officers
would appreciate your thoughts,
so feel free to talk and ask
questions wherever you are or
wherever we are.
Three New Dorms
Planned for Fall
With plans for eventually
building seven new dormitories,
Maryville College has announced
the constructon of the first three.
These dorms, two for women and
one for men, will — hopefully —
reach completion by the fall of
1966. Both of the women's units
will be near New Dorm, while
the men's unit will be on the
ridge between the McClelland
home and the football field. All
dorms will be the same size (92'
x 109', and housing 125 men or
112-115 women) and the same
design, except that the women's
will have larger parlor areas.
Unlike present dormitories,
the new buildings will follow
the contemporary "small group
living" design. This means that
each of the three living floors
will be divided into four quad-
rants of five rooms each. Every
quadrant of these three dorms
will house eight freshmen in
double rooms and one upper-
classman counselor in a single
room. Although quadrants will
have individual study areas, pairs
of quadrants will share lounges
and toilet facilities.
In addition, the students will
have access to a b'asement con-
taining a kitchen, storage rooms,
and a large recreation area.
Offices and apartments for the
housemothers will be on the
ground floors. New features of
the dorms include complete air-
conditioning, wall-to-wall car-
peting, and an intercom system
between each room and the
office.

Dorm Goverment
HER,
If
HIS
The Women's Student Govern-
ment Association, WSGA, is an
organization in which all resident
women hold membership. Its
purpose is to provicje self-govern-
ment for the womfen in the dormi-
tories with the view of main-
taining standards of Christian
living at Maryville College. E^ch
woman can be an actvie parti-
cipant in WSGA by becoming
aware of dormitory needs and
demands as well as by suggesting
improvements.
Every dorm has a House
Council responsible for main-
taining good management of the
dorm in coop^ation with the
housemothers. The Coordinating
Council, made up of ten elected
members representing all the
dorms, acts as the go-between of
w.omen students and the ad-
ministration and reviews any dis-
ciplinary problems that are not
handled by the house councils. It

spring semester, MSC and the
Dean's office have cooperated in
working out a new dormitory
system for next year. Ten upper-
classmen have been selected to
be resident assistants, helping
the supervisor of the dorm and
counseling freshmen.
Freshmen having any questions
concerning adjustment to college
life should feel free to consult
the assistants at any time.

Fred Hope Fund
sends India Aid
tlere at Maryville College, the
words, "Fred Hope Fund," are
part of everyone's vocabulary.
Fred Hope was a Maryville stu-
dent early in this century. After
graduation he went to Africa,
and there established a school to
teach the natives useful industrial
arts. Students remaining at Mary-
ville also aided in the work by
sending money to support the
school. The Fund continued
through the years, and after Fred
Hope's death the money was sent
to be used for worthwhile pro-
jects in different parts of the
world. Each year Maryville's stu-
dents and faculty have an op-
portunity to pledge any amount
of money to the Fund.
The Frances Newton Hospital
of Ferozeopur, India, has been
one of the favorite objects of
the Fred Hope Fund. The re-
ceipts of this year's Fund will go
to Ferozeopur, for the develop-
ment of a laboratory assistants'
course at the hospital. And once
again Maryville College will have
taken advantage of its opportun-
ity to express a concern for an-
other part of the world.
...AND HEARD
I went to the square dance, but there were so many squares
that I couldn't dance ... I have to go back and put on some (Jry
sneakers . . . What did you say your name was again? . . . You
would think she's the only teacher I have ... I want an intellectual
book . . . When the bell rings, RUN ... I wanted to come to
a larger school . . . Original ignorance . . . W'hat's a Chilhowean?
... I dreamed i was trampled in the communications center ... I
didn't sleep too well in chapel-that seat is so uncomfortable ... In
fact, this college does remarkably well in the outside world . . .
That's the trouble with a lot of people around here-they're Northern
hillbillies . . . College catalogs are not usually very accurate about
these things ... It is, sir, a small college, and yet there are those
who love it . . . The student center is a w.onderful example of the
depression years — or army surplus.

Outlook Optimistic for Scots' Success
Defense Is Key to Grid Strength
After compiling an impressive 7-1 record last season under head
coach Howard Tomlinson. the Maryville Scots are looking forward
to another successful gridiron campaign. Naturally the loss of Little
Ail-American quarterback Benny Monroe will hamper the Scot's
offense, but according to most observers, the defense will be as
strong as ever. This is Maryville's brand of football. As Coach
Tomlinson asserts, "We are basically a defensive football team."
Veterans to return
The middle defensive line will
again boast such stalwarts as 230
pound co-captain Jim Pryor, 210
pound Steve Worrell, 210 pound
Charles Berry, and Big Gary
Button at 260 pounds. Line-
backer is perhaps the toughest
position on the team. Veterans
Don Story and Ray Eaton are
backed by Ken Christy, Earnie
Greene, and Shan Harris, who
have seen considerable action.
Finding a replacement for safety-
man Mike White, lost to aca-
demic difficulties, is the most
serious problem facing the Scot's
defensive coaches.
Ramsey Dalton to combine
Offensively, the Scots will be
without co-captains Bill Napier
and (>lint Abbot in the line, full-
bark Jeff Slagle, tailback Roland
McClanahan, and quarterbacks
Monroe and H. H. Linginfelter.
A shortage on experience will
hamper the backs in their quest
for touchdowns. A new pro-set
formati(m to supplement the al-
ready effective slot-T will lend
sparkle to the offensive attack as
Herman Ramsey, a regular de-
fensive back, assumes the quarter-
backing duties. His favorite
aerial target is likely to be co-
captain Mike Dalton at end. Dal-
ton, last year's leading receiver,
will be counted on heavily this
year. The coaches expect to have
a very effective short passing
game this season.
Maryville will use the old adage
that the best offense is a good
defense in hopefully bettering
last season's record to go unde-
feated in Coach Tomlinson's
second season as head coach of
the Scotties.
Freshmen to Boost
Roundball Squad
After a very slow start, Scot
basket bailers began to pick up
the pieces and tried to get into
high gear. Around mid-season
the Highlanders took third place
in the "Suncoast Classic Tourna-
ment" in St. Petersburg. Florida,
and were then on their way to
winning six of their last ten
sames.
Racqueteers invite
Freshman Aid
The best advice for freshmen
tennis players hoping to make the
Maryville tennis team is to play
a lot of tennis. For rumors have
it that next year challenge
matches will be in the fall. This
means you'll have all summer to
sharpen your game and get in
shape. For those who might not
be familiar as to how a player
tries out for a tennis team, it is
really quite simple. Beat every-
one else out for the team! A
series of matches are played
among the hopefuls, these are
called challenge matches. Ac-
cording to your record you are
ranked 1-2-3-4 and so forth.
Once the "ladder" has been set
up a player may challenge the
next player up and hence im-
prove his position on the team.
This keeps everyone hustling and
helps make for good team spirit.
Losing season first in years
This year the Maryville netters
suffered their first losing season
in four or five years with a re-
cord of five-and-six. This must
be considered in lieu of the sea-
son's last two matches being can-
celled much to the chagrin of
the members of the team.
Freshmen talent sought
This year the team loses one
man, Bob Paul, who played
number four and was the team
captain. This leaves one open
Maryville halfback Roland McClanahan (40) grinds out yardage as fuHback Jeff Slagle (32) and Mike
Dalion (83) clear the path. McClanahan, the Scots* leading receiver in 1963, suffered a broken leg midway
through last year's campaign and missed the latter part of the season.
spot to be filled by a newcomer.
With four returning lettermen
and one year letterman the team's
prospects for next season look
quite good. But coach Lauren
Kardatzke looks for some good
freshman talent. This year a
freshman, Pete Park, played
number three on the squad. The
returning players will be Lynn
"Hawker" Howard, Rich "Pum-
kin" Marshall, Pete "Grub"
Park, Bill "Granny" Gass, and
Alan "Princess" Childs.
Anyone who hope^ to play on
the Maryville tennis team should
play a lot of tennis this summer,
get in good shape, talk to Coach
Kardatzke when you report to
school in September, and "keep
your eye on the ball!"

Grapplers Set
for Coming Year
by R. A. Johnson and
S. Wintermute
After a very interesting and
rewarding 1964-65 season, the
Maryville wrestling squad is
looking with eagerness to next
year. The Scots promise to place
in competion that will certainly
rate as one of the best teams in
the history of the school.
MC meets well-known teams
Wrestling has had a long and
illustrious history at Maryville
College. Over the past years, its
teams have c6nsistently won their
share of honors against larger
and nationally known schools all
over the South. Last season was
no exception. During the year,
the Scots squared off with such
schools as Auburn University,
Georgia Tech., The University of
Georgia, The University of Chat-
tanooga, Eastern Kentucky State,
as well as Appalachian State, one
of the nation's top N.A.I.A.
teams. In every meet the mer
performed well and won enough
to make the season successful.
Scots show well at SEC
The talented Scots showed
their best wrestling of the year
at the South Eastern Conference
tournament, which was held on
the Maryville campus. In the
battle for the league champion-
ship, the matmen came up with
Don Shields taking a fourth
place at 157, John Henderson a
third at 115, Ron Pritts a third
at 137, and Ralph Johnson a
first place at 130.
Freshmen included
The outlook for next year is
very bright and the expectations
high. This year's squad had
freshmen at 115, 123, 130, 137
and 167. Second semester turned
up good 130 and 147 pounders
to add punch to the team. Fresh-
men were also sprinkled liberally
among the reserves and proved
themselves outstanding by the
number of exhibition matches the
Scots won.
Heavy-weights lacking
The heavier weights aie a
problem, although many things
can happen during the summer
to change the picture in any class,
and head coach J. A. Davis is
counting on next year's freshmen
to help solve the situation. As
every wrestler knows, no position
can be called secure on any team,
and, as evidenced by this year's
showing, new men have a very
good chance to make a place on
the squad. At the beginning of
the season all weights are open
and the best man gets the job.
To all those who are interest-
ed in wrestling on a college level
against some of the finest teams
in the country, Coach Davis ex-
tends an enthusiastic invitation.
He can promise you good wrest-
ling with top men on a fine team.
Upswing Seen
fer Batsmen
Lookerroom Lingo
by Ralph MeCampbell
Freshmen, do not despair. If you are athletically inclined, Mary-
ville College has plenty of room for you. Last year freshmen athletes
contributed highly to the football, basketball, wrestling, track, and
tennis teams. In football, Earnie Greeno and Shan Harris were vital
cogs ih the defensive machine. Danny Rogers and Billy Sunday
carried the mail from the backfield for many a yard for the Scots.
Danny also won the Amos Alonzo Stagg award for his performance
against rival Carson-Newman. Guards John Forgety and Carl Gehman
were used extensively on both offense and defense.
Basketball found freshmen Gerald Hodges and Don Payne in
the thick of things. The wrestling team depended on John Hender-
son, Ralph Johnson, and Carl Gehman •for points. Ralph won the
SEC 130-lb. class crown and John placed third in the 115 pounders.
The track team sparkled with freshmen. Probably the brightest
were Dick Craig and Bob Leach. Dick turned in some remarkable
times in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and rarely took second. Bob
could be counted on to come through in the low and intermediate
hurdles. Tennis saw Pete Park the number four man on the squad.
Freshmen hurdlers Bob Nicholas and Randy Smith combined to give
the baseball nine a pair of tough right banders. The regular short-
stop was Don Payne, and Big John Agnew held down first base to
complete the freshman starters.
Even if you don't have varsity
sports in mind, play intramurals.
There are men's teams in foot-
ball, basketball, wrestling, and
Softball. The women can parti-
cipate in basketball, softball, fen-
cing and tennis. The games for
the coveted "Stinkin' Shoe"
trophy between the societies
Alpha Sigma and Kappa Phi
draw no less attention than the
World Series. With these op-
portunities, no one, especially
freshmen, with an athletic ap-
petite should go hungry.
After losing seven of their first
eight games, Scot baseballers
came alive and managed to finish
the season with a 7-13 record.
Plagued by weak hitting and
mental errors, the Scots looked
somewhat less than fantastic dur-
ing the first half of the season.
At that time, the leading hitter
on the squad of seventeen sported
a .267 average. Pitching was ex-
cellent, but Maryville just
couldn't manage to score. But at
mid-season flie team jelled and
began to win, besting North
Georgia, Milligan, L. M. U.,
Emory and Henry, and Cumber-
land. Perhaps the most reward-
ing game of the year was the
narrow loss to powerful arch-
rival Carson Newman. Although
losing 5-3, the Highlanders play-
ed excellent baseball, and this
reporter feels that this game
proved to be the turning point
of the season.
Freshmen contribute
Perhaps the most pleasant
surprise was the unexpected help
given by freshmen. Randy Smith
pitched well throughout the
season but could only salvage two
victories. His ability is best ex-
emplified by his fourteen inning
stint against L.M.U. which Mary-
ville lost 5-4. Both John Agnew
at first base and Don Payne at
shortstop hit well during the
latter half of the season and
turned in some fine defensive
plays. Rob Nicholas was out-
standing on the mound and com-
piled a 3-0 won-lost record. Al-
though they didn't letter, fresh-
men Ralph MeCampbell, Dan
Rothe, Gerald Hodges, and Jim
Fort played a good deal and were
responsible for a large amount
of the Scots' success.
Nucleus returning
According to Coach Boydson
Baird, "Improvement is the key
word for next year." Returning
lettermen include catchers Sonny
Hughes and Frank Gready,
center-fielder Sonny Webb, pitch-
ers Jack Lewellen and Randy
Smith, and infielders Jo^hn
Agnew and Don Payne. "We
have the nucleus returning," said
Baird, "and if we can get any
help from incoming freshmen,
we should have a much better
team next vear."
FIGHT SONG
On, Highlanders, down the field
Rolling up a high score!
Tear into the end zone.
Smash on through that line,
Highlanders!
Send a rousing cheer on high.
And our boys will shine,
Come on and fight, figlit, fight!
Come on and fight, fight, fight!
For dear old Maryville!

vast population able to read but

6-The Highland Echo, July, 1965
dde Jja (In JMdiUuUen
by Dav« Powell
In America the humble college dormitory stands as a living
monument to the ravages of baser intellectualism. Time and count-
less epigrams are etched in its ageless scum-green wall. Scars of
hard-fought batdes streak its homely facade. Deep in its heart out-
moded washing machines rumble on into the night. Aimless feet
track the mud of earthy adventures through its ever-open doors.
Ceaseless oaths echo down refuse-strewn halls, and the pitiful few
who seek knowledge must escape to a barren study room — a room
tantalizingly close to sticky Coke machines and guitar strumming
goof-offs. Show me the soul who can resist that temptation.
The college dormitory is a loosely tied bundle of cyclic cliches-
water balloons, Chinese fire drills, firecrackers, weekly search for
the sacrificial victim to appease the gods of the fishpond, apple and
orange flings, toilet paper decorations, furniture removals, door re-
movals, banshee scream imitations, hall light globe fallings and
crashings, house mother hatings, bridge tournaments, ping-pong
tournaments, dog chasing tournaments, crowding the mailbox stuffer,
proctor evasions and bike borrowings.
From the rooftop sunbather to the solitary stoop sitter, the
lifeblood of the dorm is people — residing people, visiting people,
tired people, loud people, machine filling people, newspaper deliver-
ing people, couple people, single people, sneakered people, shirtless
people, greasy people, watchman people — all shapes, sizes, races
and denominators and no two alike though some alone.
Cold in winter, hot in summer, noisy always, never complain-
ing, unbigoted, staunch and proud it stands. Home to the homeless,
hideout of wandering minstrels, defender against the elements, keep-
er of secrets and friendships, heritage for |ftierations of roaches,
please no smoking in your room, and guardian of fermenting know-
ledge — quietly serves the dorm.
And quietly the inmates accept growth, change, fate, failure,
loneliness, mononucleosis and cold showers. Gradually an older and
wiser, if not more confused, individual comes to realize that his
dorm has been but one more home on the journey, and in nesting
there he has learned to love it, and leave it after four years with
a stronger constitution and no regrets.
Immortal dorms we love you.
Debating offers

Maryville College offers in one
unified program excitement, chal-
lenge, and fun. No, this is not
W. S. G. A. , , , We are speak-
ing of the Maryville College
debate team which travels around

economic community. The de-
baters return from tournaments
babbling, about win-loss records,
new friends, capricious escapades,
and new cases.
"Statistics show that" students
learn how to study more ef-
fectively because they learn to
condense important material and

We are looking forward to an
exciting season next year and we

classmen will register for debate
this fall. No previous experience

The Playhouse of Maryville
College, under the direction of
Thomas E. Jone«, is an active
organization. Of primary concern
is its basis of educational
theatre, by which participants
learn through experience. Any
student is eligible to audition for
roles or to work in the many
aspects of crew. Forming the
core of the Playhouse is Theta
Alpha Phi, the honorary theatre
society.
A variety of plays are selected
each year. The 1964-65 season
included "J. B.," "Harvey," "A
Night of One-Acts," "The Cretan
Woman," and "The f antasticks."
This year an experimental sum-
mer theatre is scheduled, in-
volving the plays "A Thousand
Clowns," "The Devil's Disciple,"
"Dark of the Moon," and "Visit
to a Small Planet." Slated for
1965-66 are "110 in the Shade,"
"A Man of All Seasons," a triple
bill (not yet chosen), "Ladies in
Retirement," and "Androcles and
the Lion."

The Blue Shades is the name

band. This band provides the
sounds for many of the' informal
dances at Maryville during the
year. The members do this enter-
taining "just for the fun of it."
This coming year, all of the
instrumentalists in the Shades
will be returning and will have
some new electrical equipment.
They are hoping to find a fresh-
man who has an electric bass to
finish out the group. With the
addition of the new equipment
and an electric bass, the Blue
Shades say they will be able to
play just about anything from
England to California.
February Meetings continue
long College tradition
Each year the college sponsors a series of meetings which are
set aside as a time designated for reflections upon what the church
is saying to us, as a college community today. This series is known
as the February Meetings and it usually takes place during the last
week of February.
Leaders for this series are selected from outstandmg laymen
and ministers of the Christian Church. These leaders serve as
sources of inspiration both as speakers and as counselors as they
make themselves personally available to us.
When February meetings roll around next year, remember to
keep yourself alert — experience shows that anything can happen!

Scottie Thinclads Strongest Ever
"This was the strongest team I've had in my five years here at
Maryville." That is the way Coach Howard Tomlinson described
the Scot tracTcsters, who posted a 3-3 record this spring. After losing
to Emory University 80-67 in their first dual meet, the Highlanders
went on to defeat arch-rival Carson-Newman 76-60, Milligan 721/^ —
621/^, and Bryan College 114-22 in the last meet of the year.
Several men undefeated
Maryville was exceptionally
strong in running events and, by
the same token, exceptionally
weak in the field events. The
440 relay team (Dick Craig, Jack
Smpot, Mike Dalton, and Bob
Leach) was undefeated, while the
mile relay team (Dave Alexander,
Rich Reed, Jerry Bell, and Dick
Craig) was defeated only once.
Freshman hurdle Bob Leach was
undefeated, as was javelin
thrower Greg Hallen.
Alexander best all-around
Leading scorer on the team
was Dave Alexander with 59
points. Alexander was nothing
short of tremendous this season
as he competed in the broad
jump, low hurdles, 100 and 220
yard dashes, 440 yard run, high
jump, and mile relay team and
caused some to speculate that he
is the best all-around trackman
that Maryville has seen in recent
years.
13 lettermen to return
Returning lettermen include
three freshmen — hurdler Bob
Leach, sprinter Dick Craig, and
discus man Cole Piper. Other
returning lettermen are distance
man Bill Evaul; sprinters Jack
Smoot, Mike Dalton, and Dave
Alexander; hurdler Terry Amon;
pole vaulter and high jumper
Denny McGowan; 880 men Rich
Reed and Hugh McCampbell;
and javelin, thrower Greg Hal-
len. Only Jerry Bell (440 yard
and mile relay team runner) and
John Livingston (mile and two
miler) are lost because of grad-
uation.
The track team was a vast im-
provement over last year's squad
and, because of the large number
of returning lettermen plus as-
sistance expected from incoming
freshmen, prospects seem, for the
moment at least, very bright.

Highlander line-up, in addition
to juniors Mike Dalton and Jack
Lewellen. Also returning are
freshmen Jim Hogue, Tom Ellis
Ben Hendrix, Gary Meyer,
Gerald Hodges, and Don Payne,
all of whom gained valuable ex-
perience anc were instrumental
in several victories.
Baird predicts improvement
Wlien asked to comment on
next years possibilities. Coach
Baird stressed the fact that be-
cause five lettermen will return,
the Scots can justly expect a vast
improvement over last year's ef-
fort. He also mentioned that the
incoming freshman class could
in all probability lend some
support in rounding out the
squad.

In order to preserve the high
quality of the 1965-66 Maryville
College Highlander Band, John
A. Roberts, conductor, has re-
corded for release on June 1 the
best of this year's performances.
The long-playing album is in
limited edition for band members
and for other students upon re-
quest.
The Highlander Band is one
of the fastest growing college
bands in the state of Tennessee.
Following the rich Scottish tradi-
tion of the college, the Band is
uniformed in original attire with
women in imported Scottish kilts
of the "Hay" clan and the men
in the uniform of the Royal Scots
Guards, each in scarlet tunics and
fourteen inch bearskin hats.
Flanking the Marching Band are
four pipers who play the original
Bagpipe music which has for
years made the genuine Scottish
radition.
Several small ensemble groups
from the Band perform through-
out the year for whatever event
they may be called. These en-
sembles include a brass q^iartet
which toured the Midwest this
year, a woodwind quintet, a wind
ensemble, a Dixieland combo,
and a full stage-band group.

Societies Furnish Freshmen Fun
A good deal of the social activities at Maryville College are
crhanneled through the four societies: Kappa Phi and its sister Chi
Beta, and their friendly rivals the Alpha Sigmas and their female
counterparts the Theta Epsilons. Membership in these societies is
non-restrictive, the only condition being the completion of the pledge
period and initiation.
Some of the activities sponsored by the societies are: the
intramural athletic program, rush week shows, skit night, the winter
and spring formals, weekly informal dances, and a host of other
activities. A spirit of friendly competition permeates most inter-
society activity, which gives the student a chance to develop his
varied talents while making lasting friendships.
In short, Maryville's societies combine the advantages of
fraternal organizations while avoiding the selectivity and social
stratification that show on the debit side of the fraternity ledger.

Womenfolk
by Doug Gamble
We of the MC Student Council
hope that our first major project
of the year will set the stage for
a series of popular concerts
which supposedly car-less Scots
can enjoy without the burdens of
riding buses, renting cars, or
taking unnecessary chances with
Scotty Fate.
The Womenfolk, nationally
rising RCA recording artists, are
to appear in the Chapel at 8:00
on Saturday, October 9.
Summer TV'ers may have
seen them on Ed Sullivan, Andy
Williams, or Hullabulu. Wander-
ers might have encountered them
appearing with Sullivan at Lake
Tahoe. Those of you who plan a
weekend abroad this fall will see
them in London. All of you,
though, should see them here.
They put on a tremendous show.
Council members are aware of
the significance of this effort.
If we break even or better, we
will be able to have more con*
certs of this caliber.
Tickets are by necessity $2.00
each. Those of you who buy
before October 4 will be assured
of good seats. Tickets purchased
later will be honored on a first
come, first seated basis.

Returning students this year
expected to see several new
dormitories at least partially com-

by a fewr piles of dirt in various
places around campus. What is
not generally known is that these
"piles of dirt" represent $200,000
worth of Vv'ork. This figure in-
cludes the laying of pipes for the
utilities in the new buildings, and
the conversion of the college

New Faces
on Faculty
The Maryville College faculty
has eight new members this fall
semester. Three of them have
earned their doctorates.
Robert J. Bonham, who holds
a Master of Music degree from
the University of Kansas, has
joined the music faculty. Prior to
his coming to Maryville, he was
in the armed forces.
The new instructor in the Phy-
chology department is Miss Mary
Borkhuis. Miss Borkhuis served
two years as an educational as-
sitant with the Methodist Church
in Huron, South Dakota, before
beginning her graduate work in
psychology at the University of
South Dakota.
The former chairman of the
English Department at Maryville
High School is the new English
instructor, Mrs. Herman B. Cate.
Arthur F. Dees is an Instructor
in German. He formerly taught
German at Carson-Newman Col-
lege and has completed work on
his Master of Arts degree in Ger-
man at University of Tennessee.
The Visiting Professor of His-
tory for the 1965-66 school year

SEEN
Our paper today is full of comments by and about Secretary of T
State Dean Rusk. Whether we agree or disagree with him or his iIIlpr6SS10nS
party or his President, the fact remains that he is an influential man
in our nation. The coverage given by the Echo to Dr. Rusk's visit is
one way of indicating how much we appreciated his coming. Too
often in the past we have been confronted with Founder's Days that
turned into Flounder's Days. It is such a relief to be able to tell the
people back home that M.C. doesn't stand only for Maryville Con-
vent — we can also DO things that are noteworthy and enriching.
The administration (whoever that is) sweated blood to bring
Rusk here. Miss Ware was driven to distraction. Many of us had to
watch the whole affair by closed-circuit television. Having a telephone
close to the Secretary at all times was a real pain. We had to cut
ouj- first class to go to the airport. Somehow, it seems worth all of
that.
We're willing to go through it again. Maybe there will be
someone outstanding for Commencement?

Security Agents at M.C.
by Sandy Briggs
Mr. James McKee of Miami, Florida, the personal security
agent for Dean Rusk, arrived on Monday, the 20th, from a Southern
Governor's Conference in Georgia to arrange all security measures.
His only occupation is to safeguard the Secretary of State. He met
and scheduled meetings with the Highway Patrol, the Blount County
Sheriff, and the Maryville Police Chief. Although he is primarily
responsible for thg physical safety of Rusk, Mr. McKee also or-
ganized the motorcade from the airport to the campus and vice
versa. A public affair's officer from the State Department, Miss
Christine Camps, also arrived Monday and arranged the press con-
ferences and set up the protocol. y^^^ ^ j ^^ problems,

Well, the new crop is in . . .
from where I stand, this year's
freshman class looks like a good
group. It is getting difficult to
find familiar faces around the
campus; everywhere one sees
upperclassmen searching each
other out. But it shouldn't take
long for these frosh to get ac-
quainted. They're friendly, full
of energy, and ready to go —
whether to work or home will
soon be known.
Say, remember how you fell
after all of those entrance exams?
Registration line this year look-
ed like the annual (or not so
annual) snake dance at home-
coming — well maybe it wasn't
quite that hazardous.
As every other class has been
impressed by Maryville, this
year's freshmen were amazed by :
Dr. Copeland's hair and his
"stagecoach" (rumors are that
his son left it as a keepsake),
Dean McClelland's "father im-
age," this crazy new biology
lecture system, WSGA - a radio
station? Bill Erwin's knees!!!*,
the shyness-or something-of the
guys and the difficulty in get-
tiog to know the upperclassmen
during these first two weeks, es-
pecially with the new dining
room system. Try giving a smile
and maybe an introduction when
you see a new face (especially
to good-looking members of the
opposite sex) — the result could
mean a larger sophomore class
next year (and a date to Rush,
soon) !

While Rusk spoke in the Chapel,
Streator sat in the Chaplain's
Office to receive any possible
calls from Washington. During
the luncheon he had access to
Miss Ware's telephone.
The security agents' main
responsibility was the physical
safety of Rusk and the open
telephone lines to Washington.
During the program in the
Chapel, Mr. McKee stood facing
the audience and Rusk's personal
security agent stood in the door-

the area were situated throughout

Luncheon Held
In Honor of Rusk
Luncheon was pleasant and in-
formal as about eighty-five area
educational, political, religious,
and business leaders gathered in
the Maryville College Dining
Room in honor of Dr. Dean
Rusk.
Two rows of diagonally ar-
ranged tables led to the front
guest table. A touch of elegance
was provided by bouquets of
bronze and yellow mums on the
diagonal tables and three large
arrangements on the front table
at which Rusk and specially
honored guests were seated. Mr.
Rusk was in the center with Dr.
Copeland, Mrs. Rusk, and Mr.
Gamble, President of the Mary-
ville College Board of Directors,
to his left. To his right were Mrs.
Copeland, the Secretary of State's
brother Mr. Roger Rusk, and
Mrs. Gamble.
Miss Ware prepared a delicious
luncheon including a fruit cup,
filet mignon, stuffed cheese
potato, and asparagus casserole,
and ending with orange sherbet,
topped with a brandy treat. Mrs.
Harter assisted Miss Ware as
hostess' in keeping the operation
running smoothly.
President Copeland read mes-
sages from various senators and
Governor Clement. Dr. Rusk ex-
tended thanks for his presence
on the Maryville campus and
gratitude to the students for their
sack lunch sacrifice. He con-
cluded by expressing his deep
feeling for the worth of Mary-
ville College and the people here
— as something to be cherished.
Mrs. CaiKki"^ '"<! M"- ^^'^^
by Sherry Proffift
and Sua Haldaman
Mrs. Rusk was warm, friendly,
and eager to answer any ques-
tions posed by The Echo. Even
though the interview was brief,
we . found her to be, like her
husband, cordial and sincere.
Echo: Do you often travel with
your husband?
Mrs. Rusk : Yes, very often, both
in this country and abroad.
Echo : Where else have you lived
and do you enjoy living in
Washington?
Mrs. Rusk: I have lived many
places, in small towns and in
very large ones, and have real-
ly enjoyed most of them. I like
Washington very much; this is
the fourth time I've lived there.
Echo: In your husband's speech
today, he said that it was good
to be here again. When were
you in Maryville before?
Mrs. Rusk: Frankly, I don't
ever remember having been to
Maryville before. Of course,
we have done much traveling
through the South and we have
been to Knoxville many times.
We go back and forth to
Georgia visiting the family,
but I don't remember having
come by here unless it was
when Jane (her niece) came
to Maryville College. Of
course I remember when the
Maryville College Choir came
through New York; Jane was
in the choir and we were liv-
ing there at the time. Yes, I
remember that very well.
Echo: Who is the most interest-
ing guest that you have enter-
tained?
Mrs. Rusk: There have been su
many interesting people there
that I could not possibly
choose. I'm afraid that I'll be
no help there — there have
been so many.
Echo: Do you use the Chief of
Protocol who is on the White
House staff?
Mrs. Rusk: Yes, we do; there is
only one and he serves the
State Department.
Echo: Do you personally have
a secretary?
Mrs. Rusk: Yes, for the service
staff I have a very helpful little
girl who assists me a great
deal.
Echo : Is she with you now ?
Mrs. Rusk: No, she is back ir
Washington.
Echo: Before you met Mr. Rusk,
what had been your vocational
plans?
Mrs. Rusk: Fortunately I was
not placed in a position to de-
cide on anything. Mr. Rusk
and I met at the end of my
sophomore year, and I did not
have to think about what I
was going to do or further
^hooling. All I thought of was
marriage, I'm afraid. (She
winked.)
0 God, Who art infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, full of
love and compassion; all Thy works praise Thee in all places of
Thy dominion.
We beseech Thee, O God, to forgive those ncUional sins
whith do so easily beset us: our wanton waste of the wecdth of
soil and sea, our desecration of natural beauty; our heedlessness
of those who come after us, if only we be served; our neglect of
backward peoples; our complacency; and our pride. For these
wrongs done to our land and our heritage, as for right things
left undone, forgive us, O Lord.
Almighty God, we beseech Thee with Thy gracious favor to
behold our universities, colleges, and schools, that knowledge may
be increased among us, and all good learning flourish andtibound.
Bless all who teach and all who learn, and grant that in humility
of heart we may ever look unto Thee, who art the Fountain of
all wi^om.
We lift our thanksgiving for this college, for its founders,
and for all who have sustained its noble ambitions and unselfish
service throughout its years. Guide Thou, 0 God, this generation
of students, faculty, and administrative officers, that we may be
worthy of our heritage and dedicated to the things that aid man-
kind and please Thee.
Most Gracious God, we humbly beseech Thee to direct the
Congress of this nation. So prosper all their consultations that all
things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavors, upon
the best and surest foundations, that truth and justice, virtue and
piety, may be established among us.
We commend to Thy keeping all the men and women serving
our country by sea, land, and air, that we may win for the whole
world the fruits of our sacrifice and a just peace.
Father, Thou who hast made of one blood all the nations of
the earth, mercifully hear our supplications and remove from the
world forever the dreadful menace of war. Guide the rulers with
Thy counsel and restrain the passions of the people, so that blood-
shed may be averted and peace preserved. Quicken the sense of
our common brotherhood, bring the nations into a new bond of
fellowship, and hasten the time when all the kingdoms of this
world shall become the kingdom of peace and brotherhood.
Almighty God, Thou who hast called this thy servant. Dean
Rusk, into the world's leadership, preserve Thou his alert mind,
sustain Thou his compassionate heart, increase Thou the strength
of his body, and continue Thou to use him for Thy divine purpose
and for the welfare of this nation and all mankind. In the name
of Jesus Christ we pray, {Choral Amen) .

Strong Defense Holds Key to Scots Gridiron Success
Little All- American Benny Monroe is gone, but 18 lettermen
return to form the nucleus for the 1965 Maryville football team. Of
those returning, 14 are linemen whose defensive abilities will be put
to the test as the Scots try to match last year's 7-1 record. Coach
Tomlinson hopes that a strong defensive unit can afford stme of
the backs an opportunity to gain much-needed experience.
Defenic fo b« strong
Hopefully, defense can give the
Scots the ball in scoring position
about four times a game. The
offensive unit should then be
^ble to provide a margin for
victory in most of the games.
Says Tomlinson, "Our defense
has been getting us the ball in
scoring position that many times,
and we expect to be much strong-
er this year."
If the defensive squad can be
the mainstay long enough for the
offense to swing into high gear,
the Scots can look forward to a
good sea««n.
I -formation planned
The offensive backfield is
handicapped primarily by the
lack of an outside running threat
the primary receiver in many of
the Maryville pass patterns. Al-
ways a fine runner, Dalton's new
position will enable Coach Tom-
linson to utilize both his fine
running and his abilities as a re-
ceiver. According to Tomlinson,
"He's good enough to beat any
defender one-on-one; he's just as
good a receiver as you'll find
anywhere."
Mike will probably see some
action with the defensive unit in
order to rest Ramsey. During the
1964 campaign, Dalton was on
the receiving end of 21 passes
including seven touchdowns.
Spelling Dalton on offense will
be Archie Anderson. Achie's
primary duties, however, will be
with the defensive secondary
and the loss of nine offensive where he will be a starter. Ander-

hopes of off-setting this, the
Scots will probably rely on a
strong running attack to the in-
side and short-passing. The I-
formation (which closely resem-
bles a pro-set) will allow the
Scots maximum flexibility while
Returning to the backfield for
his final season is fullback Keith
Bailey. Last year he averaged
3.8 yards per carry and is ex-
pected to be the workhorse of
Maryville's inside running game.
Behind Bailey are Alex Rob-

a letterman, and Dave Ronco, a
fresihman who played split end
for three years in high school.
Tomlinson is confident that
Ronco is capable of picking up
the MC system of play.
Gordon Higgins will see lots of
action at offensive end. Higgins
is a junior and weighs in at 175.
Sonny Webb and David Berry,
both of whom are junior letter-
men, will start at the defensive
end positions. Webb, from Bris-
tol, started both ways last season,
while Berry, from Alcoa, was a
starter during the latter part of
last season.
A hard worker with lots of
jdesire to play is Butch McDade.
Butch is a sophomore and will
be used with the defensive unit.
Defensive tackle strong
Perhaps the team's strongest
position will be defensive tackle.
Jim Pryor, at 205, and Gary
Dutton, 260, will hold down this
position. Back for his fourth
season as starting tackle, Pryor
is co-captain along with Mike
Dalton. Dutton, from Loudon,
has amazing pursuit capabilities
for a man of his size. Both Gary
and Jim have excellant lateral
movement and will make it tough
for any opponent to move the
ball.
Replacing Dutton on offense
will be Charles Berry, a guard
who, in the words of Coach Tom-
linson, "is capable of being one
of Maryville College's best all-
time linemen." Berry is a junior
and hits very hard.
Freshman Steve Hutsell, sopho-
more Cole Piper, and junior
Wayne South are also tackle
candidates who could see a good
deal of action.
Junior Frank Eggers will team
with Berry at offensive guard.
John Forgerty, a 200 pounder,
and Carl Gehman, who has been
hampered by a pulled muscle,
will undoubtedly play a great
deal on offense.
Shan Harris will start at of-
fensive center. The 5 foot 7 inch,
185 pound sophomore is a hust-
ling ballplayer and a good block-
er.
The defensive backfield will
again be led by linebacker Don
Story, who will also serve as de-
fensive captain. Ernie Greeno
will lend his agressiveness to the
Scottie defensive unit as he teams
with Story at linebacker. Fresh-
man Bill Clarkhuff is also a can-
didate for a linebacking post.

enabling them to concentrate on bins and Dave Belcher. Both are
big (215 and 208 pounds res-
pectively) and will probably see
a lot of action.
Perhaps the answer to the lack
of an outside threat will be
their strong game.
Directing the Scot backfield
will be Herman Ramsey, a 5 foot
8 inch, 150 pound quarterback,
who played for Everett High. , , , t n
Ramsey will be starting both on provided by Lee Ceroyac, a trans-

Maryviile Drops Opener 14-0
Although the Maryviile Scots
had the Lynx-Cats of Southwes-
tern with their backs to the wall
on five occasions, they could not
cross the paydirt stripe as they
dropped their opener 14-0 in
Memphis. Southwestern tallied
in the second and third periods
with a surprisingly effective
aerial barrage.
MC almost score*
The Scots hit paydirt early in
the second quarter, but the
touchdown was nullified by an
offside penalty. The Scots had
the ball inside the Lynx-Cats'
ten-yard line on four other
drives, only to lose the ball on
downs three times and fumble
with first down goal to go on the
two yard line the other. Mary-
ville's highly touted defensive
line lived up to pre-season ex-
pectations as it held the South-
western gridmen to 107 yards
rushing, bouthwestern's longest
run of the day was seven yards.
Ramsey and Cerovac star
Senior Scot quarterback Her-
man Ramsey, operating offen-
sively for the first time "since his
freshman year, capably marched
the Scots down the field time
and again to fall short of their
goal each time. Lee Cerovac,
junior transfer student from
Milligan College, alternated with
sophomore Danny Rodgers at the
tailback slot. Cerovac ground out
103 yards in 19 carries as Rod-
gers ran hard to pick up valuable
first down yardage.
Game tonight at 8:00
The Scots have been working
hard this week to avenge their
loss against Centre College to-
night. Game time is 8:00 at
Honaker Field.

WAA Begins Year
by Jean Ferguson
WAA had a really good turn-
out at the women's intramural
party Thursday, September 23.
A skit was put on by the mem-
bers of Women's "M" Club, and
cookies and punch were served.
The party provided an opportun-
ity to explain the intramural pro-
gram to new students.
The first intramural sport to
be played is field hockey, whfch
begins Tuesday, October 5.
Watch for signs and announce-
ments for this sport. Everyone
donn your best old cut-offs and
your SOX and sneaks, and come
out for a lot of fun and friendly
competition.
Don't forget, everyone wel-
come, including upperclasswo-
men.

adjustment of costs is continuing
in order to get the most out of
the new designs. Plans still call
for at least two dorms to be built
and in use by September, 1966.
Science building coming
For students anticipating the
new science building: studies of
our scientific needs have been
completed by the firm of Taylor,
Lieberfeld, and Heldman. The re-
port has been submitted to the
architect, and the building is in
the process of being designed.
This will take at least another
year.

Looking for adventure two
wide-eyed Maryville co-eds head-
ed for Europe. Here are a few of
our escapades!
With romance in mind we
each took a ship — separate ones
. . . Mareia, anxious to see her
family, crossed the ocean first on
a military ship, and Jan follow-
ed later on a student ship.
Across the border in Germany,
Mareia slowed the pursuit of ad-
venture by tripping over a step
and breaking her big toe. We
had to laugh when Mareia re-
turned from the hospital with a
cast to her knee and her swollen
toe sticking out. This monstrous
cast, a blessing in disguise, aided
us in meeting many local Ger-
mans — a real conversation
piece!
Sick of rain and cold weather,
we headed for sunny Italy. We
expected to be pinched by at
least one of those hot-blooded
Italian men. Constantly on guard,
we had made preparations to
protect our virtue. Regretfully,
no one even tried. The last day
we discovered that pinching is
now illegal, and those reported
for doing it were heavily fined.
We felt better! Yet, as our train
left Rome, an Italian passed by
us in the corridor and gave us
a pinch that smarted!
My! The Italian men are
friendly! Whenever we stopped
to see the sights or pull out our
maps, we were surrounded by
men who wished to make "ap-
pointments" and give us personal-
ized guided tours in their cars.
We thought we were something
special until we turned around
and discovered that every other
foreign girl was getting the same
treatment.
We found the only way to get
rid of them was to pass out our
phone number. When they called,,
we were always "out." However,
we did accept two personalized
tours. One tour included a motor
scooter ride for Mareia and a
lesson in spaghetti — eating for
Jan. The other ended up at an
Italian carnival where Jan won
a live goldfish, and Mareia got
lost in the house of mirrors. As
we left Rome, the words "belle
Signorine" still rang in our ears.

Biology
Department
Improved
by John Mulhellafld
Why have the professors of
the biology department initiated
a new program for the 101 Bio-
logy course? In an interview
with Dr. Shields, he had this to
say: "We are constantly seeking
out methods to improve the
courses by improving standards
and the learning atmosphere and
preventing failures. The basic
theory for the freshmen level
course is that the lecture material
is as easily given to 2000 as to
20."
Professors specialize
He went on to make clear a
number of other points. With the
one large lecture session, each
student gets the same material,
avoiding the variation in pre-
sentation from class to class as
in the past. As there is now only
the one lecture section, each of
the three professors of biology
has fewer lectures to prepare,
allowing them more time to pre-
pare those lectures that are more
within their own majoi field of
study. Each lecture is made that
much more stimulating when the
lecturer prepares in this manner.
The other two professors are al-
ways in attendance at the lectures
so that they will know exactly
what has been covered and in
what detail.
Teaching aids used
As the lecture is being given,
it is taped to allow the students
to fill up their notes by listening
to a tape in the lab after the
lecture. In this way it is hoped
that note-taking will be improved.
Transparencies and film strips
used in class are also made
available for individual use in
the lab.
Experiments correlate
, During the lab time much of
the time is devoted to discussion
of the material covered in the
previous lectures to answer
questions that may arise. Then,
as experiments are during the lab
period, they are designed to cor-
relate closely to the lecture
material.
Learing through repetition
The revisions that have been
made in the 101 courses have

Thompson Speaker On Presbytery Day
Dean Fuhr at Maryville
by Jerry Weeks
By now most students have seen a small blue car on campus
with Utah licenses. This is the car of Dr. Tom Fuhr, the new Dean
of Students. Dr. Fuhr has come to Maryville from Westminster
College, Salt Lake City, Utah, where he was the Dean of Students
this past year.
Education diversified
Dr. Fuhr is certainly no strang-
er to college campuses. He grew
up at Hastings College in Neb-
raska, where his father was head
of the Department of Music, and
there received his B.A. degree.
He then completed graduate
studies at Princeton and Union
Theological Seminaries, receiv-
ing a B.D. degree at Union; and
he later received an Ed.D. degree
from Columbia University. He
has served pastorates in New
York, Iowa, and Cahfomia. He
has also served two years in the
school system of Bellflower, Call-

Allen Drury
of the 1965-66 lecture series was
Allen Drury, a leading American
political novelist, who spoke in
the Maryville College Wilson
Chapel last night. Mr. Drury is
best known as the author of two
best sellers. Advise and Consent
and A Shade of Difference. For
fifteen years prior to the publica-
tion of the former book, he had
gained journalistic experience
through his coverage of national
politics and the Senate and had
been employed by the United
Press, the New York Times and
several other publications. Pre-
sently, he is a political contri-
butor to the Reader's Digest.
Mr. Drury's first novel. Advise
and Consent, published in 1959,
was adapted for the stage and
had a successful Broadway run
before it was produced as a
movie. His second novel, A Shade
of Difference, published in 1962,
although very successful, is not
available for sale to motion
pictures because Mr. Drury feels
that, condensed for the movies,
it might be very harmful to the
United States abroad.
Mr. Drury is planning to
publish three more novels in the
near future — two political works.
Capable of Honor and Preserve
and Protect, as well as a non-
political novel. That Summer, to
be published in 1966.

Art On Exhibit
by Sara Parker
Another art form is visiting
our campus, although it may not
be as easily understood itor as
well accepted as the singing of
the Womenfolk. The Fine Arts
Gallery is exhibiting a collection
of paintings in oil and collage
by Mr. Henry Botkin. Mr. Botkin
is a prominent American artist
represented in collections across
the country, including the Met-
ropolitan Museum of Art in New
York.
Collage, a new term to many,
may be understood as the as-
semblage of natural and manu-
factured objects which are not
normally used as art materials.
William Seitz, of the Museum of
Modern Art, New York, refers to
collage as an interest in "found
objects" that are "enriched by

2-The Highland Echo, October 9, 1965
EDITCPIAL CUTLCer
We often hesitate to admit that we give much thought to things
that appear to be insignificant on the surface. With war in Vietnam,
erupting volcanos, society rush, etc. to consider, discussion of the
MC diningroomhall seems uncosmopolitan, provincial, or some-
thing. It is, however, the place where we resident students congregate
1-3 times a day, day in and day out, during the school year. There-
fore, its importance to us cannot Be denied.
Returning students this year were happily confronted with
a rennovated dining room interior. Instead of a gymnasium-type
area, there was a decent place to eat; instead of cobwebs, there
were chandeliers; instead of splinters, there were white tabletops.
And there was even a hostess!
Eistablishing a staggered eating schedule was not especially
pleasant for all concerned. Couples were assigned to different times,
1 :30 lunch refugees felt like the plague had hit, and meal tickets
were more or less discreetly traded.
We survived the change quite well, though, until that fateful
Saturday, September 25th. It was a great day : first Echo, first home
football game, first chance to sing and cheer with the PORKIES.
But, wait. Where were the Porkies?? Outside.
Now, after much discussion, the Porkies are back where they
belong, and we are convinced that Maryville College needs the
Porkies in the dining room just as much as it needs Dean Rusk
on the speaking platform. Without either and what they stand for,
we would soon find ourseles stagnantly watching the world go by.

Maryville campus sponsors a
weekly seminar which has been
an exciting and helpful program
for students interested in biology.
There are two seminar groups-
one for freshmen and sophomores
and one for juniors and seniors.
The groups meet on alternate
Wednesday nights at the homes
of the biology professors.
The programs are carried out
entirely by the students, each one
preparing a paper of biological
interest and presenting it at one
of the meetings. After the paper
has been read, everyone has a
chance to contribute to a dis-
cussion of the paper and the
ideas that it stimulates.
This year the two seminars
will meet jointly every fourth
Wednesday evening to hear a
guest speaker. Some of the Mary-
ville doctors have already agreed
to meet with the group.
All the meetings are informal,
refreshments are served, and it is
a fun wav to learn. \_
And the Livin'
Was Easy
by Sue Foreman
Summer School 1965 started
on June 15 in the traditional
Maryville manner — it rained !
The total enrollment of summer
school involved 100 students with
about half of them living on
campus. This enrollment was an
increase over the previous sum-
mer.
Students were allowed a maxi-
mum course load of 7 hours.
Each class met for 1 hour and
15 minutes Monday through
Fridays. Chapel was held on
Wednesday with voluntary at-
tendance.
It is almost a unanimous
agreement that summer school at
Maryville College was a success.
Small classes offered better op-
portunities for an exchange of
ideas between students and fac-
ulty. Students became better ac-
quainted with one another, and
the "p re-freshmen" had a pre-
view of college life.
There were several workshops
and conferences on campus dur-
ing summer school. Fred War-
ing's group and their Doxology
at supper will never be forgotten.
The conference people ate in the
dining "room," lived in the
dorms, and used other college
facilities. Occasionally the stu-
dents were invited to their activi-
ties.
Many students were involved
with the summer community
playhouse. They helped with the
technical and stage crews, as well
as with acting in the plays pre-
sented.

Everybody knows that there are windmills and tulips in Holland,
featherbeds and real live castles on the Rhine, students and metros in
Paris, so we'll skip the picturesque and tell you our adventures. Our
first discovery about Amsterdam was that the rain trickling down the
back of your neck is there to stay. The weather explains the Dutch
school of rather grim painting. We didn't stav around to see what
it would do to us.

We took a train a few hours
north to have our most exciting
musical experience of the sum-
mer. One of us played a rather
unique organ, the other listened,
and I can't say which had a
better time. We were at Lauren
Skerk in Alkmaar and the organ
there dates to the sixteenth cen-
tury. It's present design is from
remaining organs of this fine
vintage. The sound is certainly
worthy of it's world-wide re-
putation, and it's case is a de-
lightful collection of gilded
cherubim and other mythical
beasts.
We'll dcip down to the Hun-
garian-flavored Koblenz and take
the Saturday afternoon Rhine
the early eighteenth century, steamer up that great river with
built by the Art Schnitger family, hundreds of merry-making Ger-
leading builders of the type of mans. And up we went with a
organs for which Buxtehude and more sober South African busi-
Bach wrote. It is one of the few nessman who is on the local
school board and with whom we
swapped educational theories. On
the train to Frankfurt he had a
hard time convincing the con-
ductor that he would rather be
in the second-class compartment
with starving teachers than in
first class with the expense-ac-
count crowd. University German
doesn't always go over with train
conductors.
Saturday evening is a superb
time to be in Frankfurt. All of
the churches ring bells for ves-
pers. We were on our way in the
midst of this quarter-hour bell
concert to hear Helmut Walcha
play the service at the Church of
the Three Kings. Walcha is a re-
nouned performer of Bach, and
my husband studied with him
several summers ago. I had heard

his fame, but I only then dis-
covered that he is totally blind.
His postlude was improvisation,
and was very much not an imita-
tion of Bach, as you might ex-
pect; rather an exciting twentieth
century Walcha.
Our next adventure was dinner
in Munich with a wonderful
former landlady. We were
anxious to try the untranslatable
specialty of the restaurant, but
it was, alas, a huge mound of
ground steak — RAW — garnished
with litde piles of salt, pepper,
paprika, and a raw egg. I was
lucky enough to have the mustard
pot on my side of the table, and
1 clandestinely doused each re-
pulsive bite with hot mustard. We
filled up later on big bowls of
vegetable soup. 'Rien we were off
for two days of swimming at the
largely German alpine resort,
Garmisch-Partenkirken.
Next Venice. Venice is just
Venice, and if you're fond of
pigeons it's even better. At break-
fast one morning we discovered
that two burglars had been
caught trying to climb in a win-
dow from the canal below. We
almost lost our whole collection
of drip-dries and were oh-
Uvious to the whole thing!
We took a Greek ship from
Venice which would eventually
get us to .Cyprus, and cruised
around with a mad Irishman
who is with the U.N., an Ameri-
can who runs a school on Cyprus,
and his Greek wife. Our favorite
port of call was Heraklion on
Crete, just a few miles from the
reconstructed palace of Cnossus.
What a place to retire! We came
back to the ship several dolphins
and much enchantment richer.
We had by this time learned the
Greek alphabet, but we never did
get proficient enough to figure
out how to put on the life-
jackets! We finally arrived on
Cyprus by tiny overcrowded
motorboat from the harbor; I
was trying to remember the cross-
chest carry the whole way. That
lovely island was full of U.N.
personnel and an uneasy truce.
We flew from there to Beirut,
and expected the next day to fly
to Jerusalem. But we were book-
ed on a non-existent flight so we
took the only other transport
short of camels — a city-to-city
taxi. Ten hours — ^most of it
Syrian desert, with a tubercular
Arab driver who kept swapping
his turkish cigarettes for my
priceless Marlboros — ten hours,
mind you, on one Pepsi-Cola,
was a bit much for us. We were
most happy to see Jerusalem's
golden walls and most grateful
for the Anglican Hospice and
their midnight snack. Jordanian
Jerusalem does not belie the Re-
velation of St. John or the Junior
Choir hymns — it is golden. Not
much milk or honey in evidence,
but the local stone is decidedly
golden. The bazzars are colorful
and odiforous, the veiled wives
are intruiging, and the Mosque
on the sight of Solomon's temple
is far and away the most artistic
thing to be seen, but still the
most impressive sight is the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
On Sunday morning the Copts,
Armenians, Greeks, and Romans
chant in their separate chapels.
On Sunday afternoon two dif-
ferent procession* go on at once.
On weekdays each group takes a
turn at celebrating the Mass at
the Sepulchre. Every day is
Easter there. A more accurate
reflection of the condition of
the Church cannot be found —
each group treasures its few feet

Tigers Topple Skidding Scots
Winless Scots Face Emory and Henry Wasps Today
by Bill Evaul
The Maryville Scots dropped their third straight last Saturday
night to the powerful toe of Georgetown College by a score of 23-0.
Georgetown scored in each quarter on three field goals and two
touchdowns. Maryville's defense was the only bright spot of the
evening, as Georgetown got only six first downs.
First field goal missed
Maryville started off wrong
when it fumbled on its own 32
on the third play of the game.
The defense held, and the Tigers
tried a field goal. Even though
this one failed, it was a pattern
to be repeated many times in
the game.
Pass intercepted
Both teams had trouble moving
the ball, but with 3:42 left in
the first quarter, Georgetown
scored on a thirty yard field goal
by big (275 lbs.) Tom Seals.
At this point the defensive teams
took over and kept the ball
stationary Until late in the second
quarter. With under two minutes
to play, the Scots tried a pass
play from the Georgetown 30.
Clyde McConnaughhay inter-
cepted the pass and ran 55 yards
to the Maryville 19, where Lee
Cerovac tackled him after a de-
sperate chase. Seven plays later,
with 30 seconds left in the half,
James McKenzie scored from the
1 and Seals got the extra point.
At half time the score was 10-0,
in favor of Georgetown.
Anderson to Hebel scores
The second quarter began with
the Scot defense holding the
Tigers on the Maryville 35, but
Seals put his toe into another one
and the score stood at 13-0. The
second Georgetown touchdown
came after a 66-yard march, cap-
ped by a 16 yard pass from Jan
Anderson to Jon Hebel. Seals
boomed another extra point, leav-
ing the score at 20-0, and only
131/^ minutes left.
TD nullified
Four minutes later, it looked
like Maryville had finally scored,
after a punt had been fumbled
by Georgetown and picked up by
Alan Cropper, who ran across
the line. But tho ball was blown
dead on the Georgetown 44,
where it had hit the ground after
being fumbled.
Rogers injured
Maryville and Georgetown
traded the ball on a couple of
fumbles and an interception,
then, with 2 minutes left in the
game, Georgetown — unable to
move the ball, had to settle for
their third powerfully kicked
field goal. This one was from
the 30, raising the score to 23-0.
Just a few seconds before, the
crowd was dismayed to see Dan-
ny Rogers carried off the field
after colliding with a George-
town player, but nothing serious
was found, and he was on his
feet after the game.
Final pass intercepted
Maryville started moving the
ball through the air on its lasl
set of downs, but an interception
at the goal line ended this last
drive, leaving the final score 23-0
in favor of the Georgetown
Tigers.
Cerovac gains 52 yards
The Scots' leading ground-
gainer was once again Lee
Cerovac, who netted 52 yards.
Co-captain Mike Dalton was
second, gaining 35 yards. George-
town honors went to McKenzie
with 74 yards gained. The big
toe for Georgetown was Tom
Seals, the field goal kicker, who
scored on 3 of 5 attempts plus 2
extra points for a total of 11
points. Georgetown punter Willis
Toliver, who averaged 421/^
yards on six punts, consistently
put Maryville in bad field posi-
tion and was partly responsible
for preventing Maryville's of-
fense from getting started.

afternoon. This gave everyone
a chance to take a short vaca-

study, or to relax. Things to re-

now if the objective British
hadn't shored it up during the
Mandate. But it's an overwhelm-
ingly joyful place, and one that
juxtaposes the most complex and
ugly things about the Church
with the one simple fact underly-
ing faith.
Before we leave Jerusalem,
guess who we saw at the
Y.M.C.A.? Dr. Walker, Miss
Lightfoot, and Miss Hunter!
We travelled to Jericho, Beth-
lehem, the Jordan River and the
Dead Sea with two American
Benedictines and an American
Beatle. Never stick your foot in
the Dead Sea. It won't dry for
hours. I had a donkey ride in
Bethle^hem which brought home
the incredible difficulties of the
first Christmas Eve.

desert bloom. What an exciting
country! The theatre, music, art.

as flourishing as the farms. For
obvious reasons, much of the
population is under thirty and
the verve of youth is everywhere.
Israel is a frontier, and gives one
the impression of vastly tele-
scoped history. The two most
noteworthy sights in Jewish
Jerusalem are the Marc Chagall
windows at the Medical Center
and the new museum. The
museum is fascinating just ar-
chitecturally, and the sculpture
garden defies description.
We travelled briefly to Nazar-
eth, an unassuming hill town,
and then to Tiberias where the
heat finally got to us. The Sea
of Galilee is below sea level so
we spent our time either swim-
ming or watching the ceiling fan
go around while some Pentecostal
friends (ran into them later, too)
made us feel guilty by seeing the
sights.
We caught another Greek ship
at Haifa and, after a peek at
Rhodes, finally arrived in At-
hens. We saw the Acropolis by
the full moon that night, and
nobody was there except the
romantic French. The museums
in Athens have quite a few things
that Lord Elgin missed so they
took up a solid week. We heard
a Bach concert in an ancient
theatre and saw an excellent pro-
duction of Sophocles' Antigone at
a new theatre oh Lycabettos. We
jumped to the eleventh century
A.D. every time we investigated
a Byzantine church, saw the re-
nowned mosaics at Daphni, and,
by the way, had a creepy ex-
perience in a Russian church.
The celebrant was a double for
every Eastern icon and mosaic
we'd ever seen of Christ.

Tenor Opens Artists Series
A Blount County native wha
has achieved fame as one of
America's outstanding native
singers, Walter Carringer, will
open the 1965-66 Maryville Col-
lege-Community Artists' Series
with a concert Oct. 15 at 8:15
p.m. in the Maryville College
Chapel.
Carringer, a tenor, sang his
first professional engagements as
a soloist with the famous Robert
Shaw Chorale, and has buih his
reputation as a soloist in oratorio
and choral works. He is a favor-
ite for performances of Bach and
Handel, and makes frequent ap-
pearances in the Passions of St.
Matthew and St. John and as
tenor soloist in the Messiah.
Carringer made his, debut in
1958 in London at the Town Hall
in New York in 1959. Since then,
he has toured extensively in the
United Slates and Canada and
appears frequently in the major
American summer music festi-
vals.
Tickets for the concert are

fice at Maryville College and
ARMY MEDICAL OFFICER
AT STUDENT CENTER
Captain Perry A. Barnet, MSC,
will be on the Maryville College
campus Wednesday, October 13.
Captain Barnet will meet with
any interested students from 9
a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student
Center to present army medical
service corps direct appointments
and active du^y programs.
Representative
of Emory Here
Don Jones, on recruitment tour
for the Emory University School
of Nursing, will speak at Mary-

Oct. 11 at 10 a.m.
Mr. Jones is assistant director
of student deve'lopment for the
Emory nursing school.
Emory offers a collegiate nur-
sing program leading to a Bach-
elor of Science in Nursing de-
gree. The Emory nurse receives
two years of academic work in
the Emory College before enter-
ing the three year professional
nursing program.
Mr. Jones has had extensive
experience in student work, in-
cluding eight years on the faculty
of the Baylor School in Chattano-
oga as instructor and as a guid-
ance counselor. At Emory he
served as acting dean of men last
summer before assuming his
duties in the nursing school this
fall.

men students, he is also respon-
sible for co-ordinating the vari-
ous curricular and extra-curri-
cular activities on campus, coun-
- seling with students, and execut-
ing the general policy of the
college.
Communication vital
Dr. Fuhr believes that com-
munication between the students
and the faculty and administra-
tion is very important and neces-
sary to the life of the college. He
says that an important part of
every student's education is to
• participate in the administration
of the college, whether through
the Student Council, Student-
Faculty Senate, or individually
by discussing problems and of-
fering suggestions with the fac-
ulty and administration. Regard-
ing present rules and regulations,
he explains that he trys to inter-
pret reasons for rules and re-
gulations. "Rules operate in
individual situations ... I am
more interested in justice than
strictly enforcing a set of rules.
Maryville tries to couple freedom
and responsibility."
Opinion of MC favorable
"The student body is very well
mannered and friendly : two mag-
nificent qualities which I hope
will never be lost," says Dr.
Fuhr. "Maryville also takes its
spiritual life seriously. It is the
desire of Maryville to have a
first rate academic program
through its fine library, its in-
dependent studies program, com-
prehensive examinations, its ex-
cellent faculty members, and the
interest of its directors, faculty,
and administrators in evaluating
the college program."

Red Cross Recruiter Here October 20
Miss Hazel Breland, Assistant
Director Personnel-Recruitment,
Southeastern Area, American
National Red Cross, Atlanta,
Georgia, will be at the Anderson
Hall Conference Room Wednes-
day, Oct. 20, to interview grad-
uating students interested in
various positions in the field of
welfare and recreation.
Miss Breland said that careers
in Red Cross are open to both
men and women with the follow-
ing general requirements: U. S.
citizenship, good health, and
world-wide mobility. Preference
is given to college graduates, she
said.
The greatest needs at present
are young women to do casework
and recreation with the armed
forces and men to serve as Red
Cross welfare workers at military
installations. Young women select-
ed as recreation workers may
serve in a clubmobile program
in Korea or conduct recreational
activities for persons in militar)
hospitals in this country and
overseas. To carry out its pro-
gram of welfare services, in mili-
tary hospitals; the Red Cross
also employs as social workers
young women with degrees ir
social welfare, sociology, psy-
chology, or related fields. On-the-
job supervision is provided by
professional social workers.
The young men who are em-
ployed as welfare workers by the
Red Cross are assigned with
armed forces personnel wherever
they serve and perhaps will be
better prepared for the positions
if they have already had military
service.
Retirement, Social Security,
group insurance, and annual and
sick leave are among the benefits
provided Red Cross employees.
An educational incentive plan
offers opportunities for future
professional training to those
who qualify.

been based on the new programs
at Purdue and the University of
Tennessee. The central idea of
the plan adapted at Maryville
is "learning and retaining
through repetition." With the use
of more mimeographed mater-
ial, taped lectures, and discussion
sessions, the learning process is
made much easier, in addition
to providing increasingly stimu-
lating material.

In the the upperclass courses
the emphasis is more on inde-
pendent work. Instead of a lec-
ture type class, the class is en-
tirely discussion. In this way
more responsibility is given to
the student to prepare and study
material. Revising its methods,
its curriculum, its program to
meet the ever changing need of
the academic community, Mary-
ville College looks to the future.
"A man practices the art of
adventure when he . . . breaks
the chain of routine and renews

books, traveling to new places,
making new friends, taking up
new hobbies and adopting new

Francis Newton
Hospital Aids in
Indian Crisis
by Karen Keen
Near the Pakistan-Indian border in Ferozepore, Punjab, India,
the center of the area of the present Kashmir crisis, lies the Frances
Newton Hospital. This is not the first time that the hospital has cared
for the Indian people during a border war. After the partition of
India in 1948, many people who had been driven from their homes
and caught up in the border war between the Hindus and Moslems
were helped by the hospital.
The Frances Newton Hospital is of particular importance to
Maryville College; its director, Dr. Dorothy Ferris, is a Maryville
graduate. For several years, Maryville College through the Fred Hope
Fund has been sending money to the hospital. This has been used to
buy a shadowless lamp for the operating room and an autoclave or
sterilizer; to build a ward for men patients, and a home for nurses
in training school ; and to provide scholarships for two young medical
students. Last year $1800 was sent to assist in establishing a school
of medical technology.
The Fred Hope Fund, established in the early 1900's by Mary-
ville students, sends money contributed by the students and faculty
of the school to mission projects in Africa and China, but mostly
to projects in India.
The moral of this story is: even though we here at Maryville
College may consider ourselves isolated from the outside world, our
money is right in the middle of world current events.

Summer Research Completed
During this past summer ^ati-
dy Briggs and Reed Tarwater,
senior chemistry majors, parti-
cipated in an eight-week research*
project under the direction of
Dr. David Young. Both students
received stipends of S600 which
were made possible by grants to
the chemistry department by Re-
search Corporation and the Pet-
roleum Research Fund of the
Americ n Chemical Society.
Sandy's research concerned an
investigation of Michael Addi-
tions of tertiary phosphines,
whereas Reed's research was
directed towards the study of a
Thio-Wittig reaction. Both of
these projects were in the general
area of organophosphorus chem-
istry — a branch of organic
chemistry involving the study
of compounds of carbon and
phosphorus.
The nature of the work was
basic research, which means that
one is interested in the knowledge
for its own sake rather than for
the purpose of an immediate
practical or commercial applica-
tion of that knowledge. Although
neither of these projects was
brought to a conclusion in the
short time of eight weeks, both
Sandy and Reed did make im-
portant and significant advances
towards a better understanding
of these two areas of research.
Further work is being projected
for study throughout the school
year and in the summer of 1966.

Enrollment Facts
Given by
Registrar's Office
The enrollment for the first
semester 1965-66 at Maryville
College stands at a total of 812
students. With transfer students
included in each class figure,
there are 124 seniors, 161 jun-
iors, 205 sophomores, 320 fresh-
men, and 2 special students.
Approximately 700 applica-
tions for admission were received
this year, and out of that number
only 311 new students were en-
rolled.
Seventy-eight per cent of the
freshman class ranked in the
upper one half of their graduat-
ing classes. The average scores
from the placement tests given
during Orientation Week ran 496
in Verbal and 506 in Math,
which is a slight increase over
last year's average scores.
Of the 276 new students in the
freshman class, 144 are women
and 132 are men. This is an in-
crease in the number of men
over the class that entered last
year.
The freshman class represents
32 different states, 3 foreign
countries, and 17 denominations
and religions.
Calendar Changed
Through an error, the calendar
listing in the 1965-66 Catalog
says that Christmas holidays end
on Wednesday, Jan. 4, at 8 a.m.
The Jan. 4 date is correct, bui
the day is Tuesday. This is called
to the attention of students plan-
ning their Christmas holidays
which will end Tuesday, Jan. 4,
1966, at 8 a.m.
Quintet to Appear
On Saturday night, October
30, the Maryville College Com-
munity Artists Series will pre-
sent the New York Woodwind
Quintet in a recital of chamber
music. The group has appeared
in numerous concerts at home
and abroad, on television and
radio, and has also made highly
praised recordings.
The quintet has been honored
by the United States State De-
partment with invitations to ap-
pear overseas. In 1956 the men
traveled through South America,
and in 1958 they appeared at
the American Pavilion at the
Brussels World's Fair. In 1962
the group toured eleven coun-
tries of the Orient. These over-
seas tours included not only con-
certs, but also workshops and
clinics at colleges and schools.
A campaign to raise $50,000
for Maryville College and Tus-
culum College through the
churches of the Synod of Mid-
South of the United Presbyterian
Church in the U.S.A. will get
under way Nov. 1 and is to be
concluded next March 31, it was
announced today by D. W. Prof-
fitt of Maryville, Chairman of
the Synod's College Fund Com-
mittee.
Expanded facilities to benefit
The money will be used by the
two colleges in their capital funds
programs to provide new build-
ings and equipment on both
campuses. At Tusculum, these
needs include a chapel and fine
arts building, enlarging the
library, a cafeteria and student
center, and a field house and
gymnasium. At Maryville, the
needs are three new dormitories,
student center, new or expanded
library facilities, a physical edu-
cation building, and a new lang-
uage laboratory. Some of these
projects are already under way
at both schools.
Maryville College and Tus-
culum College will sihare the
funds on the basis of their full-
time enrollments this faU.
C(H>eland on Committee
Members of the College Fund
Committee, which is composed
of both ministerial and lay lead-
ers in churches in the Synod,
plus Synod staff members and
idministrative personnel from
both schools, constitute the com-
mittee. Ex-officio members of the
committee are Dr. Douglas G.
Trout, President of Tusculum
College; and Dr. Joseph J. Cope-
land, President of Maryville Col-
lege, plus the Directors of Deve-
lopment of both institutions.
Synod churcitee to participate
Mr. William Walker, a mem-
ber of the Committee who is also
the Stated Clerk of the Synod of
Mid-South, will inform the
churches of the * plans for the
campaign as they develop. The
campaign for funds is to be
conducted in and by the
churches, although it is to be an
individual solicitation of church
members for the support of
higher education and not part of
the church budgets.
The campaign for the support
of Maryville and Tusculum in the
Synod of Mid-South has heen
discussed for some time. The
Synod includes all of Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Alabama, South-
western Virginia, We^ern North
Carolina, and North Georgia.
Shown above are the members of Hie New York Woodwind Quintet: Samuel Baron, flute; Ronald Rowman,
oboe; Ralph Froelieh. horn; Arthur Weisberg. bassoon; and I>avid Glaxer. clarinet. The artists, each a virtuoso
in his own right, have won the acclaim of critics every where.

Campus reactions to Homecoming are kind of funny. Some
ignore it like the rest of the year; others live it with late nights and
those infernal paper napkins cut and stuffed; still others like it just
a little but hate-to-admit-it-because-it-might-be-childish-and-we-had-
better-wait-to-see-what-everyone-else-is-doing-before-we-commit-our-
selve?..
We wonder now what it will be that we remember come Alumni
Day 1985 or even 1966. Maybe it will be the marigolds that got out
of hand and had to be roped back . . . maybe the walnut that hit us
on the back of the head (and never mind the editorial "we") . . .
maybe the teacher that didn't bother to prepare for class . . . maybe
the late night, unfair tests, rainy mornings . . . maybe the ever-losing
football team . . . maybe the dorm bells that ring for nothing at 6
p.m. . . . maybe the soccer team that ceased to be . . . maybe
a thousand unpleasantries related to college life.
Or maybe, just maybe, we'll remember the spirit of a president
who wears an orange and garnet tie . . . the choir's "Jubilate" before
Vespers ... the kid who said "It's getting pretty bad when I don't
cut chapel because I like it" . . . Sunday steaks . . . Senior pep
rallies . . . the beauty of a Chilhowee autumn.

Surprise Announcement of
Groundbreaking Made By
President Copeland
Three new dormitories, one for men and two for women,
will be built immediately on the Maryville College campus by the
Tipton and Reynolds Construction Co. of Alcoa, President Joseph
J. Copeland announced yesterday.
Groundbreaking ceremonies marking the start of the construc-
tion will be held at 5:30 p.m. today as part of the Homecoming
celebration this weekend. The ceremonies will be held near the
present Margaret Bell Lloyd Residence for Women. Three gold
shovels will be used, one for each building. Representatives from
the contractor and the architect will be on hand, along with
several representatives from the College.
The dormitories were designed by Barber and McMurry of
Knoxville, and will provide housing for 366 new students. Total
cost will be about $1,900,000.
The expansion, first since the construction of the present
Lloyd Residence Hall in 1959, is in response to growing enroll-
ment. The new buildings are part of a planned expansion of the
College outlined in the $7.00l).()0() Sesquicentennial Development
Program.

The Indian summer that descended upon' Maryville College
was much the same as when Isaac Anderson founded our fair in-
stitution. As a matter of fact, our fair institution was much the
same, too. The Freshmen were soon filled in on the Maryville facts
of life: Don't smoke, drink, drive cars, stay out late, or make noise.
Please, Please don't get married or have a vending machine on
campus, without the expressed written consent of the faculty. Go to
chapel . . .Keep the Sabbath but return everything else to the Lost
and Found Dept. Above all, accept responsibility. With this in mind,
they set out to achieve the goals which all good freshmen achieve.
They went to class every morning and during class they wrote letters
home asking for more money. In the afternoon they tried, as best
they could, to get a good sun tan. At night they played their guitars,
took long walks, sharpened their ping-pong game and forgot to study.
First it was the homing pigeon, then the Buffalo and now the
second-semester freshman who isn't on academic probation. They're
all becoming extinct.
Moral of the story: sometimes it is easier to get out of college
than it is to get in . . .
He Could Have
Suug All Night
by Sarah Tompkins
The Artists Series opened Oc-
tober 15 with an excellent con-
cert featuring Walter Carringer,
tenor. Accompanied by Nancy
Wright of Spartanburg, South
Carolina, Mr. Carringer pre-
sented an interesting program
that was as diverse as it was en-
joyable.
The first group of songs by
Baroque composers was expertly
performed. The agility and
flexibility demanded from these
works was effortlessly delivered
and the brilliance and clarity of
each sound was distinct, even to
the twenty-fifth row.
The German songs in the
second group and particularly
the Mozart aria in the third
group were especially outstand-
ing musically. Being one of the
most difficult of recital groups,
these German pieces were master-
ed by the controlled and steady
flow of breath required to gener-
ate the solidarity of the music as
well as the language.
Particularly enjoyable was the
last group containing the songs
of contemporary composers. "Al-
leluia," by Ned Rorem ended the
program. Its difficulty was easily
discarded by the vivacious tenor.
The music in itself is exciting,
but the interpretation and life
put into it by Mr. Carringer
made it simply fascinating. His
poise on the stage and rapport
with the audience were excellent,
and the relaxed manner in which
he conducted the program made
him easy to listen to. The en-

The Highland Echo, October 23, 1965-3
(Statement made at chapel Saturday, October 9, 1965 by
President Joseph J. Copeland)
As I sat at breakfast on this particular morning, these thoughts
flashed across my mind and since they did I concluded, why not
let them flash verbally. So at the last minute I let go at the close of
the announcement period at Chapel.
"What a challenging week to be an editor of the EchoV
Were I such an editor there are three stories I would write:
Story Number 1 : The word drooling Alan Drury directly and de-
finitively defined Washington, D. C, B.C., A.D.
Mr. Drury dreamed that Mr. Johnson died and went to heaven —
unexpectedly. There was a great commotion. Explosion after ex-
plosion occurred. God didn't like the idea of being Vice-President.
Story Number 2: Headlines; "Freshmen elect officers!"
Subhead: "Fresh women elect the Dean's Office!"
Story Number 3: Headlines; "The Womenfolk Arrive on Cam-
pus."
Subhead: "Student Council Goes Broke! I mean, the Student
Council Goes For Broke."
Conclusion: Now abideth Drury, Johnson, God, Freshmen, and the
Womenfolk; but the funniest of these are the Women, folk.
by Sue Forman
"Are you ready?" SNAP,
SNAP. CLAP, CLAP . . . Thus
begins each cheer for the Scot-
ties' team.
The cheering squad this year
is composed of three juniors,
three sophomores, and two fresh-
men. It includes captain, Fran
Lantz, an English major from
Knoxville; Becky Smith, a sociol-
ogy major from St. Cloud, Flori-
da; Linda McClain, an elemen-
tary education major from Knox-
ville; and Donna Nettle, an
elementary education major from
Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
Their partners are Andy Ruh-
lin, an English major from Tren-
ton, New Jersey; Bill Baird from
Claremont, California; Tex Har-
ris, a history major from Amaril-
lo, Texas, and Craig Rigell from
Baltimore, Maryland.
The cheerleaders are very
pleased with the crowd response
this year, especially the intense
class spirit. They have been work-
ing on a number of new cheers
which will be used at tonight's
Homecoming game for the first
time. Several of these new cheers
call for a lot of muscle and
gymnastics on the part of the
squad members.
With such an enthusiastic
crowd, led by the band and cheer-
leaders, we can really cheer our
team on to victory over Guilford
tonight, "LET'S HAVE A
HOWIE, HOWIE. ARE YOU
READY?"
"The farther backward you
can look, the farther forward you
are likely to see."
— Winston Churchill

Homecoming Tilt With Guilford Tonight
Scots Play Tough
But Feel Stinger
Go Deep as Wasps
Emerge Victorious
The Maryville Scots dropped
their fourth straight encounter
to Emory and Henry Saturday,
October 9, 13-12. The determined
Scots, playing by far their best
game so far, defeated the Wasps
everywhere but on the scoreboard
as freshman quarterback Har-
vey "Butch" Crabtree and his
classmate, 138 pound tailback
Bob Bosco spearheaded the Scot
attack. Bosco was awarded the
Amos Alonzo Stagg award for
his efforts.
Scots Score First
TTie Maryville gridmen grab-
bed a 6-0 lead in the second
period when Crabtree passed six
yards to paydirt to Mike Dalton
to climax a seventy yard drive.
The Scots had taken the opening
kickoff and driven for a touch-
down only to have it nullified by
a penalty. The Wasps drove sixty
yards and converted to take a 7-6
halftime lead.
The spirited Scots stormed
back in the third quarter and
once again took the lead on a
two yard pass from Crabtree to
junior end Sonny Webb. The
same combination, failed in the
try for the two point conversion.
The Wasps scored in the same
period to clinch the victory 13-
12.
Offense Sharp
The Scots amassed 305 yards
total offense. Bosco accounted
for 105 yards on the ground as
Crabtree completed 11 out of 22
passes for 142 yards. Maryville's
perennially strong defense held
the Wasps to a 206 yard total.
The offensive line was parti-
cularly impressive and the block-
ing crisp. The defensive team,
returning a punt, enabled Mike
Dalton to go 55 yards before he
was finally stopped. Jim Pryor's
key block taking out three men
was to no avail as the play was
called back on a disputed clip-
ping penalty.
Freshman quarterback "Butch" Crabtree (12) launches a third quarter Bob Bosco (42) and Mike Dalton
touchdown pass to Sonny Webb against Emory and Henry, as Joe Dawson Emory and Henry, will be counted
(65) and Shan Harris (53) give vital protection. The touchdown was to contest with Guilford. The kickoff is
no avail as the Wasps scored in the same period to win 13-12.

The tirst complete week of
flagball competition saw Alpha
Sigma's highly touted Sledge-
hammers successfully defend
their champion standing. The
Sledges ran their string of wins
to thirteen straight as they notch-
ed up impressive victories. Alpha
Sigma's other team, the Ham-
mers, made Kappa Phi's Squires
their first victims. The Squires
have lost to all the teams in the
league. The final round of play
in the first half of the intramural
season saw the Sledgehammers
on top with a record of three
wins against no losses. The
Knights of Kappa Phi were in
second place with a 2-1 record.
The Hammers claimed third
place and the Squires rounded
off the league.
The second round began with
renewed vigor. The top two teams
squared off again with the
Knights emerging victorious from
their second encounter. Other
league play found the Squires
pitted against the Hammers, the
Knights against the Squires and.
the Hammers against the Sledge-
hammers. This completes the first
half slate with the possibility
existing for a play-off game be-
tween the Knights and the
Sledges for the championship of
first half competition. The sea-
son's second half will commence
Monday, October 25. All games
will be scheduled according to
the team standings at the end of
the first half.

The Maryville Scots journeyed
400 miles to be the opposition
in Livingston State's annual
homecoming game in Livingston,
Alabama. State's Tigers proved
too much for the Scots, who are
still looking for their initial vic-
tory of the '65 campaign.
Livingston jumped to an early
3 point advantage by virtue of a
20 yard field goal in the first
period.
The Tigers poured it on in the
second sequence, scoring^ twice
more to roll up a 17 point ad-
vantage at intermission. Tlie
Scots, unable to get going, never
really penetrated the tough Tiger
defense and were hampered by
interceptiohs and mental errors.
Livingston scored once in each
of the final quarters to walk off
with a 30-0 victory. This evened
the series at one game apiece
with Maryville winning last
year's tilt. David Berry and Jim
Pryor were Maryville's bright
spots on defense.

Progressive Spirit in Cades Cove Painting Given to the College
Ignorant? Backward? Uncul-
tured? Are our modem day con-
cepts of the Tennessee mountain
people correct? Has literature
given lis a true picture of these
people whose descen dents are
still living in our area today?
Dr. A. Randolph Shields, head
of the Biology Department at
Maryville, was born and raised
in Cades Cove. Recently he wrote
an article for the Tennessee His-
torical Quarterly which clarifies
the spirit of the early settler and
brings us up to date on what is
presendy happening in the area.
Vigorous spirit evident
Dr. Shields sees the progres-
sive spirit that dominated
pioneer life and enabled them to
overcome impossible odds as a
valuable heritage still evident to-
day. The preservation of log
cabins and primitive atmosphere
is secondary to the remembrance
of their vigorous spirit, a spirit
not based on stagnation and
ignorance.
Shields' relative early settler
Vivid descriptions of the early
settlers are given and include
such interesting people as Wil-
liam "Fighting Billy" Tipton,
a shrewd business operator who
accumulated 200 acres of flat
land; Peter Cable, who set up a
telephone system in the cove;
and Frederick Shields (Dr.
Shields' great-grandfather), who
had sixteen children and a din-
ing room table twenty-four feet
long!

It seems strange to us that
there was a time when ap-
proximately three million visitors
a year did not make their way
through the area. Dr. Shields
goes into the events that occured
in the process of making Cades
Cove a part of the Greater Smoky
Mountain National Park. Instead
of destroying old homes and
changing the land back to its
"natural" state, the Park Com-
mission realized that unless the
mountain culture was preserved,
much of its charm would be
lost.
Pioneer satisfaction fouad
Upon visiting the Cove today,
one cannot escape the spirit that
must have prevailed in the life
of each settler. Dr. Shields be-
lieves that the "beautiful valley,
is and will remain, the same soul-
satisfying attraction it was to the
pioneers of over a century ago,
but to a completely different
people living a completely dif-
ferent type of life. However the
fact that it does attract visitors
from all over the world seems to
indicate that innately we like to
get the same pioneer satisfaction
of mountain quietness."
This article may be found in
the magazine section oft our
library, Tennessee Historical
Quarterly, summer edition
(1965).
A gift of a painting attributed
to Joseph Mallord William Tur-
ner, British painter and member
of the British Royal Academy,
has been made to Maryville
College. The donor prefers to re-
main anonymous.
The College's use of the gift
is unrestricted, and the painting
can be sold at some future date
and the income used for any
College project. This gift brings
to five the number of paintings
given to the College by this
donor, who earlier gave a Goya
portrait, two rural scenes by
Zucharelli, and one by Gains-
borough.
Turner's painting, called "Bac-
chanal," was probably painted in
1838 while the artist lived in
Italy.
"The worst sin toward our
fellow creatures is not to hate
them, but to be indifferent to
them: that's the essence of in-
humanity."

Forum to be
November 11
The final event in the Ecfuj-
sponsored week of emphasis on
the Vietnam crisis will be a Stu-
dent-Faculty Forum to be held
on Thursday, November 11, at
8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center
Music Hall In the face of ram-
pant rumor and unfounded
opinion, the newspaper staff has
thought it necessary to promote
a deeper campus understanding
of the issues involved. The Forum
will present both Administrative
policy in Vietnam and the rea-
sons for recent vocal protests
throughout the country. The
v^iews expressed will be in an
3ffort to discuss intelligently
both sides of the American prob-
lem without necessarily leading
to a definite conclusion.
Moderated by senior biology
major John Mulholland, the panel
members representing: the faculty
will be Dr. Phillip Griftin, As-
sociate Professor of Philosophy;
and Dr. David P. Young, As-
sistant Professor of Chemistry.
Rev. Dale Watson, assistant min-
ister. New Providence Presby-
terian Church, will also partici-
pate.
Students participating on the
panel will be Bill Erwin, senior
history major; Paul Millin, sen-
ior political science major; and
Dale Schellinger, senior history
major.
The Forum is open to the pub-
lic, and there will be an op-
portunity for discussion follow-
ing the panel's presentation.
Summer Jobs
Echo to Sponsor Vietnam Week
Offered
Every student in America can
get a summer job in Europe and
a travel grant by applying direct-
ly to the European headquarters
of the American Student Inform-
ation Service in Luxembourg.
Jobs are much the same as stu-
dent summer work in the U. S.
with employers offering work
periods ranging from three weeks
to permanent employment.
Lifeguarding, office work, re
sort-hotel jobs, factory, con-
struction, camp counseling and
farm work are only a few cate-
gories to be found among the
20,000 jobs ASIS has on file.
An interesting summer pastime
not found in America is tutoring.
Numerous well-to-do European
families are inviting American
college students to spend the
summer with them and teach
their children English.
Wages range to $400 a month,
and in most cases neither pre-
vious experience nor knowledge
of a foreign language is required.
ASIS, in its ninth year of opera-
tion, will place more American
students in summer jobs in
Europe this summer than ever
before.
Students interested in working
in Europe next summer may
write directly to Dept. II, ASIS,
22 Ave. de la Liberte, Luxem-
bourg City, Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg, enclosing $2 for the
ASIS 36-page booklet which con-
tains all jobs, wages, working
conditions, etc., job and travel
grant applications, and to cover
the cost ol handling and overseas
air mail postage.
Echo Asks Presidential
for Books
by Jane Brenckman
Very few Americans othei
than the families of the men in
Vietnam posses an awareness of
the urgent hopes, fears, and needs
of our soldiers. Martha Raye,
world-acclaimed comedienne, is
one of this embarrassingly small
number. She has attained this
astute understanding from direct
experience with the situation.
While she continues to maintain
her professional career, she has
devoted much time and effort
in Vietnam entertaining the
American troops there.
This summer, as she toured
various parts of the country in a
dramatic leading role. Miss Raye
made a special plea at the close
of the play's final act. She in-
formed the audience that she was
preparing to return to Vietnam
and suggested that there was one
way in which those of us at home
could demonstrate to the Ameri-
can soldiers in Vietnam our pride
and appreciation. Surprising as
it may seem, our soldiers would
most enjoy receiving paperback
books.
As a vital part of the emphasie
on Vietnam encouraged by the
Echo, a collection of some of the
thousands of extra books on cam-
pus will be made. From Monday
to Thursday staff members will
be canvasing door-to-door in an
effort to lend some lift to the
morale of the American forces.
For assistance with mailing and
packaging expense, the faculty
and staff will be contacted.
The effort required here is
minimal; the results can be of
^reat impact.
'Oklahoma' to
by Paul Millin
be Shown
Mark November twentieth as
an important date to remember,
for this is the night of the Sopho-
more class movie. At 8:00 P.M.
Rogers and Hammerstein's well-
known musical Oklahoma will
make its debut on our campus.
It costs only 25 cents for card-
carrying sophomores and 50
cents for all qthers, so plan to
attend this delightful show at
very reasonable prices.
The second presentation of the
1965-66 Lecture Series on Novem-
ber 1 9 will bring to the campus the
former prime minister of Hungary,
Ferenc Nagy.
Petition to be
Circulated
The Maryville College Circle
K message to the President is
presented to interest students and
faculty in the campus issue of
involvement in Vietnam. An in-
vitation to sign this statement is
extended to all students and
faculty members. This will co-
ordinate with the Echoes sponsor-
ship of a student-faculty forum
and book drive. Before the mes-
sage is sent to the President,
photostatic copies will be made
to mail to the American forces
in Vietnam.
To the Honorable Lyndon
Baines Johnson, President of the
United States of America.
We, the undersigned Faculty
and Students of Maryville Col-
lege, are opposed to the principle
of war, and we affirm our belief
that lasting peace among nations
can be achieved only through
continued negotiation in the
spirit of Christian love and toler-
ance. Moreover, we affirm our
confidence in the integrity and
judgment of the leaders of our
nation in their commitments to
the cause of world peace. We
recognize, however, that a peace-
loving nation may at times be
compelled to resist with military'
force the aggression of other na-
tions even as it seeks negotiation.
For this reason we view with
concern the actions of demon-
strators against the United States'
involvement in Vietnam, the de-
moralizing effects these demon-
strations could produce on the
spirit of our fighting men, and
the encouragement the demon-
strators thus offer to the Com-
munists.
We hereby attest to our active
support of our nation's stand in
this crisis, and we do express the
hope that our position may be
so understood around the world
as to assure every living person
that Americans stand united in
their defense of freedom and,
under God's guidance, will con-
tinue to strive for "liberty and
justice for all" until that goal is
achieved.

All organizations not photo-
graphed this afternoon will be con-
tacted and scheduled for a con-
venient time within the nezt three
weeks.
In the past few weeks there
has been much said about the
'•JNew Left," the latest and most
vocal of the groups that opposes
the effort in Vietnam, and the
''students" that make it up. This
small but very vocal minority
has been appointed by the na-
tional press to speak for Ameri-
can college students in general.
The '"New Left" has accepted
this appointment and has been
leading "parades" and "demon-
strations" from Berkeley to Chi-
cago to Washington. They wear
skulls, beat drums, and sing a
song written for the occasion
comparing the President to Hitler
and Stalin.
Is this group of draft dodgers,
mis-led pacificts, pseudo-intel-
lectuals, and communist organi-
zers going to be allowed to speak
for American students? They
have given Hanoi, Peking, and,
worst of all, the American sold-
iers fighting and dying in the
jungles of Vietnam the impres-
sion that they do speak for us.
It is difficult for one to imag-
ine the morale of men risking
their lives daily to uphold
American national honor when
they hear that their friends back
home are parading in the streets
Education
Week Outlined
by Helen Griffin
The theme of American Educa-
tion Week is "Invest in Learn-
ing," which comes from Ben
jamin Franklin's statement, "An
investment in knowledge always
pays the best interest." During
this week of November 7-13,
each day has been set aside to
examine a different area of edu-
cation: Sunday, Moral and
Spiritual Values; Monday, Culti-
vation of Intellect; Tuesday, En-
hancement of Personal Fulfill-
ment; Wednesday, Improvement
of Earning Powers; Thursday,
Development of Good Citizen-
ship; Friday, Enrichment of
Family and Community Life;
and Saturday, Development of
International Understanding.
During this week it is hoped
that each student and faculty
member will examine his intel-
lectual life to see that all these
aspects of education are included
m It.
The Student National Educa-
tion Association also invites all
students and faculty to visit one
of the public schools in the Mary-
ville area. It is the belief of the
SNEA that an understanding of
what the children do, of the cur-
riculum and of the program in
the schools will lead towards a
better informed public. There
will also be a series of displays
on campus for the viewing and
enjoyment of all.
Membership in the SNEA is
open to all students interested
in education. During this year
programs on discipline, retarded
children, Student Teaching and
other topics have been planned.
All are cordially invited to the
meetings.
to give aid and comfort to the
enemy.
No one questions that these
people have a right to parade and
demonstrate if they want. But if
they have a right, we, the vast
majority of college students, have
an obligation — to make our
true sentiments known in Hanoi
and Peking, and especially in
that jungle foxhole. We on this
campus have an obligation to
make our feelings known, not
particularly in some parade or
demonstration aimed at impress-
ing the communists, but we do
owe it to the boys in the foxholes
to let them know how we feel.
There are those who will say
that this is merely jumping on
the bandwagon, because there are
already movements beginning on
other campuses across the coun-
try to back the war in Vietnam.
But is it wrong to stand and
be counted just because you
weren't the first to stand? We
think it's high time Maryville
College students were counted.
Playhouse
Meeting Held
by Marty Miller
The second meeting of the
Playhouse was held Thursday
night, October 28. The business
meeting began with election of
officers: president, Joanne Gid-
ley ; vice-president, Celia Tiffany ;
secretary-treasurer. Donna Moss.
A program chairman will be ap-
pointed by the officers. The
activities for the coming yeai
were also discussed.
The guest speaker was Mr.
Maxwell from the advertising de-
partment of WBIR. He explained
some aspects of movie - making
and before his speech ran the
first reel of the "Ladykillers'*
as a sneak preview.
Mr. Maxwell described the
montage process used by Disney
in "Mary Poppins." This process
allows live actors to be put in
cartoon sequences and can also
be used for a flying effect. He
gave examples of special photo-
graphy effects such as those used
in the opening title for "Theater
X."
Refreshments were served after
the program in the back stage
area.
Playhouse membership is open
to anyone interested in any aspect
of theater: make-up, lighting,
construction, painting, costumes,
props, writing, directing, and
acting. No experience is required,
just willingness to work and have
fun.

• AND HEARD
Too many times this week there have been letters from friends
asking about our Thanksgiving plans. To each the reply has been
a rather bitter, "Well, as a matter of fact, I thought I'd go to chapel
a couple of times, four or five classes, Barnwarming, etc." You
know the answer: "Barnwarming???" That is the initial shock; then
there is the matter of chapel and classes . . . not on Thanksgiving
Day, to be sure, but it's about this Thanksgiving weekend thing.
We vaguely remember something special about our Freshman
Thanksgiving — a four-day holiday, perhaps? Those were the good
old days: time to sleep, cram, type, travel, play bridge, and the
other necessities somewhat limited in the course of an ordinary
college week. Those who had the money went to the Student Center;
those who didn't went to Florida.
There ,s always the danger of appearing ungrateful for the one „;,, have already earned them

Guilford Quakers Foil Scots'
Annual Homecoming Tilt
Last week's winner of Hie Amos
Alonzo Stagg Award, Scot co-captain
Mike Dalton will figure heavily in
tonisiht's contest.
The Maryville College Scots
dropped their sixth game in as
many outings to Guilford as an
enthusiastic Homecoming crowd
looked on.
27-0 at halftime
The Scots received the opening
kickoff and marched down the
field only to have their impres-
sive drive bog down on the
fifteen. Sonny Hughes' field goal
attempt was short and speedy
Guilford halfback Danny Mc-
Queen broke the Scots' back as
he went 87 yards to score. The
Quakers scored three times in
the second period to command a
27-0 lead at the half.

Maryville returned from inter-
mission and quickly scored on
a twelve yard pass from Harvey
Crabtree to Mike Dalton. Full-
back Keith Baily was the big gun
in the Scots' drive.
Dutton and Story sidelined
Guilford struck twice in the
fourth quarter to end the game
39-6. Defensive stalwarts Gary
Dutton and Don Story were lost
for the remainder of the cam-
paign. Dutton, a 255 pound
tackle, sustained a chipped knee
while Story, 190 pound line-
backer and defensive captain
suffered an undetermined knee
injury. Both will be sorely missed
by the Scot defensive unit.
Sig's Sledges Are
Intramural Aces
In intramural football the past
two weeks, there was a dominance
of the league by Alpha Sigma's
teams, the Sledgehammers and
the Hammers.
The Sledges defeated Kappa
Phi's Knights in a high scoring
contest, 39-33. Sig's golden boys
were led by end Big Jdhn Agnew,
who scored three touchdowns on
40, 10 and 8 yard pass plays.
Quarterback Dick Craig notched
up three tallies as he hit paydirt
on runs of 60, 15, and 5 yards.
The Sledgehammers capitalized
on the Knights numerous mis-
takes as they took advantage of
an onsides kick and interceptions
and turned them into points.
The Knights' Lynn Howard
was again the man to stop as he
rambled through his own i3ack-
field picking out his receivers
when they were open.
Scots Succumb to
Millsaps for Loss
Number Seven
Maryville dropped their seven
th consecutive game of the year
to Millsaps College in Jackson,
Mississippi, by a 28-13 margin.
Hughes converts
Major halfback Tommy Dick-
erson proved too much for the
Scots as he scored three times.
Millsaps combined a strong run-
ning game with an effective
passing attack to defeat the Scots.
Maryville scored in the second
period when sophomore tailback
Danny Rogers bolted over from
three yards out to climax a long
drive. Sonny Hughes converted
for the point after touchdown.
Dalton runs 85 ytrdt
Down 28-7 at intermission, the
Scots came roaring back as cap-
tain Mike Dalton took the second
half kickoff and returned it 85
yards to the Major five yard line.
Quarterback Herman Ramsey
sneaked in for the tally. The kick
was wide and the score remained
28-13.
Maryville's defense held Mill-
saps at bay for the remainder
of the contest, but the damage
was done and number seven
went down the drain.
The Scots play host to a strong
Mars Hill College team tonight
at 8 :00 and will be long overdue
for win number one. Mars Hill
was defeated in last year's con-
test 6-0.
In other contests the Hammers
of Alpha Sigma tied Kappa Phi's
Squires 13-13. Sig quarterback
Dave Spencer led the scoring in
that game with two touchdowns.
Vision is the art of seeing things

Faculty All-Stars
by Lynn St. Clair
Saturday evening, October 30,
the Faculty All-Stars met the
Varsity basketball team in th6
first annual Faculty-Varsity
clash. Entering the game as
underdogs, the hustling Faculty
stayed even with the Varsity for
three periods, only to lose in the
final second of play, 82-23.
Precision Unit
The condition of the faculty
and their fine all-around play
gave evidence of many long
hours of practice. The team work-
ed their numerous plays to per-
fection and their precision pass-
ing constantly had the varsity off
balance.
Ramger, Hileman Star
Leading the scoring for the
faculty was Big Bob Ramger
(14) and A. E. Hileman (3).
Mr. Hileman highlighted the
game by using a playground ball
to shoot fouls and by scoring
once at an off court basket. Cap-
tain Denny McGowen led the
Varsity.
Students Get Preview
Following the faculty game, the
Varsity held an intersquad scrim-
mage. Those fans that stayed,
were treated to a look at what is
quite possibly the best team
Maryville has had in recent
years. With five returning letter-
men and the addition of several
new members, team members
feel they can have a winning
season. Freshmen Les (6'6")
Dunson and Lynn Raby looked
especially good. The Scots still
have a full month of practice in
preparation for the season's open-
er December 2 at Bryan College.

The field hockey tournament
was won by Theta Epsilon with
a score of five to four. Ping
pong and horseshoes are now
being played and all participants
are asked to see the bulletin
board in the intramural gym to

Please remember that if the

order. Rules for both ping pong
and horseshoes are posted in the

cumulative score wins.

It could have been favorite
Uncle Artie just dropping by for
a visit with the young'uns, but
it wasn't — it was Art Linkletter
speaking to an attentive group
composed mainly of students on
October 21 as the first program
of the U-T Forum series.
Bible reading and commercials
Mr. Linkletter charmed the en-
tire audience with his beaming
homey personality. He told of his
rise from boyhood life as the
son of an itinerant Baptist minis-
ter to the TV personality of to-
day. As a boy he used to have to
read the Eihle aloud to his father
(who knew it by heart) for an
hour a day, all the time thinking
of playing baseball and the good
times he was missing. Today he
realizes this was a valuable ex-
perience— he is able to read his
commercials with utmost sin-
cerity.
Linkletter intended to become
an English teacher but took a
radio announcing job instead be-
cause it paid $125 a month, not
$120 (this for a 60 hour-a-week
job — and we thought student help
wages were bad). He figures
over the years the decision has
made $450 more dollars for him
— at least.
Actually, at fifty-three. Link-
letter has been in a high income
bracket for twenty years. Twenty
years of pestering by the Internal
Revenue Service. He plans to
have his body cremated and sent
to the IRS in an envelope with
a note, "Now you have it all!"
Thinking man important
Art Linkletter had a litde to
say about almost everything —
his view that man will not use
the bomb, his support as an
American of declared govern-
ment policies, specifically that

in Vietnam, and the belief that
machines will never replace the
"thinking man" (despite the
Berkeley student who wasn't
known to exist until he bent his
IBM card).
He urged students to regard
their college diplomas as licenses
to further learning — the only
hope for "staying alive."
Caring is what matters
He gives two challenging
questions to ask oneself, "What
needs to be done?" and "How
can I help do it?"
"Caring makes the difference,"
he said, caring and, "something
to work for, something to love,
something to hope for." In pos-
sessing these, one will "master
the art of living."
The audience loved Mr. L.
they gave him a standing ovation
After the lecture, Linkletter
received the audience in the U-T
University Center. Dr. Fuhr in-
troduced himself as Dean of
Maryville College, a Presbyterian
school nearby. As the Fuhrs walk-
ed on, a man rushed up to Mr.
Linkletter, "As a fellow Baptist
I want to welcome you." "Care-
ful," he said, "you're standing
next to a Presbyterian." The
Fuhrs laughed; Linkletter gave
one of his famous winks.

The Lantern
by Sara Parker
Questions are flying as to the
nature of future plans for our
new coffeehouse. The Lantern.
(Perhaps it's time to shed a
little light on the subject? . . .)
Maybe 'fresh" coffee-houst
would be a better choice of word
here — fresh, in that a change in
location (due to extensive prob-
lems of basement ventilation and
sound) has meant a change in
atmosphere and an attempt to
keep the basic idea relevant to
a unique situation.
Projected plans include being
open two or three evenings a
week for coffee and other menu
specialties of the evening. Pro-
grams will be of an undeter-
mined number, as the opportuni-
ties and needs arise, all of an
informal nature, of as much
variety as possible. Decor will
tend toward the continental.
A note may be in order here
concerning other uses of the
facilities: groups and organiza-
tions are more than welcome to
use the Lantern rooms, including
the kitchen, for meetings and
parties, when they are not in
regular use. However, arrange-
ments must be made through the
office of the Dean of Women.
Plans are in full swing for much
of a rennovation which, we
hope, will not be long in com-
ing. Meanwhile, everyone is wel-
come— the conversation's free!
Ed$ note: This is the first in a

to be published in each issue. If

ment which permits millions of
people to listen to the same joke at

O'Neill Play More Funds
Presented by Received
Playhouse
The play generally considered
to be Eugene O'Neill's greatest,
the monumental "Mourning Be-
comes Elektra," was presented by
the Maryville College Playhouse
Friday and Saturday, November
12 and 13, at 8:15 p.m. in the
College Theatre. The original
play, which was six hours long
and had a cast of 20, was cut to
about three hours with a cast of
11. Thomas E. Jones was the
Director, assisted by student As-
sistant Director Margaret Shak-
lee.
In the lead roles were Diane
Caylor as Lavinia Mannon and
William Klingener as Orin Man-
non. Nancy Vann played the part
of Christine Mannon, and Keith
Jones played Adam Brant. Other
roles were taken by John Myers
as Seth Beckwith, Carol Vander-
griff as Minnie, Sue Donaldson
ds Louisa Ames, Peter Neale as
Amos Ames, Sue Anthony as
Hazel Niles, Fred Callies as Peter
Niles, and Harry Lyle as Brig.
Gen. Ezra Mannon. The Chanty-
man was Peter Neale.
There were four settings foi
O'Neill's psychological drama
based on the Agamemnon story
from ancient Greece with many
overtones of contemporary Freu-
dian psychology. The play opened
at the Mannon house in Mas-
sachusetts at the end of the Civil
War, and the scene changed from
the exterior to the interior of the
house, including a sitting room
and bedroom, and then to a clip-
per ship.
Costumes authentic
Scenery for the Maryville Col-
lege production, designed by the
Playhouse Director, was a series
of free-standing sets which could
be rolled on and off stage from
the wings. The exterior scene of
the Mannon house measured 14 x
24 feet and was probably the
largest single set ever built in the
excellently equipped Maryville
College Theatre.
Each of the three acts of the
O'Neill play was a separate play,
and music was used extensively
between the acts. Most of the
music was the ballad "Shen-
nandoah" which was specified by
the author in the original script.
Costumes were authentic for the
period, with Waborate dresses of
brocade and velvet for the women
and Union Army Civil War uni-
forms for the men.
APPRECIATION EXTENDED
The Editor would like to ex-
press her appreciation >o those
listed here and all others who

More than $4,000,000 in new
resources has been received by
Maryville College in the $7,000,-
000 campaign of the Sesquicen-
tennial Development Program to
be concluded in 1969, Director
of Development Raymond I.
Brahams, Jr., reported to the
Board of Directors at their an-
nual fall meeting. The $7,000,000
goal was set for the decade 1960-
1 970, and the report to the Board
was the total received up to last
May 31.
New dormitories will be constructed
The Sesquicentennial Program
will close May 31, 1970, at the
end of the College's 150th an-
niversary celebration during the
1969-1970 school year.
The key goal in the program,
doubling of faculty salaries, has
already been met, and increases
will continue, Mr. Brahams told
the Board. In addition, new
science facilities are assured and
financial aid to students has been
increased. Several new dormi-
tories will be constructed during
the coming year.
Total received is $4,028,363
A breakdown of the goal
=!hows that $3,000,000 was need-
ad for current operations,
$1,500,000 in additional endow-
ment, and $2,500,000 for capital
improvements and new con-
struction. Toward these goals the
amounts received are $2,001,230
for current operations, $721,131
in additional endowment, and
$583,107 for capital improve-
ments. In addition, $17,500 is
unallocated, $21,000 has been
given for other special purposes,
and $684,305 represents unpaid
pledges to the Development Fund
Campaign, most of which will
eventually be spent for new build-
ings and equipment. The total re-
ceived is $4,028,363.
Over $650,000 received by May 31
Meanwhile, full-time enroll-
ment for a full year has risen
from 654 in 1958-59 to 772 in
1964-65, and total enrollment this
fall is 812.
During the fiscal year which
ended last May 31, the College
received $655,618.67 in gifts, in-
cluding cash and real estate.
Announced
Picturad above are the students elected to Who's Who. From left to right:

Queen Mary Simpson and King John
Mulholland will reign during
Thanksgiving festivities on Novem-
ber 25, including the Honaker Bowl
game with Earlham College at 2:30
and Barnwarming at 8:00. Mary, a
psychology major, is from Smithfield,
Kentucky and |ohn, a biology major
is from Youngstown, Ohio.
Plane Chartered
for Philadelphia
This Christmas, as last spring
vacation, Maryville College will
have a chartered plane round-trip
to Philadelphia, Pa. The contract
this year is with Delta Airlines.
The cost to the student will save
approximately $20 on a coach
class ticket and $30 on a first
class fare. The capacity is seven-
ty-seven (77) passengers on a
DC-7 aircraft. Seats will be given
on a first come basis. A deposit
of $10 will hold a reservation,
with the balance due by De-
cember 5. Total cost for the
round-trip flight and the charter-
ed bus to and from the campus
is $57.60. The Treasurer's Office
is handling the reservations.
If you are needing only a one-
way ticket, come in and sign-up.
You will be paired with someone
who needs the other half of your
reservation. The one-way cost is
$28.80. We can also arrange for
connections to New York, Boston,
and points beyond Philadelphia
if you will leave your request
when making your reservation.
If you have any additional
questions, see either Dave Conk-
lin or Fred Abramoff.
Dr. Young to be
Visiting Lecturer
Dr. David P. Young, Assistant
Professor of Chemistry at Mary-
ville College, has been selected
as a lecturer for the Visiting
Scientist Program of the Tennes-
see Academy of Science. The pro-
gram, supported by the National
Science Foundation, provides
scientists, engineers, and mathe-
maticians who visit secondary
schools to discuss scientific topic?
and projects with students,
teachers and administrators.
High schools are encouraged
to invite the visiting scientists,
and Dr. Young has so far been
invited to the Cocke County High
School in Newport for a visit in
February, 1966.
The program is designed to
stimulate an interest in science
on the part of the students and
offer support and professional
advice to high school teachers.

Six New Members
Admitted to
Tau Kappa Chi
by Mary Rucker
Tau Kappa Chi, the honorary
music society of Maryville Col-
lege, wishes to announce the ad-
mittance of six new members to
its organization. They are Alice
Junken, Carol Pucey, Jim Breck-
enridge, Joe Henry, Lee Sikes,
and Mike Shaver.
The name Tau Kappa Chi is
formed by the Greek letters
which stand for a phrase mean
ing "the beautiful is difficult.
In order to become a member of
the group, a student must have
an over-all scholastic average of
2.5 with a 3.00 in music courses.
A student majoring in any field
is eligible if studying applied
music for credit.
New members were given a
party on November 4 at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. Harter. The
music faculty, which votes on
the acceptance of members to
the organization, was present.
Tom Llewellyn, president of Tau
Kappa Ohi, and secretary Mary
Rucker, oudined plans for the
year. Besides its regular duties
of providing ushers for faculty
recitals, Tau Kappa Chi will pre-
sent a series of seminars led by
members of the music faculty.
The first of these seminars, all
of which pertain to some phase
of twentieth century music, will
be Thursday night, December 2,
with Dr. Bloy leading a discus-
sion on "Contemporary Trends in
L'turgical Music."
The 1965-1966 members of
Who's Who Among Students in
American Colleges and Univer-
sities who have been selected by
the Maryville College seniors and
faculty members are as follows:
Sandra Briggs, Elizabeth Brown,
Carole Brownlee, Sandra Chit-
tick, Louise Crawford, Michael
Dalton, David Ellison, William
Erwin, Marianne Jefferson, Hugh
McCampbell, Sara Parker, Rich-
ard Reed, Keith Renne, Dale
Schellenger, Lewright Sikes, Reed
Tarwater, and Oliver Williams.
Qualifications necessary for election
Who's Who Among Students
In American Universities and
Colleges was started in the school
year 1934-1935. The organization
began with the idea of creating
one national basis of recognition
for college students that would
be democratic and devoid of
dues.
Election by Who's Who means
that a student is officially re-
cognized by his college or uni-
versity and by the national or-
ganization. Nominations may be
submitted by any four-year de-
gree-granting institution. College
juniors, seniors and graduate stu-
dents are eligible for nomina-
tions. The selection usually in-
volves a student's scholarship, his
leadership and co-operation in
educational and extracurricular
activities, his general citizenship,
and his promise of future useful-
ness.

EDITCI^IAI CUTLCCr
Iff the last issue's "Seen and Heard," we included a comment
that went something like this: "You can read the Knoxville Journal
from front to back and never find anything but funnies." Little did
we dream at the time that these words would have a special signifi-
cance again this week.
Those students and faculty members who attended last week's
Vietnam forum will understand the point to be made here. Those
who didn't will probably be able to figure it out without much
trouble.
Present at the forum was a Journal reporter (to use the term
very loosely), who subsequently wrote an article that appeared on
Saturday, November 1 3th. It isn't necessary to relate the entire con-
tent of the article since the first sentence sums up the tone of the
thing pretty well : "Nearly 200 Maryville College students and faculty
members last night expressed their opposition to United States in-
volvement in Vietnam in a campus forum." This statement must
have come as quite a shock to those people who were unaware they
had participated in a calculated effort to undermine American
policy. We feel sure that even those two panelists who did express
opposition to the Vietnam war would agree that the Journal remarks
were completely unjust.
Now then, after working closely since September with our own
newspaper, we can understand the temptation to slant news stories
to our best advantage. We fail to see, however, that there is an
excuse for unadulterated falsehood in the field of journalism.
The Highland Echo sponsored its Vietnam Week because the
staff saw a definite need for campus involvement in a world-wide
issue. The books were collected and the petition signed to visibly
demonstrate this involvement, and the forum was held so that we
might all profit from the opinions of others. It is only through such
interaction of ideas that we can ever expect to confirm our own
beliefs. The forum was just that. No conclusions were reached; none
were expected. Things are getting pretty bad when a group of
people cannot meet for discussion without being labeled as anti-
American by a newspaper determined to oppose whatever vague
thing it is they dislike about our school.
Our questions are these: How in the world can we ever be sure
of anything we read when there has been an example of such un-
reponsible reporting so closely affecting us all? How can we pos-
sibly respect a newspaper that apparently cares nothing for truth?
Quintet
Success
by Sarah Tompkins
The New York Woodwind
Quintet in concert here November
5, presented a program of cham-
ber music that was well-received
by the student, patron, musician,
and faculty audience. Being one
of the more uncommon forms of
musical expression, chamber
music has the delicate flavor that
enables it to delight the serious
music lover, or provide a gentle
means of falling into sophistic-
ated sleep. This group of music-
ians held the interest of the
audience unflinchingly to the end
of the concert.
The program began with a
light selection by the Mannheim
composer, Franz Danzi, and then
shifted into the twentieth cen-
tury with Carl Nielson. Next per-
formed was a concerto by An-
tonio Vivaldi, and then two
works by Milhaud and Hinde-
mith. The selections by twentieth
century composers were the most
interesting parts of the program
and were best received by the
audience.
The rapport between the play-
ers, so very essential in this type
of music was excellent. The sen-
sitivity of each member of the
group allowed the instruments to
mold themselves into a unified
sound and yet the quality of each
instrument was easily discernible.

Praise,
With its compliments,
Its seeming flattery,
Conveys a world
Of inner warmth
And happiness.
It tends to inspire,
To encourage,
To create an emotion
Of gratitude
Mingled quietly
With a breath of humility.
The barriers of shyness
Are shattered;
The fears of opinion
Are overcome.
And, then.
The miracle of true workmanship
Can begin to show itself.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
I was disturbed by the be-
havior of the audience during
last Friday night's performance
of Mourning Becomes Electro. It
appears that many people came
to see just "a play" — a play
being primarily a form of enter-
tainment, not an art form. What
they saw on the stage seemed to
remind them of a movie or tele-
vision program — perhaps the
Playhouse should sell popcorn.
What is the legitimate theatre
— did the compulsive gigglers in
that audience have any idea? It's
older than "perfect" theatre,
where if someone fails to catch a
coin the scene can be re-filmed.
1 shall be explicit. Some mis-
guided person behind me said
"clunk" when a character was
shot on the stage. He was rolled
over and the person actually
came out with another "clunk."
Now that boy was not really
dead; the person knew that. But
Conty p. 6, col. 1
Dear Editor,
It's not because I'm a senior
and feel it's my last opportunity
for gripes that I'm writing this
letter. It's because for the first
time in four years I have man-
aged a schedule with no Satur-
day classes. Now, isn't that
great?? Yes, it's just tremendous,
especially when one can start it
off with "spiritual inspiration at
8:00 a.m."
After two months of Saturday
trudging, I decided to go to the
office and make sure it was really
required. Yes, indeed it was. But
this wasn't what really bothered
me. The complete irrelevance of
the answers I received literally
floored me.
In answer to why I had to go:
(1) Well, you live on campus,
don't you? (What that had to do
with why one should get up for
ten minutes of cheering, five min-
utes of announcements, and one
chapter of Psalms, I'll never
know.)

Dear WSGA,
What are you? Are you a radio station? Or are you a ham
operator's code letters? You say you are the Women's Student
Government Association. Whew ! No wonder you use the initials. Who
is a member? Every woman on campus, eh? And you are run
by a few officers. So they're the ones who planned the supper that
Saturday. I could hardly believe that anyone would serve us a free
meal. What is it that you called those sloppy joes? Maggie's special.
They were delicious. And you gave seconds and thirds too. That
was almost too much for me to comprehend.
Then you had that program ijunday night. WSGA has never
sponsored a discussion before. What was the book that you used?
The Feminine Mystique. Yes, I remember. The author, Betty
Friedan, comments on the role of the twentieth century woman.
A woman's role is something more that being a housewife. And I'm
glad that you asked Dr. Swenson to lead the discussion. She is vitally
concerned about the woman's role today.
Is this a one-program-a-year deal? No? Good. I was afraid that
you would say yes. You have a series of programs planned? What
are the other programs about? Oh, your topic for the series is the
role of women today. Ah, I'm beginning to understand. Each program
will dWell on a separate aspect of the woman's role. Right? Right.
Well, just tell me when the next one is and I'll be there.
Sincerely,
\ woman student

Among the recurrent gripes of the last few years is the one
about Maryville not preparing us for the "outside world." When-
ever I hear this general statement, I'm reminded of the old Middle
Tennessee saying: 'The Good Lord made us all with the same
wonderful ability for being a fool — some of us just exercise it
more than others."
How easy it is to get wrapped up in daily life. The well adjusted
mind their own business and someone else's too. The mal-adjusted
find even more exciting ways to pass the day.

Snap out of it! This school has
an obligation to educate you, not
to raise you. One has to step out
of his own little world before he
can really see the outside world.
Below is an excerpt from a
letter from a former Maryville
College student in Vietnam.
All in ail, I'm afraid we're
doomed over here. If someone like
Nixon or Goldwater were in the
White House, our chance might
be better. But, as long as we re-
main in the U.N. and try to fight
the same people we support, our
chances are ever so slight. Of
course LBJ's great society seems
to be a haven^ for the very ene-
mies that we're fighting over here,
so if our house isn't clean, it's
hard to imagine how we'll ever
clean up a countiy 10,000 miles
away. I hear that Marines return-
ing from Vietnam have been kill-
ed and beaten up in airports and
bus depots by teenagers who pro-
test against our inhumane activity
over here against the Vietnamese.
If you run across any of those
milk-fed idealists, ask them how
they'd feel if they saw one of
their friends hanging from a tree
by his toes with his testacies cut
ott and stuffed in his mouth.
These orientals are unlike the oc-
cidentals in numerous respects.
Women and children as well as
men are part of the V.C. They're
very treacherous people who take
advantage of us good-hearted,
generous Americans, and some-
times we have to do unpleasani
things for our own protection. I'lr
afraid that few Americans actually
realixe what we're up against.
It kind of makes you wonder
how important stinking shoes and
brand new shoes, special studies
and special buddies really are,
doesn't it?
Who's Who, con't from p. 1,

There is no competition be-
tween schools because of the
diversification of curricula and
extracurricular activities. The
quota for each institution \*i
determined by the number eligi
ble in the student body. When a
student is chosen he is required
to give biographical material to
be printed in a publication which
is released the summer after the
candidates are submitted.
Each student who becomes a
member receives without cost a
certificate of recognition, a
writeup in the annual publica-
tion, and the benefits of the Stu-
dent Placement Service to aid in
securing employment.
At the big fires, when the Red
Cross came, (the firemen) drink
coffee and bite sandwiches. It's a
beautiful thing to watch a man who
really deserves the food he eats.

( A review of the November 1 3 per-
formance)
by John Kerr
The first Playhouse production
of the 1965-66 season, Eugene
O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Elek-
tra, must go down as an out-
standing performance. A psy-
chological analysis of hatred and
its guilt consequences, this play
was dominated by a foreboding
heaviness, the portrayal and
maintenance of which were
primarily a result of cast unity.
Suspense main dramatic elment
Drama and tension were high
throughout, particularly center-
ing around the violent deaths.
Yet for the careful observer the
■"deaths came not as an unsuspect-
ed shock ; but rather as inevitable
events, foreshadowed masterfully
in previous actions and speeches
by the actors. Indeed, this over-
all suspense due to foreknow-
ledge was the dramatic element
whidh drew the audience directly
into the action of the play.
Audience responds inappropriately
Unfortunately, the audience
was not prepared at times for the
emotional depths to which they
were exposed. I refer specificalh
to the ship scene in Act Two.
Having just shot Adam, Orin,
who is wavering on insanity, re-
marks that the murder seems like
his own suicide. Unwilling to
sympathize with Orin's reference
to his own deterioration, the
" audience laughed — a most in-
appropriate response!
Characters occasionally harsh
Concerning the cast's per-
formance, articulation and pro-
jection were excellent from the
opening lines on, being; remark-

It is time again to clear up some questions about the coffee-
house. Briefly, these are some of the ideas we have discussed and
set in motion. We will establish the practise of being open every
Friday and Saturday night, regardless of the program, for coffee
and conversation. Some nights will be casual sings, with coffee, tea,
cokes, cookies, and a fire in the fireplace. Other evenings will
feature discussions, speakers, readings, art displays, and musical
and dramatic presentations. How many times have you and your
date, you and your roommate, you and your mood — wanted to
stop at a place to sit and chat? We now may have the perfect place!
We do not want this to become routine to the point that it is boring
in atmosphere, program, or menu, and are going to great lengths to
keep it exciting and varied. You have a standing invitation.
A note concerning organiza-
tion: a "board of directors" has
been established, which will
change as time schedules and
interests permit. Sara Parker is
chairman ; Bob Young is in char-
ge of programming; Margaret
Lee Moffett is heading admini-
stration ; Marvin Beard is treasur-
er.
Once in awhile it is our aim
to have a Special — and Thanks-
giving is a good time to begin!
Great things are in store for
Saturday the 27th. Going to the
formal and no time to go out
to dinner before the dance?
Don't want to eat your sack
supper? Not going to the formal
but want some excitement? All
of these problems solved:
The Lantern will be open for
you at seven o'clock for a light
supper — in a European flavor.
Begin a gala evening of dancing
or a light evening of a European
party. Entertainment for those
coming to and from The Lantern
throughout the evening includes
special autumn readings of litera-
ture, relaxing piano music, per-
haps a few European folk-songs.
One of the most important
aspects of the evening — and one
in which you all can and must
take part — will be in establish-
ing the welcome of all faciilty,
community people, and visiting
parents and friends. Many of
these will be helping in prepara-
tions for this first Special; In
fact, several are already offering
to donate tempting dishes, and
making helpful suggestions. We
owe thanks to them and welcome
them to The Lantern any time,
but especially November 27.
In the meantime, get your
interest built up, come to The
Lantern on Fridays and Saturday
evenings, or to a work session if
you're so moved ! It is impossible
for this coffeehouse to succeed
in its purposes unless each one
of us takes an active interest in
making it so.
Look for more announcements
— follow the developments — and
come on over — to The Lantern.

Few students realize the abundant treasures held for them in
the Lamar Memorial Library. Not only are 77,000 books made avail-
able to them; there are also numerous periodicals, microcards, news-
papers on microfilm, and map, pamphlet, and picture files. These
are all available to the students through the open stack system. Stu-
dents, too, may check out an unlimited number of books for use.
Extensive use is made of the
library each year. For example,
about 36,000 of the library's
77,000 books circulated last year
at the rate of 200-400 a day. In
addition, 11,000 books passed
over the reserve desk. Imagine,
then, the many hands through
which these books must pass in
order to reach you, the student!
The library also houses several
valuable collections: an art col-
lection, a museum, and an old
book collection. Paintings in the
art collection are the work of
Elizabeth Gowdy Baker, who be-
queathed them to the college
upon her death. Her works range
from beautiful landscapes to
realistic portraits. In the museum
can be found relics from the
Civil War, collections of dolls and
crafts from foreign countries,
aged bricks from early Maryville
College buildings, and many
other interesting and unique
items. Of particular interest are
the items from the Orient. Books
in the treasure collection are of
diverse types. Some are those
which belonged to Isaac Ander-
son, while others are those which
once circulated in the library.
Especially treasured are a copy
of Samuel Johnson's dictionary
and an early English copy of
the Bible.
So, if you ever have a free
afternoon, why not go to the li-
brary and view some of the trea-
sures made available to you?
You will soon see that the library
is more than a building filled
with books. It is a storehouse of
valued items for every person's
interest.
To know what you prefer, instead
of humbly saying Amen to what
the world tells you you ought to
prefer, is to have kept your soul
alive.
— Robert Louis Stevenson

November 5-6 the debate team
participated in the Applachian
Debate Tournament held at Ap-
plachian State Teachers College
in Boone, North Carolina. We
left the college at six o'clock Fri-
day morning and enjoyed a jolly
trip over the mountains. Upon
checking into the motel we found
that Dr. Walker had been as-
signed to the bridal suite. Her
classic comment was, "Just my
luck to be in the bridal suite
alone!" This one incident more
or less set the mood for the whole
tournament and we found that
this one was more relaxed than
the Mercer Tournament — and
more successful. The varsity
squad won eight and lost four;
the novice squad won five and
lost seven. Paul Millin received a
certificate for excellent debating
in the novice division. Both Wan-
da Hannah and Lee Sikes won
speaking certificates for superior
debating, in the varsity division,
Lee having the highest number
speaking points in the entire
tournament. We left Saturday
afternoon and enjoyed driving
through the colorful mountains,
some of us facing forward and
some of us facing backward. The
team has only one other tourna-
ment this semester, a novice
tournament at Carson Newman
College.

Scots Defeated in Grid Finale Hardcourt OutlooJc Brigliter Lions Hold
The Carson-Newman Eagles
provided Maryville's Scots with a
dreary end for a dismal season
turning a close first half into a
37-7 rout at the final gun.
The Eagles scored first on a
46 yard run by Larry Watson in
the first period and added seven
more points on a 12 yard pass
play in the second quarter.
Maryville came back in the
second period converting Herman
Ramsey's pass interception into
pay dirt. Sophomore tailback
Danny Rogers provided the
punch with hard nosed running
and a quick scamper around left
end for the touchdown.
Carson-Newman took a 13-7
lead to the locker room at inter-
mission. The Scots received the
second half kick off after having
been penalized for delay of
game as the halftime show ex-
ceeded the twentv minute limit.
Each time Maryville threaten-
ed in the second half, a major
penalty, fumble, or an inter-
ception would kill the drive.
Carson-Newman scored twice
in each of the final two periods
bring the final total to 37-7.
Maryville takes an 0-8-1 re-
cord into the Honaker Bowl
Thanksgiving Day against Earl-
ham College of Indiana. Kick-off
is at 2:30 in this first annual
bowl sponsored by the Honaker
Club of Maryville. The gate goes

letes in honor of the late coach
Lombe Honaker.

S5.95
for Coming Campaign
by Frank Gready
Practice is underway on the
1965-1966 Scot basketball team.
With returning lettermen, captain
Dennis McGowan, Mike Dalton,
Dave Alexander and Jack Llewel-
lyn, the Scots look forward to
improving last year's 6-18 record.
This year's team consists of 5
freshmen headed by center Les
Dunson.
Coach Baird has picked pos-
sible starters Denny McGowan,
Dave Alexander, Les Dunson,
Jack Llewellyn and Don Payne.
McGowan is the only 3 year
letterman on the squad and
should have his best year yet. He
has shown considerable improve-
ment and is a hustling team
leader. Alexander is impressive in
practice and is probably the most
improved man from last year's
squad. He will be relied upon
heavily for commanding the
boards. Llewellyn, playing one of
the guard positions, is the team's
best shooter with a consistant set
shot from the outside. The Soot
playmaker, Don Payne, is the.
best floorman combining leader-
ship with operating and good
ball handling. Les Dunson, the
only starting freshman, is a wel-
come sight to the Scot court.
Coming from basketball rich
Ohio, he played for the 1963-
1964 class double A Ohio State
champions. At 6'6", he is the
tallest man on the sqjuad.
One distinguished character-
istic over last year's team is the
improved bench. With four re-
turnees, and five new players,
the bench boasts plenty of reserve
strength.
Letterman Mike Dalton is a
hustler on defense and play-
maker. Danny Mitchell is counted
on for front line reserve. Sopho-
mores Gary Meyer and Jim
Hogue round out the veterans.
Meyer is tabbed by Coach Baird
as "the most aggressive man on
the team." Hogue's shooting has
improved, and he will be counted
on to add an extra punch to the
offense.
The five new players are Dean
Clark, a transfer student from
Blackburn College in Illinois, and
freshmen Darrel Maietta, Dave
Maxwell, Lynn Raby and Chuck
Rumford. These men have shown
aggressiveness in practice, and
have provided Coach Baird with
the most balanced bench in many
years.
Pre-season injuries have hit the
Scots hard. Mike Dalton and
Danny Mitchell both have wrist
injuries, and will miss a good
portion of the season. Freshman
Lynn Raby has a knee injury,
which might necessitate a pos-
sible operation. In addition. Jack
Llewellyn, Don Payne, and Gary
Meyer have all suffered injuries
but should be ready by the first
game.

Scots to Tie
The Maryville Scots teamed up
against the Mountain Lions of
Mars Hill in a grueling defensive
battle that ended in a 6-6 stale-
mate.
The Scots drew first blood near
the end of the first period when
senior quarterback Herman Ram-
sey rifled an 11 yard bullet to
end Sonny Webb in the end zone.
Sonny Hughes' attempt for the
point after was blocked by a
charging Mars Hill lineman.
Not to be denied, Mars Hill
came back to even the score in
the waning moments of the first
half on a four yard sweep. The
conversion attempt was wide and
the half time score was 6-6.
Neither team could push across
another tally the remainder of
the contest as the Scot defense
held and the offense could not
generate a scoring drive.
Maryville's defense played
superbly as they limited Mars
Hill to a mere 2.2 yards per
attempt. Herman Ramsey snag-
ged three Mountain Lion aerials,
one setting up the touchdown.
He was awarded the Amos Alonzo
Stagg Award for his performance
in the game.
This hard hitting contest was
by far the Scots' best showing
this year. Hard running Danny
Rogers provided the offensive
spark on the ground as Ramsey
was effective in the air. Co-cap-
tain Mike Dalton suffered a
broken wrist and is out for the
remainder of the campaign.
Volleyball Tourney
on Tap for WAA
by Ginger Profflft
Women's intramural volleyball
practice began Tuesday, Novem-
ber 16, under the direction of
manager Peggy Williams. En-
thusiasm has always been high
for this popular sport, and the
teams should be very good again
this year.
Congratulations go to Kathy
Bishop and her fine Theta team
that emerged victorious in the
soccer competition. They defeat-
ed Chi Beta in the final game on
Thursday to win 12-3. Chi Beta
had two soccer teams with Marge
Stewart and Joyce Rumiers as
captains. Thus far in intramurals
Theta has won all three events —
hockey, soccer, and ping pong.

Letters to the Editor, Cont. from p. 2, cols. 4, 5
let's help the illusion a bit! Were
the gigglers embarrassed or mere-
ly amused when people died or
embraced on the stage?
Then there is the snicker de-
partment. In the last part of the
trilogy there was a problem with
similar lines which caused one
part of a scene to be repeated.
This is a quite understandable
error to make in a long play with
recurrent themes and even re-
current words. This envoked
snickers from the enlightened
people around me.
Consider a few things about
the difficulty of the art form. If
a pianist hits the wrong note, do
people giggle? When an actor
is using his whole being in an
effort to become the character he
is portraying does it not, to put
it mildly, distract him to hear
such a callous, objective, shall I
say ignorant audience reaction
as a giggle?
Aristotle was the first of a long
line of wise people who tried to
convince us that serious theatre
is not primarily entertainment,
flut with the competition of Hol-
lywood it is difficult for people
to get involved in "live" art. But
shall we reassess our attitudes and
try?
-Mrs. James A. Bloy
Giye us the strength that comes
from being understood.
— Mrs. Webb, Chapel prayer
(2) Well, what are you going
to do when you get out into the
world? This really dumbfounded
me — literally, "what in the
world" did that have to do with
it? Maybe they think if we have
off Saturday we'll still be re-
quired to go to 8:00 a.m. coffee
break if we live within a radius
of five blocks? I was, however,
relieved to hear an admittance of
this being another world.
I was then informed that town
students were not required to
attend Saturday chapel if they
had no classes. Since I ha^ been
out of town on two Saturdays, 1
asked if I could then appeal these
cuts. The answer received was
the driving force to write this
letter:
"Why, just take them as part
of your five. What would you do
with them anyway?" (At the
time I could only think of maybe
ten million things, so decided to
skip it.)
At the forum on Vietnam last
week, I heard complaints from
our faculty here at Maryville
about President Johnson's ad-
ministrative policy — keeping us
in the dark, not telling us why
we're in Vietnam, etc. Well, may
I be the first in writing to wage
such a complaint against this
administrative policy for the
same reasons. I welcome a valid
answer to my question "why"
from anyone who knows.

ably well maintained through
those rapid heated exchanges.
Facial expressions and body
movements were, for the most
part, subtle and quite ap-
propriate, being used in extremes
only when the climax of emotion
called for them. Perhaps the only
conspicuous fault was the forced
shouting of some of the char-
acters which produced an unreal
harshness on certain occasions.
As i have said already, however,
the cast acted most admirably as
a whole, producing a feeling of
unity difficult to attain.
Production factors excellent
Acclamation goes also to the
Production Staff for excellent
work on make-up, costumes, and
set construction (especially with
reference to the intricacy and
speed with which the scene
changes were made). Lights and
sound, maneuvered with pinpoint
accuracy, also greatly enhanced
the over-all impression. As a
theme song, the beautiful "Shen-
andoah" provided a contrast to
the dismal atmosphere.
For the supervision and co-
ordination of all these features,
the final word of appreciation
must go to the directors, Mr.
Tones and Miss Shaklee.
To each and every one in-
volved in the production of
Mourning Becomes Elektra — a
job well done.

Teacher
Examinations
Announced
College seniors preparing to
teach school may take the Na-
tional Teacher Examinations on
any of the four different test
dates announced today by Edu-
cational Testing Service.
New dates set for the testing
of prospective teachers are: De-
cember 11, 1965; and March 19,
July 16, and October 8, 1966.
The tests will be given at nearly
500 locations throughout the
United States, ETS said.
Results of the National Teacher
Examinations are used by many
large school districts as one of
several factors in the selection of
new teachers and by several
states for certification or licens-
ing of teachers. Some colleges
also require all seniors preparing
to teach to take the examinations.
On each lull day of testing,
prospective teachers may take the
Common Examinations, which
measure the professional and
general preparation of teachers,
and one of 13 Teaching Area
Examinations (formerly called
Optional Examinations) which
measure mastery of the subject
they expect to teach.
Prospective teachers should
contact the school systems in
which they seek employment, or
their colleges, for specific ad-
vice on which examinations to
^ake and on which dates they
should be taken.
A Bulletin of Information con-
taining a list of test centers, and
information about the examina-
tions, as well as a registration
form, may be obtained from col-
lege placement officers, school
personnel departments, or direct-
ly from National Teacher Exami-
nations, Box 911, Educational

The second distinguished
speaker of the 1965-66 lecture
series, on November 19, was
Ferenc Nagy, former prime
minister of Hungary during the
bitter years of the Communist
take-over there in 1945-46. Since
that time, he has been an exile
in Europe and America, and has
lectured widely on Eastern Eur-
opean politics.
Cold War began in Europe
Mr. Nagy traced for his listen-
ers a careful history and inter-
prf»tation of events in Eastern
Europe since 1945. He began by
explaining that the Cold War be-
gan in Eastern Europe, and its
outcome could well be decided
there. He delineated methods of
Soviet take-over in the present
satellite nations using his own
experiences in Hungary as prime
examples.
Cultural exchanges can nelp
Mr. Nagy's lecture dealt with
the gradual deStalinization of the
Communist bloc and the im-
portant consequences this has lor
the West and especially the
United States. This liberalization
process plus the Sino-Soviet split
has caused Eastern Europe to
reassert itself. Cultural exchanges
by the West, according to Mr.
Nagy, can help the Iron Curtain
countries broaden their sense of
independence and national free-
dom even though it may mean
that exile leaders like himself
may never return to their native
lands.
U. S. must win in Vietnam
Concerning Vietnam, he stated
that the United States must hold
the tide there and reach a rea-
sonable, stable peace. He stated
that the future of Eastern Europe
depends a great deal on Ameri
can success. Following an Ameri-
can end to the war, Mr. Nagy
said. Eastern Europe can resume
its gradual course to national
freedom. If the United States
fails in Vietnam, the whole com-
munist world will be forced to
join in large scale expansion in
Southeast Asia, ruining contact
between the East and the West
and possibly precipitating a third
global war. Mr. Nagy also feels
an American peace will cause
Soviet Russia to move closer to
the West rather than toward her
historical enemy, China.
Solutions suggested
Mr. Nagy drew some tentative
solutions to the problem of
Eastern Europe despite the many
complications. He described how
Eastern Europe could be a buffer
zone that would protect both
Russia and the Western World
and still allow the member states
to have a measure of freedom.
This, however, depends on the
willingness of the United States
after the Vietnamese War to work
for a permanent peace. Eastern
Europe will be right for the move
if we are willing to take the
responsibility.

On Sunday December 12,
1965, a 250-voice chorus will pre-
sent Handel's Messiah in the
Samuel Tyndale Wilson Chapel
at 3:00 p.m. The chorus will be
under the direction of Dr. Harry
H. Harter, Chairman of the De-
partment of Fine Arts. Ac-
companying the chorus will be a
50-piece symphonic orchestra.
12 soloists chosen
The Messiah is performed each
year after only nine regularly
scheduled rehearsals held on
Monday evenings with an ad-
ditional dress rehearsal. Several
rehearsals have now been held,
and the soloists have been chosen.
The soloists for this year are
Sandra Boatman, James Brecken-
ridge, Patricia Clendenen ,Frede-
rick Doscher, Lynn Duke, Joseph
Henry, Ibbie Ann Jack, Thomas
Llewellyn, Margaret Miller, Mary
Rucker, Lewright Sikes, and
Sarah Tompkins.
Faculty' members to participate
This will be Dr. Barter's
eighteenth year directing the
Messiah chorus. Playing the or-
gan will be Dr. James A. Bloy
and at the harpsicord, Mrs. Sallie
W. Schoen. Two new members
of the faculty will also be parti-
cipating in this year's presenta-
tion: Mr. Robert J. Bonham will
be a pianist, and Mr. Robert W.
McKaskell will be concertmaster.
The Messiah chorus is made up
of the 65-voice College Choir,
which forms the nucleus for the
chorus each year, the Women's
Choir, the Men's Glee Club, mem-
bers of the student body and the
faculty, and singers from the
community and surrounding
area.
Written over 200 years ago
The Messiah is an oratorio
written by George Friderik Han-
del consisting of Biblical passages
set to music. The oratorio is in
three parts: Part One tells the
prophecy and fulfillment of the
Nativity; Part Two depicts the
Passion and Resurrection of the
Christ; Part Three anticipates the
Resurrection of all mankind to the
glory of God. The Messiah was
first performed in Dublin, Ire-
land, in 1742 by Handel himself
with a chorus of twenty-six sing-
ers and an orchestra of thirty-
five. Ever since the time of Han-
del the Messiah has gained in

Christmas
Readings to
be in Lantern
Lhristmas readings will be
given this year in the Lantern on
Sunday evening, December 12.
As in the past, there will be the
informal reading of appropriate
stories and tales by faculty mem-
bers and students, as well as a
performance of the Carol Singers,
composed of choir members. The
room will be decorated the night
preceding with a Hanging of the
Greens — enjoyable in itself. And
this year, the warmth of the Lan-
tern will add an extra measure
of the Christmas spirit to the
hearts of those who listen.

Sallie Warth Schoen, pianist,
presented the first facuhy recital
of the semester last Friday night,
November 26. With a new Mason
& Hamlin at her fingertips, she
performed on a higher plane of
excellence than audiences here
have experienced for years.
Listeners amazed
Her program opened with the
cheerful, spinning sound of
•Mozart, the "Variations in D
Major on a theme by Duport."
Second was the € Minor sonata,
opus in of Beethoven. The
strength as well as the sensitivity
in the interpretation of this work
were consistently maintained
throughout, and the way in
which Mrs. Schoen played the
unusual jazzy rhythm employed
in the second movement made
Beethoven really swing. Her
listeners were both amazed and
excited by this composition. After
intermission the "Capriccio in
Bb Major," by Bach brought us
into the solid contrapuntal sound
o( the 18th century — also well-
pi'rformed.
Standing ovation given
The last work on the program,
the "Symphonic Etudes," by
Schumann, was the most difficult
of any she played and by far the
most exciting. Each variation
being different requires sudden
changes in approach and inten-
sity. Perhaps a shade of doubt,
or an instant of panic caused her
control to weaken, but the last
few measures slipped from her
command. Showing no signs of
emotion, she valiantly exited the
stage and returned with the same
poise and confidence of her very
first appearance. With that and
the audience in her grasp, she
encored with a Chopin prelude.
The standing ovation given her
then spoke for the success of the
performance.
Mrs. Schoerj has always set a
precedent not only to her own
students, but all music students
for stage presence as well as
musicianship. Her performance
Friday was the perfect example
of grace and poise. The sound
she created was more than beauti-
ful; it was alive and moving, and
thrilling.
There are many petty things with which an editorial can con-
cern itself, and we have chosen perhaps the pettiest of them all for
this week: PINK SLIPS.
We know nothing about the historical background of the prac-
tice, but the procedure is this. When a girl student wishes to go out in
a car driven by a man (horrors!), she is required to get the afore-
mentioned pink slip, giving her permission to enter the car. Without
said slip she cannot legally accompany the man — unless he is her
father or a faculty member. (A problem arises when the faculty
member is also a date, but we shan't go into that.)
This seems like a relatively harmless requirement. It is, how-
ever, not only harmless but utterly ridiculous. In the first place,
dorm assistants (fellow students) are often the only ones present to
sign the pink slip. Permission given by peers has always seemed
unnecessary. But this is nothing compared to the really stupid part
of it all: A girl signs on the slip where she is going, with whom,
and when she will return, and then she takes the slip with her. And
for what reason? Surely she doesn't need to be reminded that she
is on her way to the movies or that her date's name is Bill. Because
she is in possession of the pink slip, those at the dorm often have not
the vaguest idea of her whereabouts, although they may check her
sign-out card — if she has put all the vital information on this card
as well.
And then to carry things still further, we have heard of those
town students who were seen driving their parents' car and were
asked if they had car permission. One girl we know refused to run
an errand for her mother because the housemother had not given
permission. To go to the grocery store by herself?
It seems mighty silly to be senior women from September to
May, required to ask permission for riding in a car, and then in
June to be "people of the world" — married, teachers, graduate
students, etc. That's a pretty sharp transition, isn't it?

"Why," said the freshman, "should this

"We were afraid you might go to New

"Well, I didn't go home," snarled the senior,
I just overslept, like a fool."
"That's really too bad; I think it's so sad —
See you in summer school."
The freshman wept; the senior cursed;
The campus was filled with chagrin.
This is how Maryville College
Develops its five-year men.
"Oh, but we care; we're concerned —
Don't think your deal is raw
'Cause your graduation was delayed
By a silly little law."
"Then you can change it," cried the student.
"Ain't it folly through and through?"
"Hrumph, what's good enough for my grandfather
Is good enough for you."

The Highland Echo, December 4, 1965-3
"The Student in Higher
Education"
WASHINGTON. D. C.
CONFERENCE — OCTOBER, 1965
{Ed's note: At a recent con-
ference on Higher Education,
attended by President Copeland
and Dean Fuhr, the following
remarks were made in the section
on Higher Education and the
Moral Revolution. These excerpts
are printed here with comments
from administration and student.
We welcome further conflicting
views.)
Moral revolution
"(We) have emerged trom a
culture which often identified
morality with moral codes.
But it seldom occured to us to
question the manuals ... I sub
mit that the moral revolution we
are witnessing on our campuses
today is, indeed, calling the codes
into question. I am obviously
vulnerable to the charge that
skepticism may be totally or
largely irresponsible, that human
beings always have and always
will use rationalization to cover
their own license and weakness.
(But) our challenge at this
moment in time is to accept the
skepticism, to encourage it, to
nourish it, even to share in it.
Only if a man is allowed to frame
his own question can he be really
responsible for his own answer
. . . Only persons who are respon-
sible skeptics and responsible de-
cision-makers can effect sudh a
break-through. We are part of
one culture involved in produc-
ing another: part of a culture
of two world wars trying to pro-
duce world peace, part of a
racist, segregated society trying
to produce integration, part of
a ruggedly individualistic capi-
talism trying to produce personal
responsibility and social concern,
part of a moralistic religious
society trying to allow the moral-
ity of empathy and compassion."
— ^Jacqueline Grennan,
President, Webster College
Is present morality better or worse?
Commenting on specific stu-
dent problems, a psychiatrist at
the conference said: "Psycholo-
gically the late adolescent is not
prepared for adult sexuality. The
average college undergraduate by
his nature prefers an emotional
and a physical relationship with
the opposite sex which is intimate
and private but not one which
includes intercourse. (He de-
sires) an emotional fusion or
identification rather than a phy-
sical one. Delaying sexual grati-
fication until marriage does not
cause a degree of frustration
liable to lead to psychological
damage nor can sexual experi-
mentation before marriage be
correlated with greater sexual
compatibility after marriage. Col-
lege students today appear tc
have developed a new kind of
sexual morality based upon fidel-
ity rather than chastity . . . Many
students experiment only once
with drugs such as marijuana or
mescaline, simply on a dare; but
those who routinely ingest such
substances usually fall into a
categoiy best described as the

inadequate personality. They feel
less than whole. Drugs provide a
temporary respite from this feel
ing or relative ineffectiveness,
Most of them do not prove them-
selves adequate by doing any-
thing remarkable when under the
influence of a drug, but they feel
as if they could. Rarely does (ad-
diction) occur in college, but
each case of this kind is a truly
tragic one ... It is hard to say
whether insurrections have be-
come more violent because the
civil rights movement has given
to civil disobedience some degree
of honor which it never had
before or because the students
have more justifiable causes for
complaint. A willingness to dis-
cuss matters of policy with stu-
dents, combined with the reser-
vation of the right to make, hold
to, and enforce the ultimate de-
cision regardless of student agree-
ment with it is usually the wisest
administrative policy . . . These
are the most intelligent and the
healthiest group of college stu-
dents there have ever been. They
want to forge their own moral
values. It is too early to tell
whether the present morality is
)etter or worse. It is up to the
young to prove its worth."
—Graham B. Blaine, jr.,
Psychiatrist, Harvard University
social morality and the civil right's
struggle
(In) the
late lybO's a new morality began
to assert itself. The civil rights
struggle burst upon the horizon
of the college student like the
glorious sun of a great new day.
He was confronted with a moral
issue in which he believed it was
clearly possible to know without
hesitation what was right and
what was wrong. All the preten-
tions and compromises of the
previous generations were rudely
thrust aside. He had a Cause, and
his morality derived from in-

voivement in that cause. Not to be
involved was immoral ... At the
same time, a profound change
had come over personal morality.
In matters of sex, of the use of
alcohol, or academic honesty, the
new generation not merely re-
jected all former patterns.
Where the 1920's based a talse
feeling of well-being pn false
values and false enjoyments, the
1960's bases its standards on
equally false dis-values and equal-
ly erroneous sources of displea-
sure, to achieve an equally false
feeling of iU-being. The 1960's
would thus .^ppear to have pro-
duced a student generation in
which social morality is dictated
by the necessities of the civil
rights struggle, while personal
morality is what is left after
restraints and inhibitions have
been swept away."

President, City College

COMMENTS
Tom Fuhr, Dean of Students
"I note that one of the com-
mentators is optimistic about our
current student generation, one
is somewhat pessimistic, and one
sets a conspicuous challenge. I
am interested that Sister Jac-
queline Grennan^ a Roman
Catholic, suggests that we 'call
the codes into question.' By this,
she does not mean to flaunt the
established moral patterns, if I
understand her correctly, but to
evaluate them with a high degree
of personal responsibility. Dr.
Gallagher, who takes the histor-
ian's approach cautions us that
distinguishing between right and
wrong proves continuingly dif-
ficult, and that uninhibited per-
sonal conduct does not necessar-
ily promote well-being. The com-
ments by the psychiatrist are
helpful and to the point, and they
make clear that a man who deals
so much with the seriously dis-
turbed personality has excellent
counsel for those of us who grap-
ple wifh the more common ten-
sions of campus life.''
by Dale Schelienger
Student volatility is age ol4;
the sexual revolution has a 35
year history behind its present
form. Yet we are as concerned
today with student revolt as we
ever have been. Some, as the
analysts above, sedt the moral
basis for such dissatisfaction.
Others, myself included, credit
the student with less ability to
think, tracing part of the unrest
to the state of ignorance in which
the student is kept concerning
the affairs of his institutions be
it educational or social.
Student vaauely diKentented
Dissatisfaction with adult
standards is common only to the
minority capable of analysis and
thought. This group runs the
usual range from reckless acti-
vists to sober thinkers — the ex-
treme "itivif'is unfortunately re-
ceiving tti^- oulk of national pub-
licity and concern. These last
to me, have failed to think
through their protests, regardless
of validity. But beyond the
minority lies the 'majority stu-
dent,' apathetic, unwilling to
think, vaguely discontented —
with a stimulating, probing
education, this could change.
Student discontent anatysad.
Speaking from this campus, I
would say the only hope the stu-
dent revolt can offer the future —
or the present — lies in the ac-
ceptance of the horrible respon-
sibility to question and revalue all
values. This will, of course,
further disturb* adult status quo
and understanding. But this is
the value of Sister Grennan's
challeneje and analysis. Gallagher
appears to misread the whole stu-
dent unrest, failing to grasp cen-
tral issues, overemphasizing frin-
ge areas. Blaine provides a
framework within which the stu-
dent discontent can be analyzed,
also suggesting a perceptive, wise
administrative response.
The nature of the student re-
volt is not yet characterized —
we can only strive for the best.

Kappa Phi Wins SmhShm/U^
Stinkin'ShoeGame
As a climax to the intramural
football season, the members of
Kappa Phi defeated Alpha Sigma
35-28 on Honaker Field. The Sig
team dominated the first half as
they rolled to a 21-7 halftime
lead. The second half saw a deter-
mined Phi team take the field
and score four touchdowns to
Sig's one.
The strong factor of Phi's
second half comeback was the
accurate passing of quarterback
Lynn Howard. Howard's favorite
target was right end Rich Mar-
shall. The varsity tennis teams'
No. 1 doubles team, Howard and
Marshall, combined their talents
to score three touchdowns on
passes uf 55, 43, and 40 yards,
with another being stopped on
the two yard line by an outstand-
ing defensive play by John Ag-
new.
Other touchdowns were scored
for Phi by center Dave Hutchi-
son and left end Jim Stiano.
Outstanding for the Alpha
Sigma team was the passing and
running of quarterback Dick
Craig and the pass receiving of
Daryl Stoker.
The winning touchdown was
scored with less than 90 seconds
showing on the scoreboard clock;
The margin of victory was a 40
yard pass launched by the arm of
Lynn Howard into the waiting
arms of Rich Marshall who was
standing all alone on the five
yard line of Alpha Sigma. Mar-
shall then ran the remaining
distance for the tally.
However, more excitement was
to come as the Sig team returned
the kickoff to the 30 yard line
of Phi, only to lose the ball on
downs to a stubborn Phi defense.

popularity. Today it is Handel's
most famous work and is pre-
sented annually throughout our
land, from which multitudes re-
ceive inspiration and spiritual
perception.
MC performances since 1933
The Messiah has had a long
tradition at Maryville College.
This year marks the thirty-third
annual presentation here at the
College. The Messiah was first
presented in December 1933, with
a chorus of 100 singers accom-
panied by a single piano. Since
that first performance there have
been many significant modifica-
tions including the use of a full
orchestra with harpsicord, a pipe
organ, student soloists, and an
increase in the size of the chorus.
Performances were held in the
Elizabeth R. Voorhees Chapel
until 1947 when the Chapel was
destroyed by fire. For the follow-
ing seven years performances
were held in the Alumni Gym-
nasium. This year's presentation
will be the twelfth to be held in
t h e Samuel Tyndale Wilson
Chapel.

The volleyball All-Star game
will be played December 14 at
7:00 p.m. in the Alumni Gym-
nasium. Each of the four team
captains from the societies will
submit the top six girls from her
society, and the teams will be
made up from these lists. This
game will be open to all students
ind faculty.
Women's "M" Club will be
sponsoring a dessert party on. De-
cember 13th at 6:45 p.m. Their

With 3MS Tie Scots DroD Bowl Tilt
Alpha Sigma's Sledgehammers
and the Knights of Kappa Phi
battled to a 38-38 tie to end this
year's regular intramural flag
ball play, .\lthough the game
ended in a tie, it gave the league
championship to the ever-power-
ful Sledgehammers. Sig's team
effort was sparked by the fine
play of Darrell Stoker who scored
two touchdowns. Stoker, who
set up another tally on a quick
trip up the middle, amazed both
Knights and onlookers as he de-
monstrated his quick moves and
hard running ability.
As usual, the big gun for the
Knights was quarterback Lynn
Howard as he proved once again
the fast striking potential of the
Knights.
With the closie of the official
season comes the annual "Stin-
kin' Shoe" game in which Sig
and Phi pit their cream of the
crop against each other to fight
for possession of the coveted shoe
(now in possession of Alpha Sig-
ma) . This year's contest promises
to be very close since each team
has beaten the other at least once
in the regular campaign.
The Maryville College Scots
finished a disappointing season
dejected but by no means
ishamed as they dropped the first
innual Honaker bowl tilt to
Earlham College 26-17. The ScqIs
made their most impressive show-
ing of the year in the gala
Turkey Day contest.
Quarterback Herman Ramsey,
named Maryville's most valuable
player, put the Scots ahead 7-0
on a one yard plunge after a
long drive. Sonny "Gogolac"
Hughes kicked the point after
touchdown. Maryville scored
twice in the second quarter, once
on a 22-yard field goal by Son-
ny Hughes and again on a 12
yard pass from Ramsey to tight
end Sonny Webb. Hughes booted
the PAT. A blocked punt by
Steve Hutsell set up the touch-
down.
Maryville led 17-14 at inter-
mission, but a fired-up Earlham
eleven took the field and quickly
scored to put 6 more on the score-
board. Earlham scored again in
the final period to round out
the total.
On the ground, Earlham rolled
up 238 yards to Maryville's 91,
and in the air, the visitors also
led, 132 yards to 30 for the
Scots. First downs were 19 for
Earlham and 6 for Maryville.
The game was much more hard
fought than the statistics show.
The Scots could not generate a
serious offensive in the second
half, which accounts for the one-
sided figures.
In post-game ceremonies, tro-
phies were presented to each
school and their coaches. In-
dividual^ trophies were presented
to each member of both squads.
Finally you realize that it's better
to* be rejected than to reject — at
least you're feeling something.

The Highland Echo, December 4, 1965-5
Double-Header Slated Tonight for Openers
Roundballers Entertain Railsplitters
Led by senior captain Denny McGowan, the 1965-66 Scottj
basketball squad has finished their pre-season competition with home
and away scrimmages with both Tennessee Wesleyan and Knoxville
College.
The injury-hampered roundballers made outstanding showings
in these scrimmages, most notably in the second Knoxville encounter,
played here at Maryville. Down by 17 points with only a few
minutes to go, the cagers fought back brilliantly, only to fall three
points short as the clock ran out, halting action at 64-61. Injuries
have played an important part in the practices so far. Senior Mike
Dalton and junior Dan Mitchell have both suffered wrist injuries,
and freshman Lynn Raby was operated on recently for a knee injury
that he had incurred earlier. All three are hoping to return some-
time around the beginning of second semester, and will be of great
help to the thinned ranks of the team.

Matmen Play Host
to ATSC Squad
Last Saturday the Maryville
College wrestling team began its
season at Milligan, with six re-
turning lettermen leading the
squad. Milligan, with only two
lettermen, relied on freshmen
heavily, much to the premature
delight of Coach J. A. Davis'
grapplers. The Scot matmen
learned 23 — 16 never to under-
estimate freshmen, as a lack of
experienced upper-weight wrest-
lers led to defeat.
Milligan completely rebuilt its
team around newcomers drafted
from wrestling schools in the
North. As expected, the Scot
lower weights won their matches
in hard fought bouts, but the
pins registered by Milligan in
the upper weights proved the
margin of victory in a meet that
could have gone either way
until the final match.

John Henderson, who last year
finished third in the South-
eastern Conference, led the Scots

Team captain R. A. Johnson,
moving up a class after winning
the SEC title at a lower weight
last year, defeated Bowers 8—3
in the 145-pound contest. George
Patton was decisioned at 152 by
Dennis King. In the 160-pound
class, Bob Nicholas and Bruce
Bittenbender battled to a 2-2
draw.
Dick Stevenson, weighing only
155, filled in at 167 and was
pinned in 4:15 in the match,
George Snitzer, a freshman, was
also pinned. One bright spot in
the upper weights was Dan Gil-
mor's 5-2 win in the 191 -pound
class.
Pat O'Brian, Scot footballer,
had only two days preparation
for the meet and was pinned with
20 seconds left in the first period.
The Milligan match proved the
dependability of the team in
general, despite the drawback of
the unusually long football sea-
son, which prevented football
players from getting into shape
for the match. A cosdy injury
occurred in the final period of
the 145-pound match as Ralph
Johnson broke two fingers man-
handling his opponent. Coach
Davis feels that Roy Reis can
fill the vacancy. Johnson is ex-
pected to be out of action about
two weeks.

lege after the basketball game

6~The Highland Echo, December 4. 1965
Vietnam Forum Review Given by Participants
{Ed's note: Although the Viet-
nam Forum was held several
weeks ago, it has been thought
ecessary to include in this issue
four of the views expressed by
panelists participating in that
forum. We hope t!:at this may
clarify some of the misunder-
standing resulting from our dis-
cussion.)
Moderator fiives Opinions
by John Mulhellaiid
Opening with the presentation
of the Circle K-sponsored peti-
tion to be sent to President
Johnson supporting our govern-
ment's stand in Vietnam, the
Highland Echo — organized Viet
nam Week was a great success.
About 450 to 500 students and
facuhy signed their names to the
petition, and quite a number oi
paperback books were gathered
to be sent to the soldiers in Viet-
nam. It is a challenge to all other
organizations and groups on
campus to develop similar types
of programs concerning problems
of prime interest in our world
today and topics that a com-
munity of scholars need always
to be discussing.
Though our intentions may be
grossly misinterpreted (as they
were reported in the Knoxville
Journal — we thank the Journal
for their front page article of
apology), we can never avoid
controversy, for we must always
preserve that priceless commod-
ity called "academic freedom" in
maintaining a college community
in open-minded dialogue.
Each one who attended the
forum gleaned something new,
realizing the points that make
each stand on Vietnam strong or
weak. I could never suggest that
we remove to the "coastal cities"
to be blasted to death, or that we
remove ourselves from our mili-
tary obligation in Vietnam. Yet
we should never allow our only
stand in Southeast Asia to be
military. The United States must
work hard to push the Mekong
River Delta project, the Southeast
Asia Bank, education of these
peoples, instruction in new
methods of production, health
projects, etc.
The United States has a re-
sponsibility to take a strong stand
in this area, as Dr. Nagy, exiled
Prime Minister of Hungary and
recent speaker at our Lecture
Series, informed us. His main
point concerning Vietnam was
that victory there and halt of
Communism in Southeast Asia
would mean relaxation of pre-
sent Communistic holds on coun-
tries in Central and Eastern
Europe.
Let us learn from this ex-
perience that we must never
avoid involvement, that we should
do and contribute what we can,
and most of all that we be con-
cprned.
Exchange of Views Valuable
by Bill Erwin
The forum just held on Viet-
nam was certainly a step in the
right direction for our campus.
That we have remained isolated
from world affairs and that we
have shown little concern for the
problems of our day is a fact
that should have been remedied
long ago. I believe that the
method of presentation was adeq-
quate and the three introductions
were concise and to the point.
The discussion rambled a great
deal too much until it no longer
seemed to consider the question
at hand. If nothing else, we learn-
ed from the forum that there is
more than one side to the ques-
tion, that popular opinion does
not necessarily mean the correct
opinion. Somehow that in itself
is a victory.
Communication Needed
by Dr. David Young
In my opinion the debate was
worthwhile and provocative. In
the context of that discussion, I
would briefly frame my position
as follows: war in Vietnam h
not the final answer, but at this
moment we must be involved in
it in order to check the agressive
tide of Communism in South
Asia. The ultimate answer, it
seems to me, does lies in com-
munication and the conference
table. However, I chose to make
the value judgment that this type
of "grass roots" agressive Com-
munism is causing people to be
subjected to an intolerable situa-
tion (else why would so many
leave North Vietnam — or
Cuba). Therefore I feel the
United States must take a force-
ful stand for self-determination
in this area until we can open
the path to the conference table.
The tide must be stemmed some-
where, and it will not be stem-
med by withdrawing to the
coastal cities.
It is, admittedly, still a strange
puzzle that a stable government
cannot be raised in South Viet-
nam — perhaps this is an in-
dication of our interference —
or perhaps of the inability of
those people to see the value of
self-determination which we as a
nation cherish. To me the ques-
tion is not how is our display
of military strength causing per-
manent damage to our Asian or
world image but what would hap-
pen if we pull away from this
confrontation? We must con-
standy seek to open communica-
tion, but we must at the same
time be willing to stand up and
defend our way of life and sense
of human dignity (imperfect as
it is in our land).
Peace Should be Sought
by Dr. Phillip Griftm
It was good to have the pre-
sentation and questioning of
views which the forum on Viet-
nam policy afforded. The thing
to keep in mind is the need for
constructive and workable alter-
natives to a policy which has
failed to help our friends or hurt
our enemies in any significant
measure. To suppose that more
of the same policy will not rather
hurt our friends and help our
enemies is somewhat unreason-
able. I believe that the world can
hope for something better from
America than the all-out destruc-
tion of an already prostrate na-
tion. Whatever else is intended
by the present policy, this final
destruction of Vietnam seems the
only likely outcome of this course
of action.
There are proposals already
available which are worthy of
consideration. But the administra-
tion does not seem to be willing
to discuss them seriously. This is
the point that disturbs me most.
While I do not believe that our
leaders are evil or bloodthirsty
men, I cannot help but think that
they are following a line of think-
ing that is alien to the American
tradition and to our pledge to
seek peace with justice at all
costs. The future of America in
the world depends not upon our
out-killing the Communists, but
upon our out-living, out-working,
and out-caring all those who
would enslave men. Only an
alert, intelligent, and compassion-
ate generation of Americans can
Ho this.

Choir Tour Set Ainsworth Thesis Published
The Maryville College Choir
Tour is scheduled to visit various
cities of the Synod of the Mid-
South. At the present they have
commitments to sing in Chat-
tanooga, March 23; Leeds, Ala-
bama, March 25; and Birming-
ham, March 27.
Tenative engagements have
been made for other appearances
and a number of churches in the
Synod will set dates through pro-
posals sent out by the college.
These will be during the time of
Spring Vacation, March 18-29.
The Tour will aid in the secur-
ing of funds for Maryville Col-
lege and Tusculum College which
is a project now under way by
the Synod.
The doctoral thesis of A. D.
Ainsworth, Associate Professor
and Chairman of the Department
of Political Science, approved for
publication by the University of
Lausanne in Switzerland, has
now been published. It is entitled
'The Relations Between Church
and State in the City and Canton
of Geneva."
The book deals with the con-
stantly changing relationship be-
tween the religious and state
authorities from the mid-fourth
century, when Christianity came
to Geneva, until the present time.
It is of particular interest in the
English-speaking world since
Geneva was the birthplace of the
Reformed and Presbvter'an
Churches, which grew out of the
ministry of John Calvin in Gen
eva.
Two Gifts
Received
Christmastobe
December 25
by Sara ParkM
A few days before the holi-
days, on or around December 18,
Maryville students will join the
national shoppers' union in their
traditional plight before Christ-
mas. Preparations for the big day
will include bringing home the
baby tree from the local gas
station parking lot and sending
Yule cards which we will have
forgotten about back at the
dorms.
Some may spend their spare
moments typing (or, woe, writ-
ing) their independent studies,
only to end up in complete
frustration as the family begins
the ceremonies of hanging the
greens and roasting the turiceys.
There will be reminders to mend
the holes in our stockings and
to come home early from the high
school basketball game — so that
someone can unload the tree
ornaments (that have come to us
from several generations past)
from the top storeroom shelf.
When Father sits down to read
that "Marley was dead to begin
with," then mother will excuse
herself to go and stir the pudding
and Son will remember to call his
girl and Daughter will leave to
wrap a forgotten package. How-
ever, the star on the top of yon
tree will wink at old friends,
grown older since last year.
Two gifts were recently re
ceived by the college. One was
from the Eastman Kodak com-
pany of Rochester, New York
amounting to $7,400, and the
other by the Sears-Roebuck
Foundations for $1,000. Both
gifts may be used for any pur-
pose decidwd upon by the col-
lege.
WARNINGi
Th« Highland Echo staff, at a
public service, wishes to inform
all new students and remind all
old students that their dormitory
rooms will be searched during tho
Christmas holideyt. Please act ac-
cordingly.
History of Christmas Customs Described
Christmas is described in song
as the season to be merry. It's
also a season steeped with rich
traditions — some of which evol-
ved from customs practiced be-
fore the birth of Christ.
The use of greenery at Christ-
mas, for instance, grew out of
ancient Roman and Greek cus-
toms. Romans made lavish use
of green boughs and garlands to
honor Saturn, their god of agri-
culture. Greeks awarded laurel
wreaths to victorious athletes.
Monk began use of tree
Holly was a favorite Roman
decoration. The Druids of ancient
England thought it sacred. Mis-
tletoe was regarded as a charm
against evil in Greek mythology.
It was a symbol of hope and
peace to the Romans. The Druids
believed it had healing powers.
The Norse considered it to be
sacred and a symbol of love.
It was in heavily-forested
northern Europe that the Christ-
mas tree custom was begun by
it. Boniface, an eighth century
monk. He converted the pagans
living in what is now Germany,
and ended their human sacrifices
to Udin's sacred oak. He con-
vinced the people instead to
adorn lir trees in their homes
in tribute to the Christ Child.
Cards exchange since 1840
Exchanging Christmas cards is
a fairly recent custom. It began
in England in the 1840's — the
exact date is in dispute. The
first sender also is a source of
argument. At least four persons,
including a 16-year-old artist, are
credited with being first.
Christmas cards were intro-
duced in the U. S. by Louis
Prang, a German immigrant who
settled in Roxbury, Mass. Known
as the "father of the American
Christmas card," Prang printed
his first one in 1873. By 1881,
he was turning out five million
yule cards a year.
Creche popularised by
St. Francis of Assisi
The use of poinsettias as
Christmas decorations isn't old
as customs go. Dr. Joel Poinsett
of Charleston, S. C, after whom
the flower is named, introduced
the plant to the U. S; in 1828.
In Mexico and Central America,
where the flower apparently ori-
ginated, it was known as the
Slower of the Holy Night."
One of the roost revered
Christmas customs is the re-
enactment of Christ's birth with
a creche, or crib scene. Although
started several hundred years
earlier, the custom wasn't popu-
larized until the 13th century by
St. Francis of Assisi.
At that time, there were few
books available and most people
couldn't read anyway. To give
an understanding portrayal of
Christmas, St. Francis dramatized
the Nativity in 1224 at Greccio,
Italy.
Villagers took the parts of
Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds.
Live animals were used. A life-
sized wax figure of the Christ
Child was placed in the manger.
The living creche attracted large
crowds from nearby and distant
areas.
And, as the pilgrims stood
about admiring the scene, St.
Francis led them in joyous songs
written in the vernacular. Thus
was born another great and popu-
lar custom — Christmas carol-
ing.
2-The Highland Echo, December IR. 1965
EIDITCI^IAL CIJTLCer
In past years we have become very disgusted with those students
who constantly griped about administrative policies and their re-
sults. Our usual reply was that anyone who doesn't like it here can
transfer; that it is not up to us to determine what is right or wrong;
that "they" can do what they wish to us. Maybe it's senioritis, but
we feel differently now.
Several controversial issues have been presented from the
student point of vitiw in the pages of this newspaper. There have
been complaints about inconsistency in chapel requirements, 1^
hours for vacation cuts, and pink slips. Each article has made its
point without hedging, but to no avail.
We do not ask for an immediate condescension to all student
whims and fancies; to do so would be pretty childish. HOWEVER,
there seems to be some value in that over-worked term communica-
tion.
There is much talk about the Maryville College family, student-
faculty relationships, etc. At this time, though, it is litde more than
talk. Our own family experience has been one of two-way discussion
and sharing of ideas, a sharing that should be projected to the MC
family way of life as well.
It is a frustrating and futile feeling to think that what we sa>
is completely ignored by those to whom the comments are directed.
We think sometimes that we're important only because we pay the
bills and attend classes. But we LIVE here too. We can't go home
at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to another world; our entire life is
involved with the college.
Most of us are here because we want to be, and we love it. Es-
pecially durf-ng the Christmas season are we conscious of the value
of a small Christian college, as we participate in the "Messiah,"
listen to the chimes from the town church, see the dogwood decorated
with colored lights, and hear the language classes haltingly sing the
familiar carols in French and German. But we have to make some
changes too — or at least talk about it.
MARYVILLE - 600-500 B.C.
A certain timid old man had a dream in which his only son,
who was strong and loved to hunt, was killed by a lion. Fearing
that this dream would come true, he built a very beautiful room
onto his house where he kept and guarded his son. For the boy's
delight he painted all the kinds of animals on the wall including the
lion. Seeing these, the son became sadder. Standing near the lion,
he said, "0 most evil wild beast, I am imprisoned in this room
because of you and because of the false dream of my father." He
then attacked the wall with his hands, wishing to blind the lion. He
wounded his fingers with splinters, and a fever fell upon him. Not
much later, he died. Thus the lion killed the son — and all the
cunning of the father was to no avail.

The First
Christmas
A star
Over a stable,
Sending its light
O'er the earth;
A host of angds
Singing
And praising the God
Who has sent a child —
His son —
Into the world,
Singing a welcome
And a reassurance
To shepherds,
To wise men,
To passers-by;
Inside,
A mother
With a newborn babe
Cradled in a hay-filled manger,
The radiance of God
Surrounding his tiny frame;
This is the tenderness —
With its joys and blessings —
Of a special beginning —
The first Christmas.
— Martha Edington

Christmas vacation finds the
Maryville College freshmen re-
turning home for the holiday
season. For many of us the holi-
day vacation is our first visit
home since we joined the "col-
lege set." Many have been eager-
ly awaiting the arrival of De-
cember 18th since September
13th,
Even though our eagerness has
often been the source of harass-
ment from upperclassmen, we
suspect that our superiors are
just as anxious to return home as
we are. They just don't display
their eagerness by numbering
sheets of toilet paper and tear-
ing one off for each completed
day, marking off the days on a
calendar, or even resorting to the
strategy of two freshmen boys
who count the number of vita-
mins to be consumed until Christ-
mas vacation.
We anticipate the joys of sleep-
ing 'til noon, staying out past
ten-thirty, riding in cars (with-
out a pink slip), seeing friends,
being untraditional, and playing
"college Joe." Yet, we wonder
if our hometown friends have
changed. We secretly fear that
everything won't be the same.
We dread the endless courteous
questions, "How is college? Dt
you like it at . . . What is the
name of that school you're going
to? Qh, yes, Maravul!" to which
we are expected to reply, "Oh,
I just LOVE it at Maryville!''
which becomes disgusting even
if we do like it.
We will be expected to rant
and rave about the wonderfully
exciting college life. Exciting? ? ?
We will certainly appreciate the
conveniences of home, such as
bathtubs, homecooked meals, mat-
tresses that don't sag, and morn-
ings without the "Anvil Chorus'*
played by a distraught radiator.
We wonder though if we will feel
like strangers in our own homes
when we realize that our families
and old high schools are operat-
ing successfully without us. We
may even be relieved to return
to the ecstasy of eight o'clock
chapels, classes, and social life
at dear old Maryville College, in
order to escape the torture of
rest, relaxation, and peaceful
hearts.
We don't have fairies anymore — the friars have taken ovei . .
A right taut domestic situation . . . There's always a bunch like that
— you know where Dante put those people . . . Anderson bell tower
— a bird? ... I'm just waiting for one of those concrete beams to
catch on fire . . . What are you majoring in anyway — funda-
mentalism? ... He won all eight sack lunches . . . Coke in cans?
. . .It would take more than Moses to get the cut svstem changed . . .
In Autumn, Rain
In autumn, rain prickles down, quietly, stealthily,
shrouding the earth in a bittersweet aura of emotion-
emotion that shimmers like a mirage on the desert,
emotion that intensifies and blares into bright color
among the center branches of a garnet tree.
emotion that calms and fades into grey mist around
the outer branches of that same garnet tree.
In autumn, rain is not a wetness; it is a dampness that
saturates the air completely as heartache or happiness
saturates man-
man whose heart aches with emptiness,
man whose mind despairs withe every failure,
man whose body tingles with the pain of seldom
known happiness.
In autumn, rain is the emotion of men and the emotion
of nature-
nature that bathes hell and heaven in the same stream,
nature that chills body and electrifies spirit,
nature that sends the wind to play a jazz concert
«mong misty treetops.
Wishes you a
Very Merry & Healthy Christmas
Dear God,
If only once I could

Scots Elect Webb and LMU Skunks
Story firid Captains
At a meeting of the football
team Tuesday, December 14, jun-
ior stalwarts Don Story and Son-
ny Webb were eltKJted co-captains
of the 1966 Maryville College
football squad. Story, who played
his high school ball at Walland,
is a 6'1", 190 pound cefiter and
linebacker. He suffered a severe
knee injury in the Homecoming
game with Guilford and missed
the latter part of this year's cam-
paign, but is expected to be in
top condition following an opera-
tion this spring. Webb, a 6'0",
185 pound end from Bristol,
played both offense and defense
lor the Scots this season.
The members of the squad are
working out on their own during
the off-season while meeting
twice a week for team recreation
and conditioning this month.
Coach Tomlinson will have the
team in shape for spring practice
in February. This is the first
time in many years a Maryville
football team has donned their
pads in the spring. According
to the tentative schedule, this
year's practice will be climaxed
by an intrasquad scrimmage.
Maryville's new co-captains
are hard-working, talented, popu-
lar ballplayers who will be relied
on heavily to lead the Scots back
up the ladder to the top of small
college football next year.

Scots Succumb to Berry
for Third Straight Loss
The Scots dropped their third
straight game Monday night as
the fans saw Berry College puU
away in the second half to win
by 19 points ^8-49.
The first half was close all
the way to the buzzer. At the end
of the first quarter the score
stood at 16-16. At the end of the
half the score was 27-23 in favor
of Berry. Berry came back an
inspired five as the Scots cooled
down too much during the inter-
mission. At the end of the third
quarter the Scots were still in
fighting distance, down by only
8 points.
The gap slowly widened until
it reached a maximum of 20
points with 2 minutes left.
Dave Alexander was the high
scorer for the Scots, hitting 6
field goals and 2 free throws
for a total of 14 points. Les Dun-
son was next with 10 and Darrell
Maietta followed with 9. Benny
Brynner was the high-point man
of the evening, sinking 11 field
goals and 5 free throws for 27
points for the winning Berry
team. Jim Hinton was second for
Berry with 12 points, Benny Don-
ahue had 11.

Scots 90-67
Saturday evening December 4,
the Maryville Scots dropped
their home opener, 90-67, to Lin-
coln Memorial University.
Alexander Leads Scots
The LMU Railsplitters, led by
Senior guard Jessie Herrel (24)
and Freshman center Jim Tilley
(15), piled up a 36-26 half-time
advantage. Dave Alexander (21)
and Les Dunson (12) led the
scoring for the Scots.
MC Starters Foul Out
With Maryville's whole starting
team out on fouls, LMU put the
game on ice in the closing min
utes of play. Foul shots proved
a decisive factor as LMU picked
up 46 points at the charity strip.
McGowen Missed
The Scots visibly missed Cap-
tain Denny McGowen through-
out the game. McGowen sustain-
ed a knee injury in the season's
opener last week and is not ex-
pected to play until after the
holidays.
Maryville 0-2
The Scots are now 0-2 on the
season. The team plays Berry Col-
lege at home Monday night.

69-65. Down four points at half
time, Bryan staged an impressive
comeback, in spite of a decided
height disadvantage.
At times, the Scots looked very
impressive in executing their free-
lance offense, but they could not
muster a sustained effort. Bryan,
on the other hand, managed to
play a consistent, if not funda-
mentally sound, game.^
Even more disasterous than the
psychological effect of losing the
opener, was the loss of captain
Denny McGowan, who was in-
jured early in the second half.
McGowan sustained a knee in-
jury which required surgery and
will keep him out of the lineup
until after the Christmas break.

Matmen Lose
to ASTC
The Wrestling team, meeting
its most formidable opponent of
the season, Appalachian State,
only managed to score team
points in two individual matches
as the Scots went down to defeat
in their second meet.
Ron Pritts was a bright spot
for Maryville as he grappled to
a 5-2 decision over his opponent,
in the 130 lb. class. Bob Nicho-
las scored the remaining points
as he wrestled to his second tie of
the season in a match that wound
up in a stalemate 2-2. The re-

captain Denny McGowan, as they
dropped their fifth straight game
in an exciting contest with West
Georgia College 61-57. Sopho-
more guard Don Payne led the
Scots attack with 22 points in the
scorebook.
After trailing 36-29 at half-
time, Maryville pulled to within
one point of the victors on three
occasions. Freshman center Les

Scot cause. Steadily improving in

Grappler's Loss
Last Saturday's match was
highlighted when Ron Pritts
pinned his opponent in the sec-
ond period to set the Scots ahead
of Eastern Kentucky 10-0 after
the first two bouts. Kentucky,
however came right back and
defeated the Scots in overall
points 29-9*.
While the wrestling team is
•presently plagued with injuries
during the roughest part of their

John Henderson's man missed
weight (123 lbs.) but John wrest-
led him with the weight advant-
age and defeated him by a score
of 6-3. Dependable as ever Ron
Pritts, pinned his man for the
remaining team points as a high-
light in the match for the Scots
It should also be mentioned ir
this article that the penalizing
of the Maryville team and ex-
pelling of a team member was
a misinterpretation of the rules
on part of the referee, and that
the embarrassment of that wrest-
ler could have been avoided if

Jobs Open for Archaeology Digs
Here is a novel and exacting
way to spend next summer in
Europe! Last summer students
from 36 colleges in 21 states ex-
cercised mind and muscle, mostly
to their immense satisfaction, on
archaeology "digs" in England.
The offer still goes for 1966
You may help to reveal the sec-
rets of a Roman villa, an iron-
age hill fort or the structure of
a medieval town or Anglo-Saxon
cathedral before they disappear,
perhaps for ever. Expanding
housing programs, city center re-
development and new highway
projects in Britain to-day have
opened up many new possibilities
for archaeological investigation.
You may help in this im-
portant work, earn credits, make
international friends and receive
valuable training in archaeology,
by jommg a program sponsored
by the Association for Cultural
Exchange, the British non-profit
organization.
Volunteers first join a three-
week seminar for training in
British archaeology and excava-
tion techniques at Westminster
College, Oxford. They then split
up into small groups for three or
more weeks "digging" on an ar-
chaeological site. Total cost of the
program is 675 dollars, includ-
ing round-trip air transportation
from New York. Part scholar-
ships are available to suitable
students with a "B" plus average.

Christmas
Around
The
World
Skiing down a mountain with
a lighted torch in your hand . . .
strewing hay on the floor of
your home . . . knocking on
neighbors' doors in a symbolic
pilgrimage — these are some of
the ways 'you might find your-
self celebrating Christmas in
other parts of the world.
In token of Christ's birth in
a mahger, Poles spread hay on
the floor and Lithuanians have
straw under the tablecloth at their
festive Christmas Eve meal. The
colorful Mexican posada or pil-
grimage dram.itizes the search
which led Mary ajid Joseph to
the stable. For each of the nine
nights before Christmas, a couple
dressed as Mary and Joseph goes
from house to house. Only at the
last house are they — and the
parade of neighbors which is now
following them — invited in for
supper.
Singing as they go
An even more novel procession
may be seen in the mountains of
Austria. Wood carvers in the
little town of Oberammergau
meet on Christmas Eve and ski
down the mountain slopes with
flaming torches in their hands,
sinking as they go!
The preftiesi— 'Lucia
Just about every oouniry which
celebrates Christmas has its uni-
que bit of seasonal folklore or
ritual. In Sweden, it's the feast
of St. Lucia on December 13,
ushering in the Christmas season.
Each community chooses a love-
ly Lucia Queen to represent the
young girl martyred for her re-
ligion centuries before in ancient
Rome. In families with daugh-
ters, the prettiest plays the role
of Lucia. Her "privilege": to
wait on everyone else for the
day!
Befana ate delinquents
But even the standard holiday
features — Christmas dinner,
Christmas presents and Yuletide
decorations — have picturesque
local variations. Not only does
Santa have numerous aliases
(he's Julenissen in Denmark,
Pere Noel in France, the Abbot
of Unreason in Scotland), but in
Italy he is a she. Italian kids
place their trust in Befana, an
old woman on a broomstick who
brings gifts to good children and
ashes to bad ones. (In older ver-
sions of the legend, she ate the
juvenile delinquents) .
Americans are probably the
champion gift-givers, spending
more than $27 billion for Christ-
mas presents in a recent year!
December 26 — Boxing Day
But the bearded gent — and
his counterparts in other coun-
tries — are kept busy in many
lands, they must make two trips
a season. The French exchange
gifts on New Year's Day, but
the impatient young fry are
visited by Pere Noel on Christ-
mas Eve. While waiting for
Befana to come across on Janu-
ary 6, Italian kids and their eld-
ers draw small gifts on Christmas
Eve from a jar called "the urn
of fate." And leave it to the
systematic British to establish
December 26 as Boxing Day. On
this pugilistic-sounding occasion,
servants and tradespeople are re-
membered with boxes of money!
The date of the big Christmas
dinner also varies around the
world; many countries have it on
Christmas Eve, before or after
midnight services. Our traditional
Christmas turkey does not ap-
pear on many menus. The French
reveillon, a feast which occurs
after midnight mass, is apt to
feature oysters and sausages; in
the French province of Brittany,
buckwheat cakes with sour cream
are served. The Norwegian
called lutfisk. At a Polish Christ-

tat well on CJiristmas Eve
During the Christmas season,
Germans and Rumanians bake
long, thin cakes that symbolize
the Christ Child wrapped in
swaddling clothes. In the Ukrain-
ian part of Russia, cattle are
given the first taste of the Christ-
mas supper, because animals were
the first to behold Christ. In
parts of rural Germany, this is
carried one step further — cattle
and their owners both fast the
day before Christmas, and eat
well on Christmas Eve!
Oranges instead of tinsel
"Deck the halls with boughs
of holly" is a traditional refrain
in English and American homes,
but in Spain and Italy, house-
holders decorate with flowers in-
stead of evergreens at Christmas
time. The Christmas tree, popular
throughout the United States and
Northern Europe, is relatively
rare in Southern Europe; the
creche, or manger scene, usually
replaces it. In Sicily, many fam-
ilies use Christmas trees, but
they decorate them with apples
and oranges instead of tinsel!
This carries out an old tradition
that all the trees bore fruit when
Christ was born.
In England and France, the
Yule log is favored; in some
districts of Bjigland, whole fam-
ilies go to the forest to select their
Yule log. Pear, olive and apple-
wood are considered best, and
tradition says that the log must
be large enough to last until New
Year's Day.
Perhaps the most unusual
Christmas tradition of all is the
one still adhered to by some
Swiss romantics. These folk ad-
vise a boy or girl to visit nine
different fountains and take three
sips from each at the time the
bells are ringing for midnight
services on Christmas Eve. After
this odd rite has been completed,
the future! husband or wife will be
found standing at the door of the
church and a regular courtship
vill begin — if the spell has
/orked.
Us, we'll take mistletoe.

by Dr. Esther C. Swenson
What is a teacher? The ans-
wers to this question are as varied
and numerous as are the persons
who answer to the tide "Teach-
er." Even so, it would probably
be generally agreed upon that one
who teaches ought to have a high
degree of competence in his sub-
ject matter, an ever-expanding
grasp of its internal movement
and external relations, and an
ever renewed attempt to purify
the processes of communication.
Notwithstanding these excellent
requirements one can still ask
if there, is not more to being a
teacher than this, and one pos-
sible way of trying to discover
whether or not this is so is to
look at two men who have been
given a revered place in history
as "teachers." The first of these
is Socrates; the second is Jesus
of Nazareth.
Jesus committed to teachinff
Granting that is is difficult to
discover in any pure form that
which constitutes Socrates as a
teacher, one can still point to
certain characteristics which are
discoverable in the Platonized
Socrates. The first of these is:
Commitment to that which is
greater than any mere earthly
being. Socrates was a spirit-filled
man; he himself referred to his
"demon," the godly voice which
He heard at the oracle and to
which he owed obedience. There
is no evidence that Socrates wan-
dered in the market-place, chat-
ting here and arguing there, be-
cause he wanted to, nor even
because he had the talent of such
activity. He did not embark upon
his "career" because it would
bring him status or respect, nor
because he couldn't think of any-
thing else to do. Socrates was a
teacher because a god had spoken
to him and called him, not to
leaching-in-general but to a very
specific task of human encount-
er. In like manner, Jesus of
Nazareth entered upon his voca-
tion of teaching, healing, and
preaching because of his commit-
ment to that which was greater
than he, in this instance, God the
Father of Abraham and David.
It was not that he "wanted" to.

Some time ago our own Mr.
Robert Ramger, well-known bio-
logy teacher, was asked by the
Echo to submit an arf'.cle de-
scribing his research conducted
at Vassar College during the sum-
mers of 1963 and 1964. Know-
ing Mr. Ramger and his busy
schedule, though, we decided it
would be easier for him and more
fun for us to take pen in hand
and corner him for an interview.
This we did with what, we think,
are some interesting and amusing
results.
Ufi. realty?
Needless to say, our first ques-
tion was, "Just what did you
study at Vassar?"
"Radiation effects on pro-
tozoa," from Mr. Ramger was
followed by a small "oh," from
us, which caused him to wonder
if perhaps he had missed out on
some sort of opportunity.
DNA duplication
Actually, Mr. Ramger and an-
other M. C. grad. Dr. Donald
Williams, who teaches at Vassar,
associates through the Atomic
Energy Commission, studied the
effect ultraviolet radiation has on
Spathidium, a type of protozoa
most sensitive to radiation. In
studying the life cycle and DNA
synthesis in Spathidium, they
found that the protozoa was not
sensitive to radiation when its
genes were duplicating. From
months of all types of experi-
ments on the DNA synthesis in
this type of protozoa, there was
found to be a close correlation
between sensitivity to U. V.
by Jean Micheals and Martha Edinoton
radiation and the duplication of
DNA in a cell
She spoiled h4r. Ramger
"Can you tell us anything else
you did during the weeks of re-
search in 1964?" we wanted to
know.
"Well, 1 lived with Miss Conk-
lin for two months," Mr. Ramger
confidentially replied.
"You what?'' we gasped, in-
tensely alert, pens poised, ready
for anything.
What we weren't quite ready
for (although knowing Mr. Ram-
ger, we should have been) was
that Miss Conklin was a 68 year-
old retired professor of phy-
siology who had rented a room
of her house to Mr. Ramger while
he carried on his research at
Vassar. Miss Conklin was ap
parently also the motherly type,
for she rather shamefully spoiled
Mr. Ramger by pampering him
for two months.
I had to get it myself
"Each morning when she'd
hear me get up, she started
breakfast, and by the time I came
downstairs, she always had my
orange juice. and the New York
Times beside my plate. I ate
lunch at the lab, but nights when
I came back, she'd ask if I want-
ed supper first or if I wanted to
nap ... I guess s^he spoiled me,
because when I came home and
told my wife to have my orange
juice and a copy of the Knoxville
Journal beside my plate, she told
me to get it myself." (sigh).

1 964 at Vassar, Mr. Ramger went
on to the University of Minnosota
where he spent a year in classes
at a teacher's institute sponsored
by the National Science Institute.
Here he studied radiation gene-
tics more extensively.
When asked to comment on big
university versus small college
life, he said that, of course, it
depends on the individual, but
that for him, he was glad he had
done his undergraduate work at
Maryville, and that at a univer-
sity of about 30,000 students he
just couldn't see taking his |jfe
in his hands every time the bell
rang.
A Hurt Too Deep
For Tears
A hurt too deep for tears —
It makes your head pound,
Your whole body throb with
An aching, lonely desperation.
If you could just cry —
Perhaps then the tears could wash
away
This feeling . . .
But you can't cry;
No matter how miserable you are.
No matter how much you want
to,
No matter how hard you try —
You just can't cry.
And so, you're trapped —
Trapped by your own foolbh-
ness,
Your own pride and vanity;
Caught between reason on one
hand
And feelings on the other.
You wish that you had never
Heard of him —
Yet, at the same time,
You want him back again.
Reason tells you that
You don't like his type —
But you're confused and
Saddened, because —
Something else, somewhere deep
inside.
Tells you that you do.

"Then let's be on our way to

reaching for the controls.
There was a screech of air,
and a large jet engine exploded
into life. The monstrous time
machine began to move slowly
through the upper atmosphere,
westward toward Bethlehem. The
blond man glanced briefly
through the rear porthole at the
roaring flame of the jet's after-
burner but then turned his at-
tention forward again.
The two men flew on, eagerly
anticipating a glimpse oT the
Saviour of the World; they flew
on, gazing at the approaching
horizon and failing to notice, on
the ground behind them, three
men on camels diligently follow-
ing the radiant glow of their
afterburner.

nor for status, prestige, money,
or other motivation. He simply
announced and hoped that all
would understand: "Know ye
not that I must be about ray
Father's business."
Socrates paralleled with Christ
A second characteristic held
in common by these two great
teachers is the refusal to give
direct and dogmatic answers and
pronouncements. In Socrates this
is demonstrated by his "irony,"
the essence of which is that he
knows only one thing, namely,
that he does not know. He does
not represent himself as a fount
of all wisdom and knowledge;
he confronts his fellow-men as
one who does not know, who does
not have answers, who cannot
dispense wisdom. He does not
"pronounce," since the only thing
of which he is sure is that he
does not know. The same kind of
refusal is discovered in Jesus of
Nazareth's mode of teaching in
that he speaks in parables, in
figures, in ways that made one
of his witnesses, Mark, refer over
and over again to the failure of
the disciples to understand. He
responded to questions with
questions or with stories rather
than with direct answer.
Both the ironic Socrates and
the "indirect" Jesus reveal an-
other trait essential to their teach-
ing. Neither ever let certain cry-
stallized beliefs stand in the way
of his encountering each real
human being in his humanness,
his nakedness, his hiddenness and
his revealedness. Each thrust
through all that might stand be-
tween himself and his "students"
in order that he might involve
himself in the very personness
of the one he faced. Depth was
to speak to depth, spirit to spirit,
person to person or there was no
teaching, no matter what intel-
lectualized statements might be
being uttered and formed.
Man called to be himself
A consequence of Socratic
irony and of Jesus' "indirect ap-
proach" is that of the teacher
acting as a midwife. Socrates
openly referred to himself in
this way. Instead of telling man
the truth, Socrates tried to bring
into birth in the one with whom
he was involved a spirit of search-
ing and inquiry. Out of such a
living moment, each man might
move toward becoming the truth
rather than latching on to it in
second-hand fashion. "Know thy-
self is the only Socratic impera-
tive as a teacher, and one can
understand this as "Become thy-
self." Jesus also worked as a mid-
wife. There is every indication
that he accepted, in his teaching,
that which Paul later expresses
so clearly in the first chapter
of Romans, namely, that man as
a creature knows all that is neces-
sary for him to know . . . that
no man is indeed God the Lord.
And so, as a midwife, by stories
and figures of speech, he expect-
ed each one to come and see for
himself that he was indeed a
creature of God. Jesus called each
man to become this himself.
Union between student Cf faculty
It would appear to me that a
teacher must certainly be one
who is the best in his or her re-
spective field. The church college
above all others must seek best.
Not to do so would be to give
the lie to the faith of the church
that the scriptures witness that
in Jesus Christ the full life of
the mind in the service of neigh-
bor is declared by God to be
good. But it would also appear
to me that for those of us whose
roots are in the joining of a
Greek heritage with a Christian
heritage that a teacher must be
one who has these further
characteristic to his person as a
teacher: committment to that
which is greater than any created
being, irony and the refusal to
dispense answers, the art of draw-
ing a person into his own life of
search for truth and reality,
and refusal to permit any beliefs
or any intellectual language to
stand as a bamer between him
and those he encounters. There is
not to be an unbridgeable gap
between teacher and student, not
is there to be amalgamation.
There is to be the union of com-
munion;
Teaching is the way of faith
But all this reveals one further
characteristic of the teacher,
namely, vulnerability. With this
we do not mean inadequacy or
weakness. We mean the respon-
sibility which comes with com-
mittment, irony, midwifery, com-
munion. Socrates, the teacher, ex-
posed himself to the full wrath
of those who cannot tolerate the
uneasy, ever-moving freedom of
searching, seeking inquiry, and
the right of each man to come to
his own truth. The charge was
the corruption of morals; the
judgment was the hemlock. Jesus
Dr. Bloy Leads Music Seminar
On Thursday night, December
3, a group of students and faculty
assembled in Room 104 of the
Fine Arts Center. The occasion
— the first Seminar on Twentieth
Century Music, sponsored by i'au
Kappa Chi, the honorary music
society of iVlaryville College.
The seminar, led by Dr. Bloy,
was entitled ""Contemporary
Trends in Liturgical Music." Dr.
Bloy was in top form as he pre-
sented the discussion, and shortly
the students around the table be-
gan to relax and enjoy the even-

of Nazareth opened himself to
the full wrath of those who can-
not tolerate the moving living
into truth. The charge was im-
morality, the breaking of the
law; and the judgment was the
cross. To try to enter into teach-
ing as Socrates and Jesus of
Nazareth did is to open oneself
to risk, it is to walk through the
door into the room of vulnerabil-
ity. The charge is always im-
morality and the judgment is
always some form of death. Is it
not in this way that the way of
teaching is also the way of faith?
(By way of footnote, lest my
critics charge to impale me for
what I have not said rather than
entering into what I have tried
to say, my putting together of
Socrates and Jesus of Nazareth
as teachers says, as yet, nothing
to detract from the Christian af-
firm — that in Christ God was
reconciling the world to himself.)
exam
Music is a true art
To begin with, Dr. Bloy de-
fined his use of the term "litur-
gical" music as that which was
composed specifically for use in
the church, rather than perform-
ance in concert. In judging what
is "good" church music, one may
refer to a papal encyclical of
Pope Pius X, written in 1903,
which has been of primary in-
fluence in the twentieth century.
The Pope directed that music in
the church should clothe the lit-
urgical tAct — not overpower it.
Not only should music have a
functional part of the services,
but it must also be a true art,
sung or played (but not on piano
or drums ! ) to the glory of God.
Field open for composers
Selections of contemporary li-
turgical music were discussed ac-
cording to these and other terms,
but it was decided that possibly
in the final analysis, there are
certain qualities in good church
music that one can only sense
without theoretical explanation.
At any rate, in this period of
transition in church music, the
field is wide open for new com-
posers, and there all kinds of
texts just "lying around waiting
to be used."

Campaign Goal Set at $3,000
The Crossroads- r erozepore
Project (the Fred Hope Cam-
paign for 1966) has been set
for February 1 through March
10. Part of the funds raised
through the project will be used
to help send at least two Mary-
ville students on a work-study
seminar this coming summer
under Crossroads Africa; part
will also be used in the work of
the Frances Newton Hospital in
Ferozepore, India. This strategic
hospital has recently been in-
volved in the Kashmir crisis, and
is directed by Dr. Dorothy Fer-
ris, a Maryville alumna.
In order to realize the cam-
paign goal of $3,000 (two times
that collected last year), all or-
ganizations and societies are
urged to sponsor projects for
this purpose — and individuals
in the college community are
especially urged to become
familiar with the project and
to contribute to this goal.

tend its sympathy to the family of
Mr. Lonnie Dotson on the death
of their son in Vietnam. Mr. Dotson

Once again this year we are being approached to give money to the
Fred Hope Fund. Always before we've been turned off by the very
name. But now, for some reason, it suddenly seems like a good op-
portunity to give to a worthwhile project. Every student seems
financially able to spend hundreds of dollars a year on cokes,
cigarettes, pizza, and the like. Yet when a thing comes up like this
Fund, we think that we are being imposed upon if asked to con-
tribute something. And the goal of S3000 will never be met if onlv

It was
fascination
by Beth Mahler
On Friday evening, January
28, Dr. James A. Bloy, organist,
presented the second faculty re-
cital of the year. The program,
consisting entirely of the music
of Johann Sebastian Bach, was
surprisingly varied. The Con-
certo No. 2 in A Minor was a
fascinating opening piece. Dr.
Bloy's technical facility and his
feeling for the spirit of Bach was
evident here. The chorales, no
less difficult, represent the deep-
ly religious aspect of Bach's
woric, and were full of symbolism
not obvious to one unfamiliar
with the Baroque style of music.
Recognizing this. Dr. Bloy sought
to bridge the gap by explaining
the chorales and some of the
musical motives. The Dorian Tjoc-
cata was perhaps the most strik-
ing number of the evening and
the most familiar, judging from
the response of the audience. The
Pastorale was yet another phase
of Bach's style — his lyrical and '"
almost romantic melodies against
a simple, yet subtle accompani-
ment. To this reviewer, however,
the crowning point of the re-
cital was the final number, the
Prelude and Fugue in C Major.
Not having been previously ac-
quainted with the work, I was
struck by the rugged power in
this composition, and the spirit
and feeling with which it was
performed captivated one from
beginning to end. The enthusias-
tic response of the sizable audi-
ence testified to the success of
the program and performance.

{APS) Eve started it all with a few fig leaves. Then prehistoric man
went one step further and, whether out of modesty or simply to keep
warm, fashioned garments from animal skins. When he discovered
that two layers were wanner than one, the history of underwear
began. From that time to today, the story of underwear is filled with
little-known and interesting fashions and facts.
chemise to describe a shirt worn
by men or a long smock worn by
women.
The garments worn by the
Norman knights were embroider-
ed around the neck and wrists
A women's chemise was basically
the same as a man's except that
it was ankle length and full. The
collar and cuffs of the chemise
were usually visible outside the
other garments and so were often
elaborately embroidered, some-
times with gold thread if a man
could afford it.
Queen refuses clergyman
The most common materials
used during the 1 1 th through the
1 3th Centuries were linen, hemp
and silk textiles. In order to
The Highland Echo, February 5, 1966-3
boost the lace industry, the rulers
of Venice passed an edict in
1542, which forbade the use of
gold and colored silks in em-
broidery on undergarments
among other clothing items. So
collars and cuffs were soon trim-
med in lace.
And in Elizabethan England,
it was ruled that no man below
the rank of knight could wear
pleated shirts with silk, gold or
silver threads.
But while many of Queen
Elizabeth's subjects may have
been fretting over this new law,
one William Lee, a clergyman,
was busy working on an inven-
tion which would someday help
to revolutionize the undergar-
ment industry. In 1589, Lee in-
vented the first knittting ma-
chine; however, the queen re-
fused him a patent, because she
feared it would put too many
people, who knitted by hand, out
of work.
13 -inch waste in underwear
Can you imagine, for instance,
wearing wooden underwear?
Probably not, but it was everyday
attire for fashionable women of
the 16th Century when Catherine
de Medici decreed a 13-inch
waist for the ladies of the French
court.
The only way women of the
time could achieve the desired
wasp-waisted effect was to wear
stiff wooden stays. And some
even went so far as to wear un-
dergarments made of iron!

Great strides taken in un<ler%vear
The underwear industry as we
know it, today in the United
States, actually had its start three
centuries later during the Civil
War, when underclothes for the
armies had to be produced in
large quantities. Builders of
power-driven, circular-knitting
machines had stepped up pro-
duction during the War to meet
increased demands. An abund-
ance of machinery to produce it
and a growing population to
clothe combined to give the knit
underwear industry the impetus
for the great strides of the past
century.
More people wearing underwear
than ever before
A popular undergarment of
the 19th Century — the union
suit — is often erroneously as-
sociated with the Civil War. Ac-
tually, the name has no patriotic
connection but instead refers to
the fact that the suit is a one-
piece, or 'united' garment. Shirt
and short type underwear was
popularized during W.W. I and,
by 1918, was generally accepted
throughout the country.
Knit underwear production
has increased many fold since
1860. The records for that year
show total production of 500,216
do';ens. Compare this with the
1964 production figures of
82,520,000 dozens. Since this
figure includes only knit cotton
and wool garments, the total
\vould be much greater if synthe-
tics were included.
Gemini put "fly" in undewear
What does the future hold in
store for underwear fashions? If
the present trend continues, un-
dergarments will be briefer in
style, but purchased in greater
quantity. The continuing dis-
covery of new fibers and fabrics
will also have an effect on ap-
pearance and style. Underwear
manufacturers have already en-
tered into what may become one
of tomorrow's major areas of
concern, — space underwear. The
Gemini space suit consists of five
layers, the first of which is a
white, cotton-knit undergarment
made to withstand constant wear.
With the advent of long-duration
flights, comfort and fit are more
important than ever. For earth-
l>ound man as well, comfort and
lit are likely to remain upper-
most considerations in the selec-
tion of undergarments.

Scots Fourth in Mat Tourney Grappiers Get
Year's First Win
Roundballers Remain Ranine
A highly talented Shorter College basketball team encountered
a surprising amount of opposition but still managed to handily de-
feat Maryville by a score of 79-53.
Utilizing a tenacious defense, Shorter jumped out in front in the
opening minutes, but the Scots came back to within a few points
on several occasions during the first half. The 15 point first half
adi antage was too much for the Scots to overcome.
Maietta Leads Scots
Earl Driggers led the winners with 19 points and all but two
Shorter roundballers put points on the score board. Darrell Maietta
tallied 13 for Maryville and Les Dunson added 12 to the losing
cause.

U.C's 137 pound contender in 4:46.
The Maryville College wrestling team, seriously hampered by an
incomplete squad, entered the Chattanooga Invitational Wrestling
Tournament held January 14 and 15 and emerged with fourth
place honors. Forfeits in the 177 pound class and the 191 pound
class set the Scot grappiers at a disadvantage from the outset. The
conflict between final exams and the weekend tournament deprived
Maryville of its 130 pounder, Ron Pritts, and the squad's freshman
members, which proved to be a definite handicap. The remaining
representation faired well.
In the first round of the tournament, held Friday night, the
Scots were pitted against the University of Chattanooga team. The
opening match of the evening proved advantageous to the Orange
and Garnet cause as Andy Ruhlin decisioned Sam Dunn 4-0 in the
115 pound class. Next John Henderson, completing in the 123 pound
slot, captured a point win over Allen Zeigler by a 6-2 margin. Tom

Lenten season begins with the
observance of Ash Wednesday.
In an effort to make Lent more
meaningful for the Christian
community at Maryville College,
the U.C.C.F. commission on wor-
ship is sponsoring an Ash Wed-
nesday service of prayer and
scripture in the Little Chapel at
9:30 P.M.
The order of worship is adapt-
ed from the Episcopalian Book
of Common Prayer and the Pres-
byterian Book of Common Wor-
ship. The service itself is largely
Maryville Band

The Maryville College High-
lander Band under the direction
of John A. Roberts presented a
concert in the Chapel February
12 at 8:15 p.m. Featured on the
program was Aaron Copeland's
"Lincoln Portrait" with narra-
tion by Harold Laster in obser-
vance of the birthday of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Other music on the program
included the Overture to "Italian
in Algiers" by Rossini, and the
playing of Clifton Williams' "The
Sinfonians" commemorating the
formation of a new chapter at
Maryville College of Phi Mu
Alpha Sinfomia.
penitential in character in keep-
ing with the emphasis of the
Lenten season. The richness of
the tradition of this service of
worship combined with the high
amount of congregational re-
sponse required should make this
worship experience a proper and
fitting beginning for the Chris-
tian observance of Lent here at
Maryville College.
Phi Mu Alpha
Installed Feb. 5
A chapter of the Phi Mu
Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity
was installed at Maryville Col-
lege in ceremonies at the Fine
Arts Center on Saturday, Febru-
ary 5. Fifteen Maryville College
students and three members of
the faculty were initiated into
the new chapter in ceremonies
conducted by the Theta Omicron
Chapter of the University of Ten-
nessee.
The Xi-Rho Chapter at Mary-
ville College prestnied a recital
during the ceremonies, and fol-
lowing the recital an informal
reception was held in the Lounge
of the Fine Arts Center. About
50 persons were present, includ-
ing the members of the new
chapter and guests.
The pledges were formally in-
ducted after the reception, which
was followed by a dinner at
which officers of the new or-
ganization were installed. The
officers are Hugh Livingston,
President; James Breckenridge,
Vice President; Thomas S. Dick-
son, Treasurer; Charles W.
Meeker, Jr., Secretary; William
J. Rumsey, Historian; Michael
A. Shaver, Warden; Victor R.
Schoen, Executive Alumni Sec-
retary; and Dr. Harry H. Harter,
Faculty Advisor.

Bright, Thomas S. Dickson,
Frederick C. Doscher, Joseph W.
Henry, Thomas M. Llewellyn,
Hugh S. McCampbell, John A.
Myers, David L. Seeley, Geoffrey
R. M. Skrinar, Dr. James A.
Bloy, Robert W. McKaskell, and
Lou S. Mize.
Members of other chapters of
Phi Mu Alpha who are already
at Maryville College are the Pre-
sident of the new chapter, Mr.
Livingston, Robert J. Bonham,
Dr. Harter, John A. Roberts, and
Mr. Schoen.
The fraternity will meet twice
a month, and is planning an ac-
tive program for the remainder
of the school year.

Saturday morning one week
ago, after our traditional stream
of announcements by Dean' Mc-
Clelland, Hugh McCampbell step-
ped to the podium. Something
new was in the air. Maryville
College broke tradition and set a
new precedent — communication
with the Student Body on matters
concerning the life of our col-
lege and planning for the pro-
gram here. Introducing President
Copeland and the Dean of Stu-
dents, Dr. Fuhr, Hugh said in
a few words the meaning of this
history making session: "In an
effort to initiate communication
between faculty and administra-
tion and student body, Dr. Cope-
land and Dr. Fuhr are here to
explain some developments at
Maryville."
Firm aided in plans
Dr. Copeland brought the stu-
dent body up to date as to the
many developments concerning
the discussion of changes in the
curriculum. First, he mentioned
the Board of Directors and their
involvement in studying the
academic life of Maryville. A
self-study directed by the South-
ern Association of Colleges Ac-
crediting Agency was sponsored
by the Board. Another study by
a private firm contributed to the
Board's study.
Other schools studied
Second, information concern-
ing the newly-constituted com-
mittee of the faculty, the Con-
sultative Committee, composed of
heads of various departments
and other faculty members, was
conveyied. While studying the
program at Maryville, the com-
mittee is also studying other col-
lege programs for new directions
toward an improved curriculum.
Heads consider curriculum
Third, mention was made of
the study given by the head of
each department as to what he or
she felt should be changed in the
curriculum within that dis-
cipline in line with what each

in all of these things and still be about our real business of academic
success. But the opportunity will be offered, and every student who
is really concerned about himself and his place in the twentieth
century has an obligation to get involved in some of this stuff —
enough so that he knows as never before that life is "really real"
and that it is good.
Kierkegaard said something once about the necessity for fmd-

it if it's right, without much thought to possible success or failure.

mend this openness, only to cry
out against that which would
hide anything under an un-

Second, we would commend
Dr. Swenson for her enlighten-

are becoming liabilities very

sities must take the lead. They
must produce men and wo-

of History and Philosophy

lem. The numbers who do

I don't have the right to make you anything.
But I -have the privilege and responsibility to know you, and
that requires the delicate operation of giving you things that I love.
If you accept, you are accepting pain — the hurt of being altered.
If my presentation is clumsy and repulsive it is no less than the
selfishness of giving so that I might claim you.
Please refuse me if I should ever suffer you to endure the pain
of a change — except that I might love you more — not for pleasing
me, but for being you — a value that I have only just begun to ap-
preciate, and an experience of which I am deserving only by the
grace of God.
Psalm 39
"Lord, let me know my end,
and what is the measure of my
days:
let me know how fleeting my
life is!
Behold thou hast made my days
a few handbreaths,
and my lifetime is as nothing in
thy sight.
Surely every man stands as a mere
breath!
Surely man goes about as a
shadow !
. . . man heaps up, and knows not
who will gather!
. . . Hear my prayer, 0 Lord,
For I am thy passing guest,
a sojourner, like all my fathers.
Look away from me, that I may
know gladness
before I depart and be no more!"

APPROACH
by Everett Dean Martin
"An educated person is not
merely one who can do some-
thing, whether it is giving a
lecture on the poetry of Horace,
running a train, trying a law-
suit, or rqwuring the plumbing.
He is also one who knows the
significance of what he does, and
he is one who cannot and will
not do certain things. He has ac-
quired a set of values. ... He
knows why he behaves as he
does. He has learned what to
prefer, for he has lived in the
presence of things that are pre-
ferable. . . He has learned e-
noifgh about human life on this
planet to see his behavior in the
light of a body of experience
and the relation of his actions to
situations as a Whole. . . .
". . . Education is the pursuit
of that which gives self-mastery
It is an interest which is nevei
exhausted, but grows always
broader and richer. It consists
not in learning- tricks but in
developing ourselves. It is a vic-
tory won in some secret chamber
of the mind which gradually
transforms the Whole personality
and reveals itself as an indefin-
able quality in every word and
act. It is a spiritual awakening;
and if this awakening does not
come, a person is not being edu-
cated however much he knows.
• • •
"Make education the aim and
meaning of living, and all be-
comes different. Experience has
a new center of gravity. Facts
fall into new and more signifi-
cant perspective. Objects, dis-
tinctions, relationships, qualities,
are seen which before passed un-
noticed. And as personality does
not exist in a vacuum but in the
relationships established between
organism and environment, no
improvement of it can fail to
make itself felt in the quality of
one's work. Animal learning may
give one the means to make a liv-
ing; Hberal education gives liv-
ing a meaning."

The world in which we are
noVv living is in a revolutionary
state. New countries are rapidly
emerging in Africa; college stu-
dents are leading revolts in Lat-
in America; mUlions are starv-
ing in Asia. What does the
American college student think
of all these events, or does he
think about them?
Sad as it may be, college stu-
dents in the United States seem
to know very little about what is
happening in the world. Neither
do tfiey seem to see any relation-
ship between their own lives and
the lives of Asians, Africans or
Latin Americans. But can the
American student, or for that
matter any student, ignore the
world any longer? The obvious
answer is no.
During the next four mondis
of school, there will be many
ways through which the atten-
tion of our campus will be di-
rected toward the outside world.
Book seminars, guest lecturers,
art shows, library displays, news
articles. Lantern specials, chapei
services will emphasize the an-
cient and the contemporary, the
timeless and the revolutionary of
Asia, Africa and Latin America.
On March 1, a seminar on
"Modem China" will center
around the discussion of the
current Chinese situation as
presented on one of the Asian
Studies tapes from our library.
These tapes have been recorded
by the leading scholars of oui
nation.
March 5 will be a very special
night in the Lantern with an en-
tire evening devoted to the Ori-
ental culture. A meal of Orient-
al food will be prepared by our
students from Thailand and will
be followed by a program of
dancing by two TTiai giris and
the presentation of Oriental
music.
Programs of this nature wiH
emphasize for us the worid and
what it means to us. PossiUy
during this period, our student
body will become unique on the
American scent in gaining an
awareness of the worid.

3) Try to meet people. A won-
derful old friend of mine,
once the mayor of a great
Western city, used to tell us
students to drift downtown
and sit on the curb with the
men who were loafing on the
street. He would say that this
is one place to get an educa-
tion. Read the books, study
and you can, and then just
loaf with the loafers on at
Saturday afternoon. Get to
know as well as you can as
many under priviledged peo-
ple— young and old — as you
can.
It is a startling discovery, but
' it seems to me that one must face
the fact that the United States of
America is in grave danger of
becoming the most static culture
in our world. We are trying
to stand still or even retreat into
the 19th Century. We do not
seem to rejoice in the fact that
we are living in a great revolu-
tionary period when all human
institutions must change or die.
The surest way to fail to count
in our world is to try to stand
still. That is what far too many
Americans are trying to do. We
can not stand still. We shall be
pushed aside and left wandering
alone not knowing the joy of
great creative change.
High school and college stu-
dents throughout the nation are
signing up for travel at half fare
on American Airlines.
The far-reaching new Ameri-
can Youth Plan, approved re-
cently by the Civil Aeronautics
Hoard, was to become effective
Jan. 27.
Key to nationwide, half-fare
travel for anyone from age 12 to
22 is the Youth Fare Identifica-
tion (^ard. The cards are avail-
able at $8 each from American's
ticket offices from coast to coast,
representatives on hundreds of
college campuses, some travel
agencies and from a special mail-
order center at the airline's New
York headquarters.
The nation's two largest hotel
chains — the Sheraton and the
Hilton— have announced they are
backing the plan and will give
card holders special rates and
privileges under a wide variety
of conditions.
Any holder of an identifica-
tion card can purchase, on a
standby basis, a ticket for travel
anywhere on American Airlines'
domestic system. Qualification
for the card is simple; any docu-
ment which offers legal proof of
age, and three dollars, are all
that's needed. The card may be
purchased by mail, and valida-
tion will be made at the Ameri-
can Airlines installation the card
holder uses to make his first trip.
Validation, of course, calls for
proof of age.
As part of the plan, American
Airlines is producing a 64-page
booklet, to be distributed free,
entitled "Co Go American,"
which explains the plan and per-.
haps equally important, gives the
card holder a look at the country
from the teenage point of view —
or, where the action is. In addi-
tion, the book has up to $200
worth of discount coupons for
amusement parks, restaurants,
etc., around the nation.
Marion Sadler, president of
American, in announcing Ameri-
can's drive for card sales, said:
"The (>AB's action, as we see it,
is confirmation of our own be-
lief that the young people of this
country are ready to travel by
air, if the price is right for them.
And that's what our Youth Plan
is all about: we want to get the
young people flying and we want
to make it easy for them. And
from our point of view, young
people converted to air travel are
our future customers."
Sadler pointed out that the
American Youth Plan also is a
direct contribution to President
Johnson's "Discover America''
program, offering 33,000,000
young Americans a chance to
see their country at the lowest
travel rates ever offered. At the
same time, the plan is available
to any foreign youngster between
12 and 22 and this, Sadler said,
could add heavily to the list of
overseas visitors this year.
The Youth Fare plan will not
be in effect on a few days of the
year when heavy passenger loads
will cut the availability of seats
for standbys. These would in-
clude, in 1966, April 7 (Thurs-
day l)efore Easter Sunday) ;
Nov.^3 and 27 (Wednesday be-
fore and Sunday after Thanks-
giving Day), and Dec. 15
through 21.

M.C. Developments
special interest in the applause
{^iven by the students for the
mention of the 3- or 4-day class
Cotit from p. 1. col. 5 week, while a single applause
considered the purpose of this issued forth from a faculty mem-
liberal arts and science college ^er for an 8-day week (thank
to be. you for convicting us, Dr.
Some noteworthy sidelights Young) . We noted the impetuous
should be mentioned. We took applause to the possibility of
100% Ph.D.'s in a faculty, yet
we caution against this and re-
mind those in authority that a
Ph.D. doesn't make a good pro-
fessor or a great scholar, and
it is for these qualities that the
students are calling.
One of the most important
things that Dr. Copeland had to
say concerning the trend of col-
lege education today is an in-
creased emphasis on the student
in his study and search for know-
ledge. Our own tradition in
Independent Study was mention-
ed proudly, but again we wish to
remind all before we get too com-
fortable that the really great col-
leges today are emphasizing in-
dependent study from the fresh-
area Mgh'scimor in Blount, man year on in every field, in
Knox, Monroe, Sevier, and Lou- addition to one's major.
Aid Given to
Blount Gountians
Recently Dr. Copeland has an-
nounced a new program of $100
scholarships to be awarded to
every high school graduate of
Blount County upon acceptance
at Maryville College. This op-
portunity is in addition to other
grants given to Blount Countians
through Kind Scholarships, four
year scholarships, and aid to the
children of teachers and minis-
ters.
Along with these scholarships,
the top-ranking senior in any
don Counties will be given an-
other chance for financial aid.
In this plan, scholarships amount-
ing to half of the tuition fee are
available for the freshman year
at Maryville College.
Also, the Higher Education
Act of 1965 makes possible
federal loans, grants, and other
assistance to Maryville College
students. Maryville's participa-
tion in this program will in-
crease the possibility of financial
help for more students.
Discipline explained
Dr. Fuhr followed Dr. Cope-
land, giving an excellent back-
ground for what has now become
the new discipline system here at
Maryville, having addressed him-
self to the Discipline Committee
that the Demerit System was out
of date here at Maryville, Dr.
Fuhr received a response from
this student-faculty committee
which drew up a proposal where-
by each student is dealt with in-
dividually as a mature college
student in discipline cases and

up once in a while or it ceases to .\ appropriate action De taken
be respectable. without the issuing of demerits.
Or. Hunter passed this on to the Fvecutive
Council and was approved for
implementation the second se-
mester, beginning January, 1966.
Dialofliue follows
Following these enlightening
monologues, an opportunity for
dialogue was made. Some of the
thoughtful remarks follow: "Will
the change in curriculum mean a
change in the core requirements
for a distinction between the
B.S. and B.A. degrees?
Dr. Copeland: "Possibly! We
don't know, for we are still work-
ing on that and other possibili-
ties. It is being considered."
"What is disciplinary proba-
tion?"
Dr. Fuhr: "Well, it could mean
suspension from social activities
and a letter home to the parents
telling of the warning to the stu-
dent, among others, I suppose."
"Are students to be told of im-
pending changes or will they de-
scend on us like a cloud?"
Dr. Copeland: "Students will be
informed as much as possible as
to new procedures, but some de-
cisions will come unsuspectingly
as they are in the province only
of the administration and the
Board of directors."
"Are the entrance and per-
formance requirements for both
students and faculty to be in-
creased in the future?"
Dr. Copeland answered with a
literary, suitable answer while
Dr. McClelland made the more
concise reply with an emphatic
shake of his head, indicatiner
"Yes!".
'Are incoming freshmen being
told of the upheaval going on
here at Maryville?"
Dr. Copeland, after questioning
whether "upheaval" was the ap-
propriate word to use he went
wevl Gro o\ie(K ^hoik'^ oc^^| ncaea/vHO if «€*5 evei^.
on to say:
"No college is worth its salt un-
less there is an upheaval going
on at all times concerning
academic matters."
What does this mean to all of
us who attend this institution of
higher learning and to those in
our midst who consider them-
selves to be students ? This means
that as communication continues,
as we hope it will, we have a
great responsibility to continue
dialogue worthy of a really great
academic institution. Instead of
griping about the food (all the
time), talking about the weather
(talk for bus drivers), wasting
our time (something to be done
in high school), releasing our
tensions and inhibitions (all the
time), we need to be pursuing
the real task before us — deter-
mining what it really means to
be a student in our world today
as we search for knowledge,
truth, and a vital living educa-
tion.

The third annual Alumni Tour
will visit Holland, West Ger-
many, Austria, Italy, France,
and England, stopping at Am-
sterdam, Cologne, Heidleberg,
Innsbruck, Venice, Florence,
Munich, Rome, Paris and Lon-
don. This 21 -day tour will de-
part on July 20 from New York
at 7:30 EDT. The tour will re-
turn August 10 at 4:15.
The price for the tour will be
between $848 to $898 depend-
ing upon the number in the
group. This includes first-class
twin bedroom, with bath, tourist-
class air fare on KLM, all break-
fasts and dinners, some lunches,
most tips and taxes and baggage
handling. The ground transporta-
tion will be furnished by Blue
Cars Ldt, with a full-time ex-
perienced Courier.
Air space and accommodations
have been reserved. All that is
needed to reserve a place is pay-
ment of a $100 deposit — checks
payable to Maryville College —
received before March 1, 1966.
However, depending on available
space, deposits will be accepted
after March 1. An immuniza-
tion card indicating a small-pox
vaccination and a passport are
also required.
The local agent for the tour is
AAA World Wide Travel Ser-
vice in Knoxville. After payment
of the deposit, this agency will
communicate directly with the
individual taking the tour.
New Law
Placement Service
College seniors who are plan-
ning to go on to law school no
longer have to guess which
schools would be best for them.
A unique new organization,
Law School Placement Service
(LSPS), will guide individual
students to the law schools mo»t
closely suited to their needs
through the use of modem com-
puters.
In its first year, LSPS has
earned the support of more than
90 of the nation's top law schools.
The program has also won the
endorsement of educators and
professional organizations alike.
Competition is increasingly
keen for admittance to law
school. The number of openings
in first-year classes has remained
fairly constant but the post-war
"baby-boom" and the American
desire for advanced education
are flooding admissions offices
with applications.
TTie participating law schools
will provide LSPS with data
about their entrance require-
ments, including the most fre-
quently-reported LSAT scores
and undergraduate averages in
the first-year class.
In addition to his scores, the
student will give LSPS his pre-
ferences as to financial restric-
tions and geographical location.
LSPS will scientifically guide
the student to appropriate
schools.
Application forms will be avail-
able from campus pre-legal ad-
visors by the end of January. Or
students may 'write directly to:

As a cornmunil) — academic, Christian, or whatever — we have just
been through what could well prove to be one of the most significant
weeks of the year. We have heard a man who spoke to us about
theology, relevant theology; a man who did not try to present
a "cool" image by descending to the so-called "student depths";
a man who was convincing in his argument that the love of God is
for all men; a man who told us that, through our love for others
and our reconciliation with them, we can become reconciled to this
God, if we so choose. And we have been confronted by other leaders
who challenged our questions, made us define our terms, and did
not pretend to answer the unanswerable.
But this significant time can die a quiet, apathetic death, and
it most certainly will, if we as a college — all of us in the same boat
together — do not continue to follow the example set for us so well
in the six days now past. We must carry on the Great Debate, with-
out outside stimulation; we must always question others as to their
basic premises. But, most vital of all, we must discover that we are
to challenge ourselves in order to find "what it is that moves us —
before we can move the world."

INTRASCHOOL COMMUNI-
CATION
From: Karen Keen, Room 316
To: Bel Kaufman, Room 304
Dear Miss Kaufman,
When I began Up the Down
Staircase, I wasn't at all sure I
was going to like it. I kept wait-
ing for you to proceed beyond
the memoranda, intraschool com-
munications, letters, and various
forms of communication used in
a New York high school to the
real meat of the book, the real
writing. Some three hours later,
I had finished the book without
finding any real v/riting; how-
ever, I had discovered there was
plenty of meat to be had any-
way.
The life of a school teacher is
not easy, especially in a big city
school system, but you, Miss
Kaufman, showed that at times
it is almost impossible. Your
heroine. Miss Silvia Barrett,
fresh from graduate school,
armed with Education 114 and
"The Psychology of the Adoles-
cent," overflowing with desire to
imbue young minds with a love
of literature, certainly proved
that.
Miss Barrett walked into Cal-
vin Coolidge High School and
smack into the reality of too few
desks, too few books, too few
classrooms, too many students,
too much paper work, profes-
sional jealousy, civic indif-
ference, under-achievers, apple-
polishers, class comedians, and
student suicides. Her first im-
pulse was to turn and walk right
back out, and I agreed complete-
ly, even when the rewards of the
job were considered.
There was the Puerto Rican
boy who gained self-confidence
by acting the part of a judge in
a classroom drama; there was
the sullen, homely, fat girl who
began to lose weight and take an
interest in living; there was the
get-well card from the super-slow
class; but most of all, there was
this feeling, this desire to awaken
even the meanest love for learn-
There used to be a dapple mare
that grazed there in the summer —
Browsed on grass and fine horse -thoughts
while the waking woods grew warmer.
And all about and 'round about
the forest days grew longer.
I passed through going home sometimes
and maybe she was there
And maybe not, but her sweet horse -grass
would stir in the laughing air.
And all about and 'round about,
the woods and the wind were there.
We liked to share a nod or two
— the dapple mare and I,
To stand in green and waving grass
beneath the white cloud sky,
And thank the gods of summertime
for the warm winds passing by.

No . . .
I cannot ask you wait . . .
There is a point where love asks too much . . .
Where eyes try too hard to see glow and warmth . . .
And other eyes are capable only of dry tears.
No need for the grief or the pain of longing now —
These belong to another story
already told —
Or p>erhaps to another play
yet to be performed
I cannot know why my name was not
Posted beside yours in the cast.
All I know
that I am not arrived yet —
here where you are.
Perhaps some late afternoon I shall arrive
And catch you unaware by the living room
Fire
And we will sit down in the twilight of
That room
In the lazy shawl of late-day mist about
The furniture
And talk of the trip so far
and the play.
Then again —
My arrival may well be too late . . .
There may be only the low glowing fire
And the empty couch to welcome me there.

The Maryville College Student
Government has just joined
SUSGA — the Southern Univer-
sities Student Government As-
sociation.
This organization aims at pro-
moting more effective student
governments, encouraging great-
er co-operation and idea ex-
change among member colleges
and universities in attempting to
share common problems. Mem-
bership includes colleges and uni-
versities throughout the south-
east.
SUSGA exists for service pur-
posed ; no attempt is made to re-
present or supervise member
schools.
An annual SUSGA conterence
is held as a student government
workshop. Speakers and panelists
stimulate discussion on campus
activities. Maryville College
hopes to send a delegation to
this year's conference in Jack-
sonville, Florida.
SUSGA maintains a student
government file to furnish in-
formation to members on request.
The SUSGAGRAM is published
periodically as an informative
newsletter.
An entertainment service
sometimes can arrange for an
artist to tour member schools at
reduced rates.

proud of its accomplishments in

My turtle just laid eggs!
But this department refuses to
rest upon the laurels of past
achievements and student honors
and will begin on March 4 a
series of lectures in natural his-
tory designed especially to enable
people to enjoy the outdoors and
to appreciate the art of conserva-
tion. Dr. A. Randolph Shields,
department chief, said the course
arose from public demand, a
public who calls to ask, "What
kind of flower is the white one
I found on the trail behind the
mill at Cades Cove?" and "My
turtle just laid eggs!??" He
hopes it will fulfill this indirect
expression of desire to learn
more about nature.
Field trips too
Originally planned as an in-
formal course for approximately
thirty people, the lectures will
now be given in several sections,
for ninety nature enthusiasts
have already signed up, includ-
ing high schoolers, retired busi-
ness and professional men, as
well as entire families. No age
limit is set, nor is there a charge
for the eight to ten lectures which
will be followed by Saturday-
field trips in late April and early
May.

Looking at the situation in a
school from the point of view of
a teacher rather than a student
was a shock. I doubt that many
people will be enticed into the
teaching profession by your
book. Miss Kaufman, but that's
all right. I don't believe that is
exactly what you had in mind
when you wrote it.

The Quest
Each student and faculty
member has a responsibility.
Slowly, ever so slowly, some of us
upperclassmen are being shocked
out of our doldrums or are
finally coming to realize our re-
sponsibility as students to chal-
lenge, question, and disagree
with our professors, seeking
Truth with an open mind and
never being satisfied with a half
truth. Professors, though, have
yet to learn their full capability
and responsibility to challenge
us; to challenge our rote ac-
ceptance of notes, to challenge
our apathy, to stir and stimulate
a desire for further individual,
unassigned reading or study.
Neither of us, student or faculty
member, has realized his capacity
and in not doing so has allowed
the other to become stagnant,
THE BIGGEST BOND
OF ALL!
by John Mulholand
mstead of a living, vital, im-
portant, valuable instrument in
developing for this day and age.
When we students are being only
tape recorders — tell us, chal-
lenge us, question our interest,
motive, and willingness to be a
student. Be Socratic, be a thorn
in the flesh, be a burr under the
saddle. Sooner or later, the har-
vest will be reaped and new uni-
maginable horizons will be seen
Let us make sure that Truth is
put into the field to be grappled
with. Maybe if this is done more
often, we as an academic com-
munity will together begin to
acknowledge The Truth and not
just our individual and provin-
cial attitudes towards it. Let us
never think we have all the ans-
wers, but being constantly will-
ing to be questioned, search to-
gether and learn. Let us not be
likened to the contemporaries of
Socrates, who put him to death
for his disruption of the status
quo, his constant questions and
challenges, his ceaseless quest
for Truth.
Jeering taunts,
blind, hard eyes;
Pain of nails, wood,
of friends gone,
paths lost in sand.
Staring, no light,
Inlcy depths of thick velvet
muffle all.
The world, sipping tea,
smiles,
and now would kill,
for you have seen,
seen deeper than you ought,
further than allowed.
Senses, sensing, have betrayed,
for touching the procreator
arouses what merely desires sleep
Erase pain of iron,
ripping you?
Protective, devoted pack,
once loving.
Now ever-fled.
Alone, what is left?
What done?
Undone?
"My God, my God, why
hast
Thou
forsaken
Me?"
And winds tore the signposts,
roads disappeared into oblivion.
Ages since,
questions unanswered.
Blind visions arrayed
in force against —
just against.
The thick velvet
encloses, intermingled:
forgotten, that which
blows sands over paths,
touches the womb,
causes friends to flee.
Alone? — Not we.

The New
Garden
of Eden
by Dr. Esther C. Swenson
How does a man prove that
he is a man? In a culture where
rapid change is institutionalized
and the ways of human existing
become shadowy and vague, this
query haunts many of our young
men. Hugh Hefner, more than
most of the other spokesmen for
our society, speaks out loud and
clear on this subject. To most
of us, the name "Hefner" means
"sex." But a thorough study of
his point of view reveals that sex
is not the key which unlocks his
philosophy even if it is the key
hole. Rather, Hefner is concern
ed to speak to the young men
between the ages of eighteen and
thirty, men who are in one of the
major identity crises of their
lives, giving to them an image of
the good life which they might
attain. This vision of Hefner's is
touched in an odd mixture of
secularized Puritan and anti-
Puritan concepts. It is to a quick
look at this general structure of
"Hefnerism" that we would like
to turn.
Playboy status reward of work
The Playboy philosophy be-
gins its view of man with the
notion that man must work.
There is no room for laziness in
the good life of a real man. Like
the Puritans of old, Hefner sees
man's professional life as the
place in which he works out in
fear and trembling his salvation.
Each man must come to re-
cognize his capacities and in
diligence and with perspiration
seek ever the infinite develop-
ment of his capabilities. He must
climb slowly but surely the
Jacob's ladder of success in his
vocation. These two great Puri-
tan values of WORK and.
ACHIEVEMENT are the same
upon which Hefner begins his
attempt to show what a man is.
But whereas the Puritan believed
in these values for the sake of a
man's "proving his election by
God" and insuring his ultimate
joy in heaven, Hefner deludes
us by an almost Old Testament
notion of the fulness of the
earthly life. The reward of work
and success in responsible mat-
ters is that, of achieving the
status of "playboy."
Aims to enjoy the fullness of life
And just what is a "playboy?"
He is not a "wastrel," a "ne'er-
do-well," or a "fashionable bum''
as so many of us might think. He
is "sharp-minded" and respon-
sible. But he has achieved a
particular view of life. "He
must see life not as a vale of
tears, but as a happy time; he
must take joy in his work, with-
out regarding it as the end and
all of living; he must be an alert
man, an aware man, a man of
taste, a man sensitive to pleasure,
a man who — without acquiring
the stigma of the voluptuary or
dilettante — can live life to the
hilt" ("Playboy Philosophy,"
Part I ) . The reward of the hard-
working, responsible, achieving,
succeeding twentieth-c e n t u r y
man is to reap the harvest of the
fulness of life and to live in the
Garden of Eden surrounded with
the best of foods, hidden in the
best of clothes, and always en-
joying with his Playmates games
of hide and se^.
One cannot help but ask if the
values of work and achievement
are as unambiguously good in
a competitive society as Mr.
Hefner believes. Are the men
who enter into these activities so
pure of heart that they can re-
frain from falling into bondage
to them? Does "joy'* come as
the whipped-cream of life, or is
it the deep and ever-moving
source of its wholeness? One
cannot also help but notice that
the man of whom Mr. Hefner
speaks, the Playboy, is not one
who seems to take much notice
of his draft card, the horrors of
Vietnam, the unhappy plight of
the Negroes in Watts, the pover-
ty-stricken people of automated
Appalachia. He is to know of
these situations; he is to speak
intelligently of them; but he is
not to be involved, to dirty his
hands, or to take too seriously
the millions of people of thi&
earth for whom "heaven" is for-
ever a matter of some far distant,
out of sight, out of reach reality.
Distortion of totality
Many of us regard the story
of Adam and Eve as legend or
saga — an interesting but unreal
tale. Is not Mr. Hefner's account
of Adam, though not legendary,
even more unreal, because it dis-
torts the wonder-ful though am-
biguous and awe-ful though often
shocking totality of man's life
in' a global world.
And, at last, one can ask, "Can
a man ever prove himself?"

Alpha Sigma and Theta Ep-
silon are on the move, setting the
pace.
Friday night, February 11,
severah Sig* entered the Student
Center carrying packages. After
a crowd gathered, George Derby-
shire and Hugh McCampbell, Sig
presidents of first and second-
semesters respectively, presented
Mrs. Buchanan with a large box
of Valentine candy and a certi-
ficate proclaiming her "the Ail-
Time Honorary Sweetheart of
Alpha Sigma, for her neverend-
ing cheerfulness, amiable person-
ality, and kindness to the en-
tire student body
TTie following night, some
hundred and fifty people enjoy-
ed a spectacular Sig Sweetheart
Presentation Dance. The decora-
tions were highlighted by the
music of the Sig Blue Shades and
an impressive aluminum-covered
platform at the top of which was
a large red heart and the sweet-
heart throne. The cupids and
escorts were presented as follows:
Barb Fitch, escorted by Ollie
Williams; Kathy Hinger, escort-
ed by Steve Dorner; Peggy
Malone, escorted by Paul Millin;
Jan Rose, escorted by Ralph Mc-
Campbell; and Ginny Wells, es-
corted by Ernie Greeno. Follow-
ing the presentation of the Sig
Man of the Year Award to Hugh
McCampbell by last year's re-
cipient, Mr. Jerry Stewart, Hugh
crowned Barbara Fitch Sig
Sweetheart for the Year '65-'66.
Gatlinburg Weekend
Saturday night witnessed one
of the coolest activities ever
undertaken, sponsored, and suc-
cessfully carried out by any or-
ganization here at Maryville. Sig
and Theta rented one of the
nicest lodges around Gatlinburg,
Bell's Wa-Floy Retreat, which is
owned and operated by a former
student at Maryville, and vice
president of Alpha Sigma in
1906, Mr. W. A. Bell, who had
decorated the interior of the
main room with orange and
garnet crepe paper. Chaperoned
by Mr. and Mrs. Ramger and
Dr. and Mrs. Young, to whom
we are most grateful, 86 Sigs and
Thetas roasted hot dogs and
marshmallows over a big fire-
place fire, sang folk songs, play-
ed cards, and danced to the
music of their own Sig Blue
Shades until 2:0() a.m., when we
went our separate ways to plea-
santly furnished quarters up-
stairs, and in the motel and cot-
tage. The next morning, the smell
of eggs and hacon awakened
many who weren't already up
cooking and milling around.
After thoroughly cleaning
up the dishes and lodge, we re-
turned to campus, finally, after
one of the best week-ends ever. I
The "Butchers"
Hardwood Mets?
Intramural basketball is ex-
tremely important to many
people o n this campus. The
"Butchers," an Alpha Sigma
team in the B-league are no ex-
reption. Led b y team captain
Paul Millin, the members of this
squad have screened all the pro-
spective athletes on campus since
September and have come up
with quite a combination.
The objeotive of this group of
superior athletes is not victory —
heaven hope not: Joe Dawson,
Carl Gchman, A. J. Fort, Ralph
McCampbell, Hugh McCampbell,
John Forgety, Paul Millin, and
Frank Eggers have fun. In a
total of two games, the "Butch-
ers" have piled up forty points!
They have lost 56-21 and 53-19
in close contests.
The object of every game is
to see to it that every member of
the squad gets at least one point,
and thus far each game has been
a complete success. Fans marvel
at the ball handling skills o f
back court wizards Joe Dawson
and Frank Eggers, backed up by
such stalwarts as Hugh McCamp-
bell and John Forgety.
The turnout at these games has
been remarkable. Sports lovers
from across the land journey to
see these magicians perform.
Maryville College students can
also join the march. Come out to
see the "Butchers" live up to
their names as they murder the
game and split your sides in piti-
ful laughter.
Auburn Edges Matmen
Maryville threw a scare into
the defending SEC champions
as the Scots had Auburn Univer-
sity defeated until the last two
bouts when the Tigers registered
pins against Wood and O'Bryan,
in the 191 and unlimited classes.
Winning four out of t h e first
five weight cksses, the grap-
plers jumped to an early 12-3
lead when Auburn began making
their bid for a comeback.
The highlight of the match
was in the 123 pound class as
John Henderson defeated ex-
champion Bob Factora by a
score of 6-2. John moved in for
a takedown in the closing minu-
tes of the first period and took
the lead. Riding his opponent the
entire second period John pick-
ed up two more points riding
time and then reversed Factora
in the last period to secure his
victory. Ron Pritts defeated his
opponent 4-1 and secured for
himself the number one spot for
the upcoming tournament at
Sowanee. Tom Wiley wrestled a
good match against the defend-
ing SEC champion Rich Urn-
bach but was defeatel 7-2. Cap-
tain Ralph Johnson edged out
James Mask 2-1, while Bob Nich-
olas wrestled another win for the

Scots against John Toyso. In one
of the more exciting matches
George Schnitzer wrestled Larry
Schutenbach but was nipped i n

pinned by Chimenlo, Wood pin-
ned by Atchinson, and O'Bryan

Padgett Gets 45
In Scot Romp
The M.C. roundballers came
through with what was perhaps
their best effort of the season
last Monday night, as they down-
ed a visiting Bryan team by the
score of 92 — 65.
Unaccustomed as they were
to not suffering from a marked
height disadvantage, the Scots
managed to perform admirably
under such novel circumstanres.
Backboard superiority, coupled
with lots of hustle enabled Mary-
ville to dominate play during
both halves.
Once again, talented Bill Pad-
gatt led all scorers with 45
points, and boosted his scoring
average to 23 points per game.
Jon Hanscher added 12 points.
The Scots, now 2-14, showed

Physical Education
Majors Plan Trip
This weekend, February 26-
28, four women physical educa-
tion majors will accompany Mrs.
Largen and Mrs. Davis to the
1966 Health, Physical Education
and Recreation Southern District
Convention at Louisville, Ken-
tucky. Seniors Linda Gresham
and Elen Lankenau with Sopho-
mores Kathy Bishop and Denise
Meurey will make the trip.
Some of the highlights of the
convention will be physical edu-
cators speaking on such topics as
"Values of Outdoor Activities."
and "Professional Competence of
College Physical Education Ma-
jors."
There will also be panel dis-
cussions 0 n Elementary and
Secondary School Physical Edu-
cation. In between the discus-
sion sessions and guest speakers
are plans for several luncheons,
a banquet, and a general fun
night.
Cumberland 118,
M.C 85
Cumberland College, of Wil-
liamsburg, Ky., raced to a 10
point lead in the opening min-
utes and were never really threat-
ened as they coasted to an easy
victory over the Scots. The In-
dians front line, which stands
6'9", 6'6", and 6'6", completely
dominated both the offensive
and defensive boards.
Even in defeat, the Scots show-
ed more signs of steady improve-
ment and played excellent bas-
ketball, but unfortunately they
were decidedly out-manned.
Bill Padgett led all scorers with
35, while Denny McGowan and
Jack Llewellyn added 13 and 11
respectively.

7:11 p.m. Mrs. Fuhr arrived — ?
Treasurer's Report — Council
seems destined to debt. Re-
member The Womenfolk? . . .
Sorry, Fred.
Social Committee (Jermy) — It
may be possible for SC to
sponser a Computer Dance
this spring. Maybe there really
is somebody cool enough for
you at MC. Interested? Say
so. We won't plan any further
till you do.
Pep (Rich and Tex) — SUSGA

leading Clinic in August. Les-
sons in Crowd Stimulation. In-
dividual lessons available.

safe to say that MC will have
at least one, and probably two,
popular programs next year.
Only one more committee to
go. More later. Ideas?
Publicity (Ken) — Thanx to
Nancy Gillingham for the SC
poster.
WSGA (Louise) — Sunday — in

Women will talk about Cam-
pus Women. A part of the
series.
MSC (Terry) — Work on the
Carnegie fire alarm system —
with its glass boxes (?) and
heat feelers — will begin im-
mediately— they say. Seems we
get to do without paint in
Carnegie next decade to pay
for it. The Dining Hall sure
looks pretty. A similiar system
will be installed in Pearsons
next summer. They say.
OLD BUSINESS
The Frosh are working well on
next year's Orientation Program.
An eye for an eye . . . Council
does feel that such a program,
well-executed, coupled with the
new dorm environment can be
a help.
NEW BUSINESS
It's about Jenny's interest in the
Men's Lounges. Bill? Terry ex-
plained a recent MSC anti-pig-
pen measure designed, to keep
the Carnegie smoker decent.
They took away the TV. Really,
now, must we penalize Academic
Pursuit for Health?
It was suggested that if the
smoker, clean, were decent, the
initiative for Better Aim would
be greater. Jenny wants to make
curtains. Maybe some money
-oops- could be found to bring

Debate Team
Shown above is the paper sculpture constructed by a group of art majors
that hung in the Chapel during February Meetings. Designed by Sara'
Parker and Ingrid Hellmer, this composition was intended to include the
cross already present in the Chapel, rather than exclude it. Meaning was
to be found in the two hand figures, while the remainder was geometrical
design.
Results Given $20,000 Given for Science Building
Four Maryville College coeds,
all Maryville residents and mem-
bers of the College Debate Team,
were finalists in individual
events at a recent debate at
Spring Hill College in Mobile,
Alabama. Twenty-two colleges
and universities including the
University of Alabama, Univer-
sity of Arizona, Emory, Vander-
hilt, the University of Florida,
and Notre Dame were represent-
ed in the competition.
The four, Sherry Proffitt,
Wanda Hannah, Penny Proffitt,
and Alica Barton, were among
eight who represented the college
at the debate. Sherry Proffitt was
a finalist in After Dinner Speak-
ing, Miss Hannah in Persuasive
Speaking, Senior Division; Pen-
ny Proffitt in After Dinner
Speaking and Miss Barton in
Persuasive Speaking, Junior
Division.
Penny Proffitt and Miss Bar-
ton tied with three other affirma-
tive teams for second place in
the Debate Junior Division.
Luckily for the team. Mobile
was celebrating Mardi Gras at
the same time the tournament
was held, so they saw the parades
and festivities. The last night in
Mobile, Dr. Walker drove her
team thirty miles to see the Gulf
of Mexico by starlight. But as
they say, all work and no play . . .
This week-end the team is de-
bating at Lenoir Rhyne College
at Hickory. North Carolina.
The final payment of $20,000
of a $100,000 grant by the Alcoa
Foundation to Maryville College
has been presented to President
Copeland by Norman Lane,
Manager of Tennessee Opera-
tions for the Aluminum Com-
pany of America. The funds will
be used by the College for a new
science building which is now
being designed.
The building, expected to cost
over $1,250,000, is part of the
College's Sesquicentennial De-
velopment Program and will re-
place the present Fayerweather
Science Hall, built in 1898.
"The Alcoa Foundation grant,
announced in February, 1962, is
a large part of the total cost of
the completely equipped new
building," President Copeland
pointed out. "We deeply ap-
preciate this grant which aids so
materially in providing a new
facility to help Maryville Col-
lege strengthen its science pro-
gram in today's technological
world. We appreciate the con-
fidence in the future of Mary-
ville which is expressed in the
grant."
Also helping toward the cost
of the new building is the ap-
proval of a $355,000 government
grant under the Higher Educa-
tion Facilities Act of 1965 and
the funds from the successful
Maryville College Development
Fund campaign last year.
The design of the new build-
Mr. Meeker
ing is the resuh of a detailed
study by the consulting firm of
Taylor, Lieberfeld, and Heldman,
which studied Maryville's science
program for the past ten years
and projected the needs for ten
years into the future. The site
for the new building has not yet
been decided; three areas of the
campus are now under study.
Gemini 4 Film
to be Presented
by Circle K
This afternoon at 1 :00 p.m.
Circle K will present the historic
"walk in space" of Astronaut
Edward White in a color film.
The 30-minute Gemini Four pro-
duction is free, but donations to
the Crossroads-Ferozepore pro-
ject will be collected.
Representative John J. Duncan
introduces the film of the space
exploration, saying that at "some
future date, when we honor early
space flights, none will be
more significant than the flight
of Four. None risked more; none
contributed more than the first
men to open their protective
metal cocoon and step into that
vast unknown called 'space.' "
Meeker To Give
Senior Recital
(>harles Meeker, an applied
piano major, will present his
senior recital Thursday night,
March 10, at 8:15 in the Music
Hall of the Fine Arts Center.
Mr. Meeker comes from Roselle,
New Jersey, and is the student of
Sallie W. Schoen. He gave a
junior recital last year and has
recently played in competition at
rhe Indiana University School of
Music.
Compositions featured in his
recital will be the Toccata and
Fugue in G minor by Bach,
Sonata No. 26, Op. 81a ( "Les
Adieux"), by Beethoven, and
Sonata No. 3, Op. 46, by Dimitri
Kabalevsky.
Maryville College students, in
the course of the college year in
Maryville, spend about $300,000
in the community, a recent sur-
vey conducted under the direc-
tion of A. E. Hileman, Chairman
of the Department of Economics
at the College, has revealed. The
study was made by Mr. Hile-
man's Principles of Marketing
class.
$292,320 spent by students
Aimed at finding out how
much money Maryville College
students spend while they are at
school and what they buy with it,
the program involved a survey
of 134 of the 812 students re-
gistered last sen.esler. Those
questioned were classified as jun-
ior and senior men and women
living both on the campus and
off the campus, and freshman
and sophomore men and women
living both on the campus and
off the campus.
As a result of the survey, and
after weighting and averaging
the data obtained, it was cal-
culated that the average student
spends $360 over the nine-month
school year on items which are
unrelated to his school needs. For
a student body of 812 this means
a total of $292,320 for student
spending.
Many items in expenditures
In breaking down the survey
to find out what students buy
with their money, it was dis-
covered that transportation is the
largest single item, accounting
for from 20 to 24 per cent of
the total expenditures. Clothing
was next, accounting for 13 to 17
per cent, closely followed by
tobacco, candy, and beverages a^
10 to 14 per cent.
Other major items of expendi-
ture checked in the survey in-
clude food, entertainment, laun-
dry and dry cleaning, repairs to
personal belongings, medical ex-
penses, toilet articles and cos-
metics, and school supplies other
than books.
Science building future expense
Student spending is in addition
to institutional spending which
amounts to about $1,500,000 in
the current budget for salanes
and maintenance and operation.
In addition to the current budget,
capital expenditures of well over
$2,000,000 are currently being
made by the College in the con-
struction of three new dormi-
tories and the installation of a
new boiler in the heating plant.
Additional capital expenditures
planned in the near future in-
clude a new science building at
a cost estimated at over $1,250,-
000.

CDITCI^IAL CUTLCCr
We went to a LKX^F meeting last Sunday. You know, that finky,
Puritanical, no-action. Christian group that is so out of it that they've
got nothing better to do than go to church and think about God and
that bit about brotherhood.
We went and were told that it is impossible to walk the infin-
tisimal line between love and hatred — the line of indifference. We
were told that we have to either embrace life with our whole being
or reject life and accept its death. We heard a new song: "A mighty
fortress is our church — A bulwark never failing, Cha, cha, cha,"
followed by another smash hit, "He was a flop at thirty-three . . .
He could have been successful, Rut instead of climbing 'up,' He
climbed a cross!"
We went and listened and hurt and left ... to go back to the
place where nothing really matters; where school is a game you
play because it's expected; where change would be nice, but, after
all. we'll-only-be-here-for-three-more-months-so-who-cares; where love
and thought and commitment is something for the future; where
nothing really matters . . . except maybe stopped-up showers,
food or lack of same, car permission, sore stomachs, bruised knees
. . . where nothing really matters.

November's reactions to "Em-
phasis: Vietnam" have been re-
ceived from men in the service
here and abroad.
In a letter to Hazel Myers, who
participated in the Student
Council sponsored Christmas
card drive. Specialist Fourth
Class Bobby Bell stated that he
was glad to know that there were
people in the States who support
the policy of the Federal ad-
ministration. The 22-year old
native of North Carolina said
that knowing this raised his
morale and kept him "from
thinking of those that demon-
strate and protest against the
war in Vietnam." He felt that
men will always fight for what
they believe.
Army Private Joe Casino of
Chicago who wrote to the Stu-
dents and Faculty expressed
similar sentiments. At the time,
he was camped near Saigon and

Asia

Many M.C. students are prob-

along with the University of
Chattanooga, Knoxville College,
and Birmingham Southern, has
participated in an Asian Studies
Program since 1963. The pro-
gram, under the sponsorship of
the Ford Foundation, was de-
scribed by Maryville's delegates
for this academic year, Dr. Phil-

SO WHAT!!
by Bill Erwin
The world? Humanity? What
does a Christian — even an
the river." He was aware that he
was 10,000 miles from home and
yet only yards from possible
death. Knowing that there were
people who backed his reasons
for being there made his Christ-
mas brighter.
The two carefully explained
that they were not the only two
faculty members to study under
this program, but that Dr.
Arthur Ainsworth and Mr. Victor
Schoen represented M.C. the first
year and Dr. Arda Walker and
Dr. Carolyn Blair followed them.
The program consists of ten
weekend sessions per academic
year and concentrates on a dif-
ferent area of Asia each of the
three years. TTie first year the
group studied China and Japan;
the second year focused on the
Middle East; and this year India
is the study topic.
Many aspects discussed
The weekend sessions, under
the direction of Dr. Jane Har-
baugh of the University of Chat-
tanooga, include a public lecture
on Friday night, followed by two
three-hour seminars on Saturday.
Lecturers and seminar leaders
are well-known specialists in
various fields of Asian study; in
this case, natives of India or
Westerners who have spent long
amounts of time in India. Each
year there is a different con-
sultant who is a specialist in the
Asian area being studied. Con-
sultants for the 1965-66 study of
India are Dr. Lloyd Rudolph and
Dr. Susanne Rudolph of the Uni-
versity of Chicago. The range of
lecture and seminar topics covers
the fields of political science,
history, art, religion, sociology,
philosophy, literature, culture,
and economics in India.

accompany the seminars. The
Ford Foundation also finances
the weekend sessions, contributes
i)ooks to the participants, and
gives a grant to each of the four
colleges to buy books in the
Asian studies field for their
libraries.
The main purpose of the pro-
gram is to give each faculty re-
presentative a fairly comprehen-
sive picture of the Asian area.
Mr. Bushing pointed out that it
stresses "the need for faculty
members to be informed in many
areas," while Dr. Griffin stated
that, "The program aids smaller
schools in furthering teacher
education, gives access to the
.same lecturers as large university
centers, and makes this study
possible for us to get without

Small and

Fine
This would of course be the
wondrous Saltzburg Marionettes
who brought a small world of
beauty in sound, color, and ac-
tion to the Maryville campus last
February 24.
The afternoon's performance
of "The Nutcracker Suite"
brought OOhs and Ahs and
squeals of laughter from the
children and the young-at-heart
who packed the chapel. Many of
the children stared and chuck-
led at one bearded man in the
audience (Dave Powell) whom
they expected to be a puppet.
Mozart's "Magic Flute" came
alive as the marionettes danced
and capered through the even-
ing production which also played
to a large group. The music and
the diction were as suberb as
the skillful movements and fairy-
land costumes of the marionettes:
a true bit of artistry from elegant
Tamino to the hammy lion and
the darling giraffe.
The puppeteers themselves
were charming as they chatted
in the dining room and even
wheedled an unepected steak din-
ner! And I suspect one of the
highlights of the evening was
when "The Great White Austrian
Father" stepped onstage for a
bow after the performance.

The U. S. has always been a country in love with the future. It
readily accepted the fact that modem science established progress as
a faith and the future as an earthly Eden. Yet recently, the Ameri-
can passion for the future has taken a new turn.
Technology has advanced more rapidly in the past 50 years than
in the previous 5000. Men in business, government, education and
science itself realize that they must look at least two decades ahead
just to keep abreast, must learn to survive under totally different
conditions.

You gave nothing.
There is no disappointment
in getting more emptiness
than was hoped for.
Also, there is no happiness.
Forgive me for spilling warm dreams
in you goblet-hollow lap of ice.

Happiness of Friendship

Week on week

Really never failing.
Bounds cannot limit
Love of man
For fellowman
Nor time ever tarnish
A silvered friend.
Be it known

That happiness like friendship
Will vary
But yet will be— FOREVER.

Scots Score High Qld-Timer Tilt Tonight
On Fruitless
NC Jaunt
by Dave Maxwell
Although losing to Asheville
Miltmore 97-83 and to Mars Hill
127-93. the Maryville Scots
showed marked improvement.
Staging second half comebacks
hoth nights, the Scots played
their best offensive games of the
season in North Carolina last
weekend against the Bulldogs and
the Lions, However, the defen-
sive play of the Scots sagged as
they allowed both teams to run
and drive at will. The opponents'
fine shooting coupled with their
decisive height advantage left
the Scots with two more losses.
Before M.C. was able to get
untracked. the A-B Bulldogs
jumped to an early 50-33 half-
lime lead. Maryville closed to
within 8 points in the second
half. Before finally bowing 97-
<S3. Bill Padgett continued his
scoring rampage with 32 points.
Jon Hancher added 12 and Cap-
tain Denny McGowen's point
total was 1 1 .
At Mars Hill, the Scots ex-
ploded for 93 points, but allow-
ed the Lions to run away for 127
|)oints. Good and Pickard led
their team's scoring as they both
tossed in 32 big ones. Bill Pad-
gett countered with 26 points, but
he received too litde support
from his teammates. Don Payne,
playing one of his better games,
socred 19 points while Denny
McGowen supported them with
16.
Behind 67-50 at halftime, M.C.
threw a scare into the Lions when
the Scots inched to within 10
points halfway through the sec-
ond half, but then collapsed al-
lowing Mars Hill to increase its
lead to 34 points.
Sticks and stones are hard on
bones
Aimed with an angry art,
Words can sting like anything.
But silence breaks the heart.
Phyllis McGinley
The Maryville Scots football
team winds up an excellent
spring practice tonight with a
game under the lights against
the Alumni. On the Alumni
squad will be such Maryville
stars of the past as Benny Mon-
roe, and Ken Berry, both former
Little All-Americans, Bill Owen-
by, Pete and Rex Stafford, Bill
Cochran, and all of this year's
seniors but Gary Dutton, who is
still troubled by a knee injury
suffered in this year's homecom-
ing tilt.
In the Alumni backfield, along
with Monroe and Berry, will be
Donnie Phelps, Ronnie Lingen-
felter, Mike White, and other
past headliners.
This game is the climax to the
first spring practice held during
Coach Howard Tomlinson's ten-
ure as head coach. Coach Tom-
linson and the rest of the staff
consider this practice to have
been extremely beneficial to the
football program here at Mary-
ville. In the past three Saturday
scrimmages, the hitting has been
crisp and the spirit high.
For the Scots, Butch Crabtree
will be at the helm directing the
attack from the quarterback spot.
In his backfield he will operate
with Ray Eaton, Steve Dockery,
and Alex Robins. According to
many observers, this combina-
tion, coupled with Crabtree's
passing to ends Sonny Webb and
John McLaughlin, could surprise
some people with an effective
offensive punch.
The defense — Webb, Charles
Berry, Joe Dawson, Steve Wor-
rell, John Forgety, David Berry,
up front; Carkhuff and Greeno
and linebackers; and Dockery,
McCampbell, and Eaton in the
secondary, will be greatly out-
weighted. Their advantage is
superior mobility and the hard-
nosed aggressiveness which has
characterized Maryville College
football in the past.
Game time is 8 p.m. for what
should prove to be one of the
best games Honaker Field has
witnessed all year.
Pritts Wins SEC Title
After taking the first day lead
Auburn was upset in three key
matches the following day which
opened the way for Georgia
Tech to win their first South-
eastern Conference champion-
ship Feb. 26, at Sewanee Uni-
versity.
Pritts Is King
Ron Pritts carried away the
honors for Maryville as he fought
his way to the top of the 130
pounders in capturing his first
conference tide. After wrestling a
consistently winning season for
Maryville, and having only one
point scored against him the en-
tire season, Pritts entered the
tournament seeded number one.
Defeating Schink of Tampa in
the first round, his second victim
was Paul May of Georgia Tech
whom he defeated 6-0 on his
climb to the throne. In the finals,
Pritts met Dan Gastineau of Mil-
ligan College who went down by
a score 6-0 likewise. It was a
brilliant displav of control wrest-
ling as Ron dominated his op-
ponent for most of the match.
Henderson placed second
John Henderson was runner-
up in the 123 pound class as he
faced the incumbent and three
time champion from Georgia
Tech, Phil Greek, in the finals.
The final score was 4-0. The ma-
jority of the remaining team was
characterized by bad breaks but
nevertheless placed in the middle
of their respective weight classes.
The final team standings was
Georgia Tech., Milligan College,
Auburn, Georgia, Chattanooga,
Maryville, Tampa, Emory, and
Tennessee.
The Scots finished with a 5-6
won-lost record for the cam-
paign.

Anyone who was at the Wo-
men's All-Star Basketball Game
last Friday night will have to ad-
mit that both Theta and Chi Beta
played a tremendous 'game. The
teams were evenly matched,
paced a fast game and kept the
fans on the edge of their seats
as they fought to a 31-29 final
score with Chi Beta the victor.
All the girls who played on
the All-Star teams had partici-
pated in the girls' basketball in-
tramural program and had been
elected to the All-Star teams by
the intramural teams. Chi Beta
All-Stars were Sherry Moncier
(captain), Maren Wright, Mar-
garet Mann, Sara Mason, Janet
Krause, Ellen Lankenau and sub-
stitutes Brenda Laippley, Beverly
Minear, and Marge Stewart.
Theta All-Stars were Denise
Meurey (captain), Carole Brown-
lee, Jane Sloan, Linda Reifen-
kugel, Sandy Jamison, Betty Vin-
cent and substitutes Noreen
Bovis, Jean Ferguson, and Ginny
Wells.
A special word should be said
to all four societies for support-
ing the teams and providing
cheerleaders to root us on.

ing," "No. 5", "No. 11" were
the poems used in "So What!"
to show the world as seen
through the eyes of one man
(and a dog). They combined
with three songs from "For
Heaven's Sake" — "He was a
Flop at 33", "A Mighty Fortress
Is Our Church," and "The Chain-
ed Couple" — to center upon the
relevance of today's Christian
Church. Perhaps the best mater-
ial in "So What!" was that taken
from our own campus. A few
choice quotations of M.C. stu-
dents were pidced from a count-
less number of possibilities to
show our own apathetic attitude.
Too bad it was so easy to find so
many good ones! The presenta-
tion was closed with a plea for
our campus to use its ability to
come up with ideas, concrete
ideas, about the needs of our
campus. The plea still stands.
Padgett Paces
Scot Finale
Before one of the most en-
thusiastic, if not largest, crowds
of the season, the Maryville Scots
defeated Emory & Henry Uni-
versity, 76-72, in the season's
final game.
After losing the opening tip, a
seemingly outclassed Maryville
team, led by the scoring of trans-
fer star Bill Padgett (32), scrap-
ped their way to 38-38 half-time
tie. With the offense working
sporadically and the defense as
tenacious as ever, the second
half proved to be as exciting as
the first. In a game that saw the
lead change frequently, the Scots
finally clinched victory with nine
seconds to go accompanied by
the wild screaming and shouting
of the fans.
Following Padgett in the scor-
ing column were senior Captain
Denny McGowen, playing the
final game of his college career,
with 15 points and an dutstand-
i n g all-around performance;
Jack Llewellyn, 10 points; Don
Payne, 9 points; John Hancher,
5 points; Darryl Stoker, 3
points; and Les Dunson, 2
points.
Showing steady improvement
throughout the season and los-
ing only McGowen from this
year's squad, the team can look
forward to a much better won-
lost record next season.

Debate Team
Wins Top Awards
Defending champion Maryville
College has continued domination
of Lenoir Rhyne College's South
Atlantic Forensic Tournament by
winning the sweepstakes trophy
for the fourth consecutive year.
Forty teams in tournament
Maryville took home the top
award on the strength of its de-
bating record. Its first-string
negative team won first place
among the negative debators,
and its first string affirmative
team earned third place in its
division. Each team won five
debates and lost one during the
six rounds of debating. Forty
teams participated in the tourna-
ment.
Millin and Sikes win awards
One member of the champion-
ship negative team, Paul Millin,
also won the tournament's ex-
temporaneous speaking contest to
help Maryville sweep to victory.
Both Millin and his colleague,
Lee Sikes, won individual super-
ior debate awards with Sikes
coming in second in the in-
dividuaL debating competition.
Roanoke College of Virginia
won second place in the over-all
tournament competition.
Several 5-1 records taken
Although the Maryville nega-
tive team was tops in the tourna-
ment, it won the title by a nose.
Six other negative teams match-
ed the Maryville record of five
wins and one loss, requiring
tournament officials to pick
Maryville on the basis of points
earned. University of South
Carolina took second-place honors
in the division, and East Ten-
nessee State College came in
third. Other negative teams with
5-1 records were E^st Carolina
College, Davidson College, Roa-
noke College and Belmont Abbey
College.

Dr. Shields' natural history
course began on Friday, March
4, with a lecture in the Theatre
from seven to eight p.m. The
course will last for eight weeks
and will include lectures, labs
and field trips, covering various
aspects of plant and animal life,
with special emphasis on life in
lliis area. As Dr. Shields slates
the purpose of such a course is
to discover the beauty present in
all of nature.
Friday's lecture, taught with
the aid of Dr. Shields' excep-
tional slides, included a brief
survey of the plant kingdom and
an introduction to the liverworts
and mosses, starting with the
question, "How do yoir tell a
moss from a liverwort?"
The course is aimed mainly at
townspeople and high school
students, with Maryville College
students seemingly a minority
of two. The dates of future
lectures are still to be determined
and those participating will be
notified.
S^Ut6%CciU<f SficaAu^

In the past week, Maryville
College men have twice been the
victims of attacks by town hoods
— once downtown on the main
street and once in the lobby of
Carnegie Residence. Both were
unprovoked and decidedly un-
fair. All the victims required
medical treatment of some sort.
The hoodluums used a chain, a
billy club, and beer cans to do
their work — six on three the
first time and three on one the
second.
This is an outrage. It is an
outrage that no one came to aid
the victims. It is an outrage that
the administration has taken no
stand. When asked if the school
favored prosecution of the at-
tackers, the now standard reply
came that it would be taken
under consideration. In other
words, they don't care. They do
care if someone gets thrown into
the fish pond, or overcuts chapel,
or doesn't clean up his room.
McCampbell
They care about these — and
others.
But should a student prosecute
a gang of hoodlums that jumped
him? They don't care. You are
old enough to take care of your-
self in matters like that. You're
old enough — that's life. But,
are you old enough to keep a
neat room or have the respon-
sibility of a car or be alone with
a member of the opposite sex?
That's life, too, it's been said.
If the administration of any
institution has not the backbone
or just plain old guts to protect
and advise its students on im-
portant matters like this so that
no further outrages occur; if it
doesn't care that much, then it
has no right to expect its students
to comply with any regulation it
lays down. There is an ancient
adage somewhere that turn about
is fair play. This, above all,
should be taken under considera-
tion.

The world's full of hatred and sorrow
And my mind is distraught as by pain
And I've pondered my death on the morrow
And I've pondered It time and again.
Why live in the scum and the sorrow
That surrounds all poor mortals each day
When death can be gained without horror —
It's just simply crossing the bay.
And yet, there's something that holds me
When I think about crossing the bay.
Fear seems to drop; it enfolds me,
For I know that the trip is one way.
Yet I'd buy my ticket tomorrow
If I knew for sure what she'd say
When they find my bones drained of their marrow
And my flesh falling off in decay.
Yes, I'd buy my ticket tomorrow
And I'd do it without thought of fear
If I knew that my death and its horror
Would evoke from her just one small tear.
A tear, yes, but not one of pity
For no one need pity me
For I'll be safe in God's city
And my mind and my soul will be free.
A tear caused by some strange emotion —
By an unfathomed love for me.
And she strengthens herself to devotion
To my mind and my soul, — but they're free.
And so, If I knew how she'd take it
If I just knew for sure that she'd cry
The trip — I would not have to make it;
There'd be no need to die.
Shoot yourself, Jim my love
You'll not find me crying
A cup of hemlock take thee dear
And I'll not rue your dying.
These words of mine can not be kind
Yea, twill fill your heart with rancor
To know th»t when your ship sails out to sea
I'll help you hoist the anchor.

secrets still hidden from probers,
who are confident that before the
year 2000 they will have found
the secret that causes cancer.
Drug control of personality
will be widely accepted. If a wife
or husband seems to be unusually
grouchy on a given evening, a
spouse will be able to pop down
to the corner drugstore, buy
some anti-grouch pills, and slip
them into the coffee. Or a lack-
adaisical person could be dosed
into a sense of ambition.
An even more momentous pros-
pect is offered by DNA, the com-
plicated molecule that contains
the elements of heredity. Biolo-
gists think that before the cen-
tury is out, they will have suc-
ceeded in changing the "informa-
tion" contained in DNA. If so it
will become possible eventually
to control the shape or color of
men to come; man will become
the only animal that can direct
his own evolution.
But even the most optimistic
experts see no real sign that they
can learn enough about the
process of aging to dramatically
prolong life beyond 70 to 80
years average.
Problem of leisure
By 2000, the machines will be
producing so much that everyone
in the U. S. will, in effect, be
independendy wealthy. With
Government benefits, even non-
working families will have, by
one estimate, an annual income
of S30,000-$40,000 (in 1966
dollars). How to use leisure
meaningfully will be a major
problem.
There are some who gloomily
expect a society run by a small,
elected elite, presiding over a
mindless mulitude kept happy by
drugs and circuses, much as in
Huxley's Brave New World. But
most futurists believe that work
will still be the only way to gain
responsibility and power.
Fear & Bliu
Social and political changes
are far harder to forecast than
technological ones. Futurists are
earnestly considering all kinds
of worries: the possible failure
of underdeveloped countries to
catch up with the dazzling
future, the threat of war, the
prospect of supergovernment.
Some futurists believe that amid
general plenty, politics will sim-
ply fade away. Others predict
that an increasingly homogenized
world culture — it has been called
"the cuhure bomb" — will in-
crease international amity.
Harvard's Emmanuel Mesthene,
believes that for the first time
since the golden age of Greece,
Western man "has regained his
nerve" and has come to believe,
righdy, that he can accomplish
anything. "My hunch," says
Mesthene, "is that man may have
finally expiated his original sin
and might now aspire to bliss."
The chief message of the
futurists is that man is not trap-
ped in an absurd fate, but that
he can and must choose his de-
stiny— a technological reasser-
tion of free will.

"Many students never really
discover what education is all
about until their junior or senior
year of college." Did this, or
could this, possibly apply to you ?
This was the comment of Dr.
E. Fay Campbell, the Chaplain of
the College. This problem was
one of the sources for his new
book, Getting Ready for College.
"I am convinced," says Dr.
Campbell, "that neither the high
school, the church, nor the home
is adequately preparing students
for college." Getting Ready for
College is an attempt to have the
family and the church prepare
students for college. It is hoped
that the book will become a basis
for discussion among parents, the
minister, and the student.
Dr. Campbell has been as-
sociated with college campuses
all his life. He was involved in
the Christian Student Movement
at Yale University for twenty-
five years. He has worked on
numerous campuses during the
last twenty years. He brings a
wealth of knowledge and under-
standing together in his book.
The college student, he says
needs to be ready for the kind
of world which the college pro-
vides with its freedoms and prob-
lems. It is hoped that when he
is adequately prepared, he can
better meet the demands made of
him.
Dr. Campbell first began to
collect ideas for the book about
two years ago. He began to write
it in September, 1964. Last
summer it was published by the
Westminster Press. At the same
time he was beginning to collect

My adversaries taunt me
saying to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"
Why are you sad, 0 my soul?
And why do you sigh before me?
Psalm 42
Hear this, all your peoples,
give ear, all your dwellers in the world.
Of lowly birth or high degree,
rich and poor alike.
My mouth shall speak wisdom,
and my heart shall proclaim insight.
I will incline my ear to a proverb,
will breathe out my riddle on the lyre.
Psalm 49
Ours is a time to question, to disturb
to listen to the riddle of our life
not hiding
from the pain of uncertainty.
Listen now for the riddle as it comes
to '
to you.
Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright
morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly, "I seek
God! I seek God!" As many of those who do not believe in God were
standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Why, did he get
lost? said one. Did he lose his way like a chiM? said another. Or is he
hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus
they yelled and laughed. The madman jumped into their midst and pierced
them with his glances.
"Whither is God" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him —
you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how have we done this? How
are we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away
the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained this earth from
its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from
all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward,
in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as
through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space?
Has it not become colder? Is not night and more night coming on all the
while? Must not lanterns be lit in the morning? Do we not hear anything
yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we not
smell anything yet of God's decomposition? Gods do decompose. God is
dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, the
murderers of all murderers, comfort ourselves? What was holiest and most
powerful of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our
knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to
clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we
have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must
not we ourselves become gods simply to seem worthy of it? There has
never been a greater deed; and whoever will be born after u»— -for the
sake of this deed he will be part of a higher history than all history
hitherto."
Here the madman fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they
too were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his
lantern on the ground, and it broke and went out. 'M come too early," he
said then; "my time has not come yet. This tremendous event is still on
its way, still wandering — it has not yet reached the ears of man. Lightning
and thunder require time even after they are done, before they can be
seen and heard. This deed is more distant from them than the most distant
stars— and yet they have done it themselves."
it has been related further that on that same day the madman
entered divers churches and there sang his requiem aeternam deo. Led
out and called to account, he is said to have replied each time, "What
are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchres of God?"
FN, Frohliche Wissenschaft, 125
Where are we moving? What festivals of atonement, what sacred
games shall we have to invent?
"It comes to this "what interests me is learning how to become a
saint."
"But you don't believe in God."
"Exactly! Can one be a saint without God? — that's the problem, in
fact the only problem, I'm up against today." AC La Peste, 231

4.-The Highland Echo, March 12, 1966
Alumni Stop Scots
Outlined against the blue-gray
March sky, the Four Horseme;i
rode again. They bore little re-
semblance to the famed quartet
of 1924, but rather a group of
M.C. graduates — Phelps, Berry,
McClanahan, and Monroe.
Last Saturday night, before
a crowd that braved what seemed
like sub-zero weather, the Alumni
posted a 12-0 victory over the
1966 Scot footballers, in a climax
to the spring practice session.
After winning the toss, and
taking the opening kickoff back
to their own 36-yard line, the
Scots pushed 50 yeards down-
field, before being stopped at the
Alumni 14. TTien, former Little
Ail-American quarterback Benny
Monroe took the Alumni on the
offensive. In 10 plays, including
two penalties and two fumbles,
the old timers had ground into
the end zone, climaxed by a TD
pass from Monroe to Wilbur
Ramsey. The kick by Monroe
was wide, and the quarter ended
6-0.
Both defenses stiffened in the
second period, and there was no
scoring. At the end of the half.
Jack Mullins intercepted two
passes from Crabtree, both of
which were nullified by penal-
ties.
The only score of the second
half came half-way through the
third quarter when Monroe
scored on a 9-yard keeper. The
kick by Sonny Hughes was wide.
The improvement of the var-
sity over last year's dismal season
was obvious from the sustained
drives they made, almost every
lime they got the ball. Quarter-
backs Butch Crabtree and Junior
Maietta showed remarkable abil-
ity to move the team, and the
running of Byram. Bobbins.
Dockery, and McCampbell, as
well as the pass receiving of Cap-
tain Sonny Webb, indicates a
good future for next season.

Baldwin to be
Renovated
The administration announced
today the plans for the renova-
tion of Baldwin Hall, a tradi-
tional landmark of the Maryville
College campus. Plans were
drawn by the S. P. Ears Archi-
tecture Firm, and. actual con-
struction will be carried out by
the C. OUie Termitus Destruction
Company.
Present plans call for enlarging
the parlor, which has suffered
gready from the population ex-
plosion during the recent cold
weather. Ano^er improvement
will be the installation of a new
communication system through-
out the dorm. The present one
depends solely upon the sender's
vocal strength and the receiver's
possession of ESP.
Hot Water Conning
One feature, whicii will be
particularly appreciated by any
of the girls who stay out until
closing time, will be the installa-
tion of additional showers. It is
hoped these will assist in clear-
ing up the evening traffic jams
during the rush hours. Of course,
the residents will have to be re-
oriented to the idea of hot water
at night. It is feared that some
of the co-eds, accustomed to ice
water showers, may scald them-
selves in the new showers.
Drinking fountains, food
machines, and exercise rooms
will be installed on each floor.
The exercise room will be located
right next to the machines, so
that the girls need not feel so
guilty about buying that Coke
instead of Tab — and those pea-
nuts to bring out the flavor of
the CcJce.
Rooms Enlarged
The rooms, themselves, will
undergo several improvements.
The closets will be enlarged to ac-
commodate the clothing of two
modern coeds instead of the two
nineteenth century ooeds for
which they were originally de-
signed. After all, a girl needs
room for her twenty-six blouses,
fifteen wool skirts, ten school
dresses, eight dressy dresses,
three cocktail dresses and for-
mals. And there must be room
in the bottom of the closet for
those thirty shoeboxes. More
dresser space is also needed. It
is impossible to even begin to
keep the modern coed's cosmetic^
and hairpieces in the present
Continued paf^e 2, col. 2
The ever-increasing demand of
businesses for additional advertis-
ing space has made it necessary
for The Highland Echo to become
a daily newspaper. The Echo will
be published each evening at
11:00 and will be available for
distribution at chapel. Since chapel
attendance is no longer required,
the staff of the paper requests that
you pick up your copy in the Echo
Office, second floor of the Stu-
dent Center. When asked to com-
ment on the change in publication
times, advisor Duncan Bennett was

The Debate Team
to Hit Hawaii
Dr. Walker has just announced
to the vice-president of Pie
Krappa Delta that the debate
team will take in two more
tournaments this season instead
of the one more planned. The
University of Hawaii has invited
the whole team to come to
Honolulu for a week to debate
with their team on the . topic.
Resolved: It is better to have
loved and lost than never to have
loved at all. Dr. Walker accepted
the invitation and began rear-
ranging the teams in boy-girl
partners instead of the traditional
(as of the last two tournaments)
girl-girl and boy-boy teams.
The team has split into two
camps on this important na-
tional topic: half of the team,
the novices, claim that it is better
to have loved and lost, and the
older, wiser, more desperate
varsity members claim that it is
better to love, but to keep on
loving. Dr. Walker refuses to
comment.
The team is now very busy
buying new bathing suits, surf-
boards, etc. for the trip. They
will travel by car, but it will not
be bad since the college has just
bought two new Jaguars to
travel in. They hope to win in
Hawaii and complete the season
jndefeated, as they now stand.
Party Given by
Junior Class
On Thursday, March 31, the
senior class was entertained by
the junior class with an indepen-
dent studies party at Green Mea-
dow Country Club. Don Story,
president of the junior class, ex-
plained, "We tried to get the
Senator's Qub but unfortunately
faculty club had previously re-
served it.
Entertainment was provided by
the Lloyd Residence Amazons'
Vocalizing Aggregation, better
known as the Voiceless Frica-
tives, accompanied by the Bart-
lett Barbarians, a new guitar and
grin group on campus. Since ii
was impossible to march around
the library, it was decided to
march around the bar. Carole
Brownlee was prevailed upon to
render excerps from her indepen-
dent study. Coopers Sea Novels
or subtitle: Naval Novels.
The party broke up at 1:15
A.M. thanks to the new 2:00
A.M. special permission for
senior women. Paul Millin was
the only casualty of the evening.
He was last seen floating down
Pistol Creek, buoyed up by an
empty Schlitz can and one uni-
dentified Maryville policeman.
The Highland Echo staff, in
cooperation with the whole stu-
dent body, has chosen a man
and woman of the year. This is
the first year that the Echo has
undertaken this difficult selective
process. The requirements for
this honor are very strict and
barely attainable. The persons
who were selected achieved the
following requirements for the
all-around person.
1 . A manuscript of independent
studies had to be submitted
and approved by the judges.
A bid had to have been made
by a publisher promising to
publish it.
2. Both social events of the year
had required attendance. Blue
attendance slips signed by all
42 chaperons had to be sub-
mitted to the staff.
3. The religious requirement
was a little less vigorous with
a mere 4 year perfect at-
tendance in chaped.
4. The person had to submit to
a closely guarded grading
system which was marked by
the neapest of kin — the
housemother. Here they were
graded on amount of T.V.
time, smoking etiquette, tooth
brushing accuracy, and num-
ber of times dining hall was
used instead of dining room.
The judges had a very labor-
ious job but the chairman of the
committee, Evelyn Ramger, an-
nounced that after much delibera-
tion they selected Miss Passionel-
la Pulchritude as woman of the
year and Harry Heman as man
of the year. The Highland Echo
hopes to continue this tradition
in the typical Maryville fashion
— who knows, maybe your son
or daughter will win!

The following is a true story.
I feel it is my duty to pass- it
on to the students of Maryville
College.
Once upon a time in a small
sheep-herder village long ago, a
small boy was tending the village
sheep on the outskirts of the
cozy little town. He was a prank-
ster and he had a rotten mind.
Being a small boy who was a
prankster with a rotten mind, he
decided that it would be fun if
he shouted, "Wolf, wolf," at the
top of his voice. And he did. He
shouted — and all of the fearless
townspeople came scurrying out
of their respective homes and
abodes carrying sticks and other
deadly weapons with which to
drive away the menacing wolf.
There was no wolf and the small
rotten boy gleefully guffawed at
the gullible group senselessly
flailing the bushes in search of
one. The peaceful villagers were
furious and stomped their way
back to their respective homes
and abodes dragging behind
them their sticks and other dead-
ly weapons.
The next day the small rotten
boy pulled the exact same nasty
trick with the exact same nasty
effect on the tranquil towns-
people. An identical trick the
following day exasperated even
the sedate citizens of this small,
fun-loving town as they dragged
their sticks and other deadly
weapons behind them to their
respective homes and abodes for
the last time.
The very next day, a wolf
came to harass the herd and the
small rotten boy shouted, "Wolf,
wolf," at the very top of his
voice to no avail. The experienced
townsmen would not again fall
prey to this small rotten prank-
ster's folly. And it is a shame
indeed, for all of the bleating
sheep were eaten by the ravenous
wolf. So ends the tale.
As one can readily perceive, it
has a moral: don't raise sheep if
you own a small rotten boy. Or —
don't believe everything you
hear. All we can say about this
issue of the Echo is "Wolf, wolf,"
or, "April Fool." This does not
mean that there is no April, as
some, remembering the story
may think, but rather, that
nothing in this paper is true and
that no offense is intended to
anyone involved. We sincerely
hope you enjoy it.

This reporter questioned some
returning students as to their
vacations and etc. Most of them
had very little to say about etc.
Those who finally broke down
and talked had this to say to the
question: ''What did y^u do over
vacation and etc?"
Greg Hallen: "1 spent every cent
1 had; could you loan me five
dollars?"
Sandy Briggs: "It rained the
whole time we were in Nassau
and I had to stay in bed all
week."
Karen Keen: "The sun shone the
whole time we were in Nas-
sau and me and Siv<'r swam

be removed and replaced with

Ceiling heat will replace the
radiators. Admittedly, it is going
to be lonely at first. The silence
will be frightening to the re-
sidents who formerly lived in
the constant presence of George,
the radiator. Each room will also
have its own telephone. No more
waiting in line on Sunday nights.
Automatic Beds Seen
New beds will be installed.
These will contain massage units
to cut down on tired, tense mus-
cles. There will also be a control
panel beside each bed to make
the process of getting up in the
morning a litde easier. This
panel will turn on the light, off
the alarm, and give off the odor
of fresh coffee, bacon and eggs.
This may be a cruel trick to play
on the poor student, but it has
been found to be quite effective.
In case the student does find
time to study, there will be a few
study rooms provided. Not much
time has been spent in planning
these as it is felt that very little
use will be made of them. After
all, with all the other features
found in this dorm, who could
have time to study!

Several incidents have occur-
red rj'cently around the con-
struction sites here on campus to
cause campus officials to won-
der at the safety measures taken
hy the construction company.
Just yesterday President Joseph
J. (Stud) Copeland was over-
heard saying. "The meals in the
dining hall have been getting
lousier every day. Who knows
when it will all end?"
Questioned further on this sub-
ject J.J. continued: "Yes, several
incidents have occurred recently
around the construction sites here
on campus to cause campus of-
ficials to wonder at the safety
measures taken by the con-
struction company."
Maryville is holes in your shoes cause cars, buses, scooters, motor
boats, skates and heliocopters are prohibited.
Maryville is chapel at 8:00 A.M. when your first class isn't until 1:30.
Is There a W. C?
CU Qtann^^A wa& nemft like ttiU!
An English lady, while visiting Switzerland, was looking for a room,
and she asked the schoolmaster if he could recommend one. He took her
to several rooms and when everything was settled, the lady retuned to her
home to make final preparations to move. When she arrived home the
thought occurred to her that she had not seen a W.C. (water closet: bath-
room) around the place so she immediately wrote a note to the school-
master asking him if there was a W.C. around. The schoolmaster was
a very poor student of English so he asked the Parrish Priest if he would
help with the matter. Together they tried to discover the meaning of the
letters W.C. The only solution they could find for the lettters was
Wayside Chapel. The schoolmaster then wrote the tpllowing note to the
English lady:
Maryville is sharing your small dorm room with the mice.
Downtown for
Perscriptions - Hallmark Cards & Stationery
Fountain Service
This space for doodles.
Dear Madam,
I take great pleasure in inform-
ing you that the W.C. is located
nine miles from the house in the
center of a beautiful grove of fine
trees surrounded by lovely grounds.
It is capable of holding 229 people
and it is open Sundays and Thurs-
days only. As there is a great num-
ber of people expected during the
summer months, I suggest that you
come early, although there is usual-
ly plenty of standing room. This is
an unfortunate situation, particular-
ly if you are in the habit of going
regularly.
You will no doabt be glad to
hear that a good number bring their
lunch and make a day of it. While
others, who can afford to go by
car, arrive jufit in time. I would
especially recommend your ladyship
to go on Th-jrsday when there is an
organ accompaniment. The accous-
tics are excellent, and even the
most delicate sounds can be heard
everywhere.
It may interest you to know that
my daughter was married in the
W.C. and it was there that she first
met her husband. I can remember
the rush there was for seats. There
were ten people to a seat usually
occupied by one. It was wonderful
to see the expressions on their faces.
The newest attraction is a bell
donated by a wealthy resident of
the district. It rings everytime a
person enters. A baxaar is to be
held to provide plush seats for all
since the peo|>le feel that is a long-
felt need.
My wife is delicate so she can't
attend regularly. It is almost a year
since she went last. Naturally, it
pains her very much not to be able
to go more often. I shall be delight'-
ed to reserve the best seat for you,
if you wish, where you will be seen
by all. For children there is a special
time and place so that they will
not disturb the elders.
Hoping to have been of some
service to you.
Sincerely youri,
The SchoolmAtter

Fllhr Wins Masters M.C. Raceway Crippen, Baron, Win At Flats
Tom Fuhr won the USPGA Master's golf tournament today
with a four round total of 273, seven strokes ahead of his closest
competitor, Calvin Knox. The winner received $25,0(X) top prize
money, while Knox received $10,000.
The match was played at Withering Spoon Country Club, in Hershey,
Pennsylvania, over an extremely long and difficult course.
The highlight of the tourna-
ment was Fuhr's hole-in-one,
coming in the last round of com-
petition. For aceing the 195 yd.,
par 3 14th, Fuhr received an
extra $5,()()() and a 1906 Cadillac
convertible which he plans to
trade for a smaller model be-
caust*: "I want one that is easier
lo park."
Consistant putting seemed to
be the key to Tom's success, as
he three-putted only one green
and on six occasions sunk putts
of more than twenty-five feet.
When asked to explain his un-
usual putting form, Fuhr re-
plied: "I suppose I do all the
things an excellent golfer does —
feet firmly planted, head still and
all that. But the key to my suc-
cess is the way I hit the ball. I
try to stay relaxed and let my
hands do as little as possible.
Only the weight of the putter
propells the ball. It's the same
way with driving. I let my clubs
have all the authority. My game
has improved tremendously while
practicing on the college course."
The British Open is next on
Fuhr's list. "I've always wanted
to visit England since it's the
birthplace of almost all Ameri-
can institutions; England even
has a place in the hearts of stu-
dents at Maryville College — I
have heard General Braddock
slept in Memorial Hall."

Stoker Inks
Pro Pact
Darrell Stoker, a sophomore at
Maryville College, today signed
a contract to play professional
basketball for the Harlem Globe-
trotters. The terms of the con-
tract include a $50,000 bonus
and bus fare to Hawaii where
the team is currently on tour.
"Brillo" Pads Record Book
Stoker has played varsity
basketball for two years at MC
and has been a standout both
years. "Brillo" as he is called
by his teammates, holds several
records, among which is the dis-
tinction of being the only man
in MC history to miss 31 con-
secutive free throws in varsity
competition.
This reporter was able to inter-
view Mr. Stoker during a
practice of the Magna Rodentia,
a group for which he performs.
When asked to comment on the
signing, Stoker replied: "Um
GOOD! Boy, this extra bread
oughta' come in handy. I think
I'll buy a new set of guitar
strings 'cause I broke one recent-
ly. But the only trouble is I play
so loud I can't tell which one's
broke. If any thing's left I'll con-
The newly completed one half
mile Maryville College circular
raceway was the scene of the
"Townie 500" Saturday, March
5. Several MC undergraduates
entered but only Louis Newman
and his Sears & Roebuck skate-
board qualified for the race.
I. M. Thugg of Maryville won
the pole position in his 1965
Chrysler, "Chains & Clubs." His
only comment concerning the
race was: "In numbers there is
strength."
The race started at 10 P.M.
and Lou Newman, with the pro-
tection of 300 MC undergrad-
uates, was several laps in the
lead. But on the sixteenth lap
Newman secumbed to fatigue
and was forced into the pits
after imagining that he had seen
a rifle pointed directly between
his eyes.
Thugg then took the lead and
it looked as though no one would
be able to overtake him until
several late entries arrived. They
were five squad cars from the
M. P. D. which quickly caught
up with the leader and went on
to sweep the first five positions.
The winner, Sgt. Perciful
Krupke, who drove squad car No.
3 was given top prize — a free
balloon-test and permanent park-
ing space in front of Anderson
Hall.
Maryville College was made rightly proud today. It was an-
nounced that the popular proctor of the Men's Residence, Mr. Lee
Crippen, won a first place with his Falcon at the First Annual
Falconry Contest in Burdee Flats, Navada.
Mr. Crippen's Falcon, known
as the Red Baron, gained the
reputation as being the scourge
of the airway when early in the
contest he attacked a. squirrd
of the flying variety. This gave
Mr. Crippen an early lead, for
the object of the contest is to
bag the largest variety of game
in a specified time. Because of
the aggressive nature of Mr. C's
bird there were protests of "fowl
play" and "Dam the Red Baron."
At the end of the day Mr.
C's er.try was tied with that of
a Burdee Flats native, Colt Fal-
staff. Tlie tie was broken when
a playoff was held after dinner.
The Red Baron was sorely pres-
sed to find a game; when sud-
denly from out of the setting
sun flew a lost and bewildered
South American Condour. Daunt-
less, and with courage inherited
from his master, the Red Baron
attacked the big bird. The shock-
ed Condour was harassed so heav-
ily by the fearless Baron, that
he flew into a Beer Sign and
was promptly killed, thus giving
Mr. C and the Baron their first
championship. For those interest-
ed in statistics, the Red Baron
became a single Ace with a total
tally of:

3 French bene
2 Turtle Doves

trotters sometime in June, after
he graduates from Memorial
Institute of Corruption and

COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Projects, Social — nothing. (Not
to be interpreted as an indica-
tion of satisfaction with Spring's
Opportunity.)
Elections — with luck, informa-
tion concerning the upcoming
load of elections will be in your
mailbox. How about some serious
thinking about qualifications? —
many schools do.
WSGA, MSC— are resting.
Organizations — plans for fur-
ther discussion of flie results of
the amazing realization that the
■'Societies" at Merrville are fas-
cinatingly inefficient are under-
way. A whisper of the possibility
of an expanded program of
societies was overheard — yes — in
The Tower's Trunk. Don't get ex-
cited— yet.
Academic — John reported on
a meeting Tuesday of the leaders
of the six groups of faculty and
students who have been meeting
since vacation to discuss The
Mess. The plan is to expand and
divide the present groups so as
to allow as many members as
possible of The Plight to express
themselves constructively. This is
a good opportunity to raise heard
hell — so listen for the formation
of the new groups. Some quite
constructive ideas about the Sal-
vation of Chapel have been heard
and might receive reaction. This
program is progressing very
frankly. Even Brownlee is en-
couraged. Join in, if you think.

Circle K Inducts WSGA Changes
New Members Rules
The last meeting of Circle K
included its monthly program
and the induction of new mem-
bers. Rich Marshall, president of
the club, outlined the club ob-
jectives and responsibilities to the
new members. New members
who were presented with pins
included David Crawford, John
Dowling, John Haynie, Scribner
Messenger, and James Moore.
Mr. Lloyd Thornton, Alcoa
Training Manager, presented the
program which concerned a
brief analysis of his vocation.
On Thursday morning, March
10, it was announced that Circle
K had donated $100 toward the
Crossroads-Ferozepore Project.
Circle K is particularly proud of
this project because the funds
were not taken from its treasury.
Each member was given the
name of a Maryville or Alcoa
Kiwanian who wanted some woric
done. With this contact, each
member went to work to make
money for the project. We would
like to take this opportunity to
thank all of those who made the
success of this undertaking pos-
sible.
Anyone who may have sug-
gestions as to how the Circle K
Club can be of service to the
college community should fed
free to contact any of its mem-
bers. We are at Maryville to
serve you.
In connection with its 50th an-
niversary, the Highland Echo is
sponsoring a short story, poetry,
and photography contest. Deadline
for submitting material %ifill be
May 1. Entries will be judged by
a faculty committee, consisting of
Dr. Ed%inn Hunter, Dr. Carolyn
Blair, Mrs. Jack Gate, and Mr.
Duncan Bennett. Contestants
should place each entry in an en-
velope with nances on a separate
piece of paper and give them to
any member of the Echo staff.
Short stori^ft and poetry must be
typed, doubie-spaced, on one side
of the paper. Winning material
will be published in the anniver-
sary issue.
Since the week before spring
vacation, several changes made
by WSGA concerning women re-
sidents have been in effect.
The main emphasis has been
placed on a revision of the car
permission system. The former
system {i.e. permission slips
given by the housemothers) was
set up about five years ago by
students, but it has since lost its
relevancy and practicality. Thus
the revised method centers on
the sign-out card already in use
— in other words, no more per-
mission slips! This sign-out card
now is used also to leave neces-
sary information if riding in a
car. It is not necessary, however,
for a girl to sign out if riding
within the Maryville-Alcoa limits
during the day. Nothing is need-
ed, therefore, for such things as
student teaching, shopping, work
at Home Avenue, etc.
Other changes include the
opening of the parlors at certain
times for slacks as well as other
minor changes made by the
house councils within individual
dorms.
These revisions hopefully are
more workable and more logical
than formerly.
Peace Corps
Discussed at
Econ Meeting
Mr. Robert Vander Ohe, a
former Peace Corps member, was
the guest speaker at a seminar
presented by the Economics and
Business Department Thursday.
Mr. Vander Ohe is now working
on his Ph.D. in Economics at the
University of Tennessee. In ad-
dition to his general discussion,
t h e Problems of Economic
Development, Mr. Vander Ohe
told what the Peace Corps is
trying to do to assist under-
developed nations.

Playing by the brass ensemble
opens the Easter Sunday morn-
ing service. Brass chorales are
played wi the campus and along
the way through the College
Woods. The service opens with
the Maryville College Choir sing-
ing "Christ Is Arisen." Other
anthems by the Choir include
"Wondrous Love," "Alleluia!
The Strife Is O'er," "0 Sons and
Daughters," "The Lord Rei-
gneth," "Christ the Lord Is Risen
Today," and ''Beautiful Savior."
The service closes with the
benediction and sevenfold amen
sung by the Choir.
Scripture for the service is

p.m. Sunday in the Chapel on the
campus.
Announcement:

{The editor regrets that space
does not aUow for the complete
text of Dean Fuhrs remarks, but
it may he obtained from Student
Council President Hugh Me-
Campbell. )
At the regular meeting of Stu-
dent Council on Tuesday, April
5, Dean Fuhr presented a paper
entitled "Statement on Dis-
ciplinary Action." The following
remarks are excerpted from that
paper: "Note, to begin with, that
the college accepts the possibility
of failure in spite of its concern
to redeem all individuals in-
volved in disciplinary action
since it is, by its very nature, an
educational, not a clinical in-
stitution. The college does not
have the personnel, the funds,
or the procedures to make avail-
able to students the facilities in
clinical psychology that would be
needed . . .
Adjustments Needed
"Both the institution and the
individual must be willing to
make adjustments in the light
of a complicated and trouble-
some matter. If either party to
the settlement refuses to accept
the limitations required by the
other, there can be no effective
action. The college has no right
to expect all concessions to be
made by the student, but, by
the same token, the student can-
not expect, without penalty, to
disregard the limitations imposed
upon him by the college. The
student who chooses to avail him-
self of the privileges offered to
him by the institutuion but does
not choose to live by the regula-
tions which govern its operation
is asking an impossible bargain.
He wants all the opportunities
but none of the restrictions.
Specifically, it is unrealistic to
enroll at an institution which has
regulations against drinking and
then hope to escape penalty if
the drinking takes place."
Board View Seen
After a brief discussion of ap-
parent unequal justice in regard
to disciplinary cases, Dean Fuhr
continued by saying that "the
inequities arise, from the nature
of the incidents involved, and of
variables among the students.
The disciplinary body charged
with the investigation of the case
frequently takes into considera-
tion questions like these: Is this
a first occurrence . . .? Is the
student deliberately violating the
regulations . . .? Has the student
developed a consistent pattern of
good behavior . . .?
"What many students do not
realize is that nearly any dis-
ciplinary problem can be settled
short of suspension if, on their
own initiative, they will submit
the issue to a counseling situation
and do not wait to plead the
right to a second chance after
they are caught. The idea of a
second chance implies that there
is reasonable hope for renova-
tion in character; it loses mean-
ing when it is used as a device
to avoid some penalty."
Dean Fuhr then cited examples
to substantiate his premise that
discipline action is often the way
by which students are enabled, to
realize their mistakes and take
steps to correct them. Suspension
is not the end of the road but
may rather be the catalyst need-
ed by a particular individual.
"College policies may not al-
ways be wise," he went on to
say, "and injustices and frustra-
tions may at times result, but let
us, in our more appreciative
moments, be thankful that we
are part of an institution where,
for generations, men and women
have shared deep convictions and
lived by rigorous standards. In
a world where values are so often
mere extensions of the temporiz-
ing, emphemeral, individualistic
concerns of men, we hold to the
sometimes unpopular view that
the lives of students are not neces-
sarily best served when each gets
to do precisely what he wants at
the moment that he wants it.
This is moral anarchy, and the
college will have cheated its stu-
dents educationally if it ever
gives the impression that a do-
as-you-please policy will work
either 'r^T'e or anywhere."
Cars Distract Students
Restrictions in the use of
automobiles was taken as a case
in point. The "psychological im-
pact upoA the student's academic
life" was seated as the more
critical of the issues to be con-
sidered in this instance. ". . .
Cars acquired chiefly for social
and recreational purposes con-
stitute major distractions. They
almost inevitably prompt students
to spend time on the road that
they cannot afford away from
their studies, and to seek outlets
an<l satisfactions in activities
scattered over a wide geographi-
cal area when it is more mean-
ingful to their college experience
if both their academic and ex-
tracurricular programs are cen-
tered on the campus." In spite of
these comments, Dean Fuhr did
express the hope that a more
realistic program concerning cars
can be arrived at in the near
future. He concluded with the
remark that "one of the great
choices in this world is to decide
whether to make life an exception
to the rules, or, within the rules,
to make an acceptable life."

sentation can be found in column

The final recital presented by
the Maryville College-Community
Artist Series this year featured
Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, outstanding
young cellist, and Leonora Sup-

about Mr. Tsutsumi's bowing
technique, or his highly precise
intonation, or the depth of inter-

criticize the relative weakness of
the pianist (shown especially in
the Mozart), but to what ad-

long remember our experience*
with Mr. Tsutsumi's artistry;
since few of those who did not
attend realize what they missed,
why direct comments to them?
Mr. Schoen and his committee

might be added, faculty) who do

2-The Highland Echo, April 9, 1966
Scots Take Two from Hillsdale
MC opened its baseball season with back to back victories over
visiting Hillsdale College from Hillsdale, Michigan.
The Scots had to scramble for their tallies. Sonny Webb got
on an infield single, stole second and third, and raced home on
a passed ball to tie the score at 1-1. In the seventh inning Steve
Dorner singled to drive in what was to be the winning run as the
Scots took a 2-1 decision.

Letter to the Editor
March 18, 1966
Dear Editor:
I am writing to comment on
the article by John Mulholland
entitled "The Quest" in the Feb-
ruary 26 issue of the Highland
Echo.
When I read this article I was
really impressed by it, in fact,
it really inspired me. I con-
gratulate Mr. Mulholland for
writing an article like this. In
this article he really hits the nail
right on the head. I am glad
that he has taken the initiative
to try and convey this most im-
portant message to the students.
The most important part of this
article is that the student should
not take everything for granted
and not challenge it and find out
more about it or if it is right.
I would like to reemphasize and on a research program under the

study at the Blount Memorial
Hospital Laboratory under Dr.

and Dr. Edwin Kelman, as-

The study involves llie use of
paper chromatography in deter-
mining relative concentrations of
amino acids in the blood. An
excess or deficency^ of certain
acids is known to be the cause
of certain forms of mental re-
tardation.
With this type of co-opera-
tion, it is still possible for the
chemistry major to do an inde-
pendent study in his main line
of interest. This opportunity is
being granted to the biology stu-
dents. Oliver Williams, who will

doing his independent research
at the hospital.

The Highland Echo, April 16, 1966-3
An Open Letter To Dean Tom Fuhr
(Editor's note: The following is
the viewpoint of an individual stu-
dent and should be regarded as
such. Because the Echo is and will
remain an instrument for personal
expression, we ask for responses to
Mr. Schellenger's statements. The
reply of Dean Fuhr will appear in
next week's paper.)
With the statements that I've
heard from you in the past two
weeks, culminating in last Satur-
day's Echo, I feel a response is
necessary. I shall have to start
with the points which first strike
me. There are two concepts which
you advocated which some have
been trying to do away with for
some time — both centering on
the fallacious idea of a college
in loco parentis. Your statement
concerning the leading of a child
across the street being compar-
able with making rules for col-
lege students is hig'hly presum-
ptuous. I do not want or need
you leading me across any streets,
nor is there any one of you in
Anderson Hall so morally super-
ior as to be able to give me your
"wisdom" as a set of rules for
life. No college has any business
supposing that it knows so much
about life that it must guide stu-
dents. When will you people learn
that moral life cannot be doc-
trinal, that it cannot be codified
by the older for the younger
generation? Moral life implies
active decision of the particular
person in his particular situation,
not adherence to someone else's
idea of a set of rules. I've
crossed enough streets by now
to be able to pick my own and
to cross them at my own time.
I am perfectly willing to
talk with you about what you
think you've learned in your
life, but when you codify it
in the way Maryville has and

then force it upon me with the
justification that this is a neces-
sary safeguard, all I can reply
is ''hog- wash." Your generation
and its rules have made a clear
showing of inadequacy in the
face of the modern world. To ask
me to be grateful for having to
live by such rules is patently
ridiculous. I must refuse such
second-hand existence which calls
on me to lead life the way you
want me to; I have my own
life to lead, and no justifiable
reason can be put forward by
any college for preventing me the
flixibility to find my own way
of doing so. If you persist in
legalizing rules of life, you will
cut off all communication be-
tween yourself and me, and of
necessity you may find the stu-
dent flatly refusing what you
have to offer. At the present, I
only go around your rules, re-
cognizing their basically asinine
character.
In the same manner there is
your statement concerning moral
anarchy — it is quite obvious
that you have no concept of the
meaning of the phrase. All it
means in your context is that
you're afraid that, without your
rules imposed upon us, we might
not lead our lives by them.
You're darn right I wouldn't,
but that's still a far cry from
moral anarchy. It is fallacious
for you to assume that you know
so much about moral life that
you can tell me that without your
rules (or any set of rules as com-
prehensive as we now have) we
will face moral anarchy. All I
will do is to choose my own
moral interpretations, a perfect-
ly valid process which should not
have to take place subversively.
The smug idea that you seem
to show which says that you
and your Anderson tower friends
are to "give us life and respon-
• sibility" has been shot full of
holes many times before, and
must remain invalid. If you per-
sist in maintaining it here, you
will find that, regardless of your
new curriculum, you will not be
able to keep intelligent stu-
dents—already they are leaving,
finding the combination of weak
academics and ignorant rule
more than they need to bear.
In the matter of judgment of
students, I cannot help feeling
that those who make the judg-
ments are in worse trouble than
those receiving them. Your state-
ment about the lack of clinical
psychiatric aid for our students
must be altered. Perhaps you
have not been here long enough
to see many students crack be-
cause such help was not avail-
able. There sihould be no reason
why Maryville cannot dig up
the funds to pay part salary for
a clinical psychiatrist, at the hos-
pital for example, who could
handle our students who have
need of such service. The funds
excuse is becoming a highly ir-
ritating one which I am sure
can be gotten around. Your con-
cept of judging a student on the
basis of his willingness to reform
is nothing short of coercion. You
seem to expect me to admit I
am wrong because I disobeyed
your rules, which I cannot ac-
cept in the first place. The key
here appears to be your concern
that the college have final
authority, no matter on what
grounds. I feel that authority,
as respect, must be earned, and
there is precious little in the
academic and social life to earn
it.
The further idea that we must
expect certain penalties to go
along with our "education" is
invalid in its present form. You
used the euphemism "limitations"
to justify the position of the
school as supreme authority in
all matters concerning students;
to this I can only object, and
say "no" resoundingly. I will
work with you to change the
situation, and do so eagerly; but
I cannot run around giving lip
CHRISTIAN BOOK NOOK
service to the idea that we are
wrong as long as the rule is on
the books. "Renovation of
character" as you stated it be-
comes very meaningless, for it is
one-sided, and that side is your
side, not the side of the "of-
fender."
Now to cars, where, as you
know, I have a personal interest.
I broug'ht a car back after Spring
Vacation, and asked you to per-
mit me to park it, telling you
that my parents had no desire
to have to drive two cars down
here themselves at graduation
time. Ignoring my parents en-
tirely, you and your committee
came up with a completely nega-
tive response to the issue which
can only be calculated to pro-
long the present lack of logic in
our car policy. "Take it back to
Illinois," you said — as if I had
the time or money to do so! As
an alternative, you let me sug-
gest my sister in Rome, Georgia,
where the car now is. Your rea-
sons? I hadn't told you before
vacation, and you didn't want to
establish a precedent of the col-
lege permitting cars to be parked
until vacation. The first is an-
other clumsy attempt to maintain
college authority, regardless of
the nature of the decision. The
same type of attempt was made
last semester when you made
men in the basement of Carnegie
return their rooms to their
original setup, because they had
changed two rooms around to
have one to study in and one
to horse around in without ask-
ing you — as if that was the only
important issue.
The second issue 1 suggested
that you get around by using
the presence of my car a lever
to review car policy, especially
since you had made such ar
earnest statement about wanting
to review it. But that was un-
heard, so the car is now "no-
where in East Tennessee" as you
specified. Then came Saturday's
paper. Perhaps you are not
aware that everything in the way
of research has been done ex-
cept having cars on campus to

see their effects. If you truly
want to change car policy,^ you
are in position to do so, and you
would receive sufficient backing
to facilitate all procedures and
to secure your position against
any opposition. I think that the
argument about students leaving
the immediate campus is crucial
only if you still accept the myth
of the "Maryville College fam-
ily," which I happen to think is
presently a bit shabby.
It seems that Anderson still
has to learn that students can
only suffer when someone else
tries to lead their lives for them
to the extent that Maryville does.
Rebellion can be the only result,
and freedom in such an op-
pressive atmosphere must neces-
sarily become identified with es-
caping rules as such. This can
be quickly changed, and without
the sweat and tears now being
shed over the issue. None of the
rules is so sacrosanct as to defy
inspection and change, nor are
any of the motives of those who
originally established them. As
Paul MiUin pointed out, one of
the quickest ways to get students
on the side of wanting to help
this school change is to make the
atmosphere more acceptable and
realistic — in other words, change
rules. Anarchy can only occur if
you fail to* allow for necessary
change. Until the necessary
changes are made, and especial-
ly until you stop thinking you
stand in position to give me life
and responsibility commensurate
with your estimate of me — ^the
life and responsibility which are
already mine regardless of your
opinions — until then, you cannot
expect my aid, nor can you
honesdy expect us, as seniors, to
go out of here recommending
this school to prospective stu-
derits. I have hope for the future
of this school academically, and
I've worked fairly hard to help;
but a statement such as yours
causes me to lose much hope,
for the attitudes expressed there-
in stand directly in the path of
this school ever becoming first

Baseball Strongest In Years
The Maryville varsity baseball team has wtiat promises to be plus a little of his own. Jack is
one of the better teams to be fielded in the past few years. Coach an able starter and an excellent

first base is Big John Agnew, a
letterman from last year who
handles his glove ably and is
also a constant threat with his
bat. John will be looked to a
great deal for his hitting this
year. Behind John is Jim Stiano,
a freshman who has a lot of
baseball ability and is capable of
hitting the long ball occasionally.
Jim will be relied upon to do
much of the pinch hitting this
year as well as some of the out-
field .duty. If he proves himself
with the bat he may well find
a regular spot in the line-up
before the year is over.
At second base the Scots are
equally strong with Steve "Doc"
Dockery making the tags. Steve
is a Junior transfer from Hiwas-
see Junior College. Steve played
both of his years at Hiwassee
and really likes the game. Along
with smooth fielding Don Payne
at short stop they make a fine
double play combination. Don is
also a letterman back from last
year's team. After being moved
to several positions in the infield
last year, Don has found a re

TTie hope of the Scots is pitch-
ing. With two new comers and
two back from last year there is
ular home at short stop. Don hoth new talent and experience
will also be counted on for much
of the Scots bat power.
Third is Question Mark
At the keystone sack Coach
Baird has had to do a little think-
ing. In order to find the man for
the position about five players
were tried at the spot. After
things were narrowed down,
(]oach Baird had two remaining
choices: Steve Dorner and Dave
Maxwell. Dorner got the nod for
the first two games and did a
capable job, but Dave will prob-
ably get a shot at the job before
the year ends. Both boys prove
to be better than average fielders.
The big question will be who
can come up with the big play
or who can swing the bat. Steve
is a sophomore who only de-
cided to play this year. Dave
Maxwell is a fre. .man who has
been switched from first base
where he is a little more at home.
Rounding out the infield at
catcher is captain Sonny Hughes.
Sonny has lettered the past three
years and handles the catching
chores adequately. He will also
be counted on heavily for his
hitting ability. Backing him up
is F>ank Gready, a junior letter-
man. Frank works hard and
within the past two years has
improved enough that he can be
substituted any time. He also can
handle an outfield position if the
need arises. Giving added depth
to the infield is Lynn Raby, a
freshman who can cover a lot of-
ground and if net^d be can play
either second base or third.
Outfield has depth
The squad has been well sup-
plied with outfielders this year.
The starters are Al Morris in
rightfield. Sonny Webb in center
field, and Junior Maietta in left-
field. Al is a real ball hawk and
has a fine arm even for his small
size. Al will be found on first-
base as a runner many times
this year. In center Sonny Webb
is so at home he muld sleep out
Back from last year are Jack
Llewellyn and Bob Nicholas.
Jack, a southpaw, has that magic
touch that all left banders have
way this year. All home games

Maryville's track squad was
overcome in their first home en-
counter by a strong aggregation
of tracksters from Cumberland
College, 97-48. The Scots not
only did poorly in the field
events, but did not come up to
expectations in the running de-
partments.
The Scots got off to a good
start by winning handily the
44()-yard relay in 45.6 seconds
(Leech, Cropper, Dalton, and
Craig). Again the Scots struck
in the 440-yard dash, with the
swift Dick Craig taking first
place in 53.2 seconds. Newcomer
Cole Piper placed third with a
fine effort. In the mile run fresh-
man Bob Cooper ran a commend-
able 4.35, good enough for an-
other first place for Maryville.
Hugh McCampbell, also in good
form, turned in a third place to
collect six points in this event
for the home team.
The remaining events seemed
to be dominated by the runners
from Kentucky. The mud-covered
track did not help matters. A
few bright spots for Maryville
were as follows: Mike Dalton
scored in two running events,
taking a third in the 100-yard
dash and a second in the 220;
Terry Amon placed third in the
120 highs; Rich Reed gave
Maryville a second in the 880-
yard run; in the 440 inter-
mediates, Bob Leech placed third
after taking a hard fall on the
sixth hurdle of the race; and
Bob Cooper turned in a fine
effort in the two mile run, tak-
ing a close second to Drake of
Cumberland, despite an amazing
final kick.
In the rain-soaked field events,
the Maryville weightmen were
out-scored by Cumberland 44-19,
with Maryville's only first com-
ing in the javelin. Greg Hallen,
undefeated in last year's competi-
tion, captured this first with a
toss of 163'. Ray Eaton rounded
out the scoring with a third in
this event. In the the disc, the
Scots Monroe Brown, a very pro-
mising freshman, and returning
letterman Cole Piper took 2nd
and 3rd respectively. In the
jumping pits, Dean Clark took a
third in the high jump and a
second in the hop, skip, and
jump, followed by John Mc-
Laughlin's third in the latter
event. In the pole vault letterman
Denny McGowan place third with
a vaplt of 10'4" Mike Dalton,
exhibiting the best jump of his
career, garnered a 2nd in the
broad jump.
SCOTS SPLIT WITH
NORTH GEORGIA
Jim Stiano cracked a pair of
homers and MC pulled a triple
play in the second game as the
Scots split a double-header with
North Georgia.
Stiano's second homer, a two-
run shot in the sixth, gave Mary-
ville the runs it needed for an
8-5 decision after the visitors h^d
racked up a 7-6 win in the open-
er.
Stiano's first round-tripper
capped a five- run seventh by MC
in the first game.

Dr. Jerry Waters, Associate
Professor of Psychology and
Ohairman of the Department of
Psychology at Maryville College,
spoke to the Blount County
parents of handicapped children
at a meeting at the County
Health United Tuesday, April
12, at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Waters
spoke to the parents on how best
to help children suffering from
physical, emotional or mental
handicaps.
The meeting was sponsored by
the parents of handicapped
children who organized to secure
the services of the Daniel Arthur
Rehabilitation Center in Oak
Ridge, now one of the agencies
aided by the Blount County
United Fund. W. H. Semmes of
the Maryville is President of the
group. There are now 13
children from the county en-
rolled in the program at Oak
Ridge.

Robert C. Ramger, Assistant
Professor of Biology at Mary-
ville College, has been chosen as
a participant in the Summer In-
stitute in Protozoology at the
University of California, Berke-
ley. The Institute is sponsored by
the National Science Foundation
and will last for six weeks.
Ramger's wife and family will
accompany him to California.
He has also had an article
publisihed in the February, 1966,
issue of "The American Biology
Teacher," a publication of the
National Association of Biology
Teachers. The article deals wit^
the study of parasites, and sug-
gests that a parasitic worm,
available from biological supply
houses, cauld be used in teach-
ing a general parasitology course.

by |ohn A.
PART
Some students expressed a de-
sire for more than two major
tests a semester; there were
those, however, who prefer hav-
ing just the two tests, and one
person advocated a nongrade
program (pass or fail) with a
number of personal teacher-stu-
dent conferences. The number of
tests a semester seems to be an
important issue for teachers to
consider; efforts should con-
tinually be made by teachers to
adapt their testing program ac-
cording to the manner which
would best facilitate students'
learning (this would naturally
vary with courses and the feel-
ings of the particular students
involved.) Most students agreed
that periodic quizzes aided learn-
ing, but that the quizzes could
be fairer, that often it seems as
if the teacher is trying to "shoot
them down" with trivial, tricky
questions.
It was an almost unanimous
concensus that teachers are will-
ing to show students personal
concern ; in most instances of a
student's hesitancy to talk over
a problem with a teacher, the
fault lay in the student's attitude,
not the teacher's willingness.
Following now are miscellane-
ous suggestions students made
toward bettering the educational
program:
Teachers should make a greater
effort to bring material iato con-
temporary terms.
Courses should be better co-
ordinated (both intradepartmental
and interdepartmental) ; the Phy-
chology and Sociology Departments
were mentioned specifically in this
respect.
Maryville College being a church-
rdlated college, the Bible and Re-
ligion Department should be far
stronger than it is.
Class attendance should not be
required; but class should be made
so vital that students feel the need
for attendance.
Seminars are especially effective.
The English Department should
expand its offerings on Shakespeare
Kerr. Jr.
II
and add a course on literary criti-
cism. A special 101-102 English
class for foreign students should be
arranged. There is a lack of "crea-
Hve" emphasis in the English De-
partment and too much stress on
scholarship for its own sake.
A student should be able to take
upper !evel nonmajor courses on
simply a pass or fail (credit or
noncredit) basis; in this way they
would not affect one's grade point
average, which would be determined
by only those grades achieved in
major courses.
Half-hour tests could replace hour
tests (naturally there would be
more of them a semester than there
are hour tests now.)
Students should be allowed a
more active role in learning — not
just expected to feed back lecture
material on tests.
Hopefully, this survey, by pre-
senting what we feel are repre-
sentative opinions of students,
will do much toward informing
teachers and administrtitors of
our estimation and analysis of
the present education program at
Maryville. If it does this, it will
have been a successful step in
improving the communication
between students and faculty.
Using this study as a basis, per-
haps students and teachers could
continue to consider constructive
improvements through personal
conferences and small student-
faculty discussions (of which
there are a few already meeting.)
In' conclusion we would like
to add a word of caution to stu-
dents looking for perfection in
their professors; as one senior
said, "Ideal teachers are as rare
as ideal students." And on the
same questionnaire appeared an
articulate summary statement
challenging both teachers and
students as to their educational
role: "It is the responsibility of
teachers always to improve and
validate their courses, and it is
the responsibility of the students
to balance by their own efforts
what they may feel is lacking in
a course.

At last Saturday's Chapel, Dr.
Copeland announced that two
changes would go into effect im-
mediately — smoking was per-
missable in the student center
and dorm returning hours for
women on Sunday nights had
been changed from 7:30 to
10:30. Dr. Copeland also explain-
ed that thorough studies are
underway by the Dean's and ap-
propriate student dorm groups
concerning dorm life.
The remarks made by Dr.
Copeland on Saturday carried
more, however, than just an an-
nouncement that certain rules
had been changed. He went on
to explain the hours of hard
work that concerned students and
faculty through regular student-
faculty groups, have been spend-
ing in an effort to understand
what Maryville College should be.
Small group meetings, which
split and form new groups, meet
informally to throw out ideas,
suggestions, and impressions. A
long, deep and hopefully, an
honest look is being taken by our
college community into its pur-
pose and structure (academical-
ly, socially, and spiritually).!
What is needed now is a barrage
of ideas. "What would you like
Maryville College to be?" Last
Saturday's Chapel carried a mes-
sage of change to be sure, but,
more than that, it carried an
invitation for anyone with a con-
cern and ideas to join in the
current discussion and evaluation
here at Maryville. What is good?
What should be discarded? Do
you have any ideas? The best
results will be gained when the
faculty and student body join in
an open dialogue of mutual con-
cern.

It was a hard hike — I had to take 32 rest stops . . . You can
get a D on comps and still get out ... I went to the student center
to have a cigarette — I never even smoked before . . . It's the
ugliest card I've ever seen — I got it for Dr. Hunter . . . I say
"Seen and Heard's" all the time but nobody recognizes them . . . It's
all right because they're engaged ... He needs a 4.5 this semester
to graduate . . . Dr. Swenson said: "When the Echo presents a chal-
lenge I rise up to it." — a beige raincoat!
A number of the freshmen who
participated in this year's orienta-
tion program expressed concern
about the program held last fall
October — December, and their
comments seemed significant en-
ough to warrent an appraisal of
the whole situation. A recom-
mendation was made to the stu-
dent Council, by Dean Fuhr,
that the freshmen representatives
on the council along with in-
terested classmates meet to con-
sider the issue. The committee
was formed and on the March
31, 1966 they requested a meet-
ing with Dean Fuhr.
The committee feels that it is
important to carry out some basic
parts of the orientation program
the week of the students arrival.
In the past we have had just
two days for such activities,
Tuesday and Wednesday, of the
opening week of school. Even
these days have not been entirdy
fr^ for orientation activities
since there have been several
tests which consume the time oi
some or all freshmen. Assuming
that these tests will be needed
again next fall a recomendation
was made by the committee to
lengthen the orientation week.
The administrative staff accepted
the recommedaticm and postponed
the beginning of classes until
Monday Sept. 19, thus allowing
the wei of Sept. 12, for orienta-
tion.
The committee also feels that
incoming students should meet
with their advisors belore re-
gistration at which time a pro-
gram concerning the offerings of
the various departm«its would be
presented. Other considerations
for orientation during this week
are: college regulations, various
campus activities and the various
organizations. Dean Fuhr has
also submitted a suggestion that
a one hour semester course be
offered on study techniques.
TTie majority of the students
on the committee feel that the
incoming freshmen shouldn't
be spoon fed; that the orienta-
tion discussions should be ones
that will give the facts and the
true reasons behind them. It is
also felt that several orientati(Mi
meetings dealing with provoca-
tive topics will be needed after
classes begin. However, plans for
these topics are still being dis-
cussed and will not be available
till later this month. Any reaction
to the work already completed
is welcomed by any freshmen
officer.

CDITCI^IAL CIJTLCCr
Have you noticed, a change in atmosphere since last Saturday?
Have you heard kids (that for years have said the same thing that
Schellenger did in his letter) sudtlenly ask what in the worid was
the matter with that guy? Said one, "I sure do hope Dean Fuhr
realizes that was only an individual opinion." And all this because
of one 15-minute announcement by President Copeland. Amazing,
isn't it?
O.K.', now what? It's rather obvious that our previous charge
of administrative indifference is now quite invalid. No longer can
we say that our pleas and suggestions fall on deaf ears; nor can
we benvoan the alleged inability of Executive Council to take action.
A faculty member last week said, "What do you students reaUy
want?" We aren't sure — maybe it's room to breathe, room to grow,
room to learn. Then, on the other hand, maybe it's the freedom of
responsibility for which we are grasping so desperately. The world
pushes freedom on us from every direction; Anderson Hall is join-
ing the trend. We've asked and we're being given. What next?
Our chaplain has said that if students were treated as ladies
and gentlemen, then they would respond as such. Would we? Are
we mature enough to accept the serious nature of the demands on
us which are required with every liberating action?
In writing of the decline of Athens, Edith Hamilton said,
"When the freedom they wished for
most was freedom from responsibility,
then Athens ceased to be free and
was never free again."
Sorrow
I can only share your Sorrow;
Never ask me to explain It.
You have not offered to share;
I came, not willingly — even despairingly —
But could I have stayed away?
0 Little One, how can you stand the Pain?
Has all been* in vain?
Joy was ours for but a moment,
joy and Sorrow have been ours.
In which lies our love only God knows.
And he will nover tell.

The Newport Festival will not be held in Newport this year nor
will it be a festival as previously planned and ordained by pre-
cedent. The Salem trials are sdheduled to resume and it is felt that
the needless strain of competition between the two events can be
relaxed by foresight. Sir Winston (of Parliament and other recessed
hovels) said we were "Lucky." This statement was reiterated by
the Duke of Marlboro from his palatial mansion at Kent. His son
Chester felt differently, however, and his reply was, "Flogging more
now but enjoying it less? Try Adolph's Meat Tenderizer and get
aVi the juices. You can't beat it. (You won't even want to.)"

Dale, I think you reflect the
aspirations of a great numher
of students when you advocate
changing the boorish-seeming
rules of this institution. How-
ever, I am in violent disagree-
ment with your basic attitude
toward rules in general. You
have stressed in part of your
editorial commentary the neces-
sity of mature individuals mak-
ing their own statutory decisions;
in other words, if you don't hap-
pen to agree with a law, break
it. How anarchistic can you get?
What can you really hope to gain
by functioning as a one-man con-
gress? Freedom? Come off it!
If everyone chose conscience
over necessity, chaos and per-
petually non-constructive friction
would plague mankind until he
sank back into prebarbarianism.
But must man be merdy a
social cog in a vast bureaucratic
machine? I^t's face it! Man is
a social animal. He has achieved
pinnacles of cultural attainment
working in concert with other
beings bound by common ties —
racial, cultural, political, econo-
mic, emotional (although race is
non-essential). You are an in-
tegral part of a society, Dale —
this society.
You are not operating in a
sociological vacuum; neither do
1 think you stupid enough to
liide completely your mind in
existential philosophy like an
ostrich head in sand. Dale, why
don't you take into account the
reasons for rules instead of
merely chafing against them?

and healthy one — and its results
are obvious. There is much more
to come.
The faculty and administration
are spending long and agonizing
hours in honest examination of
Maryville College. The student
opinion, when mature, is being
given careful attention. The
Board of Directors, when it meets
in May, is going to be confronted
with numerous recommendations
and reports which deal with the
very heart of this place. We are
going to change — and just as
soon as pos'sible.
We — now — have a definite job.
We can dispose of the idea that
Anderson Tower is out to ^aft
us. It isn't. Exceptions? — maybe.
But the time has come for us to
assume that the Other Side is
really honest. There — ^now — is
just no other way to progress.
The Other Way failed badly.
Sounds rosy. It isn't. Never
will everyone be satisfied. We
may still be dumped upon, but

hope not. Let's get behind this

4-The Highland Echo, April 23. 1966
Track Lose to Emory
A sunny day in Atlanta, Georgia at Emory University's track
was the scene of the Scot track team's second loss of the 1966
season. Again it was the cast of being outclassed in the field events
which meant defeat for the struggling thinclads.
Sig Notes Bachus Wins 3rd
Maryville held their own in
the area of the running events by
taking six out of ten possible
first places. The 440 relay team
was again victorious with a time
of :45.4 (Leach, Dalton, Crop-
per, Craig). It turned out to be
the most exciting race of the day
as Dick Craig nosed out his man
,at the finishing line by just a
fraction of an inch. Bob Cooper,
improving his mile time by
several seconds, again won this
event with a time of 4:32.3,
setting the track meet record at
Emory. Later in the day, in
grand style, Cooper won the 2
mile run (10:11.5). The 440
yard dash was won by Dick
Craig with the best time this
year in that event, :52.8. In the
880 yard run Rich Reed placed
first with a 2:01.9 and Bob
Leach was the Maryville wirmei
in the 330 intermediate hurdles
(:41.8).
Second Place Difference
The difference was in the
number of second places which
the Scots managed to gamer.
Mike Dalton, top point man for
the team, took second in the 100
and it was Craig again in the
220 with a second place. Hugh
McCampbell placed third in two
events for the Scots, scoring
points in both the mile and the
880. Terry Amon managed a
third place in the 120 highs and
Dalton ended his day with a
third in the 220.
The field events were swept by
Emory University — no first
place wins were to be had by the
Scots. However in the shot put
Steve Worrell took a third place,
as did Monroe Brown in the
discus. In the pole vault event,
McGowan took a second and
Joe Malloy a third. In the high
jump it was the same story with
Maryville taking a second and
a third with the jumping of
Dunson and Dean Qark, re-
spectively.
The team of Malloy and Dalton
took another second and third in
the broad jump. In the triple
jump the Scots could manage
only a third place spot via the
efforts of John Mclaughlin. For
the first time in two years Greg
Hallen was beaten in the javelin.
Hallen did manage a second
while Danny Styles took third
place.
MC Drops Two
The Scot baseballers lost a pair
of games this last week to drop
their over-all season record to
5-6. Emory and Henry squeaked
by the Scots 5-4 last Friday at
Emory. Jack Llewellyn in relief
of Bob Nidholas took the loss for
Maryville to put his won and
loss record for the year at 2-2.
Tuesday in a body protested
game Carson Newman downed
the Scots 11-7 at Maryville. The
Scots spotted the Eagles an early
6 run lead as they gave them 4
runs in the first inning and one
in the second and third innings.
Then Jack Llewellyn, the Mary-
ville starter, settled down and
blanked the Eagles until the ninth
inning when he was apparently
upset by a hotiy disputed call by
the plate umpire. The umpire
later admitted to making a bad
call, but he refused to change his
decision. A home run by Sonny
Hughes, his third of the year,
that would have tied the game
for the Scots in the eighth inning
went to no avail when Sonny
missed second base. The Scots
bravely tried to come back and
actually out hit C-N in the game
10-9 but the effort fell short after
the Eagles scored four in the
closing inning.
The Alpha Sigma Society
evened the Stinkin' Shoe com-
petition at one and one with a
68-49 basketball victory over
Phi. Big guns for the Sig team
were Junior Maietta and Rip van
Agnew. The undefeated Sledge-
hammer Softball team is tied for

The big sticks of the Maryville
Scots came alive last Saturday
against Mars Hill here at Mary-
ville as the Scots blasted 14 hits
for 11 runs. The Scots ace right-
hander, Jim Bachus, scatter^ 8
Mars Hill hits and allowed only
2 runs as he posted his third
victory of the year.
John Maietta and Bob Nicholas
had home runs for the Scots.
Nicholas's blast came in the
second inning following singles
by Jim Staiano and John Agnew,
and Maietta clouted his with one
man on base in the fourth in-
ning. Maietta, who had a field
day against Mars Hill pitching,
belted a two run triple in the
seventh to top off the Scot at-

Or. Ferris of
Ferozepur to
Speak at Vespers
Ferozepur has become a fami-
liar word around Maryville Col-
lege this year in connection with
the Fred Hope Fund. Money
raised by the students and
faculty this year and in years
past has been sent to the Frances
Newton Hospital in Ferozepur,
India, under the direction of Dr.
Dorothy Lee Ferris. This weekend
Maryville College will have the
chance to find out exactly what
achievements have resulted from
her aid and support. Dr. Ferris
will be the speaker at Vespers
tomorrow evening and will be
in the Lantern afterward to talk
to students who are interested in
seeing the-place-where-we-send-
money become a reality.
Hospital widely known
Dr. Ferris is a graduate of
Maryville College and the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati Medical
School. On an extended furlough
during the early part of World
War n, she completed post-
graduate work in New York and
served for eight months on the
medical staff of the National
Missions Hospital at Embudo,
New Mexico. Dr. Ferris went to
India in 1935 under the appoint-
ment of the former Board of
Foreign Missions of the Presby-
terian Church, U.S.A. and be-
came the director of the hospital
the following year. The Frances
Newton Hospital cares for more
than five thousand inpatients a
year and serves an additional
ten thousand through the out-
patient clinic. A fine staff of
Indian colleagues and a wide-
spread reputation has developed
under the guidance of Dr. Ferris.
Dangerous periods common
During the war the hospital
rendered unusual service in the
community and received official
recognition for its work. Dr.
Ferris was awarded the Kaiser-i-
Hind medal for public service in
India. In 1947, the hospital was
again able to provide outstand-
ing service as it was located in
the center of the communal up-
risings that followed the partition
of India and Pakistan. Only a
few months later in October,
1947, when disastrous floods
swept the Punjab, the hospital,
though seriously damaged, was
commended for carrying on un-
interrupted service. Dr. Ferris
was given extraordinary mention
in military dispatches for her
faithfulness to duty in the period
of danger.
Dr. Ferris honored for achievements
During her years in India, Dr.
Ferris has been a member of
the executive councils of the
Punjab Mission and Sy nodical
Boards, chairman of the Medical
Board (of the Synodical Boards),
chairman of the governing body
of the Women's Christian Medi-
cal College at Ludhiana, presi-
dent for one term of the Feroze-
pur division of the Indian Medi-
cal Society, part-time lecturer for
the Dev Samaj Women's (lollege
at Ferozepur, and an examiner in
surgery and anatomy for the
Punjab Government Nurses Re-
gistration Council.

''Androcles and
tlie Lion"
The College and the com-
munity are looking forward to
the third dramatic production
of the College Playhouse's sea-
son, "Androcles and the LiOn,"
scheduled to be performed on
May 13 and 14, and again on
May 31 as tlie Commencement
Play. One of George Bernard
Shaw's satires, it is directed by
Thomas E. Jones and involves
24 Maryville students.
The plot is based on an an-
cient fable of a Christian, And-
drocles, who removes a thorn
from a lion's paw. When they
meet again as opponents in a
Roman arena, the lion refuses to
harm Androcles. A greater ap-
peal, however, is found in the
satirical aspect of the play,
which slashes at the excessive
piety and hypocrisy of organized
Christianity, in Shaw's finest
style. The players use elaborate
costumes and a very simple,
stylized stage set to focus the
production on the action and
dialogue.
Andy Kuhlin plays Androcles
and Marty Miller the lion, sup-
ported by Dale Schellenger as
the Emperor, Doug Price as the
Captain, Stuart Smith as Lentu-
lus and as Secutor, Louis New-
men as Metellus, Jim Pryor as
Ferrovious, Ron Fagan as Spin-
tho, and Bill Remenschneider
as the Centurion. Others in the
cast are John Weiler as the Edi-
tor, Eugene Keeler as the Call
Boy, Michael Chomyk as Retiar-
ius, Phil DerPilbosian as the
Menagerie Keeper, Joanne Gid-
ley as Megaera, and Diane Cay-
lor as Lavinia. The Christians,
a chorus, include Celia Tiffany,

perception of the factors in-
volved in selecting, planning, and
carrying out a research project.
Eggers, an honor student at
Maryville, is a three-year letter-
man on the Maryville football
team. He is a graduate of Mary-
ville Hifrh School.

Maryville College has received
a generous grant from the Lilly
Endowment, Inc. of Indianapolis,
Indiana, to provide enrichment
of the College's curricular pro-
gram. A portion of the grant will
be used in the second semester
of the academic year 1966-67 to
offer an interdisciplinary honors
seminar under the title "Ameri-
can Studies: 20th Century Inter-
pretations." This seminar wiU in-
volve the departments of Bible,
Philosophy, and Religion; Eco-
nomics; Education; English;
History; Political Science; and
Sociology, and will be open to a
limited number of juniors and
seniors of ability and scholarship
from these departments. Pro-
jects in other areas will be avail-
able later under this grant.
Lectures open to public
This course will include lecture
and discussion sessions under six
eminent scholars in the fields
mentioned above. Each scholar
will be a visitor on our campus
for two periods of several days
each during the second semester,
1966-67. It has been necessary to
schedule the seminar consider-
ably in advance, in order to
secure the services of the scholars
invited to participate. Dr. Robert
E. Brown, of the History De-
partment of Michigan State Uni-
versity, is serving as consultant
for the seminar and has already
visited our campus. Dr. Ains-
worth, of our facidty, will be co-
ordinator of the seminar. In ad-
dition to the seminar the visiting
scholars wiU give lectures open

EDITCI^IAL CLTLCer
A topic of recent discussion in the student-faculty "talk groups''
and with President Copeland has been the Department of Bible and
Christian Education. Because the consensus has been that this depart-
ment is generally deficient, we have wondered why and what could
be done to improve it.
It seems that a student -from high school expects, whether con-
sciously or not, his college years to be a time of religious testing
and indecision. He has been raised, more than likely, in a Protestant-
oriented home where religion was a matter of habit and tradition.
Suddenly separated from the home environment, he begins to rebel
and question the basis for his inherited beliefs. Therefore, he enters
Bible courses (such as 101, 102) with battles to wage and questions
to ask and problems to be considered.
Instead of a free, academic situation in these courses, the
student is often faced with exactly the same kind of material and
interpretation which plagued him in previous years. No questions
are asked because no answers are volunteered; no battles are waged
because there is no one with whom to fight; no problems are con-
sidered because the results are predetermined. So, he sits in his
Bible class, learns his Sunday School lesson, and parrots back the
desired information on tests, quizzes, and the like.
Now then, that is the problem. The solution? (1) Modem
theological interpretations must be acknowledged and discussed.
(2) Individual teacher viewpoints should be subordinated to a more
objective consideration of the material. (3) When needed, time
should be given to student disbelief or "rebellion." (4) Tests should
not be the same from year to year and should allow for individual
interpretations of the subject covered. (5) Bible courses should have
more teaching and less preaching.
It must be remembered that there are exceptions to this de-
ficiency in the present department. Unfortunately, they are far too
few, and the majority of students remain bored to death in what
could well prove to be some of the most exciting courses in the
curriculum.

The seminar will usually meet
several hours each week, althoug'h
the particular times will need
to be adjusted to the availability
of the visiting lecturers. To pro-
vide for this variation, Monday
evenings from 7 to 10 and Friday
afternoons from 3:30 on will be
kept free, although it is not likely
that both periods will be used in
any single week, and other times
will probably need to be found in
some weeks.
In general it is planned that
each of the six visiting scholars
will be on campus in two dif-
ferent weeks during the semester.
There will be a considerable
amount of reading and some
writing assigned by each of the
six lecturers. Dr. Ainsworth will
be responsible for administering
these assignments, keeping con-
tact with the participating scho-
lars, and maintaining the con-
tinuity of the course.
Each student accepted for this
course must be approved by the
chairman of his department.
Juniors beginning Independent
Study in the second semester
next year, who are eligible for
the American Studies seminar,
might in some instances plan
their subjects to take advantage
of the seminar for the enrich-
ment of their Independent Stu-
dies. This would not lessen, of
course, the time and effort re-
quired for each course.
by John A. Kerr, Jr.
Once upon a time in the Valley of the Shadow of the World
there was an isolated little chicken farm. It was run by a farmer
and his wife, and they had a foreman plus several hired hands to
assist them. They were all nice cooperative folk — all, that is, ex-
cept for a few of the hired hands, who were too set in their ways.
And it was hard for the farmer and his foreman to deal with these
difficult hands because, for the most part, they were the ones with
seniority.
The pride and joy of the operators of this chicken farm were
the plump white chickens which they raised. These chickens were
managed so meticulously that they had developed a lack of concern
beyond belief. When a new batch of chicks arrived they always
seemed more independent, more vigorous than the older chickens.
But within a few weeks, or at most months, the new chicks acted
just like the more experienced ones.
The chicken farm had main- demands; if we give them the

what's more, all the freedom-
loving chickens pay homage to
their "deliverer" by laying two
grade-A eggs before his giant
replica every day. I know ... it
is an established fact that
chickens can lay only one egg
a day. Well, from now on don't
underestimate the power of a
wonder-rooster.

Letter Received from Viet Nam Soldier
Today there are close to 300,000 American soldiers in Viet Nam.
There are many times that number of young men in America who
are eligible for service there — some of these are serving their
country by getting an education; some are merely doing their best
not to go. The following is an excerpt from a letter received by a
student on campus from a volunteer helicopter pilot two weeks
before his departure for Saigon. Every American, especially draft-
age Americans, should know how these young men feel about their
mission — about their cause.
"Our orders for reporting in Viet Nam have been moved up
from 1 April to 20 March so our leaves will be cut short by ap-
proximately a week. I am really looking forward to going to Viet
Nam, although not so eager to go in my designated capacity. But
there has been so much said about that little country that I would like
to see for myself. No matter how truthful reporters try to be, some
things are left out and others added so people can't see the situation
as it actually exists. Also the situation is not the same for people who
hear and read about it as it is for ones directly involved. It may be
because time is getting short for going over there, but I'm not
optimistic about coming back or coming back a whole person. I have
been blessed many times and in many ways by God and for this
reason I have a feeling that my time will come while doing some-
thing meaningful. I don't feel that I will die a useless and insignificant
death — there have been too many times that I could have died had
He wished. I didn't mean to get into this and it's not a very pleasant
subject, but it's what I beh'eve. I didn't put this in to try to shock
you — I just wanted to get it out of me. This is the most I have
written to anyone in a long time."
This soldier would be a junior in colleg:e. Would you feel this way?
by Jim Gifford
Less than fifty years ago, the follownig poem was published in
the Maryville College CHILHOWEAN:
ADVICE TO GIRLS
Now, girls don't you see
Cooperation there must be!
Do not stand at the door —
"Goodnight" once, but no more.
At five o'clock boys must go,
Even though you hate it so.
Parlor doors leave ajar.
Lest your character you mar.
Don't complain at the feed —
You get all you really need.
If for mail you wait a week —
Smile, be patient, and be meek!
At the movies don't be seen —
They show wicked things on the screen.
During study hours quiet be —
Miss Marshall wants to sleep, you see.
Be dignified when to town you walk —
The men down there are bound to talk.
To Church and Sabbath School do go —
It helps your reputation so.
Girls, be modest in your dress —
Then the boys will stare much less.
Be respectful; grateful, too—
Remember what is done for you!
Had I never gone to Maryville College, I would never have
believed any twentieth century educational institution could have
advocated such a social policy — ^^however . .
A twentieth century education seems to lose some of its mean-
ingfulness if it is acquired in a nineteenth century social atmosphere.
Change is not necessarily inevitable; it must be worked for —
sometimes fought for. Recently, we have made a slight crack in the
anacronistic social policy at this school. Slight cracks can be covered
over; let us not be satisfied and complacent.
We care enough about education to spend four years and ten
thousand dollars at Maryville College. Should we not then care
enough to make Maryville College a place where we enjoy spending
our time and money?
Perhaps, a few years hence, students will look at the social
system of 1966 and laugh — just as we laugh at the one presented
m the poem above; they will laugh and then wonder how in the
world young people seeking an education managed to exist and
survive in such a dictated and paternalistic atmosphere.
People Sounas
I sit here alone,
hearing people-sounds
outside my window.
People sounds —
emotions, laughs.
Why aren't I laughing too?
I can't laugh,
for there is only this emptiness
inside me.
An emptiness that becomes so oppressive
it periodically swells and ruptures itself
into sobs.
People sounds —
people who neither know
what they're doing,
nor care why they're doing it.
So they laugh,
they cry,
they despair,
they love,
they die.
In vain?
Perhaps.

TOE COillll
by Mouses Housepian
Vahan's inseparable companion at
the age of three was his red chair.
He used to drag it behind him from
place to place. One day while he
was taking his friend downstairs,
he lost his balance and found him-
self in front of the outside door of
the house with a broken leg and
a fractured skull. It took him quite
a long time to recuperate, but he
still did not forget his favourite-
chair.
In his kindergarten classes he
used to carry the chair with him
from one class to the other. He used
to pay much more attention to it
than his satchel or anything else.
For him the chair was everything.
Years went by, but Vahan grew
only physically and eventually had
to drop out of school. His father
tried all possible means to secure
Vahan an education, but all his ef-
forts turned out to be fruitless.
The poor father, who hadn't had
the chance of getting a college
education Nmself, had experienced
the hardships of life. So he had
saved every single penny to give
his only child Vahan a college educa-
tion. But, unfortunately, none of his
dreams were materialized and his
castles remained built in the air.
And now reluctantly and with a
broken heart he had to give up the
idea of education and apprentice
Vahan to a carpenter.
The carpenter was a wolf in
sheep's clothing. He had twice been
caught red-handed in acts of rob-
bery, but this was kept secret. The
police kept it confidential to try to
catch the whole gang of his, so he
was under close surveillance by the
pclice.
The carpenter's shop had become
a nest for a bunch of illiterate
youngsters who used to meet every
day. They were planning to rob a
wealthy man who owned a furniture
factory on the other side of the
street. Now Vahan was twenty years
old, and it had been his seventh
year in that workshop. He had
changed completely. He was tread-
ing the footsteps of his master. He
was almost one of the members of
the gang.
Finally the day came when the
robbery was going to take place.
They were five: Vahan, his boss,
and three other juvenile delinquents.
The time was set for twelve mid-
night. At twelve o'clock they were
in front of the doof of the factory.
Using a master-key, in a few min-
utes they were in. They took the
things they wanted (besides
money), and alt of them got out
except Vahan. He had noticed at
the last moment a beautiful chair
which was probably made for a
nobleman or the mayor of the town.
For a few moments he was puzzled
whether to take it. But at last he
made a positive decision. So he
carried the chair and was on his
way out when he suddenly stumbled
with it. By accident the night
watchman who was passing by,
heard a noise and went to the
direction where the noise came
from. Vahan was still on the ground
with that chair; nobody had come
to his rescue. His friends had al-
ready gone. Vahan was caught red-
handed, but beirvg young and strong,
he attacked with that heavy chair
and left the old watchman dead on
the ground. But it was too late —
the night police had come.
Vahan was imprisoned and kept for
trial. The judges after taking long
consideration of the case, were un-
animous in their decision. The ver-
dict was guilty. The sentence for
first degree murder was the electric
chair.
Poor Vahan (even at the end of
his life) a chair was his immortal
friend and destroyer as well.

Peace Corps Announces
11 Training Courses
For College Juniors
May 20 is the deadline to en-
roll in 11 Peace Corps training
courses for college juniors to he
held this summer at U. S. univer-
sities, the Peace Corps an-
nounced in Washington, D. C.
Peace Corps officials advised
that students enroll immediately
because of the time required to
process the applications. "The
sooner the better," they said.
The courses — 10 starting in
June and the other in July — are
designed to enable future Volun-
teers to integrate Peace Corps
training with their senior year
of college. E^ch course' runs 10
weeks.
Juniors qualified to enter the
Advance Training Program will
be prepared for assignments in
14 countries. The assignments
cover community and agricul-
t u r a 1 development, secondary
education and teaching English
in French-speaking West Africa.
In their final year of college,
the trainees' courses of study may
be tailored to fit their Peace
Corps training. The ATP en-
rollees will complete their train-
ing in special field programs the
summer of 1967.
A Peace Corps loan fund for
ATP enrollees helps cover the
loss of income trainees might
have otherwise earned from sum-
mer employment. Trainees may
borrow up to $6(K) at low interest
rates to pay expenses during
their final year in school.
ATP was begun in 1964 as a
solution to the increasing dif-
ficulty in preparing Volunteers
for certain assignments. Some
Volunteers, for example, must
learn two languages to handle
their work effectively. ATP gives
the Peace Corps 15 months to
prepare the Volunteer instead of
the normal three.
Courses to be held this sum-
mer:
1 ) Bolivia Community Develop-
ment. Studies include community

Track Team Should Be Best Ever ScotS Rout C-N
This year could be the best
ever for the Scot thinclads. The
running events will be this
strongest part for the track team.
The dashes will be well taken
care of by Dick Craig, Mike
Dalton. Joe Malloy and freshman
Al Cropper. The middle distances
are taken care of by Dick Craig
in 440 and Rich Reed, Hugh
McCampbell and Brian Childs in
the 880. The half-mile should be
another Scot strong point with
Reed and McCampbell both cap-
able of 2 minute times. The long
distances of a mile and 2 mile
are taken care of by Bob Cooper,
Brian Childs and Bill Evaul.
The hurdlers are headed by
senior letterman Terry Amon
who runs the highs. Bob Leach
is the Maryville entry in the
440 intermediate hurdles. This
is a new race for the Scots since
we have just become an active
member of the N.C.A.A.
The field events include two
categories: jumping and weight,
the jumping events. Dean Clark
and Les Dunson will be high
jumping around 6 ft. Joe Malloy
and Denny McGowan will con-
tinue to go even higher than last
year's ITS" in the pole vault.
While they're concentrating on
going up the Scot broad jumpers
will be going out farther than
usual this year. Joe Malloy and
Mike Dalton take care of their
department. Another new event
is added this year — the triple
jump and it is done by McLaugh-
lin. With the weights, Greg Hal-
len, Ray Elaton, and Danny
Styles will be taking their turns
in throwing the javelin. The shot
put is done by Pat O'Brien while
Cole Piper is doubling as a dis-
cus thrower and a sprinter in
the 440 yd. dash.
Two of the most important
events of the track meet are the
relays. Last yeajr's 440 yard
.elay team went undefeated. It
looks like another year of the
same, with Dick Craig, Bob
Leach, Joe Malloy and Al Crop-
per running. The mile-relay team
is composed of Bob Leach, Dick
Craig, Cole Piper and Rich Reed.
The reason that the relays are
so important is that the winner
gets 5 points and the loser none.
This year's trackteam hopes to
make it a very successful season.
To do this they need your sup-
port. So get behind the spring
sports and cheer your favorites
on to victory.

The Scot tracksters broke a
four-meet losing streak by over-
whelming arch-rival Carson New-
man by a score of 95 to 50. The
Maryville boys absconded with
14 of 17 first places and a con-
siderable amount of second and
third place finishes.
Field-men improve
The weight men showed the
most improvement and really pro-
vided the impetus for the rout.
The Scots fared especially well
this turn, bringing home 5 1st
places in the field events (which
might be a record) . Pat O'Bryan
took first in the shot with a win-
ning toss of 36' 14", his best this
year, and Steve Worrell came up
to take second place. A first and
second were also taken in the
discus by Brown and Piper re-
spectively. Brown's winning
throw was a respectable 123' 2",
also his best effort of the year.
Jumping a height of 11' 6", Den-
ny McGowan took first place in
the pole vault. Malloy followed
up to take third place.
Dean Clark, boasting his best
jump of the season, dove into
first place with a high jump of
5' 10". In the broad jump the
Scots did not fare as well, but
Mike Dalton did salvage a third
place. In the javelin, Greg Hallen
garnered first place with a throw
of 158' 11". Ray Eaton took
third place. Finally, in the triple
jump, Dalton gave the Scots a
second.
Scots Take Track Events
Maryville completely outclass-
ed the Eagles in all of the run-
ning events, capturing 9 out of
10 first places. The 440 relay
squad composed of Leach, Dal-
ton, Craig, and Cropper turned
in a fine winning time of :45.1.
In the mile run, Cooper ran an
amazing 4:27.6, the best mile
time Maryville has seen in many
years. Hugh McCampbell placed
third. Dick Craig ran for first
place in the 440 yard dash
(:52.1) and Cole Piper finished
third. Dalton churned up the
cinders for a :10.5 100 yard
dash, and Terry Amon ran a
flight of 120 high hurdles for
second place. In the 880 yard
dash, it was Rich Reed and Mc-
Campbell placing one and two
(2:04.0). Craig stole another
first in the 220 (:23.5) and
Dalton a second.
This was the day for good
times as Bob Leach found out
in the 440 yard intermediate
hurdle race. He ran his best for
his career with a :57.8. Amon
placed 3rd. Cooper ran away
with the 2 mile in good time
(10:07.7) and Bill Evaul placed
third with a good effort. The
mile relay team closed out the
day in grand style, winning this'
event by almost 75 yards (Leach,
Piper, Reed, Craig — 3:32.5).
Scots watch Bob Cooper as he leads the Maryville milers at Emory.
Cumberland and Sewanee Outpoint Maryville
The thinclads of Sewanee over-
powered the Scotties in track by
a score of 86 to 59. Again Mary-
ville was weak in the weight
events, scoring in only six out
of a possible 21 places.
Monroe Brown managed a
good toss in the discus for a first
place as did the winning Greg
riallen in the javelin. Clark and
Dunson scored in usual fashion
in the high jump, taking second
and third, respectively. It was
Mike Dalton taking a third in
the broad jump for Maryville as
John McLaughlin did in the
triple jump.
Runners score well
The Scots were more success-
ful in the running department,
gathering 5 of 10 first places.
Cooper was first in the mile with
Hugh McCampbell coming from
behind for a second place. Dick
Craig won the 440 in fine style
and Dalton and Cropper placed
second and third in the 100 yard
dash (in that order). Terry
Amon was fast enough for a
second in the 120 high hurdles
as was Rich Reed in the 880
yard dash. Craig scored once
more in the 220 dasih with a 3rd
and running-mates Leach and
Amon placed first and third re-
spectively in the 440 yard inter-
mediate hurdles. Once again in
the 2-mile, Bob "the phenom"
Cooper took an easy first, with
Bill Evaul capturing a second.
iVlaryville's mile relay team
(Leach, Piper, Reed, and Craig)
finished the day on the right
foot, taking a first and five points
in this last event of the day.
Oh, well ...
On a scorching not, gusty day
Maryville College ran against a
strong team of Cumberland In-
dians and were soundly defeated.
Some attribute the loss to the
poor gravel track, others to fati-
gue. The scores are not really
that important, as many of the
Scot team members will attest,
"it is how the game was played."

Netters Lead Spring Sports
The Scot netmen, 8-1 en-
tered the Tennessee Intercol-
legiate Athletic Conference
Tournament at iMiddle Tennessee
State University in Murfrees-
horo. Alan Marshall, number five
singles player, turned the best
periormance as he gained the
semitinais of his division. This
week the netters travelled to
Georgia and INorth Carolina to
play lour matches before re-
turning to play Emory and Henry
^^n the home courts.
I he team's victories include
wins over L.M.U. twice (7-2, 9-
Oj, Berry (9-0), Mars Hill (6-1 j,
Western Carolina (4-3), Grand
Rapids, Mich. (7-0 j, Asheville-
Hiltmore (6-0), and Milligan
(6-3). The Scots' lone defeat
came at the hands of Tenn. Wes-
ley an (8-1). The team includes
Lynn Howard, Rich Marshall,
Pete Park, Cotton Lambert, Alan
Marshall, and Bill Gass. Becky
Sankner, tennis whiz from Flori-
da, holds the number seven posi-
tion. However, Becky has parti-
cipated in two matches and the
Dogwood Arts Tournament in
Knoxville where she advanced to
the semifinal round.
Pairing in the doubles com-
petition for the Scots are How-
ard-R. Marshall, Park-A. Mar-
shall, and Lambert-Gass. In
match play this season, Park and
Lambert sport the top singles
records, while the team of Lam-
bert-Gass is undefeated in dou-
bles action.
Coach Kardatzke says that this
year's team is probably the
strongest since he has been at
Maryville. This has proven true
so far this year, however, the
netters still have six matches re-
maining including a return
match with Tenn Wesleyan and
one against a strong Carson-
Nrvvman squad.
Leading the squad is Senior
Lynn Howard, Maryville High
School graduate and three-year
letterman for the Scots. Howard's
powerful serve and strong fore-
hand, plus good range on the
court, should keep him in the
major tennis action this spring.
Another Senior, Bill Gass, also
a Maryville High graduate, letter-
ed last year for the Scots, and
is called a "strong, down-the-line
player" by Coach Kardatzke.
Gass is a hard worker whose
powerful ground strokes have
kept him in the forefront in the
scheduled matches.
Sophomore Pete Park, another
Maryvillian, is a challenge to
Howard for the number one spot
on the squad. Park's hard serve
and steady game have kept him
in action.
S c o 1 1 i e freshman Richard
Lambert s good serve and fore-
hand shots made him one of the
runners-up last year in the state
high school doubles champion-
ship.
Two Marshall brothers from
Wilmington, Del., Richard and
Alan, are standouts for the Scots.

Howard and Park for the top
spot. He is being counted on for
a strong serve and good fore-
hand. Alan, who played in the
number two position in the Del-

team last year, also has an out-

ground game.
Rebecca Sankner from St.

side of the Scot netman this year.
A sophomore who transferred to
"Maryville, she will rank fourth,

cording to Coach Kardatzke. A

Scream if you dare hear your silence.
Search through dark corners of the mind
into places unknown, unaware and afraid.
Deafness of people's voices hears
only one's thoughts in the mist of unawareness.
Awake in the wonder of morning knowing
this moment has happened before, but where?
What is man but his thoughts?
Action is the spear of thought-
always planned for tomorrow-
but tomorrow is the tragedy of never
that swallows today and laughs-
Scream- if you dare hear your silence.

more incoherendy as things retro-

After an' unbelievable tirade of
shouts, motions, seconds, thirds,
wait-a-minutes, and curses, we
finally voted, 18 to 3, to recom-
mend some sort of a specifically

Arthur Honegger. Honegger, a
member of the French group of
composers who called themselves
"Les Six", studied at the Zurich
and Paris conservatories of
music, and was tutored by Vidoi
and D'Indy.
In "King David," Honegger
has combined with breath-taking
success the contrasting styles of
the archaic rhythms of Juda and
the contrapuntal richness of J. S.
Bach.
Soloists for the presentation
are: sopranos-Sarah Tompkins
and Ibbie Ann Jack; contralto-
Mary M. Rucker; and tenor-
James Breckenridge.

Debate Tein Oflen
Opportunities
by Sherry ProHitt
If you like travel, excitement,
eating out, staying in nice (?)
motels, meeting exciting people,
and intellectual challenge, ans-
wer this call for help! Tibere are
certain qualifications which you
may think that you must possess
to answer which you really do
not have to have at all: you do
not have to have a 4.0; you do
not have to be able to speak pro-
ficiently right now; you do not
have to be rich (i.e. you do not
have to finance your own trips) ;
and you do not have to be a
windbag. To put it simply, the
debate team needs new members
next year and we are inviting
you to talk to Dr. Walker (who
really is a lot of fun, if you like
that sort of thing) or any of the
members of the debate team imc
find out what a debate team
really is in spite of its image. It
is challenging and rewarding,
else I would not have stuck with
it for four years. Moby likes it
even — he says he wishes he had
started as a freshman! But the
problem is that Moby is leaving,
along with two other seniors, and
we need other students to fill the
ranks. If the first sentence of
this "plea" appeals to you, at
least inquire about the possibili-
ties of joining. Are we puttin*
you on?

Greenawald Interviewed
Summer Work
Available for Men
A valuable and rewarding
summer is waiting for you if you
have the entire summer free and
are willing to woric. The South-
western Publishing Co. of Nash-
ville, Tennessee, has helped thou-
sands of college men earn their
entire college education in its 9£
years of operation.
Not only can you easily earn
over $500 per month, there are
valuable prizes awaiting in sales
promotion contests.
For an interview, without ob-
ligation call 982-4330 either to-
dcpyy May 14, or Sunday y May 15.
As promised, the ECHO had
an interview with next year's stu-
dent body president, Ed Green-
awald.
Q: Ed, IS there anything in
particular that you hope to
change in next year's stu-
dent council?
A: Yes, but when I say
"change" I do not mean to
change it from anything
that it has not been before.
Student council can be a
strong body which voices
student opinion and I want
to be a leader of a group
that will hear this opinion
and take the initiative to
present it to the administra-
tion.
Q: What else is important for
a strong student council?
More than som- students
realize, it is the whole stu-
dent body. Some students
don't realize their own
worth. Many of them have
A:
great ideas, but have not
voiced these ideas either to
the discussion groups or to
anyone else that can funnel
them into any sort of action.
Interest is high among most
of the students and I hope
that it will be even more
so next year.
Q: Have you any other plans
for next year's program?
A: Yes, as I mentioned in my
platform, I plan to establish
the following:
1. an academic committees
to keep in close touch with
the faculty consultative com-
mittee.
2. a rules committee where
rules will be kept track of
and efforts coordinated in
making necessary proposals.
3. a program committee to
insure more and better po-
pular programs (such as
"The Womenfolk" this
year) .
4. an organizations com-
mittee to work on possible
expansion and improvement
of the society program.
5. better UCCF-Student
Council relationships (e.g. a
UCCF member at every Stu-
dent Council meeting and
vice versa.) The efficiency
of these committees will de-
pend on the appointment of
responsible heads to each.
I do not think it unreasonable
to look for definite changes in
the areas of curriculum, sm(^-
ing, women's rules (e.g. freshmen
to s»iior lessening of personal
restrictions), cut system, and
Ed Greenawald and John Wolfe cars.

S<i(ta'ticM(f SfieciAUa Anything
Goes
This Week's Editor Is Jerry WeeKs
Someone has said that once you break the ice, the water flows
freely. Well, last week the Board of Directors made the crack a little
wider and caused the trickle to add more momentum. When you
seniors were freshmen, who would have thought to really see a five-
day week? This year's freshmen certainly would not have imagined
it. Or how about the future of chapel actually being discussed ser-
iously? After a year — or has it been years — of sounding complaints,
requests and suggestions, we have seen the administration, faculty,
and now the Directors, do something about them.
Are these new policy measures merely pacifiers to appease the
restless natives? Some think so. But this is no time to doubt the ad-
ministration's slncerety. Doubts and mistrust have prev^ailed loo long
already. But by no means are we students to sneak back into our
dens and occasionally peek out and bark like gophers.
Apparently the administration and faculty have realized that
Maryvilie College must change — and rapidly — if it is to continue
to offer quality education. But neither administration nor faculty
can create an academic environment if changes do not come from
the students — and rapidly. A few exceptional students who can
state their complaints with justification cannot make an environ-
ment academic — many more must join their ranks. We have heard
a lot during the last lew weeks about making Maryvilie College the
kind of school it should be. Regardless how trite it might be,
Maryvilie will become that kind of school when its students, as well
as its administration and faculty, open their eyes to the world
about them and want to learn.
WE DANCED TIL A QUARTER OF THREE
or
//
Dr. Jackson, if you're wondering why this
inguistics paper is late . . ."
"Gee, I was at the President's house — and I didn't even do
anything wrong — except drop a piece of fried chicken on the
floor, but I picked it up quick and nobody noticed."
But most people managed not to drop their chicken or drip
their steak gravy as the Copeland's entertained the Seniors last
Monday evening at Morningside. The good food and friendlv
hospitality caused many to remark, "I guess it's worth being
a Senior after all."
The sudden afternoon chill caused plans to be hurriedly changed
as everything was shifted for an indoor dinner instead of the terrace
dinner originally planned. Outdoors only the colored Japanese
lanterns swaying in the breeze kept a silent vigil as indoors the
guests jumped with various kinds of dancing to the music of the
Maryvilie College Dance Band.
It was hard to tell who was having the best time. Karen Cope-
land downed four pieces of pie before the dinner even began, and
as we left, Dr. Campbell was still bringing extra helpings of potato
salad to Carole Brownlee. Then there was Paul Millin who looked
pretty embarrassed after he stepped on Sandy Brigg's toe for the
sixth time, which wouldn't have been so bad except that President
Copeland didn't step on Mrs. Copeland's toe even once, and the
two of them were still f rugging long after everyone else was ex-
hausted.
or How Brownlee gets
away with cutoffs
and sweatshirts.
by Jeanne Sherer
Recently I entertained a guest
from another college who was
amazed by our casualness of
dress at Maryvilie. The fact that
he goes to a college for men only
is indicative of his strictness of
attitude, but his comments start-
ed me thinking about "fashions"
on the campus here. Coat and
tie is the norm in dress at his
school and he found it appalling
that some of our men should
wear jeans and sweatshirts to
class. The dress of the women
students he found to be neat but
perhaps more informal than he
expected. (Perhaps he caught
sight ot some of us in cut-offs
under raincoats!)
After looking around to take
more interest in what we actually
do wear, 1 have found that we
are in fact quite casual and take
a ''anything-goes" attitude. We
do not stare when someone wears
a coat and tie to class any more
than heels and suit. We seem to
dress to fit our mood.
:5tuaents of both sexes exhibit
quite a bit of good taste most of
the time wearing clothes that
could be found in any current
fashion magazine. And yet we
do not look like models who dress
for the sake of conformity. Our
mood on campus is not orientated
toward wearing apparrel but on
the person inside the outfit, and
1 think this is wonderful.
Versatility seems to be the
rule of fashion here; the indi-
vidual is aUowed to be an indi-
vidual. Our "fashionable" stu-
dents do not seem to take the
dictates from "Vogue" or any
other fashion magazine as the
ultimate rule unless their parti-
cular tastes, personalities, and
figure sanction such dress. There-
fore I say Bravo! for our intelli-
gent, individual perspective of
current fashion.
In the course of enjoying and enduring the perils of the years
spent at this college, we all as required sit in chapel and have for
the most part, abstractions spoken at us. The messages are generally
the same, varied only by the speaker, his approach. And five days
a week too many of us walk away, gaining solely in the sense that
the chapel cut not used today is saved for a tomorrow.
So here I am, another speaker, with by my own admission, an
idea heard before ... As in the case of the aforementioned ab-
stractions, it is your prerogative to take or leave the words that
I speak, the tootsie-roll-pop you've found in your seat. It is your
decision alone to exit emptyhanded, emptyheaded, but still able to
say "I get nothing out of chapel."
The message that goes along with the candy is simple. The
lollipop is your invitation to be a child — to abandon, at least tem-
porarily, whatever stands behind those constantly repeated words:
responsibility, maturity, productivity, etc. — to be as is a kid:
imaginative, uninhibited, affectionate; — to have a sense of
wonder . . .
You can if you will just stop sometime during the day or week
while running along the superhighway of Life. Stop and imagine
that your eyes had just opened and see things you never before
noticed. Don glasses with lenses of curiosity.
Hear and feel the wind instead of only defining it.
Go fly a kite — pretend it's a troublesome friend with whom you
must fight and play tug-of-war so that he may catch himself in the
wind of Good Fortune at the right moment, or fall if you let go.
Rather than looking at your own nose, turn your eyes upward
and see what kinds of clouds there are even if you don't know the
scientific names.
Ponder the immensity of the sun, the contrasting smallness of
self.
Look downward and see natural life, and remember that you
are a part of this.
Wade through the waist-high grass.
Swing from a low-hanging tree limb.
Spray Sprite on your window to give the effect of raindrops
while the sun is shining.
And if it does rain, go out — why be afraid of water in this
form?
See how green the grass and leaves are in the sunlight when
the rain stops — maybe there will be a rainbow.
Run without reason or direction — and if you feel you must
explain yourself, say that a pink elephant is chasing you.
Look for a form, an animal, a face in the grain of a wooden
door or the cracks in the ceilings and walls.
Dream of your very own island . . .
Know the warmth of sunshine.
Search for a four-leafed clover, an oddity that can give you
hope.
Realize the intangible, invaluable wealth of friendship, the
joy of unsought giving, and that people who need people are the
luckiest people in the world . . .
Eat a lollipop — functionally speaking it's a portable breakfast.
Think of seventy years as a long time and omigod I don't want
to get old and be another grey-haired wretch — ^but that age is
merely a state of mind and you can be a kid forever.
Believe that I am out of my tree — but I don't care 'cause my
world's better than your world.
Just stop, if only for a moment.
May we pray :
Each to our own god
May we appreciate being, and as beings appreciate. Amen.

Western Carolina turned under by 6-3, and Mars Hill humiliated
on their home court 8-1. Upon returning home, the netters chalked
ed 400 or more points in the up their eleventh consecutive victory at the expense of Emory and

TWO THREE-WAY MEETS
On Apirl 22 the Scot tracksiters ventured to Na^ville to partici-
pate in a three-way meet sponsored by David Lipscomb. Fisk Uni-
versity was the third team involved in the meet. At the end of the
meet the scorebook showed the host school collecting 82 points,
Maryville a close second with 63 points, and Fisk taking third place,
tallying 35 points.
The story for Maryville was a preponderance of second and
third places. Greg Hallen and Bob Leech were the only Scots to
manage first places for the struggling Scots. Had it been for two
or three more 1st places, Maryville would surely have had the meet
rapped up.
Leach Shines
As it was — in the 100, Dalton was second and Cropper was
third. In the 220, Cropper could gamer only second. The 440 yard
dash saw Dick Craig of Maryville in fourth place and the 880 had
Reed in 2nd and McCampbell in fourth. Bob Cooper also settled
for second place in both the mile and the 2 mile, losing two very
close races. Gathering more points for the Scots in these races were

turned in a fine time (44.6) in the 330 intermediate hurdle event.

Africa! ^^ Favor of the Socialist State
Last week Jack Noel and Carol
Pusey received their assignments
for work in Africa this summer.
Jack will be working in Liberia,
a West African country south
of Sierre Leone. Liberia is fam-
ous for its rubber production and
for its six months of heavy rain-
fall annually. Most of the
Liberians speak French, so the
Crossroaders have to communi-
cate in this language.
Girol will help to build a youth
center in a rural village in
Uganda. Uganda is located in
B^t Africa on the northeast
corner of Lake Victoria. It is a
beautiful country, famous for
the Mountains of the Moon and
the Queen Elizabeth National
Park. Although Uganda is on
the equator, it has a mild climate
with temperatures ranging from
60 to 85 degrees. Heat and high
humidity are prevalent in the
jungle areas.
The Crossroaders will meet
for orientation in New Bruns-
wick, New Jersey on June 20.

In America the history of the Socialist party has not been one
of continuing success, at least on the surface. The Socialist party
and its doctrines coming from Europe to America in the last
century received a bad name and a poor reputation. In consequence,
as socialism has begun to replace capitalism around the world,
Americans have found it expedient to incorporate socialist principles
into their conventional parties. In this way our country too has made
progress towards the eventual socialization of the American demo-
cracy.
Despite the advances of the last few decades, the American
public has been extremely reluctant, especially among some groups,
to admit to the reality and the necessity of socialism in the United
States. Even more the public has been reluctant to relinquish the
deep seated^ capitalistic ethic. It is time the public gave up many
of its misconceived prejudices concerning socialism and realized its
value in furthering the advancement of humanity and the American
democracy. The socialist state in the United States is still in the
future, but it is a future to be hoped for and looked for. not to be
feared.

TTiis week's agenda has two im-

Monday ten giris who had earn-
ed 400 or more points in the
intramural program went through
informal initiation. Orange
"M's," whistles and "lowly
neophytes" were the order of the
day, and now tomorrow the
neophytes will be formally ini-
tiated into "M" Club while on a
swim retreat at Loudon Lake.
Congratulations and best wishes
to the newly initiated girls:
Noreen Bouis, Sue Fershee, Judy
Johns, Phyllis Macintosh, Mary
Paddison, Linda Reifenkugel,
Mary Lee Roseborough, Becky
Sankner, Betty Vincait and
Maren Wright.
Second on this week's agenda
is an awards breakfast which will
be held at 7:00 A.M. Monday
morning in the rear section of
the dining room. Any girl who
has participated in intramurals
during the past year is invited to
come and join with us.

Western Carolina turned under by 6-3, and Mars Hill humiliated
on their home court 8-L Upon returning home, the netters chalked
up their eleventh consecutive victory at the expense of Elmory and
Henry 7-1; thus pushing their over-all record to 13 wins against
a single defeat.
Pete Park, Cotton Lambert,
and Alan Marshall led the Scots
to these five victories as they
won all of their respective singles
oiatches. However, the "old pros"
on the squad, seniors Lynn
Howard, Rich Marshall, and Bill
Cass each provided their share
of victories. Howard and Mar-
shall's best matches were against
Einory and Henry, while Gass
shone against Western Carolina.
In doubles competition, the net-
men won all but one match the
whole week.
Tuesday the Scots travelled to
Carson-Newman seeking number
fourteen. East Tomessee State
and North Georgia invaded the
home courts Thursday and Fri-
day to try to stop the Scots.

Shields and Blair
to Study
Curriculum
by Frank Eggers
Maryville College has applied
for a grant under Title III of the
Higher Education Act of 1965.
Under the provisions of this
grant, money would be provided
to pay the salary of replacements
for several (the exact number
depending on the amount of the
grant) faculty members so they
might be free of normal teach-
ing duties for the school year
1966-1967. The purpose of this
action is to conduct a joint study
program with the University of
Tennessee and the Federal
Government to review the
changes and innovations made
in curriculum, especially core
curriculum, at other institutions.
In the process of this study, the
classes conducted under any such
new system would be visited and
an opinion poll would be taken
of both teachers and students af-
fected by it.
After study of at least twelve
to fifteen of these representative
institutions, a core curriculum
will be specifically designed for
Maryville which will fulfill the
purposes of this institution as
stated by the board of directors.
It is to be emphasized that in de-
veloping this new core curricu-
lum, no courses or systems are to
be lifted from any other school,
but rather all will be studied and
then a unique system is to be
made for Maryville.
Due to the considerable im-
portance placed upon this pro-
gram b y our administration, the
board of directors has author-
ized, exclusive of the Title III
decision, sufficient funds to free
two professors to work on this
program full time next year.
They are Dr. Blair of the English
department and D r. Shields,
chairman o f the Biology depart-

WSGA Annoincts
Rule Chaigts
In the revision of the hand-
book Cues for Coeds, the WSGA
Coordinating Council has been
making various changes in wo-
men's regulations. The major
ones are announced as follows:
(1) Whereas formerly slacks
were not permitted off campus,
they are now acceptable for the
areas surrounding the college,
excluding the major business
district and shopping center.
(2) In considering extending
privileges for juniors and sen-
iors, WSGA decided to make the
11 o'clock permission more flex-
ible in order that an upperclass-
woman may take an 11 o'clock
once a week at h e r own discre-
tion for the Maryville-Knoxville
area. These weekly permissions
are accumulative, however, and
oan be used, for example, all i n
one group if the girl so wishes.
(3) Also in connection with
junior and seniors, the number
of weekends away from campus
has previously been limited to 5
for all classes. Starting next
year, upperclasswomen have 8
weekends away, and, if a girl
has a 3.0 academic standing for
the preceding semester, she may
take weekends at her own discre-
tion.
(4) For Saturday nights next
year, every junior and senior
woman has six 1 o'clock permis-
sions to be used whenever she
chooses. Here too, however, if the
girl has a 3.0 standing she may
take 1 o'clocks o n Saturday
night at her own discretion.
(5) Closing hour for Friday
night of the 5-day week is to be
reconsidered as the first decis-
ion on the agenda for next year.
Dr. Susanne Hoeber Rudolph (third from left), University of Chicago pro-
fessor, spoke recently under the auspices of the College Epsilon Chapter
of Pi Gamma Mu. national social science honorary. Pi Gamma Mu leaders
with her here are, left to right, Gerald Hughes, Florence Corbett, and
Paul Millin. Dr. Rudolph is a consultant on Eastern studies in a program
involving Maryville faculty. She spoke on "Relentlessness and Intimacy:
Aspects of Ghandi's Leadership."
Experience is a
Harsh Teacher
Student Council would like to
use this space in the Echo to
make formal apology to Ed
Greenawald and John Wolfe for
the turmoil, embarrassment, and
general disorder of the past week.
It seems as though at times it
takes such things to make one
realize the importance of pre-
vention over cure. We're surprised
that this point of qualification
hasn't come up before, and we're
sorry that it had to come now.
We feel that this situation will
never happen again, since as al-
ways. Experience is the best
teacher.
Hunter Donates
Dissertation
Abstracts
The Maryville College Li-
brary is indebted to D r . Edwin
R. Hunter for donating the pro-
ceeds from the sale of his book
This Man's Art toward the pur-
chase of Dissertation Abstracts,
a monthly compilation of ab-
stracts from doctoral theses. The
abstracts are compiled from dis-
sertations submitted to Univer-
sity Microfilms, Inc. b y more
than 140 cooperating institu-
tions. They come out in twelve
volumes per year, and our li-
brary now has all the volumes
for the years 1961-1965 on the
shelves i n hard bindings. The
volumes for the years 1957-1960
are on order.
Those students involved in in-
dependent study will find this a
particularly valuable addition to
our library. Each abstract is a
summary of a doctoral disserta-
tion and is indexed under author
and subject. Dr. Hunter states,
"There is no better index of the
trends and the expanding areas
of advanced study. If there were
no other use made of it, merely
leafing through it and browsing
i n the field of his particular
undergraduate interest will have
an impact o n the^ ambitious stu-
dent who has graduate study in
mind.
After repeated meetings of
Student Council and its Election
Committee, the election of Ed
Greenawald as student body
president was declared null and
void. A discrepancy in Green-
awald's academic standing was
interpreted by Council to mean
that he would not be a senior
second semester next year and
so was not qualified to act as
a candidate.
Vice President-elect John Wolfe
was installed as president at the
annual Student Council banquet
held last Wednesday evening. A
reinterpretation of the Constitu-
tion and Robert's Rules of Order,
however, led Council to declare
his installation illegal.
In a repeat election held on
Saturday, May 21, history major
John Mulholland from Youngs-
town, Ohio, was chosen to be stu-
dent body president for the year
1966-1967. Wolfe will serve as
vice president.
Because of the abnormal
character of this election, Mul-
holland was unable to present
the student body with his inten-
tions concerning next year's stu-
dent government. The following
is a brief summary of his pro-
posals:
1 . Student body meetings
more frequently to keep the lines
of communication open.
2. Student-faculty communi-
cation strengthened* through
various available means.
3. Work and study to con-
tinue into the establishing of a
third set of social societies.
4. Greater interest in the
academic life of the campus to
be stimulated by whatever means
available.
5. A faculty lecture series to
be arranged.
6. Student participation in
informal study seminars.
7. Possible Democratic and
Republican Party clubs set up
to develop serious interest in
American politics.

2-The Highland Echo, May 20, 1966
EDITCI^I/IL CLTLCer
If this editorial had been written a week ago, it might have
proved to be unprintable. But, the fight is over, the dust has cleared,
and maybe now the whole student government election mess can be
viewed somewhat objectively.
We have weathered various charges of political manipulation,
senior machinery, and the like and are left with one major thought.
It is a sad commentary on our student body if what has been charged
is true. If a small, elite group of "influential" seniors actually did
plan, plot, and execute the election of Ed Greenawald, then not much
can be said for the integrity or intelligence of the majority of stu-
dents who voted for him.
The panic-stricken Student Council, which installed and un-
installed, voted and revoted, was faced with a new problem — its
first real business of the year. As a result of the experience of being
in the limelight, many Council members seemed to forget that they
were elected as representatives, not replacements, of the student
body. Unfortunately, the general, run-of-the-mill student was thrown
into a clump which was labeled by some as the "DUMB MASS."
It is hoped that the other-than-the-dumb-mass people will remember
in the future that our system is a democratic one and that aristocracy
of the Student Council is only a figment of someone's hazy imagina-
tion.
We feel a mite sorry for next year's leaders, Mulholland and
Wolfe. The latter has undergone a rather unforgetable week; the
former is faced with the job of rewriting that Thing called the Con-
stitution. Surely there will be no more last-minute elections when
the student body is called upon to vote for a name, without having
any real knowledge of the plans and principles behind that name.
Remember that bit about the fiftieth anniversary of the Echo?
it was a lie. Dr. Hunter has informed us that the paper was begun
in 1914. Anyone for a 52nd anniversary celebration?
We wish to thank several campus organizations who have been
'of much help in alleviating the Echoes rather precarious financial
situation. UCCF and Student Council have contributed sizable sums
of money. Especially to be thanked is the Senior Class, which
donated $100 to defray the expenses of this graduation issue.

This is a FILLER. Do you
know what a filler is? A filler is
something you put in when you
haven't got something to put
there.
by Mary Lee Zorb, senior counselor
Baldwin Hall has quite a past
— and two people who have had
a real part in that past are Mrs.
Beatrice Spears and Mrs. Lou-
ella Epting. Both of these house-
mothers are leaving Maryville
for more peaceful environs.
Mrs. Spears plans to return to
her hometown of Morristown t o
dabble, redecorate, and do all
the other things she has wanted
1 0 accomplish. Mrs. Epting i s
looking forward t o spending
some time with her grandchild-
ren. She will make her home
with her daughter on Signal
Mountain, Chattanooga.
We would like to suggest per-
haps they should write a book
about t h e fascinating and intri-
guing things which have occurr-
ed in Baldwin. Like
— the first d a y of our fresh-
man year when Lois and Marty
arrived and were promptly ap-
pointed chief dusters of Baldwin.
— the creation of "Spear's
Bunny Club."
— the day the keys were lock-
ed in the refrigerator.
— the night everyone just
happened to be standing in their
doorway tapping their heels at
the same time.
— the morning after the night
before when "Even the walls had
Spears!"
— the night the buzzer stuck
— anyone lose a hairpin?
— the real fire drill
— the continual surprises o f
room inspection — would you be-
lieve cats, ducks, moldy pies?
The list could go on and on.
And we've only been here four
short years. Small wonder that
Mrs. Spears and Mrs. Epting are
taking a change of pace. Best
wishes to you both as you go!

The confusion rampant over
the past month (and particularly
during last week), relating to
student government, is unparal-
leled in my three years at Mary-
ville. The very fact of wonder
rooster's election was an oddity
in itself, but when his latent in-
eligibility was discovered, an
even more spectacular farce en-
sued. So many ridiculous solu-
tions (such as amending the con-
stitution to fit the situation) were
proposed, that if Harvey had
been nominated, I wouldn't have
batted an, eye. But level heads
prevailed, the constitution was
maintained, and student govern-
ment withstood the attacks upon
its competence. Leadership of the
student body is quite possibly in
the best hands now available;
and the first meeting of the new
council has shown the brightest
hopes yet for enabling us as a
student body to reach the poten-
tialities of 1966-67. My advice to
anyone so "burned out" on Mary-
ville College that he doesn't want
to become a contributing factor
in its improvement next year, is
that he find a job, join the army,
or change schools!
One further word concerning
the recent confusion: A state-
ment "sprung" upon the student
body by a small group of fanat-
ics at the meeting on May 19,
advocated that the Vice Presi-
dent-elect had become President
when he assumed control of stu-
dent council after its banquet on
May 17. Now there is no justifi-
cation for considering this tra-
ditional banquet a legal installa-
tion of new officers, but this
assumpttion was voiced in the
statement read before the stu-
dent body. This proposal, as well
as several senseless testimonies,
demonstrated the effects of a
poor use of words upon the con-
fusion of the situation. Because
words are our most practical
media of expression, we should
be selective in their use a^d
careful in their acceptance. Any-
one can talk, but to speak re-
quires having something to say
. . . even a lowly dog can hear,
but to listen requires an intelli-
gent mind.

Fancy
Fancy's theme once stole the thought
Of the youth I was;
A graceful girlish shape
On some protrusion caught
While racing through my cluttered mind.
In terror-bent escape
She thrashed about:
And, bewildered,
I let her out.
Now there's dead serious thought
Where fancy's youth once was;
No longer fanty's shape
Or her intrusion sought;
No smiles race through my ordered mind.
Well-made was my escape —
No remnants left about:
For protection,
I threw them out.
The Rape of the Student Body
Ollie Williami. Senior Student Council Member
From the besieged Ardea all in poit,
Borne by the truitloM wings of fehie desire,
Lusf-breafhed Council leaves the Student host.
And to The Hill bears the lighriess fire
Which, in pale embers hid, lurks to aspire
And girdle with embracing flames the waist
Of The Hill's fair love, the Student Body the chaste.
The above sentiments, patterned after Shakespeare, embody my
lament for the way the Student Body has been stripped of its rights.
All representative forms of democratic government are rooted
in the power of the people. The governing superstructure maintains
its power only in trust, it has no absolute powers. Basic to our
form of government is the premise that the individual be protected
from the masses, and, equally important, that the masses be protect-
ed from the individual.
Robert's Rules of Order speci-
fically provides that the vote on
an election cannot be recon-
sidered once the candidate has
been informed of the vote and
has accepted, and secondly that
a motion to rescind an election
cannot be made.
The contention might be made
that the above rules apply only
to valid elections. However,
neither Robert's Rules nor our
Constitution specify that an
election be "valid" in order to
be irrevocable. In the absence of
any such defining clause the
election cannot be thus interpret-
ed. In addition, the ex post facto
decision that a candidate who
was eligible at the time of elec-
tion is now, and therefore was
then, ineligible is questionable.
At first this may seem to be
an unjust protection of indi-
vidual rights, but the balance of
power is fully maintained by
Article III, section 1 of our Con-
stitution which provides that any
member of Student Council may
be removed by 2|3 vote of Stu-
dent Council for "Inability to
carry on Student Council duties
because of illness or other rea-
sons." If Council had chosen to
define the lack of academic
senior standing as an inability
to cafry on Student Council
duties, no one would have just
cause for complaint.
But, when twenty people may
summarily dismiss the will of the
majority of the Student Body,
the democratic process and the
rights of the students have been
raped, and one has little as-
surance, except faith, that any
election may not also be sum-
marily dismissed by twenty
council members.
I will instruct my sorrows to
be proud; For grief is proud,
and makes his owner stoop.

Nor an hour past the east

Splattered on the sunny casket,

So he comes, alone as he has been
when loneliness
Was more than isolation, but
a painful outcast emotion.
Loneliness on the dark ridge
road,
To which he had come, held
answers
Not plaintive questions
The world from the rOad was a
broad arena
Forests of dark gladiators reared
black against
The Black Horizon
And nosed their pronged
branches
To the balcony of silent
winking spectators, but
All that should have been
nation was not.
He fixed his lonely eyes to the
West
Though the dipper's silver thumb
pointed North.
The West where his imagina-
tion brewed scenes of better
times
Was waiting, but should he
go?
To leave for something better one
might there
Something worse, but to him
on the outside
What is loneliness among
those once friends?
That is not a thousand times
the pain of loneliness
Among the new and un-
known.
The next mirage is down
the road
Is better, better than the last.
And any pain the future
holds
Is sweeter than all the bitter
past.

A Look at
Maryville College
by |ohn Mulholland
Begun in March of this year
after an idea put forth in a
specially called meeting of the
Student-Faculty Senate, expand-
ed with a number of other stu-
dents and faculty members not
regular members, groups of stu-
dents and faculty have been
meeting to discuss those things
that they feel relevant to the
issues confronting us here in our
particular college life. What is
wrong with our college? By what
means does one gain an educa-
tion? What is the purpose of
Maryville College? What is
wrong with the chapel program?
How can we change the present
chapel program? How do we
implement a better campus social
life? What are the ingredients
of an academic atmosphere, not-
ably lacking here? What does it
mean to be a student, to be a
professor?
These are only some of the
questions that have become part
of rather lengthy and mature
discussions in the past few weeks.
If you see some people around
here excited about the possibili-
ties of this college in becoming
a real place of learning, don't be
surprised! A new spirit of com-
munication has taken place
which can mean great strides
forward in the development of
this college. We students have
voiced our complaints and sug-
gestions for years, now we find
listening ears and persons will-
ing to expriment with and put
to work some of our ideas. Never
before have we had such an
opportunity to contribute to the
life of this college, and never
before have we had such a re-
sponsibility to acknowledge this
opportunity.
Would you believe someone
getting up for a meeting at 7:00
A.M. on Monday morning to at-
tend a meeting to discuss such
topics and skip breakfast? Its
being done. Or meeting an hour
or two some weekday afternoon?
Yes, even then.
Instead of lonely griping begin
to seek out others among the
student body and faculty to talk
over your ideas. Talk to your
student council officers and
members if you desire to be a
part of any of these groups.
Begin to think seriously of what
the expenence of college can
and should really mean. Then,
begin to talk to others of your
ideas. Big things are happening
here at Maryville; take your part
in the contributions that are
made.

ON THE POINT OF FOREVER
by Sandy Chiftick
/'m going away at eventide, across the wide and the rolling
sea . . .
And what will I remember of four years at Maryville College?
Already forgotten are thoughts of tests and busy work . . .
Still vivid is the shock of the freshman mass and the all-college
sing starring Bumble Bee Don Black, and the warmth of Johnny
Appleseed told by Mike Garrett.
That first year recalls Dr. Blair's friendly laugh, the midnight
writing of freshman term papers, of Dave Sawyer and Sandy Briggs
and our own talent show — tramp, tramp, tramp . . .
A lot of memories have piled up since then — the realization
that English History wasn't so bad after all when Dr. Walker gig-
gled, a guitar case full of jelly beans, Dr. Jackson being a stamp
collector. Dr. Swenson riding a bike and smiling happy, Ed Green-
awald being chased by a wild boar, sneaking up a fire escape or
over the wall, Dr. Campbell with twinkling eyes, pogo jumping,
sweating over "No Sweat."
I remember warm rain, squishy mud, long grass, blue moun-
tains — lovely to look at and hell to climb — waterfalls, flowers, and
butterflies.
I remember people — 350 of them who cared (or were hood-
winked) to give up their Sunday sack suppers.
Forgotten is a test failed because of a beautiful movie. Re-
membered are hikes taken when there was no time for them, four
leaf clovers found when none were sought, tootsie roll pops on
chapel seats, a challenge — / love you.
College has taught me a lot — the fun of hitchhiking, bicycling
at 5:30 A.M., camping on the beach, spring, /'// be a dandy. III be
a rover . . .
But rover or not, I hope I never do forget:
• The magic of the search — the countless books to read, the
mountains to climb, the seas to sail, or the flowers to plant in the
back yard, . . . and
* People — people alive, people lonely, lost and unaware, people
happy, singing, smiling — people just being people and needing other
people.
*'l' left you in the morning
And in the morning glow,
You walked away beside me
To make me sad to go.
Will you know me in the gloaming
Gaunt and dusty, gray with roaming?
Are you sad because you know me not
Or sad because you know?"

Qass Prophecy- 1966
It is now the year 1986 and
the graduates of the class of '66
have returned for a class re-
union, only to discover that there
have been some changes made.
Well remembering the changes
started during their senior year,
the graduates of the class of '66
may feel smug and complacent
due to the instrumental part they
played in being on the basement
level of these alterations. Further
investigation revealed that some
people have not left at all. For in-
stance, Buddy Stinnett stayed so
long that he is now the President.
Pres. Stinnett new regime is
composed of M.C. graduates who,
surprisingly, are graduates of the
class of '66. Efficiency is the
keynote of the new regime — for
example, registration was held
up three days by the new re-
gistrar Betty Lender. In order to
keep the students well informed
of administrative activities Dean
of Students, Dale Schellenger,
writes an open letter to the High-
land Echo every week. Chap-
lain Greg Hallen has been work-
ing closely with President Stin-
n e 1 1 investigation committee
whose purpose is to Discover
Undercover Defiance. The mem-
bers of this committee are Terry
Amon, Bill Covert, Rich Reed,
Hank Seitz and Eric Bergman.
A stroll around campus re-
veals changes in many of the
faculty and staff: Dwight Camp-
bell has taken Miss Navratil
job as Special Studies super-
visor — practice makes perfect.
Miss Ellen Lankenau, who is
the head of the P.E. depart-
ment, has instituted a new pro-
gram of Charm and Ettiquette.
She is assisted in the beauty
course by Midhele McCroskey,
who lectures on the "Value of
Contact Lenses." Miss McCroskey
is presently employed by her op-
tometrist brother. Also on the
staff is Sue Foreman, who is an
expert on Far Eastern protocol.
Visiting home economist, Mrs.
Dennis Miller, the former Sara
Mason, is busily writing an auto-
biographical cook-book entitled
"How I learned to cook at age
22."
Miss Karen Keen, one of the
newer members of the English
Faculty, has recently b^en honor-
ed in Saturday Review by hav-
ing a selection of her poems pub-
lished, the most famous of which
is "Ode to a Comp."
Teaching "Marriage and the
Family" this semester is faculty
wife, Mrs. Jon Gresham.
Vibrations from the Fine Arts
Center report that the depart-
ment has recently been expand-
ed. Chairman of the Department,
Hugh McCampbell, announced
that this spring Maryville will
offer a major in country and
western music.
Proctor of men's residences
Ron Cheek is rumored to be
moonlighting — his sideline —
you guessed it — renting dia-
mond rings.
The food in the dining hall has
been changed from cheese grits
and cornbread to kosher dills and
matz balls under^the new dieti-
tion Ruth Hults.
The College has adopted a
more liberal social policy as a
result of the influence of the
new dean of women, Sandy Hag-
gart.
Sue Haldemen is now head
librarian. She won't let anyone
use the table where Eric gave
her the engagement ring though
— it's now a library shrine.
One of the first things the new
administration did was to allow
Johanne Ibsen to live off campus
since she came back as a chemis-
try professor.
Miss Sherry Proffitt has been
promoted to operator of Ander-
son Hall's new central switch-
board, but we aren't sure how
long it will last. It seems that
Sherry was overheard debating
(in French) with stveral of the
would-be callers. Co-worker Cor-
liss Vogel handles foreign calls
from North Jersey.
Ann Layman and Chicki Roll-
wagon have taken over the Stu-
dent Center, and several new at-
tractions have been added.
Dinner music is now head as
Beth Mahler is featured as solo
organiist. Soon after smoking
was legalized at the Student
Center, the need for cigarette
machines was recognized. Diane
Kline, the new director of stu-
dent help, saw her opportunity
and made a new student-help
opening for cigarette girls, Work-
ing in this position are Marge
Waldon, Ruth Houser, Barbara
Hortman, Patsy Burch, and

Maryville has a new dress
shop featuring originals by Doris
Price. The new shop, ' called
"Kicky Clothes for Kooky Kids"
is owned by Celia Tiffany.
Fashion Board coordinator is
Lee Orcutt. A frequent patron
of Celia's shop is Miss Carole
Brownlee, who recently was
named to the Fashion Hall of
Fame.
Rich Cleasby, Brenda Cox,
Linda Keyees, Clint Abbott, Bo
Henderson and Keith Bailey are
all running the excursion boat
concession stand on Pistol Creek.
After getting his M.D., Movses
Hovespian started writing his
prescription in Arabic and drove
all the Maryville pharmacists
wild.
Sandy Briggs, after studying
two years in Alcohol Education,
has returned to her job as wait-
ress at 'the Log in Atlantic City
for further research.
Adam Deveney who is head of
ROTC here at M.C, is the only
commander we know of who uses
TR3's instead of jeeps.
Our only doctorial candidate,
nightwatchman Dave Dye, has
decided to take a morning class
as UT. He feels that speaking |
Thai will be beneficial to his
present position.
We've also noticed that there
are some new housemothers.
Marcia Bishop has been named
Housemother at Fuhr Hall. Mary
Lee Zorb sure has changed since
she became Housemother of
Baldwin. She confines her senior
counselors to their rooms every
weekend. Assisting Zorb is peppy
Phyllis Evaul.
Admissions counselor Paul
Millin reported from Fort Laud-
erdale that there are "no stu-
dents here — ^ they're all a bunch
of toads." Mr. Millin plans to
stay a few extra weeks just to
make sure.
Lupton Wood is in Africa —
still looking for Carol Pusey,
Jack Noel, and Fred Hope.
There has been a rush to the
infirmary since Dr. Ollie Wil-
liams betame the bachelor doctor
in residence. Maryville's angel of
compassion, Jane Stapp, is now
the campus nurse. Those of her
patients who survive are automa-
tically eligible for Medicare as-
sistance.
The Artist Series for this year
was announced by Academic
Dean, Denny McGowan.
Artists and lecture series found
many of the class of '66 return-
ing as performers and entertain-
ers. Featured in Artists Series
was old grad Joy Hutcheson and
the Grand Ole Opry; the Mary-
ville String Quartet composed
of Gary Dutton, Helen Ryan,
"Moon" Mullins, and Gene
Dixon. Also appearing in this
year's Artist Series was the come-
dy team of Mary Simpson and
Sarah Doerschuk. These talented
conMCs . hold a soft spot for
Maryville in their hearts because
they formed their first comedy
act, "the Heps," in Baldwin Hall.
It is a well-known fact that
alumni are frequently called
upon for donations. The Class of
'66 has had quite a number of
prominent businessmen who have
been persuaded by Maryville
Treasurer Clint Abbot to make
generous donations.
Success hasn't spoiled Jim
Pryor. Even though Jim is Presi-
dent of the Coke company, he
still personally collects bottles
from the girls' dorms.
Marty Van Miller gave up
her Broadway stage career to re-
establish a school of dance in
Maryville.
Jerry Hughes is acting Coun-
sel for Ann Fleming who is still
suing the school for damages
incured when she fell on ice.
Linda Home, has become a
famous Italian actress, although
changing her accent caused some
problems.
r
Heading the lecture series this
year will be Dr. Becky Koza,
lecturing on "Life as a Rhodes
Scholar," or "Rhodes Revels."
Rumor has it that Becky, one
of the nations' top electrical en-
gineers, is soon to be appointed
to the President's Council for
Academic Excellence.
It is rumored that Dave El-
lison's advice to the lovelorn
column in the Knoxville Journal
is so popular that it may be-
come nationally syndicated. Dave,
known to his readers as "Franny
Farce" recently answered a letter
from Sonny Hughes. Poor
Sonny says he's really suffering
under wife Barb Fitch's hen-
pecking.
After 30 years in Chicago,
Lewright Browning Sikes, IV,
came back and established an
underground dope syndicate in
Maryville. Yes, and Steve
LaVere's out to get him. He's
Blount County Sheriff and Pres-
ident of the Maryville Christian
Temperance Union. He and
Chaplain Greg Hallen are cam-
paigning against dope as well as
liquor.
There is a new dry cleaners in
town called "Chemically Clean-
ed Clothes are Cleaner." This
noble experiment in the business
world was started by Oliver Reed
Tarwater. Mrs. Tarwater, the
former Janice Best, is in charge
of the accounting.
The Joy Motel has recently
added 100 new rooms, an ad in
the Highland Echo announced.
Owner-operator George Derby-
shire commented to the press
that "the progress of the Joy
Motel reflects the progress of
Maryville College."
Maryville's newest night spot
is The Shovel, a discotheque run
by Louise Crawford. Owned by
the Society for the Preserva-
tion of Anonymity, Discretion,
and Enigma, the club features
go-go girls, Marty Van Miller,
Jan "Gypsy" Rose, and Flam-
i n g Faith Scotchmer. Recent
performers also included Jane
Brenckman and Eileen Wagner.
After doing extensive research
at the club, Lois Grinstead has
finally answered the question,
"Should a Gentleman offer a lady
a Tiparillo?"
Maryville's most popular
mountain hide-away is fast be-
coming Poore's Hostel for Poop-
ed Hikers owned and operated
by Miss Audrey Poore. Tired
hikers soon recover after tasting
mountain morsels from the kit-
chen run by Miss Majorie Wis-
mer.
After eating out for four
years, Dana Wyman, realizing
a great need, has opened his own
restaurant.

seniors in the graduating class
this spring.
The United States has chosen
to step in the direction of gov-
ernment control of certain as-
pects of industry — not because
socialism is a better form of eco-
nomic policy — but to protect the
American public, as a whole,
from unfair business practices.
True, some persons will prey on
the public in an absolute capi-
talistic society, but those in pow-
er in a socialistic state may prey
on the public to a greater extent.
In a socialistic state, the econ-
omic status may be invested in a
few governmental policy mak-
ers, who determine the commod-
ities and services manufactured
Copeland Reports on Board Meeting
by Joan Paul
In a recent chapel service Dr.
Copeland announced to the stu-
dent body plans made by the
Board of Directors with essential
value to the future of Maryville
College. The preceedings of the
meeting of the Board included
several details of interest to the
concerned Maryville student.
Obvious to the eye are the
three new dormitories being built
on campus, but unknown to
many are the minute plans and
decisions necessary for this pro-
ject. Action was taken by the
Board to complete and furnish
these buildings with power for
completion being given to the
Administrative Committee. The
total finance involved in these
three buildings is $2,050,000.
Also discussed in relation to the
building program were plans for
the Science Building which will
be an expense of $1,500,000.
The plans are in the hands of an
architect and he will determine
the time for construction and
completion.
A tentative working budget
for maintaining the college in
1966-67 was adopted. The total
suggested budget was $1,700,000,
which is the largest in the history
of the college. The building pro-
gram budget was not included
here but was reviewed by the
Board. It was found that $190,-
000 alone was spent on the heat-
ing plant, new piping, etc., which'
are of essential value to re-
sidences in the winter. While
speaking of monetary matters,
the Board retired a $200,000
debt on the Chapel during the
past year. As can be seen from
the given figures, Maryville Col-
lege is involved in a litde "big
business" of finance.
The major factor of general
interest discussed, deliberated,
and approved by the Board was
the change to a five-day week of
classes, taking effect in the com-
ing year 1966-67. This change
will take place on an experi-
mental basis with an evaluation
and report drawn up at the con-
clusion of the year, helping
determine the permanence of
the change and its effect on
future calendar changes. In inter-
viewing Dr. Copeland on this
decision by the Board, he felt,
"It will be good for all of us to
have some time of our own that
isn't 'scheduled.' This is a means
of enhancing our academic,
social, physical education, and
religious life and whether it will
. . . depends on how we use it."
Therefore Maryville College is
not only in the middle of
financial planning and construc-
tion but also taking part in an
experiment that enables more
freedom in controlling time. The
success and future of these three
factors initiated by the Board of
Directors depend on the concern
and support from the faculty, ad-
ministration, and students.
and offered, not on the basis oi
the supply and demand of the
majority of consumers, but ra-,
ther, on what these few believe
to be best for the society.
The capitalistic system has
proven itself as the system
which opens the doors to greater
fulfillment of human need. By
competition the persons creating
certain goods and services not
only secure for themselves a ma-
erial gain, but supply others in
the society with goods, and ser-
ices, and pecuniary wealth,
,,'hich they would normally lack.
By the gains one person makes,
he enables others to pursue their
lines of production, and creates
a progression of interdepend-
ence. The socialistic state pro-
vides the needs of the people
through the government which
determines what the people will
get, because it controls the econ-
omy. The greater the percentage
of money in the economy taken
from the public and given to the
government, the less chance the
public has to express their wants
through supply and demand.
The socialistic form of govern-
ment has not prospered well in
any country. The doctors in
Britain, under the Medicare
program, have complained be-
cause the place of practice is
government appointed and their
f e e s are set by the government.
Many have revolted against the
socialistic form because of these
restrictions on their practices, in
Russia, the government has
turned to capitaHstic incentives
for production because the gov-
ernment has failed terribly in
management of agriculture and
industry.
Max Weber, in his book The
Protestant Ethic and the Spirit
of Capitalism, expresses the
thought that "Capitalism today,
which dominates economic life,
educates and selects the econom-
ic subjects which it needs
through a process of economic
survival of the fittest." Man is
relieved of strife ^vith his fellow
man in a capitalistic society be-
cause each man is free to choose
what he wishes to buy or pro-
duce, not just accept what the
government produces.
Under socialism, man has o n-
1 y the responsibility o f produc-
ing what the state wishes. He is
not free to take his own ideas
and personality and display
them 1 0 others. In capitalism,
that responsibility to others can
be attained.
Our United States has pros-
pered materialistically and spir-
itually under capitalism. No oth-
er nation has been able to chall-
enge that under other forms of
economics. May we always be
open-minded and accept new
ideas, but oast aside those that
will hurt us, as surely the social-
istic system will.

CURRICULUM,
con't from p. 1. col. 1
ment.
Dr. Blair's job is to begin this
summer when she will review
various catalogues and decide
which colleges and universities
should be visited for study. Then
in the fall she and Dr. Shields,
accompanied by other faculty
members if the federal funds
make any more available, will
begin their visits and the study.
In speaking with Dr. Blair,
ihe stated that she was eagerly
anticipating the visits to other
schools because she hopes to
gain new insights and new ideas
for her own classes while per-
forming her primary purpose of
investigating the curriculum fo-
und there. She also re-empha-
sized the fact that no courses
were to be brought intact to
Maryville, but a tailor-made
program would be designed
from the findings of the study.
Dr. Shields said that he felt
afraid of, but challenged by, the
task confronting him, because
whatever evolves from this stu-
dy would determine in a large
degree, the future of Maryville
College. He also mentioned that
he felt he would return as a
better teacher because he would
be full of new ideas and renewed
in vigor and vitality.
In conclusion, regardless of
the outcome of the federal grant
which is pending, it is evident
that our administration and fac-
ulty has taken definite steps to
update the education opportuni-
ties available at Maryville and
to assure it an advancing role in
the changing world of modern
education.

by Dr. David P. Young
What makes an ideal student? (Would you believe B's?) No,
I hope it is safe to assume that we would not believe misty standards
such as grades as being the answer to this question. Instead of try-
ing to produce a definitive description of an ideal student I would
like to throw out for consideration a few attributes which seem to
me to be of fundamental importance. As a result these comments will
be more from the point of view of the type of student rather than
as to how he learns, how much he knows, or how well he does in
classes.

National Science Foundation
Gives $10,000
Maryville College has received
three National Science Founda-
tion grants totaling $10,000. The
money must be matched by the
College and will be used to pur-
chase equipment for teaching
psychology, biology, and chemis-
try.
The chief item of equipment
to be purchased is a physiograph
machine which will be used by
both the psychology and biology
departments. The instrument is
a much more complex form of
the polygraph or "lie detector"
machine and will be used for re-
search and experiments on the
campus. Dr. James Lyde of the
Biology Department has had
special training at Baylor Uni-
versity on the use of the instru-
ment.
New balances and other equip-
ment will be provided in the
Chemistry Department under Dr.
F. A. Griffitts, and the Psy-
chology Department under Dr.
Jerry Waters, and the Biology
Department under Dr. Randolph
Shields will also purchase ad-
ditional laboratory equipment
and supplies with the money.
Se«k by Questions
It seems to me that the most
important distinguishing char-
acteristic of an ideal student is
his ability to ask questions. I
feel that basically most students
on this campus are more concern-
ed with the answers than they
are with the questions. But what
is the value of knowing an ans-
wer? To me the value is that it
leads only to one more thing —
• another question. This is the
mode of learning — asking
questions. There are obviously
many types of questions, and
there is much more to questions
than just the asking. Unfortun-
ately, I suspect that most ques-
tions are of the kind that are
seeking a factual answer to a
problem for which the asker is
either too lazy or too uninspired
to find the answer for himself.
However, I am concerned here
with a different type of question.
I am talking about the questions
that are asked out of puzzlement
over two or more facts or ideas.
In other words, the kind that seek
to determine or delineate the
heart of a problem or to illumin-
ate a relationship. The asker will
have some facts at hand, but he
doesn't yet see the relationship
between them. He needs a ques-
tion to lead him to an answer.
In short you should expect to
come to a question with know-
ledge and to leave it with more
knowledge or direction for fur-
ther questions. Certainly, how-
ever, some questions will cause
you to seek more facts, but I feel
that the efficacy of asking
questions is too often missed by
potential learners. The ideal stu-
dent will be asking these kinds
of questions of his teachers (and
fellow students). And they are
just the kind that often embar-
rass a teacher or send him back
to his books or thoughts.
Use time, pace woric
Time is essential to all stu-
dents, and I would suggest that
it is even more so to the ideal
student. He sees it in a complete-
ly different light than most stu-
dents as he views it as a treasure
to cherish and use. Time is im-
portant because it is to be used
to open doors of all types and
sizes and not just the standard
sized ones pointed toward in the
ordinary classroom learning sit-
uation.
It seems to me that there are
at least two aspects to this prob-
lem of the use of time. In the
first place the ideal student will
use it to be truly creative. The
eternal complaint of all students
is that there is never enough
time. Unfortunately, this is a
problem that cannot be solved
because there is just so much
time available to each person.
Many students keep themselves
busy with just that which is re-
quired in order to get by in re-
gard to daily assignments. The
rest of their time is usually spent
unproductively either worrying
about not woricing at the re-
quired assignments or guiltily es-
caping into another activity
(which they rationalize as a
healthful getting away from it
all). In opposition to this con-
cept, the ideal student makes use
of his time so that he has some
left over from the "require-
ments" which can then be used
to refresh himself in a different
creative pattern such as music,
reading, thought, productive con-
versation, hiking, athletics, etc.
All of these areas may be totally
unreleated to regular assign-
ments, but the particular activity
with which this student becomes
involved is one which is an in-
tegral part of his way of lif#
and not done as an attempt to
escape or to avoid another duty.
The point is that this type of
student can get the "required"
done and then have time to be
productive in another area which
provides him with a broader and
deeper outlook and meaning for
life.
The second idea concerning
time is pace. I would suggest that
pace is the ability to organize
one's energies so that he is using
them at near maximum capacity
most of the time. There is a pace
to learning, to playing, to con-
centrating, to creativity, and to
every worthwhile activity. For
some the pace can reach a fur-
ious height as they pursue a topic
even to the exclusion of meals
and sleep. And then at other
times they may pace themselves
with less forcefulness. In a real
sense, this is the ability to stop
and go, both at full speed ahead.
The secret of pace is knowing
how to get the maximum out of
one's energies and abilities in
the ^ime available. Pace cannot
be taught; it must be acquired
by each person in his own way.
There are times to concentrate
and times to relax. The ideal stu-
dent can do both with nearly
equal vigor.
Look Ahead
There is a meaning to educa-
tion. If there were not then we
all might as well pack our lunches
and go to the mountains (which
may not be a bad idea anyway).
I would suggest that the ideal
student will be one who re-
cognizes that meaning and has
firmly in mind some values and
goals for what he is doing. This
is not meant to imply that the
ideal student is one who decided
at the age of five to be a doctor
and then pursued the task with
singlemindedness for the next
thirty years. Rather I am saying
that the ideal student will have
a direction to his education. This
direction may constantly change,
and it should as his values and
goals change, but nevertheless, he
does have some concept of the
long run. Too many people see
only to the end of their noses
and in their educational pattern
take things one at a time —
grade school, high school, col-
lege, graduate school and then
life — that great something out
there after one has been edu-
cated.
Find your style
As a capstone to this discus-
sion I would like to borrow an
idea from Alfred North White-
head. He once wrote the follow-
ing: "A merely well-informed
man is the most useless bore on
God's earth. This suggests to me
that the ideal student will not
necessarily be the most avid and
perpetual gatherer of informa-
tion, facts, and theories. Rather
I am inclined to favor Whit©,
head's additional suggestion thai
style is an important mark of
an educated man — and in our
context, the ideal student. Style
is the privilege of the expert and
the product of the specialist. It
is that attribute which sets the
ideal student apart from the
norm. It is that special thing
that each individual brings to his
own work. It is the expression of
personal talents in the fashion-
ing of power — creative and
forceful in its impact. It is that
characteristic which you can at-
tribute to the professional, the
one who can do the excellent
job. This style is that which
makes it so difficult to describe
the ideal student. For each one
who approximates this ideal
brings something of his own self
and talents to that ideal — there-
by changing it.
The ability to probe with
questions, the excellent use of
time, pace in learning, a pur-
pose, and an overriding style are
some of the marks of an ideal
student. What others would you
add?

10-The Highland Echo, May 20, 1966
SPRING SPORTS FINISH STRONG
Sonny Webb went 6-for-6 including a home run to lead the
Scots' 23-hit attack as they shelled Cumberland College 8-5 and 10-3.
Captain Sonny Hughes had four hits to boost his batting average
to .417. Jack Llewellyn (4-4j and Jim Bachus (4-4) were the winning
pitchers in the twin-bill and neither ran into any serious difficulty
as the Scots won their eighth and ninth games.
Bryan College managed to push across eight runs, but MC
scored ten as the Scots evened their record at 10-10 behind the
superb pitching of Jim Bachus and Jack Llewellyn. Llewellyn was
credited with the victory and became the Scots' winningest pitcher
with a 5-4 slate. He contributed two hits to the attack and boosted
his season total to three. Sonny Hughes got only two hits in five
attempts and his average suffered to .405.
Top .500
The Scots got over the .500
mark with a win over Knoxville
College. Jack Llewellyn went the
distance for MC and upped his
record to 6-4. Sonny Hughes
managed three hits in this con-
test. 'Iheir record this year, 11-
10, was the best in quite a while.
On several occasions, the Scots
came close but could not quite
come up with the game winning
tally as they lost six games by
one run. To some, this might
seem a negative factor, but it
must be remembered that the
starting line-up included three
freshmen, three sophomores, one
junior and only one senior. The
team gained invaluable ex-
perience and a lot of poise.
Prospects for next year look un-
usually bright. The only senior
on the squad was Captain Sonny
Hughes. Besides hitting .416,
Sonny coached the pitching staff
and provided the team with that
all-important element — maturity.
In losing Hughes, MC has lost
one of the best catchers in small
college baseball.
The Maryville College track
team closed out its 1966 season
with wins against Milligan and
Bryan to bring its record to 5
wins and 6 losses. In the case of
the Milligan Buffalo tally, the
Scots had 10 first places and
many seconds and thirds to
squeeze out an 82-63 victory.
Some of the highlights in the
third -home contest of the season
for Maryville included Dick
Craig's performance in both the
100 (10.2) and the 220 (23.0)
for first places. Bob Leach won
the 440 yard hurdles again in
somewhat slower than his usual
time, 61.3, though he was not
pushed at the finish.
Two mile record
In the two mile, it was fresh-
man Bob Cooper all the way as
he blasted the school record for
a first place. The record time
was 9:45.2 for eight laps. In the
customary fashion, the 440 relay
team (44.6) composed of Leach,
Dalton, Cropper, and Craig, and
the mile relay team of Leach,
Piper, Reed, and Craig (3:33.1)
each garnered five first place
points for the team victory. Terry
Amon won the 120 high hurdles
in 16.5.
Dalton Shines
In the field events, it was Mike
Dalton who monopolized the
activity. He jumped a hearty 42
feet 8% inches to break his own
school record and take first place.
He also managed a 20 foot ef-
fort to win the running broad
jump. Greg Hallen took the
javelin with his best throw of the
year (173' 91/2").
Scots Blast Bryan
In the Bryan romp, Maryville
scored first places in all but four
events. Leach blazed to a victory
in the 440 in 52.1 and McCamp-
bell took the 880 yard run in
2:02.1. Bob Cooper swept both
the mile (4:33.8) and the two
mile (9:57), while Leach turned
in another five points in his
favorite, the 440 hurdles (59.6).
The relay teams won again as
usual.
Field Men Strong
The thinclads were also suc-
cessful in the field events, domi-
nating the high jump, triple
jump, shot, discus, pole vault,
and the javelin. Clark cleared
5' 10" in. the high jump and Joe
Malloy vaulted to first place with
an ir6" effort. Hallen won the
javelin again with a 170' 10"
throw. The weights were led by
Pat O'Brien' and Monroe in the
shot and discus.
These are only the high points
in ai track meet marked by an
excellent team effort. Without
the numerous second and third
place tallies by the Scots, the
103-42 final score could never
have been amassed. It was a fine
way to end a rather mediocre
season.
PROPHECY, con*t from d. 5. col. 5
Southern Cafe has blossomed
into one of Maryville's most
popular night spots. This elite
establishment is now owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Frey. It
features the op-art paintings of
Mrs. Frey (the former Jean Rey-
nolds) and the gastronomic
specialties of Mr. Frey, includ-
ing "Plato's pizza," "Nietzsche's
noodles," and "Kierkegaard's
coleslaw."
A singing waitress has been
added to Southern U.C, increas-
ing the atmosphere of romance
and mystery. Further investiga-
tion revealed that this waitress
is none other than' Miss Sarah
Tompkins who is featured night-
ly-
On the international scene . . .
Dashing Rich Marshall, the
darling of Wall Street, was last
seen escorting a swinging social-
ite to a society ball. Rich is fre-
quently mentioned in gossip
columns as a prominent member
of the jet set.
Bill Gass and Lynn Howard
have been hired as secret agents,
but they are better known for
their disguise as tennis players.
Three native uprisings have
occurred in Cranbury, New
Jersey, since the Peace Corps
sent Jim MacDaid there.
Theodore D. Putnam has left
for Stockholm, Sweden, to ac-
cept the Nobel Prize for his dis-
covery of the First Waterspluble
Swimsuit. Of course, Mr. Put-
nam was accompanied by Mrs.
Putnam.
Many Maryville graduates
found it hard to leave the thriv-
ing metropolis. For example,
Herman Ramsey made a fortune
as a race driver at the Mary-
ville Speedway — maybe he'll
send some of his earnings our
way.
Susan Sober was recently initi-
ated into the Maryville Doctor's
Wives Club — she missed the
first three meetings cause she
couldn't decide what to wear.
Nancy Hooven's senior year
sunburn never disappeared. She's
been a cigar store Indian in
Gatlinburg ever since.
Edna Beatty and her husband
moved to Maryville where she's
now head majorette for the Al-
coa High School Band.
Betty Brown has a bee farm
outside town. She now supplies
the college with all its honey.
Helen Griffin recently became
the first woman engineer in the
Southern Railroad system. Final-
ly the Knoxville to Washington
trains are running on time.
Several Maryville graduates
were unable to attend the class
reunion.
Nancy Jane Mueller has es-
tablished a mission in Thailand,
but she keeps in touch with the
college as this year's Fred Hope
Fund was sent to her mission.
Dot Heismeyer set up a grape-
fruit farm in Florida and keeps
the college well-supplied.
Bill Erwin couldn't make it
either. Since being in the Marine
Corps, he now has the chapel
mice regimented and trained
and he's taken the show on a
cross-country tour.
Betty Robinson is in the Phil-
li pines, but the college now has
a beautiful Filipino musseum
thanks to her yearly gifts. Stan
Long is running for Governor of
Pennsylvania. He wanted to run
for Gov. of Alabama, but his
wife wouldn't let him live in the
South.
Sandy Chittick, assisted by
Judy Jenkins, has established a
home for "Wayward Yale Men"
in Geneva, Switzerland.
Chris Lim has returned to
Thailand after receiving her BS
in chemistry — she finds her
American Education handy in
her new business venture —
Chris' Pizza Palace.
Mary Ann Wilson, the world's
only woman jockey, rode to vic-
tory in the Kentucky Derby last
night Aboard "Chilhowee
Champ" of the Orange and
Garnet stables of Allen Fields.
Just released from the press
is the announcement of a new
Chief of Protocol — Miss Betty
Lou Sochocky.
Chuck Meeker is captain of
the Alumni Football Team.
Tom and Sandy Showalter had

— it's Ic cheaper there!
Ever since he was named to
the board of directors Mike
Shaver has been trying to get
rid of the music department.
Mike Dalton is married and
the father of seven sons — they
call 'em the Dalton boys.

Placement Bureau
A unique service for evaluat-
ing and marketing college re-
search papers, called the Re-
search Writers' Bureau Ltd., was
established in the New York area
recently in response to wide-
spread demand amongst publish-
ers for articles on academic sub-
jects. The firm is reported to be
the first organization of its kind
to concentrate its efforts entire-
ly on selling campus-written
material.
According to Richard Fen-
nelly, director of the literary
agency, there are thousands upon
thousands of periodicals, rang-
ing from the smallest journals
to some of the largest "slick"
magazines, which need well-
researched student manuscripts.
He reports that some of these
pay up to 10 cents per word for
this material.
"Academic journals are usually
the first and too often the last
place students consider as an
outlet for their work," Fennelly
says. "This is lamentable because
there are numerous semi-popular
magazines which pay decent
money for research writing. They
cover a wide field of interest, in-
cluding science, religion, history,
medicine and business." Virtually
every area of college study has
some representation in this type
of periodical, according to the
firm's director.
The new agency, which does
not return manuscripts unless
first queried with a description
of the paper, is located at 95-31
1{J4 St., Ozone Park, N. Y.

the second year upon successful
completion of the first year of

fees, a stipend, and child day care
expenses. Mrs. McNiell, a grad-
uate of Maryville College, will be
working toward her doctorate at
the University of Tennessee
where she also • received her
master's degree in 1955.
Peace Corps Seeks Volunteers For Micronesia
The Peace Corps, Monday,
launched an intensive nation-
wide recruiting campaign on col-
lege campuses to seek Volunteers
for its newest area of operation
— the Pacific islands Magellan
hailed as "paradise."
The new program for the Trust
Territory of the Pacific (Mic-
ronesia) was announced by
Peace Corps Director Jack
Vaughn, Secretary of the Inter-
ior Stewart Udall and Ambas-
sador to the United Nations
Arthur Goldberg.
World War II left paradise
with problems, they explained,
and the islanders have asked for
Peace Corps help to get ready
for self-government. TTie 2,141
mountaineous islands and sand
atolls in the West Pacific which
comprise Micronesia are now
administered by the U. S. In-
terior Department under a
United Nations mandate.
The accelerated program calls
for:
— A first group of Volunteers
to begin Peace Corps train-
ing in July in Hawaii and
arrive in Micronesia by
October.
— A second group to begin
training in October, also in
Hawaii, arriving in Mic-
ronesia in January, 1967.
The chain of events leading to
the new program:
On May 3 Secretary of the
Interior Udall forwarded to the
White House a request from
Micronesian leaders for Peace
Corps Volunteers to fill a short-
age of teachers, health aides and
community development workers
now slowing development.
President Johnson then wrote
Peace Corps Director Vaughn,
urging "the greatest possible in-
volvement."
Vaughn told newsmen Friday
the Peace Corps was "delighted
to respond to this request," and
announced that teams of re-
cruiters would visit college
campuses to explain "this op-
portunity and this need."
Secretary Udall said "the move
to put a strong Peace Corps team
in the Trust Territory is the most
important news that we have had
with regard to our administra-
tion there in the last five and a
half years."
Ambassador Goldberg noted
that it was "a very big under-
taking, because while the number
of people involved is relatively
small — 90,000 — they live on
97 islands scattered over three
million square miles of ocean.
Vaughn said present plans call
for sending "several hundred
Volunteers" to the Pacific is-
lands. The first group will be
trained in elementary education,
community development, public
health and public works. The
second group will concentrate on
secondary education, agriculture,
communications and transporta-
tion, public administration, and
cooperatives and credit union
organization.
Because of the special nature
of the program, the Peace Corps
has prepared a special applica-
tion form for the Trust Territory
and will notify aU applicants
within 15 days whether or not
they qualify. The usual place-
ment test has been suspended.

Maryville College has applied
for a grant under Title III of the
Higher Education Act of 1965.
Under the provisions of this
grant, money would be provided
to pay the salary of replacements
for several (the exact number
depending on the amount of the
grant) faculty members so they
might be free of normal teach-
ing duties for the school year
1966-1967. The purpose of this
action is to conduct a joint study
program with the University of
Tennessee and the Federal
Government to review the
changes and innovations made
in curriculum, especially core
curriculum, at other institutions.
In the process of this study, the
classes conducted under any such
new system would be visited and
an opinion poll would be taken
of both teachers and students af-
fected by it.
After study of at least twelve
to fifteen of these representative
institutions, a core curriculum
will be specifically designed for
Maryville which will fulfill the
purposes of this institution as
stated by the board of directors.
It is to be emphasized that in de-
veloping this new core curricu-
lum, no courses or systems are to

This special edition of THE HIGHLAND ECHO is being
sent to you in order to extend a preliminary word of welcome
to Maryville College. At the same time, we hope to give you
a glimpse of some of the activities that have recently taken place
on campus and to assist in acquainting you more fully with the
College generally.
All members of our faculty and staff are looking forward
to your arrival and the privilege of having you in our student
body. They join me in the hope that yo>ur college experience may
he stimulating and challenging both intellectually and spiritually,
and altogether enjoyable socially. It will be my continuing pur-
pose to be available for personal conferences with students
insofar as my official responsibilities permit.
Please accept for now my sincere good wishes for the vaca-
tion season and my assurance of the warm welcome that awaits
you on your arrival at Maryville College.
Joseph J. Copeland
President
After repeated meefings of
Student Council and its Election
Committee, the election of Ed
Greenawald as student body
president was declared null and
void. A discrepancy in Green-
awald's academic standing was
interpreted by Council to mean
that he would not he a senior
second semester next year and
so was not qualified to act as
a candidate.
In a repeat election held on
Saturday, May 21, history major
John MulhoUand from Youngs-
town, Ohio, was chosen to be stu-
dent body president for the year
1966-1967. Wolfe will serve as
vice president.
Because of the abnormal
character of this election, Mul-
hoUand was unable to present
the student body with his inten-
tions concerning next year's stu-
dent government. The following
is a brief summary of his pro-
posals :
1 . Student body meetings
more frequently to keep the lines
of communication open.
2. Student-faculty communi-
cation strengthened- through
various available means.
3. Work and study to con-
tinue into the establishing of a
third set of social societies.
4. Greater interest in the
academic life of the campus to
be stimulated by whatever means
available.
5. A faculty lecture series to
be arranged.
6. Student participation in
informal study seminars.
7. Possible Democratic and
Republican Party clubs set up
to develop serious interest in
American politics.
Due to the considerable im-
portance placed upon this pro-
gram b y our admuiistration, the
board of directors has author-
ized, exclusive of the Title III
decision, sufficient funds to free
two professors to work on this
program full time next year.
They are Dr. Blair of the English
department and D r. Shields,
chairman o f the Biology depart
mem.
Dr. Blair's job is to begin this
summer when she will review
various catalogues and decide
which colleges and universities
should be visited for study. Then
in the fall she and Dr. Shields,
accompanied by other faculty
members if the federal funds
make any more available, will
begin their visits and the study.
In speaking with Dr. Blair,
ihe stated that she was eagerly
anticipating the visits to other
schools because she hopes to
gain new insights and new ideas
for her own classes while per-
forming her primary purpose of
investigating the curriculum fo-
und there. She also rt -empha-
sized the fact that no courses
were to be brought intact to
Maryville, but a tailor-madt
program would b e designed
from the findings of the study.
Dr. Shields said that he felt
afraid of, but challenged by, the
task confronting him, because
whatever evolves from this stu-
dy would determine in a large
degree; the future of Maryville
College. He also mentioned that

SCIENCE BUILDING
From Page 1, Col. 3
Design of the new facility is
being based on a detailed study
made by the Philadelphia con-
sulting firm of Taylor, Lieber-
feld, and Heldman. The con-
sultants recommended totally new
science facilities on the campus,
and included preliminary draw-
ings for the new building based
on the College's enrollment pro-
jections and needs.
Sit* to be choton
A site for the new building is
still under study. When the new
building is built, an alternate use
will be found for the present
Fayerweather Science Hall, which
dates from 1898.
The site must be chosen and
final working drawings prepared
by the architects before bids can
be asked from contractors and
ground is broken for the new
building. Its construction will be
the second major building pro-
gram on the Maryville campus
since the completion of the Mar-
garet Bell Lloyd Residence for
Women in 1959.

^eae(a'i
"Many students never really
discover what education is all
about until their junior or senior
year of college." Did this, or
could this, possibly apply to you ?
This was the comment of Dr.
E. Fay Campbell, the Chaplain of
the College. This problem was
one of the sources for his new
book, Getting Ready for College.
"I am convinced," says Dr.
Campbell, "that neither the high
school, the church, nor the home
is adequately preparing students
for college." Getting Ready for
College is an attempt to have the
family and the church prepare
students for college. It is hoped
that the book will become a basis
for discussion among parents, the
minister, and the student.
Dr. Campbell has been as-
sociated with college campuses
all his life. He was involved in
the Christian Student Movement
at Yale University for twenty
five years. He has worked on
numerous campuses during the
last twenty years. He brings a
wealth of knowledge and under-
standing together in his book.
The college student, he says,
needs to be ready for the kind
of world which the college pro-
vides with its freedoms and prob-
lems. It is hoped that when he
is adequately prepared, he can
better meet the demands made of
him.

BOOK DISCUSSIONS
from Page 1, Col. 2
Raligiout Debate
On Friday, September 16, the
widely discussed volume by John
A. T. Robinson, Honest to God,
will be presented by a selected
group of faculty and students.
In his book Bishop Robinson
-says:
"The Bible speaks of a God
up there.' No aoubt its picture
of a three-decker universe, of
'the heaven above, the earth
beneath and the waters under
the earth,' was once taken quite
literally . . . Moreover, . . . most
of us still retain deep down the
mental image of 'an old man in
the sky.' Nevertheless, ... it does
not worry us intellectually . . .
because we have long since made
a remarkable transpositior of
which we are hardly aware . . .
In place of a God wno is literally
or physically 'up there' we have
accepted, as part of our mental
furniture, a God who is spiritual-
ly or metaphysically 'out there'
. . . This picture of a God, 'out
there' coming to earth like some
visitor from outer space under-
lies every popular presentation of
the Christian drama of salvation
... To be asked to give up any
idea of a Being 'out there' at all
will appear to be an outright
denial of God ... All I can do
is to try to be honest — ^honest to
God and about God — and to
follow the argument wherever it
leads."
Fenton Morley, a Vicar in the
Church of England, has this to
say about the book: "In general
the clergy have readily acknow-
ledged the effect of the book . . .
as a challenge and a stimulant.
They agree that the questions
which the Bishop poses are real
and important. But many of them
doubt whether the answers he
gives are adequate . . . From
their pastoral experience . . .
many clergy question whether
mankind has so come of age as
to be able to do \^ithout religion,
and is so mature intellectually as
to be in no need of signs or
symbols."
Books fo be MaHod
Copies of both books will be
mailed to all students who have
been accepted for fall and have
paid their admission fees. Books
will be mailed in late July. Pay-
ment for them will be made in
the College Book Store after the
students have arrived on campus,
when text books for the first
semester are selected.

The Lantern
Is Lit
New Dorm, Anyone?
by Aiico LeaHi
Very little Carnegie and no more Baldwin for incoming fresh-
men. No longer will the "plebes" learn to liye with mice, ants; bang-
ing radiators, creaking boards, and drafty rooms. The three new
dorms on campus will be ready for this year's freshmen with all
the comforts of modem living — even air conditioning. And to help
them settle down to plush dorm living and also make adjustments
to a whole new way of life is the corps of resident assistants and
senior counselors.
What may come as a surprise to many is that the number of
assistants and counselors have at least, if not more than, doubled to
handle the unit system in the dorms. Having had only ten resident
assistants in past years, this fall's frosh fellows will have 18-20 as-
sistants to take their problems to. There will be 29 senior counselors
in the women's dorms in contrast to this year's six. Nearly all of
these will be in the new dorms with a few in Pearsons and Carnegie.
Quickly Oriontod
The reason for so many as-
sistants and counselors is the
new unit systems in the dorms.
Each floor is divided into four
units with a lounge and a bath
shared by two units. Each small
unit, made up of eight freshmen
and one counselor, has a study
room aind storage space. Thus,
each freshman will have a better
opportunity for closer atquain-
tance with an upper classman
and, hopefully, to become orient-
ed more quickly to campus life.
The resident assistants and
senior counselors have a big
responsibility ahead of them.
There are four main goals for
them to strive for in assisting the
freshmen. Scholarship is the most
important point; they must help
the new students succeed acade-
mically by helping them or-
ganize their time for studying
and even by showing them now to
take good notes. Another im-
portant phase of the counselors'
work will be on the personal side
of life. They must make each new
student feel a part of what is
going on, and be always ready to
listen to problems and questions.
Organizing a happy, congenial
living situation is also important
by helping to coordinate room-
mates.
Assirt Frosh
All through the school year,
freshmen will be facing new
problems, meeting new people,
questioning goals and answers.
The assistants and counselors will
hdp with many decisions and
values in their lives. The resident
assistant program is indeed an
important and necessary phase of
campus woric.

For dear old Maryville
by Bob Young
And the Lantern is the campus
coffeehouse. And what goes on
inside it next year should make
it an interesting place to be oc-
casionally, or maybe often, or
maybe you won't like it at all.
We who work there sometimes
don't like it all ourselves, but
we're going to try to make those
times get completely lost among
the good times, the hootenannies,
the jazz festivals, programs on
the War, the peace, love, hate of
all kinds, many different things,
and all of them relevant to what
the student is thinking about to-
day. And perhaps what he could
be thinking about and doing
something about if he kn'ew what
was going on around him. When
the programs are over, and when
there aren't any programs, the
coffeehouse really becomes a
coffeehouse. It's the place where
a guy can come and sit over a
cup of coffee of one sort or an-
'Hher, and look at the guy across
he way. Maybe they've got a few
words for each other about a pro-
gram they saw there, or a paint-
ing on the wall, or a record on
the stereo, or Life In The Col-
lege, or what life is like Outside
The College, or the draft, or free
love. Maybe something that will
make it worth each other's while
to be there. Maybe play a guitar,
or sit and brood, or read some-
thing in the reading room. The
Lantern is a place where college
people can comf) and be them-
selves, and have a good time
doing it. But a coffeeh«-Jse is
just a room with people in it,
don't forget that. Remember the
people.
Our room is behind the library,
and we'll be open all through
orientation week.

Dr. Ganse Little
Leader of February Meetings
1965-1966
February Meeting Continue
Long College Tradition
B^ch year the college sponsors a series of meetings which are
set aside as a time designated for reflections upon what the church
is saying to us, as a college community today. This series is known
as the February Meetings and it usually takes place during the last
week of February.
Leaders for this series are selected from outstanding laymen
and ministers of the Christian Church. These leaders serve as
sources of inspiration both as speakers and as counselors as they
make themselves personally available to us.
When February meetings roll around next year, remember to
keep yourself alert — experience shows that anything can happen!

Great Year in
Store for Choir
by Sarah Tompkins
The College Choir, under the
direction of Dr. Harry H. Harter,
looks ahead to 1966-67 with en-
thusiasm and expectation for one
of the most eventful years in its
history. After singing in Beetho-
ven's Ninth Symphony with the
Knoxville Symphony Orchestra
this past April, the Choir has
l)een invited back for the pro-
duction of Carl Orffs CAR-
MINA BURANA on December
6, 1966. The performance will
also feature the Atlanta Civic
Ballet, and will be conducted by
David Van Vactor.
During the Christmas season
the Choir helps form the nucleus
for the annual presentation of
Handel's MESSIAH. The MES-
SIAH at Maryville is nationally
known and draws its audience
each year from Tennessee and
many adjoining states.
Carnegie Hall in New York
City will hear the voices of the
Choir for the first time on April
6, 1967. The concert will high-
light the Northeastern tour and
will be the focal point of a large .
alumni meeting to be held in the
city at that time.
E^ch year graduation leaves
vacancies to be filled in the ranks
of the Choir. Auditions for these
positions are held in September
and a any college student is
eligible for membership. Out of
the sixty-one voice membership
in 1965-66, only one- third of the
students were music majors,
while twelve major fields were
Africa!
Two Maryville students are
spending their summer in Africa
working on the Crossroads Africa
project. Student donations help-
ed to send these two students to
work in the Dark Continent. Jack
Noel is working in Liberia. He
will be helping build a YMCA
youth center near^ Monroevia.
Liberia is famous for its rubber
production and its six months of
heavy rainfall annually. Most of
the Liberians speak French, so
the Crossroaders have to com-
municate in this language.
Carol Pusey will help build a
youth center in a rural village
in Uganda. Uganda is located in
East Africa on the northeast
comer of Lake Victoria. It is a
beautiful country, famous for the
Mountains of the Moon and the
Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Although Uganda is on the equa'-
tor, it has a mild climate with
temperatures ranging from 60
to 85 degrees. Heat and high
humidity are prevalent in the
jungle areas.
The Crossroaders left in late
June and will return in time for
school next fall.

In addition to the various

In a spring -chapel service Dr.
Copeland announced to the stu-
dent body plans made by the
Board of Directors with essential
value to the future of Maryville
College. The preceedings of the
meeting of the Board included
several details of interest to the
concerned Maryville student.
Obvious to the eye are the
three new dormitories being built
on campus, but unknown to
many are the minute plans and
decisions necessary for this pro-
ject. Action was taken by the
Board to complete and furnish
these buildings with power for
completion being given, to the
Administrative Committee. The
total finance involved in these
three buildings is $2,050,000.
Also discussed in relation to the
building program were plans for
the Science Building which will,
be an expense of $1,500,000.
The plans are in the hands of an
architect and he will determine
the time for construction and
completion.
A tentative working budget
for maintaining the college in
1966-67 was adopted. The total
suggested budget was $1,700,000,
which is the largest in the history
of the college. The building pro-
gram budget was not included
here but was reviewed by the
Board. It was found that $190,-
000 alone was spent on the heat-
ing plant, new piping, etc., which
are of essential value to re-
sidences in the winter. While
speaking of monetary matters,
the Board retired a $200,000
debt on the Chapel during the
past year. As can be seen from
the given figures, Maryville Col-
lege is involved in a little "big
business" of finance.
The major factor of general
interest discussed, deliberated,
and approved by the Board was
the change to a five-day week of
classes, taking effect in the com-
ing year 1966-67. This change
will take place on an experi-
mental basis with an evaluation
and report dra\yn up at the con-
clusion of the year, helping
determine the permanence of
the change and its effect on
future calendar changes. In inter-
viewing Dr. Copeland on this
decision by the Board, he felt,
"It will be good, for all of us to
have some time of our own that
isn't 'scheduled.' This is a means
of enhancing our academic,
social, physical education, and
religious life and whether it will
. . . depends on how we use it."
Therefore MaryvjUe College is
not only in the middle of
financial planning and construc-
tion but also taking part in an
experiment that enables more
freedom in controlling time. The
success and future of these three
factors initiated by the Board of
Directors depend on the concern
and support from the faculty, ad-
ministration, andi students.

Young Team Looks to Future Netters Lead
Soot's Sports
The Roundballers suffered through a long and dismal 3-17
season. Of those games lost, six were by less than 10 points. The
team was hurt at the beginning of the year by the loss of Captain
Denny McGowan for six games.
Mid-season additions help
At mid-season, which coincided with semester break, the Scots
had posted an 0-10 record. They lost Dave Alexander (11.6 point
average with 7.5 rebounds per game) and Daffrell Maietta (7.6
point aijerage). But the loss was more than atoned for with the
addition of Bill Padgett (26.7 points per game with 7.7 rebounds),
Jon Hancher (6 points and 8 rebounds per game playing less than
half of each contest), and Darrell Stoker (5.5 points, and 4.5 re-
bounds per game).

The Scots play a lively brand

that are, to a man, taller. The
team should do better next year,
losing only McGowan to grad-
uation. As it stands now, with
only two rising seniors on the
squad, the young Soots should
work more like a team next year,

losses were to Tennessee Wesleyan

(4-5). Their many wins were
primarily by large scores — never
being seriously challenged ex-

Lynn Howard, a senior, played
the first position and posted the

for the first doubles team. Pete

Outlook
is Good
The Maryville College baseball
team finished the 1966 season
with 11 wins and 10 losses. The
Scottiea had many fine starters
this year, some with batting
averages over .300. Sonny
Hughes, a top-notch catcher,
among the top fifteen college
players in the nation, had an
average of .420. Other base-
ballers with averages above .300
were Don Payne, Rob Nicholas,
John Maietta, and Jon Hancher.
Many top freshmen contributed
to the team and were outstand-
ing in»the team effort. The pitch-
ing staff included Rob Nicholas,
Jack Llewellyn, and Jon Han-
cher.
Next years team has a promis-
ing future with several return-
ing lettermen. Coach Boydson
Baird has hi^h hopes for the
Scots who will be facing several
tough teams, including rival
Carson-Newman and the Univer-
sity of Tennessee.

The Maryville Wrestlers gave
Coach J. D. Davis a 5-6 record
for the 25th anniversarv of his
first wrestling team. TTiey re-
gistered wins against Carson-
Newman, Knoxville "Y" and
Emory. Once again the Scots
proved strong in the lightweight
divisions, but, unlike before,
there was an added punch in
the heavyweight.
Junior Ron Pritts wrestling at
130 lbs., went undefeated for the
season with a 10-0 record; then
continued his steak through the
SEC tournament and came out
champion. Sophomore John Hen-
derson was high point man with
39 points and a 9-3 season. He
wrestled his way to second place
in the SEC Tournament at 123
lbs. Sophomore Capt. Ralph
Johnson, the 1965 SEC champ
at 137, rose to 143 lbs. and came
out this year with an 8-2 record
and a broken finger. Sophomore
Tom Wylie, wrestling at 137 took
a: fourth place in the tournament.
The outlook for next year is
most promising: the Scots lose
no one to graduation. Neverthe-
less, there is a great need for
weight men — especially one who
will wrestle unlimited (more
than 191 lbs.).
The I960 Suui Trade Team
started weak but fijiished the
season strong. The Scots lost the
first four meets then ran over
the next three opponents by large
scores. They also placed second
in two triangular meets.

The Maryville College Scots, under the leadership of coaches
Howard Tomlinson, Lauren Kardatske, and Wilbur Ramsey, are
anticipating a fine year in 1966. The Soots have 24 returning
lettermen led by co-captains Don Story, a bone-crushing Tackier,
and Sonny Webb, an outstanding pass receiver.
The Scots expect to have one of the finest lines in Maryville
history, while the backfield may be slightly hindered by lack of ex-
perience. The perennially strong defensive contingent will be paced
by Story; Bill Carkhuff and Ernie Greeno are two other linebackers
who will see lots of action. Up front there will be such stalwarts
as John Forgety, a fine 207 pound tack]^; Steve Worrell, a strong
210 pounder; Charles Berry, 220 pound standout tackle; and hust-
ling Carl Gehman. The ends will probably be Webb and David Berry,
two exceptional defenders. In the defensive secondary will be Steve
Dockery, Ray Eaton, and Ralph McCambdl, backed up by Jim
Heck, Gary Phillips and Dave Ronco.

7C^<mM '^<m Relieve /lU A'^7
by Dr. David P. Young
What makes an ideal student? (Would you believe B's?) No,.
I hope it is safe to assume that we would not believe misty standards
such as grades as being the answer to this question. Instead of try-
ing to produce a definitive description of an ideal student I would
like to throw out for consideration a few attributes which seem to
me to be of fundamental importance. As a result these comments will
be more from the point of view of the type of student rather than
as to how he learns, how much he knows, or how well he does in
classes.
S«ek by Questions
It seems to me that- the most
important distinguishing char-
acteristic of an ideal student is
his ability to ask questions. I
feel that basically most students
on this campus are more concern-
ed with the answers than they
are with the questions. But what
is the value of knowing an ans-
wer? To me the value is that it
leads only to one more thing —
another question. This is the
mode of learning — asking
questions. There are obviously
many types of questions, and
there is much more to questions
than just the asking. Unfortun-
ately, I suspect that most ques-
tions are of the kind that are
seeking a factual answer to a
problem for which the asker is
either too lazy or too uninspired
to find the answer for himself.
However, I am concerned here
with a different type of question.
I am talking about the questions
that are asked out of puzzlement
over two or more facts or ideas.
In other words, the kind that seek
to determine or delineate the
heart of a problem or to ijlumin-
ate a relationship. The asker will
have some facts at hand, but he
doesn't yet see the relationship
between them. He needs a ques-
tion to lead him to an answer.
In short you should expect to
come to a question with know-
ledge and to leave it with more
knowledge or direction for fur-
ther questions. Certainly, how-
ever, some questions will cause
you to seek more facts, but I feel
that the efficacy of asking
questions is too often missed by
potential learners. The ideal stu-
dent will be asking these kinds
of questions of his teachers (and
fellow students). And they are
just the kind that often embar-
rass a teacher or send him back
to his books or thoughts.
Use time, pace work
Time is essential ,to all stu-
dents, and I would suggest that
it is even more so to the ideal
student. He sees it in a complete-
ly different light than most stu-
dents as he views it as a treasure
to cherish and use. Time is im-
portant because it is to be used
to open doors of all types and
sizes and not just the standard
sized ones pointed toward in the
ordinary classroom learning sit-
uation.
It seems to me that there are
at least two aspects to this prob-
lem of the use of time. In the
first place the ideal student will
use it to be truly creative. The
eternal complaint of all students
is that there is never enough
time.. Unfortunately, this is a
problem that cannot be solved
because there is just so much
time available to each person.
Many students keep themselves
busy with just that which is re
quired in order to get by in re-
gard to daily assignments. Tlie
rest of their time is usually spent
unproductively either worrying
about not woricing at the re-
quired assignments or guiltily es-
caping into another activity
(which they rationalize as a
healthful getting away from it
all). In opposition to this con-
cept, the ideal student makes use
of his time so that he has some
left over from the "require-
ments" which can then be used
to refresh himself in a different
creative pattern such as music,
reading, thought, productive con-
versation, hiking, athletics, etc.
All of these areas may be totally
unreleated to regular assign-
ments, but the particular activity
with which this student becomes
involved is one which is an in-
tegral part of his way of lif*
and not done as an attempt to
escape or to avoid another duty.
The point is that this type of
student can get the "required"
done and then have time to be
productive in another area which
provides him with a broader and
deeper outlook and meaning for
life.
The second idea concerning
time is pace. I would suggest that
pace is the ability to organize
one's energies so that he is using
them at near maximum capacity
most of the time. There is a pace
to learning, to playing, to con-
centrating, to creativity, and to
every worthwhile activity. For
some the pace can reach a fur-
ious height as they pursue a topic
even to the exclusion of meals
and sleep. And then at other
times they may pace themselves
with less forcefulness. In a real
sense, this is the ability to stop
and go, both at full speed ahead.
The secret of pace is knowing
how to get the maximum out of
one's energies and abilities in
the time available. I^ace cannot
be taught; it must be acquired
by each person in his own way.
There are times to concentrate
and times to relax. The ideal stu-
dent can do both with nearly
equal vigor.
Look Ahead
There is a meaning to educa-
tion. If there were not then we
all might as well pack our lunches
and go to the mountains (which "
may not be a bad idea anyway).
I would suggest that the ideal
student wiU be one who re-
cognizes that meaning and has
firmly in mind some values and
goafe for what he is doing. This
is not meant to imply that the
ideal student is one who decided
at the age of five to be a doctor
and then pursued the task with
singlemindedness for the next
thirty years. Rather I am saying
that the ideal student will have
a direction to his education. This
direction may constantly change,
and it should as his values and
goals change, but nevertheless, he
does have some concept of the
long run. Too many people see
only to the end of their noses
and in their educational pattern
take things one at a time —
grade school, high school, col-
lege, graduate school and then
life — that great something out
there after one has been edu-
cated.
Find your style
As a capstone to this discus-
sion I would like to borrow an
idea from Alfred North White-
head. He once wrote the follow-
ing: "A merely well-informed
man is the most useless bore on
God's earth. This suggests to me
that the ideal student will not
necessarily be the most avid and
perpetual gatherer of informa-
tion, facts, and theories. Rather
I am inclined to favor White,
head's additional suggestion that
"style is an important mark of
an educated man — and in our
context, the ideal student. Style
is the privilege of the expert and
the product of the specialist. It
is that attribute which sets the
ideal student apart from the
norm. It is that special thing
that each individual brings to his
own work. It is the expression of
personal talents in the fashion-
ing of power — creative and
forceful in its impact. It is that
characteristic which you can at-
tribute to the professional, the
one who can do the excellent
jo^. This style is that which
makes it so difficult to describe
the ideal student. For each one
who approximates this ideal
brings something of his own self
and talents to that ideal — there-
by changing it.
The ability to probe with
questions, the excellent use of
time, pace in learning, a pur-
pose, and an overriding style are
some of the marks of an ideal
student. What others would you
add?

In America the humble college dormitory stands as a living
monument to the ravages of baser intellectualism. Time and count-
less epigrams are etched in its ageless scum-green wall. Scars of
hard-fought battles streak its homely facade. Deep in its heart out-
moded washing machines rumble on into the night. Aimless feet
track the mud of earthy adventures through its ever-open doors.
Ceaseless oaths echo down refuse-strewn halls, and the pitiful few
who seek knowledge must escape to a barren study room — a room
tantalizingly close to sticky Coke machines and guitar strumming
goof-offs. Show me the soul who can resist that temptation.
The college dormitory is a loosely tied bundle of cyclic cliches —
water balloons, Chinese fire drills, firecrackers, weekly search for
the sacrificial victim to appease the gods of the fishpond, apple and
orange flings, toilet paper decorations, furniture removals, door re-
movals, banshee scream imitations, hall light globe fallings and
crashings, house mother hatings, bridge tournaments, ping-pong
tournaments, dog chasing tournaments, crowding the mailbox stuffer,
proctor evasions and bike borrowings.
From the rooftop sunbather to the solitary stoop sitter, the
lifeblood of the dorm is people — residing people, visiting people,
tired people, loud people, machine filling people, newspaper deliver-
ing people, couple people, single people, sneakered people, shirtless
people, greasy people, watchman people — all shapes, sizes, races
and denominators and no two alike though some alove.
Cold in winter, hot in summer, noisy always, never complain*
ing, unbigoted, staunch and proud it stands. Home to the homeless,
hideout of wandering minstrels, defender against the elements, keep-
er of secrets and friendships, heritage for generations of roaches,
please no smoking in your room, and guardian of fermenting know-
ledge — quietly serves the dorm.
And quietly the inmates accept growth, change, fate, failure,
loneliness, mononucleosis and cold showers. Gradually an older and
wiser, if not more confused, individual comes to realize that his
dorm has been but one more home on the journey, and in nesting
there he has learned to love it, and leave it after four years with
a stronger constitution and no regrets.
Immortal dorms we love you.

not have to be able to speak pro-

have to be rich (i.e. you do not
have to finance your own trips) ;
and you do not have to be a
windbag. To put it simply, the
debate team needs new members
next year and we are inviting
you to talk to Dr. Walker (who
really is a lot of fun, if you like
that sort of thing) or any of the
members of the debate team and
find out what a debate team
really is in spite of its image. It
is challenging and rewarding,
else I would not have stuck with
it for four years. Moby likes it
even — he says he wishes he had
started as a freshman! But the
problem is that Moby is leaving,
along with two other seniors, and
we need other students to fill the
ranks. If the first sentence of
this "plea" appeals to you, at
least inquire about the possibili-

The Lettermen, three young
men who can take a song that
was a hit 20 years ago and make
it a hit all over again, are com-
ing to Maryville College October
7. They will perform in the
Chapel at 8:15 p.m. under the
sponsorship of the Student
Council.
The trio, now one of the most
successful groups in the country,
have recorded more than a dozen
hit singles and albums, including
"The Way You Look Tonight,"
"When I Fall in Love," "Once
Upon a Time," "Silly Boy,"
"Again," 'Theme 'From a Sum-
mer Place' " and others.
The successful records estab-
lished a demand for the group
on television and in colleges
throughout the country. They
were voted the No. 1 college at-
traction in a Billboard Magazine
poll, and they have appeared re-
cently on television on the Red
Skelton Show, Hollywood Palace,
and with Jack Benny, Ed Sul-

In commemoration of the 147th
year of Maryville College, on
Tuesday, September 27, the stu-
dent body, faculty and ad-
ministration gathered for the an-
nual Founder's Day and Con-
vocation. After referring to the
obvious disappointment — in light
cf Dean Rusk being here last
year — because a pK>litical dis-
agreement had prevented the col-
lege from getting the President
of the United States we would
have to settle for "another" Pre-
sident, Dr. Copeland made the
address.
President Copeland spoke about
the role of the church- related
liberal arts college, saying that
there must be a reconciliation of
the best possible education with
the conservation of basic human
■ values. "Being a liberal arts col-
lege compels us to deal with
knowledge and human values . . .
there can be no separation be-
tween mind and spirit."
Know believingly
He also stated that any college
that neglected either of these,
qualities — knowledge or human
values — was not being true to it-
self. A college must have a
philosophy of education and a
faculty that is willing to pursue
it; a student body committed to
learn ; and a church allowing the
college the freedom to inquire.
Dr. Copeland ended his ad-
dress with a paraphrase of Har-
vard President Nathan Pusey:
"Believe knowingly, and know
believingly.'*

Happiness is old friends, chapel, favorite (and some not-so-
favorite) profs, conflicting schedules, and even short tempers and
long lines.
Happiness is an armload of books, waiting in line at the
Treasurer's Office, ruruiing down the stretch to beat the bell before
chapel.
Happiness is a bull session at 1 :00 am, a Coke at the student
center, and helping the "green frosh" get adjusted— and remember-
ing when you first arrived.
Happiness is a crowded hallway, a heap of coats and umbrellas
outside a classroom, a friendly smile — even on a dreary day.
Happiness is a term paper, or outside reading or — would you
believe — independent studies.
Happiness can ever be a thoughtful question or a well-thought
answer, looking forward to finals, and, of course, comps.
But most of all, happiness is being challenged, confused,
frustrated, disappointed, efated. and knowing that it is here that
YOU belong.

4— The Highland Echo, September 30, 1966
Scots Drop Opener Sm tt Snea/lUnA. Scots Swamped
By Georgetown
Playing before a wet home-
crowd, the Scots of Maryville
dropped their first game to the
Lynx of Southwestcwn of Mem-
phis by a score of 5-0. The
statistics put Maryville in the
lead in every regard but the
score. Maryville outgained South-
western 198 yards to 178 yards.
SOUTHWESTERN SCORES
The first Southwestern score
came early in the second quarter.
Driving from their own' 33 yard
line, the Lynx were finMly stop-
ped on the Scot 14. From that
point Randall MuUins kicked a
field goal. A second field goal
attempt late in the same period
failedi— leaving the halftime score
3-0 in favor of the Lynx.
In the third quarter Maryville,
in a third down situation from
their own 6, decided to kick. The
hike from center sailed over punt-
er Dave Garner's head and out
of the end zone for a two-point
safety.
SCOTS DRIVE
The fourt* quarter proved to
be the most exciting of the game.
The Scot defense was holding,
and, late in the fourth quarter,
it looked like the offense was
finally clicking. Freshman
quarterback Sullivan passed to
Sonny Webb. The Lynx defender
almost intercepted but instead'de-
fleeted the ball into Webb's
hands. Sonny ran to the 5 before
being brought down.
With first and goal from the
five, the Scots looked like they
were in a good position to score
— the stands came alive. On the
first play, Kleim ran to the right
side of the line for one yard.
Garner then ran to the left sfde
for no gain. A pass from Sullivan
to Berry was incomplete — the
ball knocked down at the last
minute by the Lynx defender.
On fourth down, Maietta threw
a similar pass to Berry, but this
one was intercepted on the 3.
The Lynx kept the ball for two
plays. Then, on third down, they
kicked from inside the 5. A short
kick by Bill Hendrick gave the
Scots another chance with a first
and 10 from the 34. With one
minute to go, Crabtree passed to
Webb for 15 yards. But the next
three passes, alternating between
Webb, and Garner, were incom-
plete. On fourth down Lynn
in spite of the early monsoon
season, W.A.A. has managed to
begin its first fall sports — field
hockey and tennis. The first field
hockey game should prove to be
interesting due to the enthusiasm
coupled with inexperience of
many players.
Tennis will begin as soon as
someone manages to set up work-
able singles and doubles tourna-
ments. 1 here will also be a mixed
doubles tournament??? (Con-
gratulations Becky and Pete for
signing up.)
A volleyball team consisting of
only the best will be heading to
Last Tennessee State University
in November. Here's hoping the
traditional losing streak is
broken.
The "M" Club will be retreat-
ing to Cades Cove this week-end
to re-examine, reorganize, and
replan this year's intramural pro-
gram.
Dodez ran for 4 yards up the
middle, but the ball went over
to the Lynx who proceeded to
run out the clock with two plays.

Georgetown College took its
twelfth straight victory by de-
feating the Scots 28-— 6. The
Scots now have a string of 13
consecutive winless games.
Georgetown was in complete
command, its offense piling up
almost 350 yards while its de-
fense held Maryville to a mere
83.
Georgetown scored in the first
period on an 8-yard pass from
Stevens to Gallaher. Seals added
the extra point. In the second
period Georgetown scored again
on a spectacular 53-yard run.
Maryville came alive late in
the second quarter and showed
signs of trying to stay in the
game when freshman Paul John-
son took a punt on his own 47
yard-line and ran for a touch-
down— 53 yards total. The kick
for the extra point failed. At
halftime the score was 14 — 6.
In the third quarter George-
town, looking very impressive,
buried the Scots as they hit for
two quick touchdowns and then
clamped down on the Scot of-
fense for the rest of the game.

Former President
Returns To
Campus
Maryville College President
Emeritus and Mrs. Ralph W.
Lloyd, who now live in Braden-
ton, Fla., arrived on the Mary-
ville campus Monday September
26. Dr. Lloyd has been commis-
sioned to prepare a new history
of Maryville College for the
Sesquicentennial in 1969 and
will be doing preliminary work
on the new voluume.
Dr. and Mrs. Lloyd were the
guests of Maryville President and
Mrs. Copeland at Morningside,
and he led Chapel on Tuesday
morning.
Dr. Lloyd, President of Mary-
ville College from 1930 to 1961,
was honored during Commence-
ment ceremonies in the spring of
1965, when an endowed teaching
position, the Ralph W. Lloyd
Chair of Philosophy and Re-
ligion, was named in his honor.
The Chair was established by the
College's Board of Directors, and
$100,000 has been placed in the
fund by the Board. The fund will
eventually reach $500,000 and
will enable the College to employ
an outstanding scholar and teach-
er in the field of philosophy and
religion.
Some of the income from the
investment will also be uSed to
set up a special lecture series to
bring other leaders in philosophy
and theology to the campus.
Dr. Lloyd will be making trips
to Maryville from time to time
in the future as work progresses
on the historical volume.

CDITCI^IAL CLTLCCr jhe Highland Echo SEEN
This past week many persons — college students, businessmen,
factory workers, housewives, and those in the outer limits of a "lost
generation" — all alike, * have been witnesses to one of the most
degrading and shameful episodes in American political history. Who
would have thought — no, even dared to speculate — that a. fiery
segregationist who had received a super-abundance of scorn from
all fifty states would now be the Democratic candidate for governor
of one of the Southern states?
Most every one remembers a few y^rs ago when Lester Mad-
dox, then a high-spirited restaurant owner in Atlanta^ defied a
Federal court order to desegregate his restaurant. Many agreed with
his position that anyone operating a business had the right to serve
whom he desired — but could not agree with his policy of racial dis-
crimination. Some even applauded — silently or other wise — when
Mr. Maddox, rather than obey the court order, willingly closed his
place of business. But there was a far greater number who looked
with disgust on what had happened to human rights and dignity in
Atlanta, Georgia. Now, a great segment from those two widely
diverged groups have met on common ground and have just re-
cently witnessed the results of bigotry and enmity.
Perhaps the question arises, "Will the state of Georgia rise —
or rather, sink — along with the fiascos of Mississippi and Ala-
bama?" or "How could this state, which apparently was making
such good headway in the struggle to assure the civil rights to all
its citizens, pull itself back into a cave where everyone stumbles over
his own sholaces in the darkness? Perhaps only the electorate can
decide what it wants for its own government.
What does this have to do with the "average student" at Mary-
ville College, snuggled back in the foothills of the Chilhowee moun-
tains where all are equal? Outside of a few students from that state,
what does the political scene in another state have to do with, litde
ol' unbiased and complacent you and me? Perhaps the moral —
if that could possibly be the right word — of the story is to never
feel that a reactionary group or candidate whose whole policy is
based on the fallacious theory that one race, viz. WASP, is superior
to any other could wrench political control out of the hands of
reason and moderation. But whatever the result of the future election,
for the present, people across the country are looking on with em-
barassment and shame. Maybe we will realize that the road ahead is
still long and steep.

...AND HEARD
Nor did she resemble a cow in her breast . . . built-in Bermudas . . .
we just had our first fight: this year . . . Pamela who? ... I don't
want her to lose her chastity, but I don't like the way she keeps
swinging it around . . . from the Andes to the Indies in his Undies.
In an attempt to keep the lines of communication open between
the administration and the students, the editor recently talked to
President Copeland about a matter which concerns every student of
the college. In response to several complaints, questions, and rumors,
it was felt that the students, should know what is going on in the
dining room. This is what Dr. Copeland had to say . . .
Many of the students are wondering why the college dining
room has changed from the family style meals, which it had always
used in the past, to a buffet style. We realize that many students,
upper-classmen especially, prefer the family style meals. However,
this was no longer practical . . .
There are now more students (888 to be exact) and more
iving in the dorms and eating in the dining room than ever before
(approx. 90%). It was no longer feasible to continue as we had
done before . . .
Last year was a period of experimentation and evaluation: two
separate eating periods were used. But this was too rigid and not
satisfactory. It cost more money to feed each student; and the
shifting of eating times by individual students caused an undue
burden since the dining room was set up for a certain number each
period . . .
The reason for changing to the buffet style meals was an at-
tempt to allow the student to eat at any time he choses. A cafeteria
was considered, but the total cost { $30,000) was impractical in the
present .building . . .
Because of the messiness of the present buffet meals and
because of the desire of most students to have at least one meal
family style each day, it was decided to make the evening meal
family style and have two periods, 5:30 and 6:15. This will already
be in effect when the paper comes out, but it is important to stress
that its success or failure depends on the students' responsibility to
eat at his assigned period and not shift to the other period . . .
We hope that this will be more satisfactory.

Forever
by Jim GiHord
It was amazing how litde things had changed since he'd been
gone. It had only been two years since he'd left the campus — two
years; it could well have been two lifetimes. The breeze blew in
his face; it reminded him of the day when he'd left her — it made
him stop and think how all his physical sensations and all his
memories linked him to her. Her smile was the light of his life, the
one pure, sparkling spot in, what could have otherwise been, a very
dull existence. And yet, when he had stood there with her that last
day, his future was bright. He had graduate school to look forward
to, and look forward he did. He was a throwback to the old days;
he loved to learn. He had often told himself, in the days before he
left, that, were he as smart as she was beautiful, he might well be
conceded a Ph.D.
And so they had stood there —
she, eager for him to find his
dreams and fulfill his potential-
ities — yet more "orry to see
him go than she'd ever been in
her life; he, eager to go and
search and find and grow and
succeed — yet more sorry to
leave her than he'd ever been
in his life ; for she was his dream
and with her — her just being
there, her smiles, . . . holding
hands, warm kisses — her, her,
her, — he knew he could do it
all. Life was a flower to be pick-
ed at his leisure.
How rudely awakened they'd
both been when the draft call
came — patriotism wasn't lost in
him — or her — Yet ... it just
didn't seem fair — not them.
Why God?
But that was long ago . . . Still
he drifted across the campus,
seeing things in a new light —
cherishing things which before
had been taken for granted, and^
almost as if in a dream, she was
there . . . walking alone down
those quiet, leaf -strewn sidewalks,
kicking her way along like a little

for none of her daydreams could

Scots Shut Out Lions
The Maryville College Scots chalked up its first victory in 11
attempts by downing the Mars Hill Lions 17-0 last Saturday. Now
boasting a 1-2 record, the Scots are preparing for the annual Home-
coming game, on Saturday, this year against the Emory and Henry
Wasps of Emory, Virginia.
The victory last Saturday was impressive, with very few
mistakes made by the Scots. Coach Tomlinson, when asked to name
a few of the standouts, said, "It was a team effort; all should he
named as standouts."
Maryville started the scoring in
the first quarter. With the ball
on their own 20, the Scots moved
80 yards, going across the goal
line on a 5 yard run by Fiesh-

Something new has been added
to the regular activities around
campus this year. It is the organ-
ization of the Maryville College
Married Students Society. It has
been initiated to welcome newly
married couples to Maryville Col-
lege and to help them establish
themselves in the community.
Aside from the social benefits of
this new group it will also serve
as a sounding board when any
special problem arises between
the married student and his or
her studies.
Mrs. E. C. Tliomas, wife of
the Dean of Men, will be the
sponsor.
The next meeting will be held
on October 8th and will be a pol-
luck supper held after the foot-

Playhouse Presents Our Town
Our Town, a play written by Thornton Wilder, will be pre-
sented Friday and Saturday evenings, October 21 and 22, in the
College Theatre under the direction of Tom Jones.
The play takes place in Grovers Comers, New Hampshire,
a typical small town. The first act outlines the history of the town
and something of the character of its citizens. Then the scene moves
into the houses of the Gibbs and Webb families, substantial homes
containing substantial people.
The second act concerns the love affair between George Gibbs
and Emily Webb. It culminates in a moving wedding scene, which
contains all those elements of sorrow and abundant happiness that
make for solemnity and impressiveness.
In the third act the action takes
place ilt a cemetery on a hill
where many of the townspeople
are patiently and smilingly await-
ing, not "judgement," but great-
er understanding. Into their midst
is led the bride Emily, a little
timid at first, wishing a little to
go back to life, to live again with
her memories. But she is shown
how impossible and futile it
would be to return. The past can-
not be relived. Truth is to be

In Memoriam
On Sunday, October 16.
Brownie, the beloved brown dog
who was always seen around the
campus, was struck by a car on
Washington Avenue and killed.
According to some sources, it was
learned that Brownie had been
around the college campus for
more than ten years. He was a
favorite among all Maryville stu-
dents, and will be greatly missed.

LBJ's Gettysburg Address "■'•'* "Jghiond Echo
by ROBERT EWEGEN
editor of the Colorado Daily
{As presented by Little Boy Johnson, president of the United
States and grandson of a former President whom we all know and
love. The address was delivered at the dedication of the American
military cemetery *'Gettysburg East" outside of Saigon in the year
2052.)
Mah fellow Americans:
Foah score and seven yeahs ago, my grandfather brought forth
upon this continent of Asia a new political concept, conceived in
expediency and dedicated to the proposition that we are better
dead than red.
Now we are engaged in a Great Society (oops, I mean a Great
Civil War), and for that matter have been engaged in that Great
Civil War for four score and seven years now, testing whether that
concept of a permanent American military presence in Asia or any
concept so ill-conceived and so ineptly executed, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war, a battlefield
where General Ky was overthrown by General Hee, where General
Hee was overthrown by General Me, where General Me was over-
thrown by General Wee, where General Wee was overthrown by
General Gee, and so forth through the 56 different coups that
finally culminated last spring in General Flea's government, which
we are now convinced is in a position to bring to this nation the
political stability that is so necessary if we are to begin to effectively
roll back the aggression from the north.
Excuse me folks, I just received an urgent note. (Oh no, not
again.) Hrrumph. What I meant was the 57 coups which finally
culminated in General She's coup three minutes ago which we are
finally convinced is in a position to at last offer this nation the
political stability that is . . .
Hmmrph. Be that as it may. We have come to dedicate this
battlefield as a fitting memorial to the light to moderate losses that _
our forces have sustained over the past 87 years so that my grand-
father and his successors could test the theory that the way to bring
Hanoi to the peace table was to escalate further.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, and
anyone who thinks otherwise is a nervous nellie and probably
a traitor besides and simply helping to prolong the war.
The world will long note and long remember what we did here,
probably because we will still be long doing it, but the world will
probably never understand WHY we did it.
And frankly, I'm fed up with that kind of idiotic questioning
emanating from the capitals of the world over the last nin# decades!
I DON'T CARE WHY WE ARE HERE! THE POINT IS WE ARE
HERE AND ITS TOO LATE TO PULL OUT NOW! WE ARE
GOING TO STAY HERE: WE ARE GOING TO ESCALATE! THIS
UNPATRIOTIC PRACTICE OF DEFERRING GRANDFATHERS
HAS TO STOP SO THAT WE CAN BUILD UP OUR TROOP
COMMITMENT TO 68,000,000 MEN. ONLY THEN WE WILL
HAVE AN ADEQUATE STRENGTH RATIO OF 84 to 1 NECES-
SARY TO PUT DOWN THIS INSURRECTION.
And as long as I am president, mah fellow Americans, I promise
you this: we shall not withdraw, I promise that this nation, under
me, shall have a new birth of conformity (boy will we shut up those
peaceniks) and that government of consensus, by manipulation for
the sake of saving face, shall not perish from the earth, although
admittedly the population might.

CDITCI^IAL CUTLCCr
by Doug Gamble, Assistant Editor
When we received the Good News about MC's new class at-
tendance policy, after Joy, we wondered what the reaction of the
Community would be. The results are by no means conclusive yet,
but the trends we expected to develop are devdoping.
A portion of the students eligible for freedom of attendance is
doubtless being too enthusiastic. And it will ^ow up in January. It
seems, though, that the cutting is being done, for the most part, with
some degree of selectivity. The classes generally considered "good"
(just what is that?) are remaining crowded. Others, though, con-
sidered unworthy of the climb, are less and less stuffy. The classes
which are not offering are being cut. Those that have obvious value
(and we are the first to realize that true value is obvious many
times only in retrospect) are being attended.
A percentage of the instructors who are having the most paper-
work are faulting "The System." Here, then, is where "The System"
should do the most for the General Good. It is clear to us that some
introspection, or at least a little dismay, is the order of the year for
those in charge of the emptier rooms.
"Why" might be the response of the conscientious; "damn the
System" is that of the unconscious.
A plea, then: Students, be careful. Staff, a recognition of the
beginning of an effective criticism by those who have had some
"success" ?
And just how are we supposed to prove that we are sick enough
to be legally ill? Would you believe Barf? But only one at a time.
And quietly.

Letter to the
Editor
• Of
AND HEARD
Dear Editor,
How are you? I was fine, until
the other night. A strange thing
happenned in the Lantern. One of
our happy campus couples was
sitting there, in the usual arm-
over-shoulder non-talk attitude,
enjoying being there I guess, I
didn't ask, when one of the
"authorities" of the college enter-
ed and told them to break it up,
and accused them of "conserva-
tive love-making," whatever the
hell that is. Now, as everybody
knows, getting this sort of ob-
noxious and unwarranted news is
the common lot of many couples
at Maryville. The reasoning given
is that "it looks sloppy and makes
a bad impression," which rea-
soning disgusted and insulted
students have rejected for years.
Their disgust would not be so
complete if they were allowed to
be together, relatively unmolest-
ed, somewhere on campus. Yet
couples are still accosted by the
various deans for sitting together
too closely on a bench. I retch at
this ignorance of human emo-
tions, but retching is not my
point. I want it known that the
coffeehouse by its very nature
does not abide by this bit of
making good impressions on
other people, or keeping up the
artificial social front, just because
the administration thinks these
are the nice things to do. The ad-

An Ode To Freshmen
It's the cat's pajama
To yell "Yama Yama,"
And to be a flapper
Is very dapper.
So with a "23 Skidoo'*
Sig and Theta say to you —
Don't be shy, don't be meek.
Come and join us in Rush Week
We've been working hard, working long,
A great show for you we're going to put on.
"The Roaring Twenties" is our theme,
A lot to you we hope it'll mean.
An exciting era we've found ourselves in.
Our only drawback — no bathtub gin!
But there's flappers and gangsters both good and bad,
And the clothes they wear are now the fad.
Thursday and Friday are the big days of action,
We hope we'll see an eager reaction.
For 2 big days our Rush will last,
And as Sigs and Thetas the whole year's a blast.
We're filled with spirit and all excited.
So come and join us, you'll be delighted.
Ja da, ja da, jing, jing, jing,
Sig-Theta Rush is the greatest thing!

wrong now in thinking that the
coffeehouse is some woman's
dorm, and subject to the same old
harassment b y self-appointed

To my knowledge, no one has
yet acted improperly in the

tinues, the people who choose to
come over now and again should
not feel the hot breath of a
moral censor over their shoulders.
I invite those who enjoy such

to mind their own business when

found only in the future; for liv-
ing people, humans occupied with
their petty occupations and small
thoughts, know little of true joy
or happiness.
Director Tom Jones has made
a few changes in Our Town in
relation to the stage and scenery.
The use of a "raked stage" at-
tempts to make the audience feel
more like actors rather than an
audience.
The scenery is called a "space
stage" — a few chairs, tables,
and benches. Two ladders and a
painting of Grant Wood's "The
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere"
give the play a certain effect or
mood.
Lighting also plays a major
role in this production, as there
are extensive freezes and breaks
and follow-ups throughout the en-
tire production.
The concept of the play itself
was borrowed by Wilder from
the Kabuki Theatre in Japan;
and this concept will be carried
out in the Playhouse production.
He who early learns restraint,
attains freedom with comfort;
he who submits to it late, gains
but a bitter freedom. Goethe

Scots Drop Homecoming
The Maryville College Scots
dropped their Homecoming game
to the Emory and Henry Wasps
by a score of 15-0. The Wasps
scored in the second quarter, then
blitzed Paul Rankin and Doug
Faris to keep the Maryville of
twice for 1 1 yards. A pass inter-
ference call on the Wasp defense
helped sustain the drive. But the
Wasp defense held where they
had to — on the 4 yard line. In
four plays, the Scots could do no
better than lose 5 yards, and the
fense rushing its plays. The Wasp Wasps took over and ran out the
offense was spearheaded by clock, leaving the final score in
their favor 15-0.
This being Homecoming, half-
time festivities included not only
the performance of the band, but
also the presentation of the
Homecoming queen. Miss Dottie

Timmy Sarver's running, 14 car

Scots, key defensive plays were

r
Wasps score
The Wasps scored with
minutes left in the second quarter yards passing
on a 5 yard end run by quarter- passes
back Sonny Ward. The score
capped a drive from the Scot 43
yard line. Ellis put the extra
point on the score board for
Emory and Henry. At half-time
the score stood 7-0 in favor of
the Wasps.
It looked like the Scots would
control the second half as they
came out of the break with three
quick first downs. But the drive
stalled on the Wasp 39 yard line
and they were forced to punt.
The Scots lost an opportunity to
regain control by not pouncing
on the free ball that resulted
when Gardner's punt touched the
Wasp safety man. Nevertheless,
Emory and Henry took over on
their 4. Timmy Sarver gained 18
yards in two carries. Then Con-
ner gained 7, followed by a 19
yard pass completion to Pruitt.
The Wasps at this point were
momentarily stalled by an illegal
receiver penalty that put them
back on their own 35 yard line.
From this point Sarver ran a trap
play and sprang loose 'for 65
yards and the touchdown. Bales
ran for the two point conversion.
The score at the end of the third
quarter was 15-0.
Scots Threaten
The Scots threatened to score
late in the fourth quarter. Start-
ing on their own 30 yard line,
they drove to the Emory and

down. Higgins caught two passes
for 17 yards. Cox caught a 13
yard pass, Webb handled one for

Faculty Reacts to New Cut System
by Carol Cocke
The new attendance policy initiated this fall on our campus was
new to the faculty as well as to the students. At first it was greeted
with some amount of confusion on both sides, but now, having been
accepted as standard procedure, and having been explained to both
faculty and students at length (in chapel and elsewhere), it has
become part of Maryville's academic life.
Dean Fuhr and several faculty members were questioned as
to their opinions regarding the new cut system. While some of those

Wherever the "hot" news is, at

Bernard Eismann, dashing young
ABC-TV and radio correspon-
dent.
Viet-Nam, Laos, the Middle
East, Israel, the Dominican Re-
public, Africa, Central and South
America — these are just a few
of the places from which this
enterprising correspondent sends
his reports.
In fact, he returns regularly to
Israel (where he lived from 1955
to 1957) for "in-depth" on-the-
spot coverage, and he is parti-
cularly well acquainted with
Israeli Hfe.
From 1955 until 1964, Bernard
Eismann was with CBS News,
covering major stories at home
and abroad, and becoming CBS
News' Bureau Chief in Chicago.
He left CBS to join the American
Broadcasting Company, over
which network he reports major
news on both radio and TV.
A regular contributor to the
New York Sunday Herald Tri-
bune and other publications, he is
the author of two books: "The
Far Right" (1963) and "Two
Chinas in American Foreign
Policy" (1959).
Married and the father of two
children, Bernard Eismann has a
marvelous sense of humor, a ter-
rific platform personality, and
just the right kind of realistic
approach to put headline-making
events into proper perspective..

MC Directors Meet
An additional $5,000,000 in new resources will be sought by
Maryville College before the College marks its 150th year in 1969-70.
Announcement of the supplemental goals for the Sesquicentennial
Development Program was made 1 November by President Joseph
J. Copeland. The $5,000,000 supplements $7,000,000 already re-
ceived or committed in the first six years of this decade, making
a new total of $12,000,000 for the ten years.
The supplemental goals were approved by the College's Board
of Directors, meeting last Thursday and Friday on the campus. In-
cluded in these financial objectives is immediate preparation of
a campus master plan to accommodate all projected building and
campus improvements for the next two decades. With the campus
developing as fast as it is, the Board felt a master plan was a neces-
sity in order to locate the new buildings projected for completion
by the end of the Sesquicentennial year.
Projected goals
An additional sum was also
approved to beautify the Wash-
ington Ave. entrance to the cam-
pus and make it the main en-
trance. This work will be done
after the new science building,
now being designed, is completed.
The extension of the goals
through the Sesquicentennial
celebration is based on an en-
rollment of 1,075 students in
1969-70. In order to accom-
modate this number of students,
the College is planning to pro-
vide a physical plant completely
modern and up-to-date. This will
call for the building of a new
physical education complex, and
remodeling the present Fayer-
weather Hair for a student center
or building a new student center.
The estimated total cost of those
two projects is $2,000,000. This
represents the bulk of the pro-
posed $2,280,000 which will be
spent on capital improvements
during the next four years. With
the construction and renovation
of these buildings, the campus
plant will be basically complete
for the projected enrollment.
May meeting anticipated
In addition to $2,280,000 for
capital improvements, the finan-
cial objectives include $749,500
which is to be sought in gifts,
$400,000 for addition to the
endowment funds, $162,800 in
new income from endowment,
and $1,212,700 which is anti-
cipated revenue from student
fees. These furlds will be used to
maintain the high academic
quality of the faculty, provide
increased student aid, and meet
the current operating budget,
which now exceeds $2,000,000 a
year.
While the Sesquicentennial re-
presents a landmark in the life
of Maryville College, the Board
of Directors and the administra-
tion will continue to project in-
come and enrollment figures for
another ten years through 1975-
76. At the May meeting of the
Board of Directors it is anti-
cipated that the new ten-year pro-
jections will be approved.

Want a Job
in Europe?
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
— Every student in America can
get a job in Europe by applying
directly to the European head-
quarters of the American Stu-
dent Information Service in
Luxembourg. Jobs are much the
same as student work in the U.S.
with employers offering work
periods ranging from three weeks
to permanent employment.
Lifeguarding, office work, re-
sort-hotel jobs, factory, con-
struction, camp counseling and
farm work are only a few cate-
gories to be found among the
thousands of jobs ASIS has on
file. An intresting summer pas-
time not found in America is
tutoring. Numerous well-to-do
European families are inviting
American college students to
spend the summer with them and
teach their children English.
Wages range to $400 a month,
and in most cases neither pre-
vious experience nor knowledge
of a foreign language is required.
ASIS, in its tenth year of opera-
tion, will place more American
students in jobs in Europe this
year than ever before.
Students interested in work-
ing in Europe may write direct-
ly to Dept. II, ASIS, 22 Avenue
de la Liberte Luxembourg City,
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
enclosing $2 for the ASIS 36-
page booklet which contains all
jobs, wages, working conditions,
etc., job applications, and to
cover the cost of handling and
overseas air mail postage.

Dink Week,
Frosh Hazing,
What-Have-
You
by John Mulholland
Suggested for a number of
years recently by a majority of
the Student Council, the concept
of freshmen hazing has been pro-
posed often to the Deans and the
Executive Council. Lacking over-
whelming support of students and
facing the resistance of the Deans
and the Faculty, 'Dink Weeks'
have never become a policy of
M.C.
When the proposals were
made, this writer was much in
favor of a civilized form of this
tradition. To his disappointment,
at the time, few of the adminis-
tration agreed with the idea of
unifying the Frosh and giving
them some spirit in this way.
Disappointment was experi-
enced at those times in the past.
But as it was the priviledge of
this writer to address the Frosh
during Orientation week, he
found that it was with pride that
he could truly welcome the fresh-
men to the M.C. community as
a fellow student. The only re-
quirement was that one demand-
ing their sincerity and integrity
in the academic effort consisting
of the college experience. Yes, we
have still to find some more ex-
citing ways of building spirit
and enthusiasm among the
"frosh," but in need not be in
a way that sets them on some low
point with Dink caps and hazing.
As this writer has matured in
his ideas and attitudes, it no
longer seems necessary to use
such a ridiculous method as men-
tioned above. As we assume the
responsibilities of adulthood,
there 'are better ways of introduc-
ing freshmen to the experience
of college.
So, again a hearty welcome to
the new students of Maryville
College. No, quite often this
school does not meet your desires
and expectation. But chances are
that no school would have, for in
your idealistic view of what col-
lege is you see all the wrong
things. Look at the e;>{perience of
college as one in leaniing, not in
raising 'hell' (though even that
must be done once in a while),
and you may stand some chance
of surviving here or elsewhere.
Oh yes, there are many that only
get by and graduate from college,
but they are no different than a
high school graduate.
Join with upperclassmen in
this experience of learning, as
together we move to the goals
which make life worthwhile.
This is a FILLER. Do you
know what a filler is? A filler is
something you put in when you
haven't got something to put
there.
LAMENT OF A FIRST-TIME. BIT-PART PLAYER
by R. H.
After
The last bubble of light has burst and blackened
And the final appreciative slap of palm on palm has
echoed in the darkened wings.
I remember
A play that lived
breathed and groaned,
shouted whispers,
laughed tears.
A play raised in lingering agony
loving agony.
Carefully trained, groomed.
Neatly dressed
For its appointed moment.
Its brief flaming-star point of glory.
I remember.
The stage is a tomb,
darkly hollow.
The body is torn,
dismembered.
I am the bereaved,
inheritor of memories.
Playhouse Brings to

Emily's grave somewhat anti-

Adding to the realism, the
stage manager's conversational
tone made the audience feel a
part of "Our Town" by bringing
them into direct contact with the
players. The "raked" stage also
brought the audience closer to
the actors. Dramatic lighting,
music and scenery produced an
appropriate atmosphere of sim-
plicity and intense feeling.
A striking innovation, ap-
proved by Thornton Wilder, was
the "live" picture by Grant Wood
during the wedding scene. In
view of the soleminity and im-

perhaps detracted from the mean-
ing, although it allowed for a
release of pent-up emotion
through laughter in preparation
for the final scene.

The way is rough ; the time is long,"
they whisper.
"Dear to our hearts art thou-

Applications are now being
accepted from qualified juniors
and seniors who wish to partici-
pate in the Washington Semester
Program at The American Uni-
versity in Washington, D. C.
Maryville College, along with
nearly one hundred other ac-
credited colleges and universities,
is a participant in this coopera-
tive program with The American
University. It enables students to
spend one semester in Washing-
ton studying American national
government in action through a
seminar, an individual research
project, and regular courses at
The American University. Any-
one who has had a course in
American National Government
and whose overall grade average
is not lower than 2.5 is eligible
for consideration in this pro-
gram. Interested persons should
seek further information and ap-
plication forms from Dr. Ains-
worth, Washington Semester Re-
presentative on this campus.
Nominations for the Spring

Goals surpassed
President Copeland, comment-
ing on the supplementary goals
and the Board's action, said,
"We were able to complete our
original $7,000,000 goal ahead
of time, and I am confident we
will meet these new goals with
the same interest and support
our Alumni, the church, and the
many friends of the College dis-
played so admirably in the
original phase of the campaign.
"With the completion of the
new science building and the
proposed physical education com-
plex and student center facility,
Maryville's campus will be as
good as any small college in the
country. These new buildings will
enable the College to tear down
every temporary wooden build-
ing erected on the campus at the
end of World War II. This is a
dream we can all be a part of,
and no more fitting tribute to the
celebration of the College's 150th
anniversary can be made than by
erecting these much needed and
long overdue facilities."
It was announced in June that
new resources totaling $7,098,-
699 had been received or firmly
committed to the College since
Jan. 1, 1960. The over-all goal
of $7,000,000 was surpassed in
six years instead of ten, and at
that time the Board of Director?
initiated action to establish sup-
plementary financial objectives
for the rest of the decade.
The Sesquicentennial Develop-
ment Program is a comprehen-
sive effort which includes new
income from student fees, gifts
and grants, loans, and additions
to the endowment.
This evening for a quiet moment
I paused to think.
Of God?
No. God does not exist.
Of a golden flower
On a vast meadow's edge;
Of a dress pocket
Torn in childish frolic;
Of a face
Grown dim with separation;
Of a gift
Conceived in joy;
Of a bronzed leaf
Dying to autumn;
Of an unexpected
i Love You';
Of God?
No. God does not exist.
God only is.

Harding
Defeats Scots
The Maryville Scots travelled to
Searcy, Arkansas, on 22 October
for a game with Harding College.
Rated as 26-point underdogs, the
Scots almost came out topdog but
were put down by the score of
21-10.
Harding scored first late in
the opening period on a one-yard
plunge by Kenny Glass. The Scots
fought hard tojieep from being
put down and retaliated with a
field goal by Jimmy Cannon in
the second quarter. As both teams
went into the dressing rooms at
halftime, the score was 7-3.
The Scots were in control of
the ball in the third quarter until
a pass thrown by Jimmy Sullivan
was intercepted by a Harding de-
fense-man, David Wofford, who
ran for a touchdown. Still hop-
ing to save the game, the Scots
started back on a long drive cap-
ped by passes for 7 and 1 3 yards
to Sonny Webb and a 33-yard
run by John Klein. Sullivan then
pushed across from the 4-yard
line for the score. Jimmy Cannon
then added an extra point to
make the score 14-10.
Nevertheless, Harding was not
about to be upset, and late in
the fourth q^iarter they added a
touchdown on a 14-yard run by
Randy DeLaet. James Street add-
ed the extra point to make the
final score 21-10.
Standouts on the Scots offense
were Paul Johnson, who rushed
47 yards in 19 attempts, and
John Klein, who gained 36 yards
in 3 tries. Jimmy Sullivan suc-
ceeded with 13 pass completions
out of 24 attempts for 130 yards.
On the receiving end of the passes
were John McLaughlin with 5
passes caught for 55 yards.
Sonny Webb with 5 for 40 yards,
David Gamer with 3 for 27
yards, and John Klein with 1 for
27 yards. The defense must be
given a word of praise for forc-
ing the highly-rated Harding
team to punt nine times.
Sledges Win
Flagball
Championship
by Lin St. Clair
Last Friday the Alpha Sigma
Sledgehammers defeated the In-
dependents 21-14 in overtime.
The victory gave the Sledges the
League championship and main-
tained their perfect record of 7-0.
The Sledges drew first blood
as Bucky Hartinstine smashed
over from the 3 yard-line early
in the first quarter. The pass for
the PAT to Bob Kusick was good.
The Independents wasted no time
in tying it up. Don Hickman ran
for the touchdown and Roy Ries
took the conversion pass. The
second quarter was scoreless,
leaving a 7-7 tie at the half.
In the third period the Inde-
pendents took the lead with Hick-
man passing to Ries on a sleeper
play. The extra point was good.
The Sledges finally caught up
late in the fourth quarter. Hartin-
stine again ran for the score. He
passed to Rip Van Agnew for the
extra point. The touchdown was
set up when the Sledge's defen-
sive line, led by Garry Steigle-
man, got in to block an
Independent punt deep in their
own territory.
Sig emerged victorious in
overtime on a Hartinstine-to-Bac-
chus pass. Kusick again scored
the PAT to round out the scor-
ing.
All were appreciative of the
outstanding job done by refrees
Gifford and St. Clair.
"Swivel-hips" Stoker, who was
nullified throughout the game,
was, not available for comment
afterwards.

Council
Considers Cars
Tuesday night, November 15,
the student council hashed over
some old problems and brought
some interesting new information
to light.
The Academics Committee re-
ported that appointments were
given for members to interview
faculty for preliminary opinions
about the Teacher- Course Rating.
Each faculty member was then
interviewed for their suggestions
about the methods of the evalua-
tion. The plan is to have the
evaluation ready in time for a
rating this semester. The major
problem will be Whether to pub-
lish the information or not. Most
teachers are in favor of some sort
of a Teacher-Course evaluation.
The committee discussed the
problem of Frosh apathy, low
grades, etc., and appointed Bob
Hart to lead an assault on Frosh
mid-semester GAP's. They also
discussed ways to try to help
Frosh find some direction
academically. The problems of
lack of motivation and study
methods were especially talked
over.
The committee also heard Drs.
Shields and Blair report on some
of their travel conclusions, mainly
Curriculum and Calendar. They
plan to meet weekly with the
Academics Committee (anyone is
invited) if necessary to keep the
committee posted on latest details.
The results of their recommenda-
tions concerning Maryville Col-
lege's curriculum, etc., are to be
published in the Echo next week.

FROSH PROFILE SENT TO
GUIDANCE COUNSELORS
In view of the fact that the
College's admission and academic
standards are coming under
questioning from many sources,
the Hihgland Echo has sought
to inform the students of one of
the many indications of the pre-
sent admission standards. Many
have expressed concern, fearing
that academic standards were
being lowered at the same time
that admission standards were
being lowered. However assur-
ances come from the administra-
tion that this is not the case. The
Academics Committee of the Stu-
dent Council has begun to study
the present admission standards
involving those students with a
lower than average ability. The
present Resident Assistant-Senior
Counselor program is being
questioned with the concern as to
whether Maryville College is
doing justice to those students
that it has accepted and put on
limited load.
A small pamphlet prepared by
the Admissions Office is now
being sent to high school guid-
ance counselors showing the
"statistical information relative to
the Freshman Class that entered
Maryville College 13 September
1966." Following are excerpts
from that pamphlet:
Maryville College operates on
the "Rolling Admissions" system.

Given
Last spring Maryville juniors
and seniors took a questionnaire
known as the College and Uni-
versity Environment Scales, or
CUES. It is the tests and study
of Dr. C. Robert Pace of UCLA.
The statistics on the questionnaire
are now available and wll be
studied in the future.
The nature of the CUES is this.
Colleges and universities differ
from one another in many ways.
Some things that are generally
true or characteristic of one col-
lege may not be characteristic of
another. The C\J¥S are designed
to describe the institutional
climate of the campus. CUES
consist of 150 statements about
college life; features and facilities
of the campus, rules and regula-
tions, faculty, curricula, instruc-
tion and examinations, student
life, extracurricular organzations,
and other aspects of the institu-
tional environment, all of which
help to define the intellectual-
social-cultural climate of the col-
lege as students see it.
By indicating which statements
are generally characteristic of
their college, students act as re-
porters; their aggregate judg-
ment provides an opinion poll

Experimentation Process is Used
by Joan Michael*
As both faculty and students
are well aware, Maryville College
is in a process of experimenta-
tion and change in an attempt to
keep up with the growing amount
of high school graduates seeking
a college education. There is an
increasing gap between the num-
ber of high school graduates and
available vocations, according to
Dean McClelland, chairman of
the Admissions Committee. This
means that since there are more
people graduating from high
school today than ever before,
the opportunities for those with
only high school diplomas are
decreasing. Clearly something
must be done in order to give
these people a chance to go on
to higher education. This is the
problem that faces not only Mary-
ville College but all institutions
of higher learning.
"modern" approach
The Admissions Committee at
Maryville is experimenting this
year in accepting a higher per-
centage of "borderline" people
than in previous years. These are
people who, in the opinion of the
Committee, have the potential to
benefit from college work but
who have not necessarily met all
the academic requirements set by
the school. The usual admission
requirements are based on the
applicant's high school record
and class standing, his SAT or
ACT scores, and recommenda-
tions attesting to his character,
personality traits and leadership
ability. Initially, Maryville Col-
lege accepted all high school
graduates. Thirty years ago the
college was accepting those in
the top two-thirds of their class.

DEAN FUHR SPEAKS OF
ACADEMIC STANDARD
by Beverly Minear
Dean Tom Fuhr stated in the
last meeting of the Student-
Faculty Senate that college board
scores have little relation to col-
lege performance and that
"Maryville College has a respon-
sibility to those of less than
normal standard ability." When
asked to elaborate, Dean Fuhr
explained Maryville College's
standards in accepting students
and its policy toward the below
average student.
advancMi precaution!
Before admitting the applicant
as a student of the college, the
Admissions Office considers and
compares the following: Student
Aptitude Test score of the College
Board Examination, letters of re-
commendation, high school re-
cord, and degree of motivation
(determined most accurately by
a personal interview). Maryville
College regards the college board
score as a "hint" of the student's
ability to perform well in col-
lege. As a starting point, the col-
lege considers a total college
board score of nine hundred to
one thousand as average. But this
score is relevant only in relation
to the student's past record and
to his desire to learn. It follows
that, although a greater percent-
age of students accepted are
above standard ability, the below
average student "deserves a right
to try." According to Dean Fuhr,
"every college has a responsibility
to the student who wants to try."

2-The Highland Echo, November 18. 1966
CDITCI^I/IL CIJTLCCr '^^'^ Highlond Echo
Now that Mid-Semester has come and ^one, a great cry of
anguish is being heard around the campus — especially in the
vicinities of Dorms I, II, and III. Many are now finding that half
the semester has passed and that their grades have not totaled their
aspirations or expectations. Many on campus have expressed their
concern for the dilemna t)f the freshmen. This year's class has seem-
ingly more academic problems than any of its predecessors. Thus
the standards which have permitted so many students to enter who
would not have been permitted to enter before is now coming under
criticism and questioning.
The Deans tell us that this approach is "modem." Just how
modern is the idea that getting through college with a sheepskin is
the Formula for an education? If a person is unable to adapt to the
academic community, is it disgraceful for him not to go to college —
just because someone has said that he must have a college degree
— not an education — in order to succeed? The chief concern with
the critics of the admission — (pardon, the "modern" admission) —
policy of the college is the fact that the pamphlet which is now
being sent to high school guidance counselors does not present a good
picture of the Maryville College academic standards. Needless to say,
most high school students of superior ability would not find the
most advantages in a school whose admission standards were below
average. If the administraton hopes to attract superior students it can
hardly continue to advertise its present admission standards.

Concerning a Third Pair of Societies
by John Kmt
An evaluation of campus life with respect to the present
societies leaves something to be desired. For one thing the societies
are too large; and partly because of this, membership tends to be-
come meaningless. Granted there are countless reasons for disinterest,
and many center around a lack of personal initiative, but isn't there
always more unity, more of a sense of belonging in a smaller group?
An even greater fault with the present society situation is the
stereotypes they induce. A male is either a "Phi" or a "Sig" (of
course Independents don't even count) ; it is the same with the
women. A person who doesn't necessarily want to choose either The
one or The other is restricted to Independent sameness. Even though
society membership could have served a useful purpose in that
person's life, it is declined because of the limited choice.
Committe formed
Most glaring of all among the
faults of the present society sys-
tem is the animosity which exists
between the two sides. Healthy
competition and spirited rivalry
have their place; but when these
feelings change to overt hate and
ill will, it is time for either a
deus ex machina or a third
society. Throughout my three and
a half years here I have seen and
felt this hatred until I am fed up
with it. It is no more on one side
than the other, but it is there —
in unmistakable black and white.
And until some measure is taken
to relieve the bitterness, it will
continue to darken any concerned
person's image of Maryville Col-
lege life.
It is the feeling of many people
that the addition of a third pair
of societies to the social program
of the college would be an ef-
fective solution to the animosity,
limitation of choice, and undue
size concerning the present
societies. For this reason the Or-
ganizations Committee of Stu-
dent Council has formed a Third
Society Committee to examine the
situation and take appropriate
action.
Nucleus needed
As chairman of this committee,
I am convinced of the need for
creating these new societies. I am
also aware of definite problems
facing their establishment, lliere
is, for one thing, the question of
a meeting place. Couldn't the
school build us another house?
Well, it's doubtful. But even if
a separate building seems far
fetched, why couldn't a room ir
Bartlett, Fayerweather, or the
Student Center lounge serve the
purpose, at least temporarily?
Another problem, I am told,
would be the schedule complica-
tions, that is, the provision for a
third prom, rush, and initiation.
But do these inclusions really
seem so difficult to overcome? It
seems to me that the benefit to
the social life these activities
would yield would more than ac-
count for inconveniences in their
scheduling.
Finally, the greatest problem
of all appears to be locating a
responsible nucleus to head the
new societies. The greatest need
of all is the need for a group of
able students concerned with the
betterment of the life of the cam-
pus, who would be willing to
work out a constitution, select a
name, set standards of member-
ship, and plan activities. Natur-
ally, it would be best for this
leadership to be supplied primar-
ily by underclassmen, whose in-
terest would lie in the future, as
well as the present. But the
nucleus would do wdl to include
students from all four classes,
since the more inclusive these new
societies are, the greater is their
chance of continued development.
Suggestionc urged
So, the challenge is obviously
out for any interested students.
The opportunities are impressive
and exciting to anyone with the
patience and willingness to take
part in planning these new
societies.
If you' might be interested in
forming a third set of societies,
or even if you just have some
comments or suggestions concern-
ing the society system in general,
I would appreciate your contact-
ing me, John Kerr, anytime at
your convenience.
TTie need is urgent; the op-
portunities are waiting. Don't let
the dhance slip by.
EXPERIMENTATION
Cont'd from p. 1, col. 4
Now, the upper half of the class
is the standard. However, both
Col. Taylor, Director of Admis-
sions, and Dean McClelland stress
the fact that the Committee does
not judge an applicant on any
one determining factor but con-
siders the complete file. It is this
more modern approach to col-
lege admissions with which the
Committee is experimenting this
year.
potential recognised
As a result, the big question
that comes to mind is: Will the
admission of so many borderline
cases in any way lower the stand-
ards of the college? Dean Mc-
Qelland points out that the
standards of Maryville College
are set by the students them-
selves who go on to graduate
school. The function of the col-
lege is to prepare people for
graduate and professional school,
and in this respect Maryville
stands out in its superior rating
as a source of baccalaureate de-
grees. This year's freshman class
has a commendable combined
math and verbal SAT score of
956.9. Of the 698 applications
received by the Committee this
year, 63 were rejected, as com-
pared with 116 rejections out of
680 applications from last year.
The present freshman class num-
bers 320 — a 45 person increase
over last year's freshman class.
Since there are obviously more
students applying every year, and
since competition for jobs is be-
coming keener each year, colleges
must make provisions to educate
as many capable people as pos-
sible. In an attempt to solve this
problem, the Committee is faced
with two alternatives. (1) It can
accept borderline cases and allow
the teachers to make it easier for
a student to pass; this would in
effect constitute a general lower-
ing of the college's academic
standards. Or, (2) the college,
recognizing the potential of these
people, could accept them, reduce
the load they are to carry, and
keep the passing level the same.
This is what the Committee has
chosen to do. In keeping the rat-
ing system the same but by re-
ducing the academic load from
16-17 semester hours to 12-13,
the Committee has given these
students a chance to prove their
potential by slowing them down,
granting them more time to de-
vote to fewer classes while they
are keeping up with the same
standards set by the college. The
Committee is hopeful that not
only will these students benefit
themselves by upholding the
standards of the college, but that
♦hey will benefit the college itsdf
by their presence here.

The revision includes several
important alternations. The call
to worship and the prayer of
Adoration, formerly separated by
the Introit, are now placed to-
gether preceding the Introit. The
Introit and the sung Benediction
have been changed for the sake
of increased content, and new
words and music will be used for
both. A Prayer of Confession and
a Declaration of Absolution have
been included to aid congrega
tional participation. Both anthems
by the College Choir are now to
be sung before the Sermon. In
order to give the place of the
Sermon a better perspective in
the total experience of worship
and to emphasize the importance
of prayer, the Sermon has been
moved forward in the order and
the Evening Prayer has been
placed after the Sermon to be

C-H Eagles
The Maryville Scots lost their
last regular football game of the
year to Carson-Newman 13-0.
The game was Carson-Newman's
Homecoming and dedication of
their new stadium. Carson-New-
man scored once in each of the
quarters in the first half then
hung on against 2 drives deep
into their territory by the Scots.
The first touchdown came on
an 88 yard drive. Larry Hester
put Carson-Newman on the score-
board with a three yard run to
finish the drive. The kick for the
extra point went wide. The big
play of this drive was a 27 yard
run by Larry Hester on third
down to the Scottie 38. The out-
standing Maryville defense can
be seen in the fact that it took
nine plays for the Eagles to go
the last 38 yards.
In the second quarter the
Eagles took the ball on the Mary-
ville 41 and drove for their sec-
ond touchdown. Most of the yard-
age on this drive came from full-
back Bobby Delo^ier's 21 yard
run. Halfback Ronnie Medlin
took the ball the last 8 yards for
the score. David Pitts added the
extra point. At half-time, Carson-
Newman held a 13-0 lead.
Maryville came into the second
half determined to score. But the
Eagle defense was too much for
them. The first drive was stopped
on the Eagle 9 by one of Benny
Booher's two interceptions. The
second drive was stopped at the
Eagle 24 as the Scots ran out of
downs. In this last drive the blit/
of Linebacker Robert Lee and
end Eddie Bodine proved too
much for the Scot backfield.
The Scots played a good game
against a fired-up Eagle squad.
Jimmy Sullivan was 8|28 and
128 yards passing but 6 or 7
of the incompletions should have
been caught. Paul Johnson picked
up most of the Scot 43 yards
rushing. Don Story, center co-
captain, also played a good game
on offense. On defense Bill Oirk-
huff was outstanding on the al-
ways good Scot defense.

has been studying the problem of
cars on campus. It was felt that
the reasons given last year against
having cars on campus were poor
and that the rule should be
changed.
There is the worry of the ad-
ministration that Maryville will
become a "suitcase college," and
of "dead" week-ends. However,
the feeling was that this chal-
lenge to the social activity on
campus should enhance more and
better activities. Another great
worry is that it will be an alter-
native to study. Parking space ij
really no problem.
Every organization will be a^-
ed these questions: What do you
feel should be the policy con-
cerning automobiles on campus?
What are the reasons that your
organization feels we should or
should not have cars?
Student body seems to be much
behind having cars on campus;
consequently, with the favor of
many of the faculty also, there
is a much better chance of ac-
complishing something this year.
Jim Reynolds is head of a com-
mittee to set up discussion groups
similar to those on campus last
semester. These informal groups
of students and faculty members
would meet and discuss anything,
mainly, the concept of education
and what this school in particular
is doing.
The problem is that there is a
need for students with the exper-
ience of last year to aid teachers
in leading discussions with these
new groups. People should be
prepared to go and say something
concrete, rather than turning the
meetings into only gripe sessions.
Several suggestions were made
as to how to get these groups
started once more. Publicity is
the important thing, and more
will be said on these groups later.
Anyone may attend these meet-
ings. If interested or curious, see
Jim Reynolds.
Dean Fuhr reported on the
CUES questionnaire that juniors
and seniors filled out last spring.
The questionnaire contained
statements which were to be ans-
wered true of false if it was or
was not characteristic of Mary-
ville. The report had interesting
news and will be studied in rela-
tion to Maryville College's future
in the academic world. (See arti-
cle on CUES on front page.)

the college. CUES provide a mea-
sure of the environment along
five dimensions, which appear to
reflect certain ways in which col-
leges differ from one another.
These dimensions are:
(1) Practicality: the degree to
which personal status and
practical benefit are em-
phasized in the college en-
vironment.
(2) Community: the degree to
which the campus is friend-
ly, cohesive, and group-
oriented.
(3) Awareness: the degree to
whicfh there is a concern
with self-understanding, re-
flectiveness, and the search
for personal meaning.
(4) Propriety: the degree to
which politeness, protocol,

phasized.
(5) Scholarship: the degree to
which competitively high

denced.

Societies Prepare for VC
with editorial comment
by Bill Evaul
The annual Phi-Sig flagball
struggle this year turned into a
full-fledged war. The only re-
semblance to other flagball games
was the use of the football. The
ball was only an excuse over
which the two societies could
work out their emotions in a
legalized manner. What had been
in past years a hard-fought game
with some (but very little) un-
sportainanlike conduct this year
became the hard-fought quest for
the title of unsportsmanship, with
very little game thrown in to dis-
guise the dirty exhibition. Before
the game even started, yells were
heard coming from one of the
benches, "Does anvone hate them
as much as I do?" To which a
thundering chorus answered, "I
do!"
Once the "game' started, it
looked more like a sparring ses-
sion at Cassius Clay's training
camp from the amount of fist-
fighting and yelling that went on.
And to carry the analogy a bit
further, the refereeing was about
as good as that in the Clay-
Chuvalo fight. There were a few
players who tried to keep the
game legal. But otherwise there
was no attempt to hide the dis-
regard for the rules that marked
the play of both teams.
If this annual game is to con-
tinue without it turning into a
farce, I would suggest the follow-
ing revisions:
1. Professional referees or
faculty members (preferably
coaches — no football players,
please) to officiate the game.
2. A reading of the rules and
their explanation to both teams
(together?) sometime before the
game begins.
3. Expulsion from the game
(either immediate or after one
warning) for fighting, abusive
language, unsportsmanlike con-
duct, or any other flagrant viola-
tion of the rules — with no ex-
ception— and a penalty assessed
the violating team.
Oh. by the way. Alpha Sigma
won by a score of 34-25.

Millsaps Squeezes
By Scots
On Saturday, November 5, the
Maryville Scots came within one
minute of their second victory of
the season. The Millsaps Majors
scored a touchdown with one
minute left in the game and
squeezed by the Scots by a score
of 21-17. In every other game
this year the Scots could have
used five more minutes and
would have won half-a-dozen
games. But this time they wish
the game had ended five minutes
sooner.
The Scots scored first in the
contest on a 19 yard field goal by
Jimmy Cannon. The Majors came
right back with the ball and
scored a touchdown on an eight
yard pass from Danny Neely to
Jim Massey. Pat Amon added the
extra point and the half time
score was 7-3 Millsaps.
In the third quarter the Scots
took the ball on their own 35 yard
line and marched 65 yards for a
touchdown. Lynn Dodez pushed
his way across from the one for
the score. Cannon added the extra
point and the Scots led 10-7.
Early in the fourth quarter Mary-
ville scored again on a 25 yard
pass from Jimmy Sullivan to
John McLaughlin. Cannon once
again added the point after
touchdown and the Scots held a
commanding 17-7 lead.
But the Majors were not put
down easily. They swept down
the field in nine plays and scored
on a 25 yard pass from Neely to
Ted Weller. Tlie kick failed leav-
ing the score 17-13 Maryville.
With just six minutes left the
Scots took the ball and started
moving the ball downfield, grind-
ing out the yardage and the clock
on the ground. Around mid-field
the drive momentarily stalled and
Sullivan had to take to the air.
Mike Coker intercepted the pass
and went to Scot 41 yard line.
Five minutes later Neely threw
a seven yard pass to Massey for
the score. As insurance against
a possible Maryville field goal,
Neely ran for the two-point con-
version. With one minute to go
in the game, the Majors led 21-
17. The game was not yet over,
though. The Scots looked like
they might still win as they start-
ed driving downfield. But the
time ran out with Maryville in
control on the Millsaps 45.
Standouts for the Scots were
once again the entire defensive
team and quarterback Jimmy Sul-
livan on offense. Others on the
offensive team that looked im-
pressive were Johnson (18 carries
for 95 yards with 2 passes for
40 yards), Dodez (6 for 15 yards
rushing and one touchdown),
Webb (4 passes for 52 yards),
Gamer (5 passes for 52 yards),
and McLaughlin (1 pass for 25
yards and a touchdown).

off Campus?
First on the agenda of the Stu-
dent Council meeting, Tuesday,
November 29, was a report from
Pete Park, vice-president of
UCCF, on an evaluation of
chapel, vespers, and Bible-re-
ligion-philosophy course require-
ments. Pete had given a question-
naire concerning these to some
faculty members and students,
about sixteen altogether. How-
ever, he stressed that the evalua-
tion was already rather out of
date due to changes and improve-
ment of chapel and vespers now
being considered.
Some points brought out in
the questionnaire about chapel
were that, from an academic
point of view, chapel adds noth-
ing; chapel is not worship as it
stands now.
Vespers was rated somewhat
more favorably. The community
is visible on campus only at ves-
pers; educated people need to
worship — how and where is
not necessarily so important, but
the need for an outlet for wor-
ship is important; and vespers is
relevant to academics in that cur-
rent religious and theological
ideas and their relevance to cur-
rent thought and actions are
brought out.

"Versatility" is the key word
that comes to mind in describing
the beautiful young American
mezzo-soprano Helen Vanni, who
will sing in the Chapel tonight
at 8:15 p.m. as the opening pro-
gram in the Maryville College-
Community Artists Series.
The star, combines a rich,
creamy mezzo voice with flawless
musicianship and a warmly
gracious stage presence. She has
mastered an impressive variety
of operative roles, oratorios and
recital programs which have won
her enthusiastic critical praise
and wide popular favor.
The Metropolitan Opera has
found Helen Vanni an almost
indispensable performer who can
fill any mezzo role in the com-
pany's repertory. Last season she
scored an outstanding personal
success as Dorabella in the much
praised production of Mozart's
"Cosi fan tutte." The New York
Times noted that "Miss Vanni
was all that could be desired, a
perfect foil for Leontyne Price's
Fiordiligi."
So adaptable and dependable
a performer is naturally much in
demand by companies through-
out the country. For several sum-
mers she has been leading mezzo-
soprano of both the Central City
(Colorado) and the Santa Fe
(New Mexico) Opera companies.
In the summer of 1965 she re-
turned to Santa Fe to sing Rosina
in "The Barber of Seville,"
Cherubino in "The Marriage of
Figaro" and Suzuki in "Madame
Butterfly." Summer 1966 again
found Miss Vanni at Santa Fe
to sing the title role off "La
Cenerentola" and in Richard
Strauss' "Capriccio." She also
traveled to Chicago's Grant Park
last sunmier to recreate her fam-
ous Octavian in "Der Rosenka-
valier." In May 1966 she return-
ed to San Francisco for theii
spring season in performances
of Thomas' "Mignon" and Ros-
sini's "L'ltalana in Algeri." At
the Cincinnati Summer Opera,
July 1966, she again sang in
"Cenerentola." Noted critic Paul
Hume of the Washington Post has
hailed her as "a new singer of
the highest order."
As a concert singer, Miss
Vanni appeared last season with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra
under Erich Leinsdorf in Boston,
New York, and New Haven, sing-
ing Stravinsky's delightful "Pul-
cinella." She has sung with the
New York Philharmonic under
Thomas Schippers, and with the
Philadelphia Orchestra under
Eugene Ormandy, and she has
made numerous television ap-
pearances for both CBS and
NBC networks.
Helen Vanni has performed as
soloist with nearly every leading
symphony orchestra in America,
and she is a great favorite at the
summer festivals. In the summer
of 1964 she appeared as featured
soloist at Tanglewood with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Highlights of her 1964-65 season
included New York appearances
with the Festival Orchestra in
Bach's "Magnificat" at both
Carnegie Hall and Philharmonic
Hall, and a performance of Ber-
lioz' "Benevenuto Cellini" with
The Little Orchestra Society.
Recently Miss Vanni has re-
corded two specal albums for
Columbia Records of Schonberg
works with pianist Glenn Gould.
Dr. Randolph Shields and Dr.
Carolyn Blair returned to the
campus the second week in No-
vember after visiting ten liberal
arts colleges in Florida and the
Midwest, where they studied re-
cent developments in curriculum
with the object of making recom-
mendations for curriculum chan-
ges at Maryville. They studied
catalogues and course syllabi,
audited classes, and talked to ad-
ministrators, faculty, and stu-
dents to try to determine the
strengths and weaknesses of the
various programs.
In reports first to the Faculty
Curriculum Committee and then
to the Academic Committee of
the Student Council, they discus-
sed the variety of calendars, in-
cluding the trimester system as it
operates at New College, Sara-
sota, Kentucky Southern, and
Beloit, and the use of the interim
period at Florida Presbyterian
and Hanover. They discussed the
trend toward more independent
study, the use of area examina-
tions, and extensive off-campus
study programs. At each school
they found experiments in inter-
disciplinary courses, some design-
ed to bring together all areas ol
study and others aimed only at
integration of the disciplines
within a particular area. They
cited as outstanding Cornell's two-
year humanities course and Mac-
Murray's one-semester course in
the fine arts.
more independent study
Also of particular interest was
Earlham's Program II, an ex-
periment with sixty freshmen re-
presenting a cross section of the
freshman class. Divided into
groups of twelve, the freshmen
are left free to plan, with the
help of a faculty tutor and two
fellows (outstanding juniors and
seniors) , a program that will pre
pare them to pass area examina-
tions. After taking diagnostic tests
to determine their needs, they are
provided with booklists, oudines,
questions, and lists of courses
that they may audit; but the em-
phasis is on an individualized
program for each freshman.
Earlham's experiment, begun this
fall and financed by the Lilly
Foundation, is one of a number
being carried on to explore the
possibilities of more independent,
unstructured study.

EDITCI^IAL CLTLCCr The Highland Echo g££]f
The last edition of the Highland Echo carried an article per-
taining to the possibility of obtaining a third pair of societies on
campus. It has been said by many that the only solution to the
dilemma of the societies is for another set to be introduced. This, of
course, follows the logical pattern that since party A and party B
do not fulfill their said purposes, then naturally the intrusion of
party C will cause the ilbtess to be cured and everyone will be happy
and the problem is solved.
An additional pair of societies is definitely needed on campus.
Because enrollment increases each year, so do the demands for
a means of social activity increase. No longer does a YMCA-YWCA
organization provide all the "wholesome, inspirational" activities
needed. Nor does the social life of the hallowed anscestors seem to
appeal to very many. More societies would not necessarily increase
the total time given to social events, but they would provide more
avenues of social expression.
But, two more societies are not the social salvation for the poor
Maryville Ck)llege student. The two existing pairs of societies have
become so weighted down with tremendous numbers of members —
remember, no selectivity! — and have become, as one upperclassman
put it, "nice for freshmen and sophomores." This problem has be-
come apparent in recent years. Almost all enthusiasm for the societies
fades away after the sophomore year.
Of course, the most logical thing for a Maryville College stu-
dent to do is complain. Because the societies are no good, he's getting
out. With the risk of moralizing, what makes a society "bad?" Be-
fore any proposed new pair of societies are actually organized, the
present two sets would find it to their advantage to evaluate their
own purpose and programs and see what makes their societies un-
satisfactory. Members who want their society to improve should do
something about it rather than talk something about it.
TTie administration will also have to consider the role of social
societies on campus. The present policy toward social organizations
is too authoritative and unrealistic. No society should be compelled
to accept all pledges who wish to join with no maimer of selection,
nor should it have to schedule its events so as not to conflict with
any other organization's activities. (Maybe the administration will
discover some day that the whole campus does not always want to
attend the same activity — even if it is the only one on campus!)
A third set of societies will greatly improve the social climate
and opportunities on campus, but it wfll not be the only answer . . .
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I have been at Maryville Col-
lege for ten we^s and most of
the time I have enjoyed my stay.
There is one practice around here,
however, which I feel must be
abolished if anyone is to have
peace of mind. I am, of course,
referring to the sport of umbrella
taking. Since I have been at
M. C, two umbrellas have been
"borrowed" from me and have
not been returned. Having al-
ready shelled out the money for
two rather expensive umbrellas,
I find that I can't afford an-
other one. If anyone has any in-
formation to offer about either
of my wayward umbrellas, I
would appreciate it. You'll have
no trouble finding me. I'll be the
one who is walking in the rain
with no umbrella.
Sincerely,
Jane Elmore
Dear Editor;
The last issue of the Highland
Echo contained an editorial com-
ment concerning the Societies
preparation for our beloved
friends, the V.C. After reading
it, I thought a reply necessary.
"Full-fledged war, excuse for
legalized emotional expression,
unsportsmanlike conduct cham-
pionship, and finally, dirty ex-
hibition." These are just a few
of the complementary (sic) ad-
jectives used previously to des-
cribe the Phi-Sig Flagball Cham-
pionship game.
I question the ability of a
sports editor, be he from Mary-
ville, Kalamazoo, or Tim Buck
Too, to report such a contest
when done in such a 1 biased man-
ner. Surely, unsportsn anlike con-
duct was expressed by individual
players, but does that mean that
the game was a "farce" or a
"dirty exhibition?"
I personally feel that the game
could and should have been play-
ed with far less emotional expres-
sion, and I'm sure many will
agree. However, to degrade the
game as was previously reported
gives me little faith in our sports
editor's qualifications. Let us look
forward to the future in hope of
reading better and less biased re-
porting.
— Boyd Davis
Dear Editor,
The principle reason for this
letter is to express my sentiments
concerning the Thanksgiving
holidays given to the students of
Maryville College. I think there is
a general consensus of opinion
among the students of our college
on this subject.
This year we, the students,
were awarded the grand total of
one day on which to be thankful
and to count our blessings. Un-
fortunately our list of blessings
didn't include our being home
with our families enjoying a good
turkey dinner. While I realize
that not all of the students or
maybe not even a majority of the
students here could go home on
this holiday, I think that the bare-
ly tangible loss of time would be
fully justfied by the benefit re-
ceived by a great number of stu-
dents.
The last rush before Christmas
vacation is just beginning and
for many students it is to be
faced not with a fresh outlook
of determination but with an at-
titude of apathy due to the mono-
tony of several months of daily
college life.
Why not give all the students
a chance to catch their breath
one extra day of rest? Why not
offer a day of recuperation for
the people tired of the everyday
sameness of class and hard study?
What's one lousy day? Of course,
the past can't be changed, but
what's wrong with making some
plans to give the students a break
next year. The results, I believe,
will be quickly realized by the
faculty and eagerly welcomed by
the students.
Yours truly,
Knox Singleton

Offered
The Scandinavian Seminar is
now accepting applications for
its study program in Denmark,
Finland, Norway and Sweden for
the academic year 1967-68. This
opportunity to combine living
with learning will have special
appeal both for college students
and other adults who would find
a year of study in a foreign
country of special value.
The student in the Seminar
program lives for 2 to 8 weeks
with a family in his Scandinavian
country, using its language daily
and sharing in the activities of
the community. For the major
part of the year he lives and
studies at a Folk High School —
a residential school for young
adults. He is completely separated
from his fellow American stu-
dents during the Seminar year,
except for the short periods when
he participates in the intensive
language courses and the three
general sessions conducted by the
Seminar in Denmark, Norway
and Sweden. An important aspect
of the student's Seminar program
is an individual study project in
a field of special interest to him.
Over 100 American colleges
and universities have given either
partial or full credit for the
Seminar year.

The NASM has been de-
signated by the National Com-
mission on Accrediting as the
responsible agency for the ac-

curricula with specialization in
the fields of applied music, music
theory, composition, music ther-
apy, musicology, and music as a
major in liberal arts programs.
Its deliberations will play an im-
portant part in music education
trends in this country during the
coming years.
Some 300 member schools
were represented by the Deans of
the Music Departments in many
universities and colleges, and by
the Administrative Heads of con-

The Bible-religion-philosophy
course is vital to Christian
growth. It was felt, however, that
more emp'hasis should be placed
on religions altogether, not just
Christianity; theological courses
should be stressed more, also.
Peter pointed out that there
was no specific reason for this
evaluation, but it may be helpful
in the future as changes in cur-
riculum come about. There will
be a survey on the religion-
theology courses. Pete would like
to have any helpful criticisms or
ideas on this subject.
The Alcohol Commitee will be-
gin action — at least thought
action — this week. One question
is whether the drinking rule
might be changed. One Tennessee
school has a rule of no drinking
on campus, but the students are
to live up to the state laws off
campus. The question of a Stu-,
dent Court for enforcement of
rules was brought up; there is a
need for some responsible group
for enforcement. It was stated ex-
plicitly that something will be
done about the drinking on cam-
pus. See Roy Ries with questions
or ideas.
John Wolfe reported briefly
on Tennessee Intercollegiate State
Legislature (TISL) meeting in
Nashville which Maryville at-
tended.
The Constitution Committee,
headed by John Wolfe, is doing
some interesting but quiet work.
There are members of both
faculty and student body on the
committee which is mainly dis-
cussing judicial aspects (such as
student court and student-faculty
senate) and committees (such as
student council representation
and student-faculty committees)
on campus. Research and discus-
sion is continuing and reports wiU
be made in the future.

In the spring of 1966 Mary-

College and University Environ-
ment Scales test, known as CUES,
to 242 juniors and seniors. The
testing program was developed
by Dr. C. Robert Pace of the
University of California, Los
Angeles. The scores for Mary-
ville College are now available,
and I am making an attempt to
summarize the findings. Scores
are derived on the basis of the
number of items on which at
least two thirds of the students,
by marking the answer in the
same way, indicate which state-
ments are generally characteristic
of their coUege. The scales are
designed to describe the institu-

about college life and describe
the intellectual, social and cul-
tural climate of the campus as
students see it.
The results are broken up into
five categories. The first titled
"Practicality" indicates the de-
gree to which personal status and
practical matters are emphasized
in the college environment. A
high score indicates that status
is gained by knowing the right
people, being in the right groups,
and doing what is expected. A
high score also indicates that
order and supervision are char-
acteristic of the administration
and of the class work. The score
for Maryville College on "Practi-
cality" is 13, which is moderate-
ly high since it is the equivalent
of 63%.
Tlie second category is "Com-
munity," the degree to which
the campus is friendly, cohesive,
and group oriented. There is a
feeling of group welfare and
group loyalty. High scores indi-
cate a supportive and sympathe-
tic environment, while low scores
reflect a predominance of pri-
vacy, personal autonomy, and
cool detachment. Maryville Col-
lege's score on this section is 18
which is a high score, equivalent
to 87%.
The third category is "Aware-
ness," the degree to Which there
is a concern with self-understand-
ing, reflectiveness, and the search
for personal meaning. High
scores indicate an environment
which stresses expansion and en-
richment of personality, social
horizons, and personal expres-
sion. Maryville College's score in
this section is 6, a low 19%.
The fourth category is "Pro-
priety," the degree to which
politeness, protocol, and con-
sideration are emphasized. High
scores suggest an atmosphere of
caution, thoughtfulness, conven-
tionality; whereas low scores
indicate a climate more demon-
strative, assertive, rebellious, and

For Heather
I will play cactus and be prickly,
Watch silently over prarie-dogs and kangaroo-rats.
Hug sand in my roots and
stab tile air with spines.
I will play cactus and stand thickly.
Water-beilied for the dry spdUs
Green and spiney me
will laugh at sidewinders
prospectors
g(dd-panners
but not at stallions.
I keep colors in my pocket
And when the rains leave
I will hang them out to dry.
Oh and all the tales of other places.
Nights when coyotes keep the moon awake
I shall listen to stories of far aways and strange.
Tumbleweed tales they are
and whispered softly.
(In the next life I shall roll forever.)
But so.
(And keep this to yourself —
How prickly I will cactus to the lizards —
For to tell a dream is to lose it,
And cactus dreams are always first to go.)
BecaUy
In the face of Beauty
Silent, mute, I stano,
Stricken dumb by visions
Of undreamed-of lands.
Beauty holds me captive.
Bound by unseen chain:
I'm no more my master
In her fair domain.
Faint, soft strains of music
Fall upon my ear:
Lifesong of Creation
Does my heart now hear.
And ever shall I bear
Deep within my heart
The sweetly burning pain
Of Beauty's hand die marie.
A sojourner like I
Hast no answer for "What?"
"How could?" "When?" and "Why?"
This world, this realm is a hot.
Strained', struggling, strait, strangling,
Arena from earth to sky.
Myself, a stranger to me as well as to thee.
Communicate thou couldst not with dirt?!
Yea,
Have Cheer!
Have Joy!
Have Fun!
Have Lust!
With others: fairies, squres, and birds.
Dost not disgust.
Or What's thy heaven for?

When leaves to golden flame are turning,
When crimson all the Ihills are burning,
TTien fires of fall rekindle yearning
In the ashes of my heart.
When autumn's golden moon is shining.
When field and wood white mist are twining.
Then stirs again that Love once binding
In the ashes of my heart.
When wild geese for the south are parting,
When mousing owl through night is darting.
Then Phoenx-like is Love upstarting
In the ashes of my heart.
We roamed the flaming hills together
All through the misty autumn weather:
That Love will die but never, never.
In the ashes of my heart.
So take the flames of autumn's burning.
For I must be their beauty spuming,
Or else I die of hopeless yearning
In the ashes of my heart.

ihat first small scarlet prayer
Was venial faith
For all its crude inception.
But then I had not learned
That truth could have exception —
Sincereness could be damned.
Since then I've raised one scarlet
On another, relentless for some dorothea:
For some essential "gift of CJod."
Since then the fledgling wing has broken fire —
The ashes answer yet: I'll not retire!

see State University, Middle Ten-
nessee State University, Milligan
College, Tennessee Tech, Uni-
versity of Tennessee, Trevacca
College, Peabody College, Van-
derbilt University, and the Uni-

CUES
Cont'd, from p. 3» col. 3
individualistic. The Maryville
College score is 9, or an equiva*-
lent of 42%.
The final category is "Scholar-
ship," the degree to which com-
petitively high academic achieve-
ment is noted. High scores in-
dicate an emphasis on intellectual
speculation and the pursuit of
knowledge for its own sake. The
Maryville College score on this
section is 2, or a low 12%.
One factor that immediately
suggests itself is the comparison
between the Maryville College
scores and those of other colleges
and universities. This informa-
tion is available in some detail in
a technical manual. I will men-
tion just two factors. One gets
the impression from studying the
manual that six highly selective,
private, non-sectarian, liberal arts
colleges set a pattern that it is
hoped other schools will emulate.
The six are Bennington, Vas^r,
A n t i o c h , Randolph-Macon,
Swarthmore, and Reed. These
schools tend to score high — for
the most part above 90% — in
scholarship and awareness, and
very low — less than 10% — in
practicality, which is the opposite
of what we find in the Maryville
College profile in these three
categories. If we take colleges
similar to Maryville, however —
strongly or moderately denomina-
tional, small liberal arts schools —
the contrast is not so great. These
schools tend to score high in
practicality w"here our score of
63% is at the lower end of the
range for these schools, high in
community where our score of
87% is toward the top end of the
range, the six norm schools low
in awareness where our score of
19% is near the median for the
other schools, high in propriety
where our score of 42% is on
the low side of the range, and
middle to low in sdholarship
where our score of 12% is de-
finitely lower than most.
Maryville does not vary greatly
from other schools of a similar
nature but shows marked con-
trast to the half dozen prestige
institutions of the country. It
should be made clear that most
institutions, large and small, do
not measure up to the scores for
these six institutions. Dr. Pace
gives the impression that, at least
in his impression, these schools
represent a norm, not of what

schools generally represent but
of what ought to be the case.
May I close with one word of
caution. This report represents
an effort on my part to be ob-
jective in summarizing the prin-
cipal findings of the CUES pro-
gram. It presents a complex
picture. It could easily be quoted
out of context. This is particular-
ly true if someone has a point
of view which he wishes to sub-
stantiate and uses a portion of
the results in an effort to prove
his point. Such use may be mis-
use, since the purpose of CUES
is not to provide information for
various parties to debate, but to
provide to students, faculty, and
staff the kind of statistical in-
formation on which long range
planning can be based. In the
long run the safest thing to do
with respect to the use of such
a study is to review the results
for one's self and draw one's own
conclusions. To depend upon the
conclusions of others, even upon
mine in this report, or to sell a
conclusion to someone else on the
basis of the report may be to miss
the fundamental purpose of the
study.
One final comment. I mention-
ed that Dr. Pace feels that ap-
proximately six institutions of
higher learning represent the
norm, not of what most schools
are, but what he feels they ought
to be. This, of course, is a value
judgment on his part; and we
will be unable to indicate clearly
whether we fed Maryville CoUege
ought to be like these schools on
two counts. We will have to de-
cide whether we agree that Dr.
Pace has selected wisely, and we
will also have to decide whether
we want Maryville to represent
similar characteristics. The 8ta>
tistical report and the manual
interpreting the results are avail-
able in my office, and representa-
tives of the faculty and student
body are welcome to review the
materials.

How About A Three-
Day Thanksgiving?
WASHINGTON — What kind
of Thanksgiving did you have?
Was it leisurely and enjoyable?
Did it give you an opportunity
for calm reflection of the things
you have to be thankful for?
Or were you harried by the
rush of a one-day trip to visit re-
latives and friends with whom
you like to share Thanksgiving
dinner? Did the thought of re
turning to work the next day
bother your digestion?
If you wished the holiday ad-
joined a weekend, so as to pro-
vide a three-day holiday, you
were not alone.
A poll of its membership re-
cently completed by the Chafmber
of Commerce of the United States
sh(5ws that businessmen over-
whelmingly favor changing some
holidays, including Thanksgiving,
to a uniform Monday observance
as a way of creating more three-
day weekends.
Completed questionnaires were
received from 9,964, or one-third
of the members polled.
The returns show the 85% of
the respondents favor the general
idea of observing Memorial Day,
Thanksgiving, Independence Day,
Veteran's Day and Washington's
Birthday on Mondays. The
questionnaire noted that there
have been proposals to designate
Washington's Birthday as Presi-

to remedy the problem.
All agreed readily that the pre-

not working — and that something

EDITCI^I/IL CUTLCCr The Highland Echo
One of the most exciting things that has ever happened at Mary-
ville is the new curriculum planning which is now in full swing. If
this curriculum is approved, it could mean the difference between
a pretty-good-school and a very-good-school. It seems that if Mary-
viUe does not continue to revise and reevaluate its curriculum, it
will soon dwindle down to the not-so-good-school and find itself
fig'hting to "stay in business."
According to those studying the proposed curriculum changes,
there will be ho room for the poor teacher, or the one who is un-
willing to challenge his students— intellectually, that is. Professor
A whose yellowed lecture notes are disintegrating from age and
Professor B whose preparation for each class involves wondering
what to use to fill up fifty minutes will be forced to remove them-
selves through Exit C.
If any school is extremely lucky to have three or four excellent
teachers, then Maryville can certainly consider itself lucky. In ad-
dition to the few excellent ones, there are several more very good
professors — especially in view of some of the additions, and deletions,
made in the last two or three years. In fact, some students — especially
upperclassmen — ^have been able to tell the difference in the quality
of a few professors in comparison to those of two or three years ago.
Some are just finding how difficult some courses can be, and how
difficult it is to make an excellent grade.
It is hoped that Maryville will continue to progress by making
its faculty — and its students — meet higher standards. It couldn't hurt
the quality!

One major automobile
surance company in the United
States is now rewarding the stu-
dent who makes excellent grades
in college by offering lower in-
surance rates. In a report by
Norman L. Vincent, Ph.D., en-
titled "Cars, Youth and Grades,"
there are these quotations:
"Unmarried male drivers un-
der 25 years of ago represent
18 per cent of the driving popula-
tion but they are involved in 30
per cent of the accidents . . .
Among the reckless and irrespon-
sible are many capable, con-
scientious drivers who should not
be required to pay high in-
surance premiums. . . .The mea-
suring stick is scholarship. . . .
Unique in the insurance business
it is called the 'Good Student Dis-
count.' . . . 68,000 young men
were able to document the re-
lationship between use of car,
good grades, and personal respon-
sibility. ... To qualify for a 25
per cent discount on insurance
premiums, an unmarried male
from 16 to 25 who is a full-time
student in college must present
certification of any one of the
following:
— He ranks in the top 20 per
cent of his class.
— He has a grade average of
3.0 or better.
— He is on the dean's list."
Twos de Night Before Christmas
Twas de night before Christmas,
And all troo de Place vhere I was staying at,
Not a creature vas stirrin', not even de mouses.
Except my Brother-in-law, and he's a rat.
De stokins vas hung by de chimney, kinda careful like.
In hopes dat de man wit de long red snickers vould soon be dar.
Ma in her stokins and me in my nightshirt,
Had yust vashed our feet fer a long vinter's night.
Ven all of a sudden on de roof dar vas a dickens of a noise.
I spranged to de vindow to see if it vas de Boys.
Avay to de vindow I flew like a flash,
I could hafe made it faster, but I yust ate some hash.
De moon vas shining like it vasn't even night.
But vat to my vandering eyes should appear, but a teensy-veensy

And he hollered and shouted and called dem bad names.

All of a sudden I heard dose animals monkeyin around up der vith

I drew in me head, tripped over de cat;
And down de chimney came Santa Claus, flat on his back.
He vas fat as an old hog, a right yolly old elf.
And I laughed vhen I saw him, I yust couldn't help it.
His droll little mouth vas drawn up in a bow,
And de beard on his chin dragged him down in de snow.
A stub of a pipe he had tight in his tooth.
And de smoke roolled around his head like a hoop.
He had a little round belly, dat shook vhen he chuckled,
Yust like some good grape yelly.
A vink of his eye and a tvist of his head soon got me to know
I didn't have nothin' to vorry about.
He spoke not a vord, but vent right to his vork.

Dear Maryville College Community:
Recently the Highland Echo published a trio of articles con-
cerned with explaining the admissions policy of the College. These
articles represented a possible point of view with regard to ad-
missions. We would like to share another possible point of view. One
thing for which Maryville College has been noted in its past, and
therefore an important part of the tradition out of which she grows,
has been her concern for quality education. Whatever else was said
about the "old" Maryville of the twenties, thirties, and forties, it was
always recognized that she enabled her students to receive a good
liberal arts education. At the same time, Maryville was concerned for
the people of our nation who found it difficult to pay the higher
prices of other institutions. It would appear that we are moving
from the tradition of a good education for less money to that of
a poor education for more money. We are no longer primarily
concerned with the financially deficient but with the academically
deficient.
We ask ourselves the question, "What happens to an academic
community when it admits large numbers of probationery students?"
It has been our experience that undei* such circumstances the
faculty are forced to spend more and more time and energy helping
the low-level student grasp after mediocrity. This is Always done at
the expense of time and energy that might be given to the good and
better students both in the sense of ability and motivation. As a con-
sequence, higher-level students find less and less challenge and turn
toward other academic communities or non-academic pursuits. This
in turn means there is less intellectual stimulation for the faculty,
who either leave or settle comfortably into habits and thought
patterns of an unchanging routine. The total result is a downgrading
and destruction of the academic life of the community.
As a private institution of higher learning, do we have to con-
cede to the public philosophy that anyone who wants an education
ought to be given the chance — at Maryville? At what cost to our
academic life? Does the "new" Maryville have to become a lesser
Maryville, or can she move on to fill the gap of the lack of quality
liberal arts colleges in the Southland?
In the light of these concerns we unsentimentally but respect-
fully raise the question, "Is the present admissions policy the best
policy for Maryville College?"

Handel's Messiah Given
34 Years
A chorus of over 250, with a full orchestra and pipe organ,
presented the Messiah in the College Chapel Sunday, December 11.
The program Sunday was the 34th annual presentation of Handel's
great oratorio at Maryville.
The chorus, which had been rehearsing since Oct. 10, was made
up of the Maryville College Choir, the Women's Choir, Men's Glee
Club, and others from the college and community. The "Messiah"
was directed by Dr. Harry H. Harter, Chairman of the Department
of Fine Arts. , , , <. » l

1200-seat Wilson Chapel. Mrs.
Sallie W. Schoen played the
harpsichord, and Robert J. Bon-
ham, the piano. Jonathan Gres-
ham, director of the Highlander
Band, rehearsed the orchestra.
Most of the work was perform-
ed, although some of the music
is left out each year because a
full performance of the Messiah
passages set to music and telling
the story of the prophecy of
Christ's coming, his birth,

Once upon a time there was
a momma bear, a poppa bear, a
little brat bear (he was pamper-
ed by momma and poppa), and
a litde baby bear. Now momma
and pc^pa bear always told their
two baby bears to always tell the
truth and everything would be
all-right. This was the best thing
that they could do.
One day, little baby bear ate
some porridge, which his momma
forbade him to eat. She said, "If
either of you two boys eats this
porridge, I am going to spank
you twenty times." Nevertheless,
the baby bear ate the porridge
because he was hungry. It seems
that his momma never gave him
any so he was tempted to take
some.
Now little brat bear saw him
take some porridge and decided
to tell on his brother . . . "Maybe
momma and poppa will love me
more if I tell them?"

Maryyille Scot
Footboll Team
Honored
Members of the 1 966 Maryville
College Scot football squad and
the coaches were honored at a
banquet sponsored by -the Hon-
aker Club Wednesday, Dec. 14,
at the Green Meadow Country
Club. Jack Proffitt was Master
of Ceremonies, and Coach James
Dunn, Backfield Coach for the
University of Tennessee, showed
filmed highlights of U-Ts 1965
season.
One of the men who has had
a major part during the past two
years in the transition of the
Vols from the single wing to the
I formation, Coach Dunn saw his
work pay off last December with
a 37-point output against UCLA.
Only a few seasons ago, Dunn
himself was cutting a mean path
through the Southeastern Con-
ference despite the handicap im-
posed by a decided weight dis-
advantage. It is a tribute to hist
fighting qualities that Florida
was able to compile an 18-9- re-
cord during the three years he
directed the T formation attack
there.
At 143 pounds. Coach Dunn
gained fame as one of the na-
tion's smallest quarterbacks, and
as his career advanced he also be-
came recognized as one of the
best.
A compendium of happiest col-
lege memories for the dapper
backfield coach would have to in-
clude Florida's 20-0 win over
Auburn when he was a sopho-
more in 1958 — a season which
ended in a visit to the Gator
Bowl. An especially sweet 7-6
triumph over Georgia was made
possible that year by a 76-yard
touchdown run by Jimmy.
Coach Dunn, who played for,
and then served under. Bob
Woodruff when the latter was'
head coach at Florida, came to
Tennessee from his Alma Mater
in December, 1963.
M. H. Gamble, President oi
the Honaker Club, welcomed the
guests, and Maryville College
Coach Howard Tomlinson an-
nounced the names of the co-
captains for next year's Mary-
vilk squad. Coach Tomlinson also
r xde awards and presented
etters to this year's lettermen.
Officers of the Honaker Club
are Dr. Robert Proffitt, Presi-
dent-elect; Ira Morrison,, Vice
President; Robert Jackson, Sec-
retary; William Anderson, Trea-
surer; and Arnold Kramer, Tom
West, and Hobart F^ord, Direc-
tors.
The Honaker Club, formed in
1951 to honor the late Lombe
Scott Honaker, Coach and Ath-
letic Director at Maryville Col-
lege for 30 years, is now provid-
ing the Lombe Scott Honaker
Academic Scholarships to Mary-
ville College. The scholarships
are awarded to athletes. In ad-
dition, the club seeks to help the
College in promotion of the
varsity athletic program.
Winter Sports Start
The winter sports season started last week when the Maryville
Roundballers played four games and the Grapplers wrestled in two
meets. In wrestling Maryville scrimmaged against Carson-Newman
and showed a great deal of strength. This match proved that this
year the points will be spread out between the light and heavyweight
divisions as the Scots presented one of their most balanced teams
in recent years. Last Saturday Maryville met the much improved
Knoxville 'Y' in Knoxville. They won their first regular season
match. Winning for the Scots were Captain Ron Pritts at 123 lbs.,
Garry Dauron at 137, Gary Loss at 145, Bob Nicolas at 152, and
Van Pallis at 177. Ralph Johnson and Lynn Dodez looked strong
in losing matches against superior opponents.
There is a tide in the affairs of

The Basketball team got off to
a slow start. On Dec. 1, they lost
to Warren Wilson 85-66. Bill
Padgett put in 31 points in a los-
ing effort. Captain Jack Llewel-
lyn and Phil Bettis scored 10
each. Jon Hancher pulled in 15
rebounds for the Scots. On Dec.,
5, the Scots traveled to Emory,
Virginia, to meet the Emory and
Henry Wasps. Maryville suffered
its second set-back 129-91. Bettis
was high scorer with 27 points.
Padgett added 20 and Llewellyn
12. Jon Hancher was once again
high rebounder with 9. On Dec.
8 the Scots faced LMU (Lincoln
Memorial University) and were
manhandled by a score of 124-62.
LMU had five players in the
double figures and a 50% field
goal shooting average. They also
set an OVC (Ohio Valley Con-
ference) record for the most re-
bounds in a game with 87 grabs.
For the Scots, Padgett scored 31
points — half of the Scot output
that night — and Bettis put in 10.
Hancher and Bruce VanLeuven
led the Scot rebounders with 7
each.
On Saturday, Dec. 10, the
Scots met Berry on the home
court. After a close first half
that ended in a 40-40 tie, the
Scots cooled off and Berry surged
ahead to wiri 90-72. Padgett 'and
Llewellyn lea the Scot scorers
with 22 points, while Don Payne
and Bettis added 1 1 more each.
Padgett led the rebounders with
4.
win over Bryan
Monday, Dec. 12, the Scots
faced Bryan College at Maryville
and came away with their first
victory of the season. Maryville
broke the century mark for the
first time in over three years as
they won going away by a score
of 102-75. Padgett started things
off by scoring 7 quick points and
from then on the Scots lead by
at least 5 points for the rest of
the game. TTie Scotties took a slim
46-39 lead into the half time
period, but they came back ready
to stop Bryan cold. The Bryan
Lions threatened to keep up for
about 5 minutes, until their of-,
fense fell apart. In the second
half they scored on only 9 of 45
shots from the floor. Coach Baird
went to the second team with
three minutes left and a twenty
point lead. With one minute left
in the game, Lynn Dildine scored
the 100th point, and a few sec-
onds later, Dick Ward added two
more to round out the scoring for
the Scots, Padgett and Llewllyn
led scorers with 25 points, Payne
had 16, and Bettis added 15. In
the rebound department, Llewel-.
lyn had 13, VanLeuven and Pad-
gett 11. The Scots are now 1-4 ■
for the season.

discuss changing the observance
of Christmas or New Year's Day.
Significantly, 90% of the
businessmen felt that their em-
ployees will like the idea and that
it will improve employee morale.
In addition to supporting the
idea as an aid to their employees,
more than half of the business-
men said that the changes would
help production work schedules.
One-third expressed belief that
the changes would stimulate the
sales of goods and services.
About 14% disapproved the
idea. Objections most frequently
dealt with the traditional aspects
of existing holiday observance
dates and the possibility that
more highway accidents might
result from increasing the num-
ber of three-day weekends.
Interest by the Chamber mem-
bers in this subject was under-
lined by the enthusiastic remarks
of many respondents. A small
Wyoming service company said:
"This would be the smartest thing
that ever happened." A California
banker queried his employees and
"was amazed at the spontaneous
enthusiasm for the idea."

Beaux Arts Trio in
Artist Series
The Beaux Arts Trio of New York with Menahem Pressler at
the piano, Daniel Guilet, violin; and Bernard Greenhouse, cello,
presented the second program in the Maryville College-Community
Artists Series Friday, Jan. 13, in the College Chapel.
The trio has recently won the esteemed "Grand Prix du Disque,
1964" in Paris, and is now equally famous on both sides of the
Atlantic. It has the unique distinction of having performed no less
than nine consecutive seasons at the Berkshire Music Festival in
Tanglewood.

"There is not any prohibition
in the Immigration Act or Re-
gulations against the admission
of persons who may be seeking
to avoid induction into the arm-
ed services and, therefore, pro-
vided they meet immigration re-
quirements we have no basis in
law for barring their entry."
(Tom Kent, Deputy Minister of
Citizenship and Immigration).
External Affairs Minister Paul
Martin told a press conference
in September, when asked about
draft dodging: "We don't feel
under any obligation to enforce
the laws in that regard of any
country." ( Weekend Mag,azine,
Nov. 26, 1966.)
"The War in Vietnam raises
a moral dilemma for many young
Americans. Many face the pros-
pect of being drafted to fight in
a war which they may not under-
stand or may deeply oppose. A
limited set of alternatives are
available to them. If they are
pacifist they can apply for con-
scientious objector status and
perform alternative or non-com-
batant service. Most Western
religious thought on war is not
pacifistic, but holds that the in-
dividual can participate in a just
war. U. S. Selective Service law.
however, makes no provision for
an individual who. in conscience,
judges the Vietnam war as un-
just. These Americans have 3
alternatives. Some stifle their ob-
jections and serve in the forces.
Some refuse induction and sub-
ject themselves to a serious
prison sentence. Some immigrate
to a country not involved in the
war. Those who take the last
alternative, and are subsequently
declared delinquent for failure to
heed orders from their draft
boards, cannot return to the
United States without facing in-
duction or imprisonment. They
are. however, able to remain in
a number of countries with little
fear of being returned to the
United States. One such country
is Canada.
An American who is classified
1 -A, jr who has received a notice
to report for his physical, or
who has received a notice
to report for induction, has no
greater difficulty — formallv, at
least — in entering, and remain-
ing in, Canada, than does any
other American. . . .
Some Americans who have be-
come landed immigrants have
subsequently renounced their
American citizenship. They are
then not obligated too comply
with Selective Service regula-
tions. An American who violates
a provision of selective service
law cannot be extradited for that
reason. Furthermore, a foreigner
in Canada cannot be deported
for failure to submit to com-
pulsory military service in his
home country."
A "landed immigrant" is some-
one who has been lawfully ad-
mitted to Canada for permanent
residence. A landed immigrant
differs from a citizen in that he

Eggers Receives
NCAA Scholarship
Frank M. Eggers, II, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Eggers of
Maryville, traveled to Houston,
Tex., Jan. 10 to accept a $1,000
National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation scholarship. Eggers, a
senior was invited to come to
Houston by the NCAA.
The award of the scholarship
to Eggers, a Maryville High
School graduate, was announced
before the Christmas holidays.
He plans to use the money to
attend Vanderbilt University
Medical School.
A guard on the Scot line and
a four-year letterman, Eggers is
an honor student and member
of the Student Council. He and
the other winners of NCAA
awards have been invited to
Houston to the Annual Meeting
of the Association. Coaches and
representatives from schools be-
longing to the NCAA will be
present for the meeting. Mary-
ville was also represented by
Coach Howard Tomlinson.
A second scholarship award
for Maryville College senior
Frank M. Eggers was announced
Jan. 18 by Vanderbilt University.
Eggers has been awarded one
of six merit scholarships to
Vanderbilt's School of Medicine
by the Justin and Valere Potter
Foundation. The scholarships, ef-
fective in September, cover four
years of medical training and are
for $2,500 annually.
The Vanderbilt awards are
made on the basis of merit alone.
After scholastic screening by the
admission committee of the medi-
cal school, acceptable candidates
were referred to the Justin Potter
Scholarship Selection Committee,
which consists primarily of lay-
men. The candidates are then in-
vited to Nashville for final in-
formal screening by the commit-
tee.

Debate Team Holds
Demonstration
Debate on
January 27
The public is invited to attend
a forensic exhibition to be pre-
sented by the Maryville debate
squad on January 27. With an
eye on next year's champion
team, Coach Proffitt has sched-
uled the program to spur campus
enthusiasm in the pleasure and
valuable experience of intercol-
legiate speech competition. De-
bate will begin at seven that
evening in the chapel.
Varsity debater Penny Proffitt
will emcee. Wanda Hannah and
Ray Phillippi will introduce and
defend the resolution "Resolved:
that the attendance policy should
be changed." Grappling with
this question from the thorny
negative position will be Alice
Barton and Fred Abramoff.
In addition to debating of the
national topic, squad members
compete in a variety of other
forensic areas. Maryville speak-
ers, a semester of rugged tourna-
ments behind them, are expected
to do well in State eliminations
and other battles royal next
month.
The debate f/ill conclude in
time for students to attend the
faculty recital.

The Board of National Mis-
sions of the United Presbyterian
Church U.S. A. is now offering
both adults and youth oopportun-
ities for voluntary summer ser-
vice in interfaith and interracial
programs. That announcement
was made in New York last week
by the Rev. William H. Miller,
director of the home missions
agency's Department of Volun-
tary Services.
Opportunities for service, he
said, are varied. Almost all of
them are cooperative in sponsor-
ship. Activities range from teach-
ing in programs of cultural en-
richment, music and art, and re-
creation to community organiza-
tion and development in both
urban and rural areas. Term of
service is from one to three
months. Project locations, among
others, include Alaska, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, and Puerto Rico.

CIVILIZATIONS PERISH IN THE HEART. NOT IN THE HEAD.
No, No. In the heart. For lack of love they perish. No government,
no college education, no intellectual plunderbund, no hierarchy of
priests and ecclesiastics, no military might, no first-to-the-moon
supremacy, no up-the-do^vn social class, no integration march, no
business, no labor union, no political party, no rich-rich, no poor-
poor— none of these can give you love. Only Christ. He destroys
hate. You cannot have the brotherhood of man, without the father-
hood of God. That's love. This passage is from Tell No Man by
Adela Rogers St. John.
Yes, it is concern which will determine what the future of the
world will be, or at least the future of Western man. And yet to be
concerned is not quite enough for all the concern in the world isn't
any good if we do not allow it to be seen in action — action which
requires something many of us are not willing to give or to be: our-
selves. Too often we try to appear to be something which we are
not. We assume the right codes, the right aversions, the right dress
and the right answers. We are so wrapped up with ourselves we do
not see the world withering from lack of love and human concern.
For all the time we spend saying how dissatisfied and confused we
are, we have little to show. We say we want to know the answers,
show us the way. But do we really try to find the answers, the truth
as it is and not as we want it to be? Are we not trying to find as
easily as possible the answers which have been prefabricated for us
by our society? If not, then what are we doing? How long will it
take most of us to attain the real truth of life on which the most
basic standards of our lives will be founded? Will we take the time
and the energy to go beyond th first hurdle in pursuit of this goal?
Or is even this goal just too far to walk?
How far are we willing to walk — to Viet Nam? Do you know
if you could or would? How much easier it is not to think about
this. Instead we show our concern by rallying to the latest social
protest group. We are so concerned we don't know what to do with
it all, so we become introspective and keep it to ourselves after all
it isn't good to have too much concern. You aren't manly if you do.
Becoming introspective wouldn't be so bad if we looked at ourselves,
but we can't get that far. We are too busy worrying about ourselves,
our likes and our dislikes, our friends and our clothes, our food
and our empty shell of a college. With all these issues to worry
about how can we have time to look in and see what we, as people
are like? But time is rurming out for us. We aren't going to have
the luxury of extra years of security and serenity to slowly and
quietly figure out our lives according to Freud et al. We are not
running out of time merely because we are growing older, we art
running out of time because there is something basically wrong
with our society today. We are fast becoming a society characterized
by short range hedonism and personal pleasure, of the cheap thrill
and the mass concensus. We try to find ourselves by assuming dif-
fererit poses and masks. As the author John Hersey said: We try
a Mississippi mask one summer, then a poet mask or a stevedore
mask or an office-boy-for-the-Kansas City Star-with-a-vague-idea-of-
goirig into government mask next summer. This is much easier than
having to say who and what we are. Why be one thing when we
can be all of these. Why try to undrestand the world when we can
run away from it and hide in pseudo intellectual and pseudo liberal
clubs and clothes. We are members of the greatest nation on earth,
in fact we are so enchanted by our greatness that we do not see any-
thing wrong with our society, a society which trains its young men
to kill a human being in less than fifteen seconds, a society which
uses napalm described by some as the most effective torture devised
by man, a society in which the symbols of a past tyranny are
blatantly displayed by its youth (is there really any great difference
between the war hero and the war criminal?), a society which kills
1,000 civilians a month in a war it does not want to fight. Perhaps
the Russian poet is right when he says: many nations have begun
wars only because of a delusive instinct for self preservation. Even
so — why can't an affluent society be humane?
Perhaps it is because to be humane you must be an individual.
Where humaneness does not exist you must be willing to dissent.
How many times have you been told not to rock the boat, to be
satisfied and to take plenty of time before acting? An eternity is
a long time. One man said that dissent is more than a right, it is an
obligation that everyone opposed to the status quo owes himself and
society. Remember that as long as you are a part of a society and
as long as you accept the advantages and benefits of that com-
munity, you have a responsibility to it. It isn't good enought any
more to merely give lip-service. We must be willing to act and
to assume the idea that we must be concerned with the problems
and the peoples of the rest of the world. Our days of supremacy
are numbered if we remain as intolerant and smug as we have
been and are continuing to be. The status quo isn't working and it
must be changed. We must realize that to dissent is not to be
treasonable, if it is done constructively and intelligently. The whole
of society is being bombarded with questions and challenges by
a few of its members, and we would be doing ourselves a great dis-
service if we did not at least attempt to understand what is being
said. You decry the ineffectiveness of the present institution^
church and yet are you willing to be one of those to take the
church into the market place where it has not been for a long time?
Just how much are you willing to give. Just how much are you
really concerned. Does it make any difference to you that you do
not care about anything, that the biggest piece of news you heard
yesterday was that Nancy Am didn't wear any earrings? Do you
know what percentage of the world's population is comprised of
white Christians who live in a democratic and affluent society? If
you can't answer the question, "Why can't an affluent society be
humane?", periiaps you had better work on whether a non-affluent
society can be humane, and concerned for others.

may not vote in some elections,
he cannot obtain a Canadian
passport, and he can be deported
for certain fairly well-defined of-
fenses. After 5 years as a landed
immigrant, he is eligible for
citizenship. Becoming a landed
immigrant does not affect one's
American citizenship.
It is the present policy of the
Immigration Department that
the fact that the granting of
landed immigrant status will have
the effect of permitting an in-
dividual to evade the U. S. draft
is not relevant to the question of
his suitability as a landed im-
migrant. Although Canada does
not encourage draft evasion, it
is no bar, in itself, to entry. How-
ever, due to the range of dis-
cretion allowed an immigration
official, it is possible that his
personal feelings on the question
of the draft may influence his
decision. Some officials may
view with favour the fact that
an American seriously intends to
become a Canadian citizen and
in light of that does not consider
that he has an obligation to serve
in the army of the country he
was bom in but has chosen to
leave. Other officials, however,
may consider that military ob-
ligation morally binding and
may question such as American's
character. Therefore, applicants
subject to the draft have gener-
ally considered it advisable not
to mention their status unless
asked.
An American who has already
received his notice to report for
induction is apparently in the
same situation, as far as the Im-
migration Department is con-
cerned, as someone who has not
vet received the notice. He may,
however, encounter the following
problem: if the interviewing of-
ficial is skeptical about those who
decline to fight for the U. S., he
is apt to be more disapproving
if he knows that the applicant
received his notice to report than
he would be otherwise.
It is the present policy of the
Immigration Department that a
person who has already been in-
ducted into the armed forces is
not eligible for landed immigrant
status until he has completed his
military obligation.
Since United States law holds
that citizens living outside the
U. S. are subject to U. S. selec-
tive service law, many Americans
with landed immigrant status in
Canada have received notices to
report for a physical examina-
tion or notice to report for in-
duction. An individual who fails
to report as directed would be
subject to arrest if he subsequent-
ly visited the U. S. However, an
individual who is not resident in
the U. S. and is not an American
citizen is not subject to IJ. S.

Canada at the request of the

A short letter on why the
Maryville College administration
views all Maryville College Stu-
dents as not being mature en-
ough to make their own decisions
and determine what is best for
their own personal interests.
From the time the student
steps on campus, he is told ex-
actly what to do and when to do
it. He is told what classes to take,
when to eat, what not to drink,
when to be back "home," what
he may do, what he must not do,
where he may go to do things,
where he must not go to do
things he musn't do.
He is not told why-or if he is
told why, it has very little bear-
ing on the actual reason, for
rather obvious reasons.
If the student is not able to
adjust himself to campus life,
an appointment is made with the
dean in hopes that the dean may
still be able to convert the stu-
dent so that said student might
be able to conform with the re-
sponsibilities of living on the
Maryville College Campus.
In short, the ideal Maryville
College student is not expected
to think for himself; indeed this
is a nasty trait which the Ad-
ministration highly frowns on.
But the Administration must be
taken into consideration on this
point. They have gone to great
lengths and great personal sacri-
fices of time and energy so that
the student may not have to think
for himself, and when a rebelious
student does make an attempt to
think for himself, the administra-
tion has no other recourse but to
consider it as a slap against their
personal integrity. (And well
they should)
Surrounded by such an en-
vioroment, the Administration is
absolutely correct in their as-
sumption that the student, ac-
cording to all laws of reason,
logic, and common sense is
thoroughly immature, and com-
pletely incapable of making re-
sponsible decisions for himself.

sently within the jurisdiction of
Canada who is accused of or has
been convicted of a crime com-
mitted within the jurisdiction of
the U. S. One can only be ex-

Further, an offense can only be

Canada does not have a draft

"What do you think of the Beriin wall?"
"The wall has two sides — a. good side and a bad side, and the
bad side is the war in Vietnam."
That was my first question and the answer I got to it after the
preliminaries of polite conversation were over. It was May 1, the
big holiday for the Communist Party in East Germany. The streets
of E^st Berlin were filled with people waiting to see the parades and
to hear political speeches by top Party officials. After waiting about
two hours in line, I, too, got through the control point on Friedrich
Strasse and waited with the crowd for the parade to begin.

Class committees are taking their jobs seriously. Members of the
honorably-retired Christmas committee continue to actively support
other class projects. Anyone wanting to contribute to these efforts
need only ask a chairman for the meeting time of his committee.
Mac Mahan reports that his committee is working toward
a February dance. Let him know you are eager to help make it an-
other success.
The Movie Committee, reports
Ruth Lampe, is ordering a fam-
ous film comedy and an enter-
taining short feature for the
Froosh movie in April.
Your Evaluation & Analysis
Committee, led by Bob Knapp,
has its hands full with the pro-
cessing of its penetrating ques-
tionnaire, to which many of you
are now responding. The final
evaluation will no doubt prove
valuable to study of our campus
character. Please participate in
this work.
The Program committee and
other Frosh planners are count-
ing on your next semester's dues
to insure success of the movie,
dance (s), and outings sponsored
this spring, so . . . The more
contributed by the members will
result in better programs and
activities. Let's get behind the
chairmen and support them.

Why was it I
who bore a son
that died before his mother died?
I wept at the pain when I was taken
I wept when you were in me churning
I wept at your birth for the pain of losing
the part of me that was most living
And now at your death I weep
for all those pains which were not given
for you to suffer.
Why is the pain of birth more lasting
than the pain of death?

Come Clevedon
Up from the sea to search chalk crevices
Fingering slowly toward heaven and the fields
I hear the sun warm up the east-blue sea, and off
In the wind-wise skies keep soaring
Bam swifts, gulls and fishes (turn-down streaks go plop
where breakfast swims deep deep among the waves.)
Out to the west going Elham, Ashford, tumble hills I've known.
The bale, weald, ashdown forest daric (now Grinstead)
green like old trees goes.
And I amid the leighs, meres, wicks, and boroughs
make a way, and off
Through cow-strewn pasture seas I make to Wey.
Ho now the vale of pewsey, plain of Salis-
bury brown beside the freshets; and the oaks
grow great and wide-spread keep the traveller cool
'til once again the fieJd, now forest, thatch, now
field again, now garden goosed and kittened
near by cottage.
This, then, is how I'll wend a summer song to Mendip-
there Yeo-and down come Clevedon
I will stand again on sand (no cliffs)
To watch the sun slow slow now drop among the waves.
Oh god-red nightfall show me there
My Wales cross the Severn.

Purpose of the United Presby-
terian Board of National Mis-
sions voluntary service program,
Mr. Miller said, is "to meet
human needs through physical
labor, teaching, studying, and
working with others so that the
Church might be more effective
in practicing what it preaches."
"Service is always the work tof
a Christian community," Mr.
Miller added, "and the Church
is called to find the most natural
and adequate forms at its dis-
posal to minister to human
needs." Thus, "The Church has
the obligation to mobilize human
resources at its disposal and to
involve them in its mission. It is
in this context that the voluntary
service programs gain their
significance and the United Pres-
byterian Church can take its
place alongside other denomina-
tions and service agencies."
The denominational home mis-
sions agency has conducted a
program of voluntary services for
more than 40 years. Last summer
some 6,000 high school and col-
lege students, seminarians, and
adults participated in close to
400 church-related projects under
the auspices of the Board of Na-
tional Missions, usually in co-
operation with a variety of other
religious and secular groups in
local communities.

ing additional information re-

The Scot Roundballers played
four games in the early part of
January and emerged with a 2-2
record and a second-place trophy
in the Sun Coast Tournament in
St. Petersburg, Florida. Their re-
cord now stands at 3-7. Almost
immediately upon returning
from the Christmas vacations, the
Scots were able to overcome
Johnson Bible College 71-63 on
JBC's home court, for the Scots
the high scorer was Bill Padgett
with 32.
On the week-end after the
holidays, the Scots flew to St.
Petersburg, Florida, for the Sun
Coast Tournament. In the first
game of the tourney, Maryvilie
met Kentucky Southern. In a
closely fought game, Maryvilie
emerged a 77-70 victor. Bill Pad-
gett led all scorers with 35. The
next night the Scots met defend-
ing champs Florida Presbyterian
and succumbed to the host school
96-65. Padgett once again led
the Maryvilie scoring with 20.
The loss to Florida Presbyterian
gave Maryvilie a second place
in the tourney. King College of
Bristol placed third, Kentucky
Southern was fourth.
Returning home, the Scots met
Emory and Henry. Unable to
overcome an over powering first-
half lead, the Scots ended up on
the short side of the score 88-62.

vilie with 16 points. Maryvilie

The Scot Grapplers increased
their record by one loss and one
win. Wrestling against the Knox-
ville "Y" shortly after the Christ-
mas break, the Scots were unable
to repeat an earlier victory and
were edged 21-18. Maryvilie
looked rusty after their vacation
time away from the mats. One
week later the Scots looked im-
pressively strong, edging out
three other colleges for a first
place in Chattanooga's wrestling
tournament.
Against the Knoxville "Y," the
Scots started strong as Captain
Ron Pritts collected a pin. Gary
Dauron and Gary Loss added
three points each with a decision
and Rob Nicholas two more with
a tie. But the intermediate mat-
ches went to Knoxville. Van
Pallis put Maryvilie back in the
lead with a pin, but they were
unable to remain on top as the
"Y" ended with a pin and a
match win. Tlie Scots looked out
of shape after the holiday, and
Knoxville was "up" for a team
that had earlier beaten them.
The loss does not hurt Maryville's
SEC won-loss record as the "Y"
is not an official team and the
match classified only as an ex-
hibition match.
Wrestling a week later against
the best in the SEC, the Scots
proved they were strongest as
they emerged victors in the
Chattanooga wrestling Tourna-
ment. Although edged in the
final standings by the All-Star
Pensacola Naval base team,
Maryvilie placed at the top of
the four colleges represented. The
final standings were: Pensacoia
67, Maryvilie 56, Milligan 50,
University of Georgia 43, Uni-
versity of Chattanooga 31.
In the individual matches
Maryvilie looked like a power in
the SEC. Pritts at 123 took a
first place. At 130 Gary Dauron
placed second. Showing his
former SEC championship form,
Ralph Johnson took a first and
a trophy from the tourney. The
trophy was an award to both he
and his opponent for the most
exciting match of the competi-
tion. Johnson had to go into an
overtime match to best his op-
ponent.
Gary Loss at 145 and Scott
Wood at 152 collected a fourth
place each. Rob Nicholas was
third at 160. Van Pallis and
Lynn Dodez wresded to second
places at 177 and 191, respective-
ly. In the heavy weight division,
Pat O'Brian ended up in third
place. The strength of the Mary-
vilie team is shown in that it
placed all but two of the partici-
pants taken.
Earlier in the month, Milligan,
the defending champion of the
SEC, had wrestled in the holiday
tournament in Atlanta against all
the powers of the conference. Re-
presented were the University of
Georgia, Auburn, Sewanee, and
Georgia Tech. Milligan seemed
to be the strongest team there.
With this victory, the Scots have
beaten this strong Milligan team
twice, making Maryvilie definite
contenders for the $EC crown.

StudentCouncilCarCommitteeSendsfil'sse Will Lead February
Proposal to Student- Faculty Senate *"*'"g»
\ esterday, 9 February, the Car Committee of the Student Council sent its proposal to the Student-
Faculty Senate for recommendations and approval. This proposal follows many months on work and
thought by the committee, headed by Rob Nichlas.
This past week members of the committee have been discussing the proposal with members of
the executive council and other faculty to get recommendations and suggestions. Many long hours of
work have gone into this proposal, and the members of the committee consider this proposal the
most mature and reasonable one yet prepared. A spirit of optimisim pervades, and it is hoped, says
the committee's chairman along with John MuUholland Student Council President, that the students
will stand behind their student government in presenting this proposal.
The proposal — which follows in rough form— has been modified in part by suggestions from both
faculty and administration. Following action by the Student-Faculty Senate, the proposal, with its
amendments, will be sent to the Executive Council.
The original prepared proposal

"Recognizing t h e increased
communication, now more than
ever existent between the ad-
ministration and the student
body at Maryville College and
the willingness by both to admit
the necessity of change, the Stu-
dent Council strongly believes it
must now submit once again,
some sort of corrective measure
for the now inadequate policy
regarding automobile usage and
ownership. The need for im-
mediate attention to this subject
is evident in the findings of the
recent concensus revealing the
overwhelming dissatisfaction with
the present regulations.

On Saturday, February 4, the
Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fratern-
ity, Xi Rho Chapter, presented a
"Concert of Contemporary
Music." The concert celebrated
the founding of the Xi Rho Chap-
ter at Maryville College a year
ago.
One of the purposes of the
fraternity is to further the cause
of music in America. This was
done by the performance of Con-
temporary works. Two of the
compositions were written by
members of Phi Mu Alpha. An
original composition was written
and performed by Thomas
Llewellyn, entitled "Net of Eter-
nal Longing." The "Tuba Duet,
Op. 2" composed by W. Jonathan
Gresham, the band director, was
performed .by Thomas Dickson
and Richard Smith. Others per-
forming on the recital were
James Breckenridge, Joseph
Henry, William Rumsey, Thomas
Allen, and Edwin Best.
The entire Fraternity partici-
pated in the singing of two early
American folk songs that were
arranged by Aaron Copland,
"Simple Gifts" and "The Boat-
man's Dance." The Fraternity
hopes to present another concert
this semester, continuing to
pr(»Dote all types of music.

CDITCI^I/IL CLTLCer
There are many phases of our existence here of which we are
less than satisfied. Generally, our community problems can be
identified as either academic, religious, or social. In each area there
are a nmber of alternations for which much of our "community"
is striving. They are too varied to discuss at one sitting. Their
comparitive importance is hardly agreed upon. There is, though, we
hope, one thing upon which we might, and certainly ought to, agree.
"Academic" concerns are primary. (And there is an excellent argu-
ment to the point that unhappiness in other general areas is directly
related to academic frustrations.)
It is quite obvious that MC's biggest efforts are currently
academic. Tne new curriculum is going to be a vibrant and exciting
academic revolution. It will make a Maryville College diploma much
more valuable. A reputation already good might become outstanding.
BUT
IF WE ALLOW ACADEMIC DISHONESTY TO BECOME
SYNONOMOUS WITH MARYVILLE, WE MAY JUST AS WELL
CLOSE OUR OCCASIONALLY TOO OPEN DOORS.
Cheating in numerous quite cute forms (scoping, stealing, talk-
ing, cheatsheeting etc.) is about to be rampant. It has to stop or we
have to stop calling ourselves academic. Most of our student body
seems to agree. So does MOST of our faculty.
Ideally, we should be able to control such nonsense from within
the student body. There is no excuse that is even almost valid in
defense of tolerating such obvious infringing upon the rights of
others to an honestly earned education from an institution with an
honest and sound academic reputation. It is even morally lousy, but
I am certainly not qualified to yell morals at anybody.
I am qualified, though, to ask, even demand, that my rights
to a valid education not be frustrated by a curvebreaker who gets
eight hours of Z's all semester except when forced to review how to
cheat on exams.
My plea should be to students. And it is to some degree. But,
too pragmatic, I am also prepared to join the rapidly snowballing
student demand that the faculty be somehow forced to demand
honest efforts in exchange for those hard-to-get-honestly grades.
(The Academics Committee of the Student Council is leading an
active namecalling assault on Anderson Hall in hopes that the
powers-that-be will be made aware where to look for professors who
are too trusting or unprincipled to demand uniformity and honesty.
Any who would like to join the fun will be welcomed enthusiastical-
ly.)
This editorial, then, though too long to be read by those too
lazy to study, is esentially a warning to the faculty that a great many
students are sick of "coddling" and ready to demand its immediate
halt. It is also an opener in a series of moves aimed at some sort
of a student run system of disciplining ourselves..
Comments, please. Is the student body going to continue to
"grin and bear it" and cut its academic throat, or do we have en-
ough guts to tell our friends to shape up or get out?

To the editor:
Exaggeration does have a way
of creeping into prejudiced
criticism. This was amply il-
lustrated in the letter to the edi-
tor in the January 20th issue of
the Echo. In that letter the fol-
lowing comment was made:
"The ideal Maryville College stu-
dent is not expected to think for
himself; indeed this is a nasty
trait which tne Administration
highly frowns on." When one
reads the rest of the letter, it
becomes apparent that the writer
is quite bitter toward the ad-
ministration for some unnamed,
no doubt, personal reason. We
respect the writer's desire not
to speak openly of her reason.
On the other hand, we sternly
question the justification for
flagrantly venting one's rage
against authority in general, and
labeling the administration as
deterrents to the students' educa-
tion.
Thinking for oneself is a re-
sponsibility, which a person must
not expect to have simply hand-
ed to him, but which he must
earn and deserve. Self deter-
mination does not automatically
give one the right to do any-
thing he wants, whenever he
wants, wherever he wants, for
how long he wants, as the writer
of the biased letter seemed to ad-
vocate. If a student cannot learn
the limitations of "thinking for
himself," then the fault lies with
the individual, not with that bat-
tered-about abstract, the ad-
ministration.
P.S. The letter in the last
issue of the Echo began "To the
Editor:" and yet was titled "Edi-
torial Outlook." We sincerely
hope that the title was a typo-
graphical error, and that the edi-
tor does not really share the im-
mature view expressed in the
letter.

A talk was given in chapel re-
cently concerning the proper use
of man's talents. Central to the
message was the idea that pro-
test against our government's
policies was a misuse of our time
and ability. I would like to take
violent issue to this thesis. Dissent
is not simply a privilege; it is
an obligation incurred by every
member of a democratic society
when that society embarks upon
a policy which conflicts with the
individual's conscience. To re-
main silent in the face of in-
justice is more than foolish; it
smacks of treason.

Romeros Appear in Artist
Series
The Romeros, a father and three sons known as Spain's First
Family of the Guitar, appeared last Friday evening, February 3, for
a program in the College-Community Artists Series.
In an almost three hour concert the Romeros entertained the
audience with selections from Vivaldi, Paganini, and various Span-
ish composers in addition to numerous traditional Flamenco songs.
Following the program, the guitarists gave five encores including
a poem by Celedonio Romero accompanied by his sons. The audience
enjoyed the concert very much and responded with a standing ovation
for a fine performance.
In a succession of triumphant appearances throughout the
country the Romero Family, during their first season, performed
on three network television shows, gave two Town Hall concerts,
performed for the New York Philharmonic Symphony Society, re-
corded three albums for Mercury Records, and finished the season
with a concert at the Seattle World's Fair.
Now residents of Los Angeles,
Calif., the Romeros until recent-
ly only concertized in Spain.

the classic guitar and share with

the age of three, graduated from
the Madrid Conservatory as one
of his country's leading instru-
mentalists. He married early and
settled in the city of his birth,
Malaga, on the Andalucian coast.
Celin, age 24, Pepe, age 18, and
Angel, age 14, are his only
children and were practicing
scales as soon as they were old
enough to hold a guitar. Celin
gave his first public performance
at the age of five by radio broad-
cast. Pepe, when seven years old,
gave a joint recital with his
father at Seville's Teatro Lope
de Vega. Angel's debut took place
at the Lobero Theatre in Santa

touch" in the family, and his
sinuous, melodic style is con-
sidered perfect for the late
Romantic composers in which he
specializes. Angel's prodigious
rhythmic sense finds its expres-
sion in the baroque repertoire,
and on the family's recent tour
he programmed the Bach Cha-
conne.
Unlike his brothers, Pepe early
revealed an uncanny feeling for
the Flamenco style. As a young
boy he became absorbed in the

Students Are Instructed How to Use Lab
Mobile Radioisotope
Laboratory Visits Campus
A mobile radioisotope laboratory, bringing Oak Ridge facilities
to the Maryville College campus, used has been during the last two
weeks by Maryville students January 30, to February 10. The mobile
laboratory is a special program of the Oak Ridge Associated Uni-
versities and is designed to meet the needs of colleges which do not
have facilities to present courses in the handling of radioactive
materials.
Three lecturers have accompanied the laboratory while it has
been on the Maryville campus. They are Sister Mary Charles Wes-
rhler, Max H. Lombardi, and W. Keith Lee.
Sister Mary Charles Weschler
holds the doctorate in physical
chemistry from Carnegie In-
stitute of Technology. Lombardi,
a native of Peru, holds the
master's degree in radiation
biology from Cornell; and Lee,
the laboratory instructor, is a
graduate of the University of
Chattanooga with a degree in
combined sciences.
Since 1948, the Special Train-
ing Division of ORAU, under
contract with the U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission, has been
providing basic and specialized
courses in radioisotope tech-
niques to scientists from all over
the world. Three of the units
visit about 40 colleges during the
academic year, and provide
training ia the use of radioactive
materials to students and faculty
members.
The two-week program follows
the format developed by the
ORAU staff as a means of pro-
viding the maximum benefit to
the participants in the minimum
of time, and with minimal inter-
ference with regularly scheduled
classes.
Because of space limitations,
the program is divided into
laboratory and lecture sessions.
The laboratory sessions are held
in the traveling unit, and the lec-
tures are given in the institution's
classrooms or lecture halls. This
permits dividing the class so that
two laboratory sessions and one
lecture session for 12 to 16
participants can be convenient-
ly held each day. A well-rounded
series of laboratory experiments
and lectures is presented that
covers the basic counting tech-
niques and applications of radio-
isotopes in the fields of physics,
chemistry and biology.
Following a general introduc-
tion to radiation, atomic struc-
ture, and nuclear processes, lec-
tures are presented on the char-
acteristics of beta radiation, scin-
tillation detection of gamma
radiation, radiation detection and
instrument calibration, standardi-
zation of radioactive sources, car-

Freshmen projects are ready
to explode into fruition. New
programs are being planned, and
new responsibilities assumed by
committee chairmen.
Tabulation of the Evaluation
and Analysis committee question-
aires has been completed. Basic
results are posted in the Fresh-
men dorms. Tliere emerged a
general concensus of Frosh
opinion consisting of helpful im-
provements toward college policy
and attitude. Bob Knapp, chair-
man, presented the significant
results of the questionaire to Stu-
dent Council, and will be provid-
ing pertinent information to
other campus organizations.
Ideas gleamed from this study
will be incorporated into the
work of the New Orientation and
Constitution committee. This
group, headed by Shep Spear
and John Hay, will draft a set
of by-laws to lend order and
stability to our class proceed-
ings. In addition, it will suggest
an efficient and beneficial
orientation program for next
year's freshmen. It is hoped that
our administration will take ad-
vantage of this research and in-
sight.
The Movie committee reports
that the desired pictures have
been promised by the distributor.
They will be shown April 22,
1967.
A committee is working to in-
nagurate an inter-class sports
program in the very near future.
Recruiting sheets for class teams
will be posted as soon as clear-
ance is obtained.

2. to enhance extra off-campus
social and cuhural activities;
3. to adopt a graduated scale of
priviledges with the attain-
ment of upper-class status;
4. to provide additional op-
portunities for academic re-
search ;
5. to help facilitate the student
teaching program; and
6. to increase the efficiency and
success of on-campus or-
ganizations and activities
"The Suggested Proposal was
formulated from the following in-
formation gathered by the com-
mittee:
1. evaluation of aiutomobile
policies at the ten colleges
presently having their cur
riculum studied by our ad-
ministration ;
2. 92% recognized the need
for cars at Maryville;
3. the previously mentioned stu-
dent body poll;

4. reports from campus organi-
zations;
5. faculty opinion evaluation;
6. consultation with administra-
tive officers for suggestions.
"Realistically, the car commit-
tee admits the possible existence
of certain disadvantages to some ;
however, it firmly believes the
advantages stated in the first
paragraph far outweigh any pos-
sible disadvantages that could
arise. It may be argued by some
that the reasons behind this pro-
posal are social without regard
to academic entanglements ;
therefore, it should be made clear
that in actuality, sound academics
is a basic requirement of this
proposal, and only those meet-
ing this requirement are afford-
ed the proposed privilege. The
Car Committee requests an item-
ized appraisal of this proposal,
in the hopes that points of dis-
agreement can be discussed. It
also requests that this be regard-
ed as a two year experimental

Scots Take Two
From C-N
Meeting the Eagles* twice in
three days, the Scots barely sur-
vived the first match, and then
ran away with the second. On
Tuesday, January 31, the Scots
scraped out a 24-23 win. Then on
Thursday, the second of Febru-
ary, at Carson Newman, the Scots
rode to a 23-14 victory.
TTie first encounter started off
with a pin in the 115 lb. division
by Vince Cannon of C-N. MC
came back strong with three
straight decisions: Ron Pritts by
9-0, Gary Dauron by 13-2, and
Tom Chase by 8-4. Ralph John-
son then pinned Bill Curtis with
2:50 remaining in the match.
The score at this point stood 14-
5 in favor of the Scots. After a
Carson Newman pin of Scott
Wood, Rob Nicolas lost no time
in pinning Walker Moore in 35
seconds. Harry Burnett was pin-
ned, the Vain Pallis secured the
win with a pin of Gary Page in
the second period. The score at
this point stood 24-13, with two
matches remaining. In the last
two fights, Lynn Dodez and Pat
O'Brien were both pinned. Dodez
wrestled by far the most interest-
ing match of the evening. Lynn
got the take-down in the first
period, and had his opponent
almost pinned for a minute, but
the buzzer sounded before he
could finish him off. The second
and third periods saw an ex-
change of positions, near falls
and predicaments by both men.
Then, with 40 seconds remaining
in the match, Dodez fell into a
pinning hold which he could not
break and the match went to
Carson Newman.
In the second encounter, Mary-
ville locJced much sharper, es-
pecially after a few alternations
in the Jine up. Ruhlin decisioned
Cannon 10-6, Pritts decisioned
Kennedy 3-1, Dauron decisioned
Sheldon 4-0, Johnson decissioned
Hensley 4-1 ; and the Scots found
themselves with a 12-0 lead after
the first four matches.
Bill Curtis of C-N then follow-
ed with a decision over Lynn St.
Claire 6-2. Rob Nicolas put the
Scots back on to their winning
ways with a decision over Mc-
Millan 5-2, and George Schnit-
zer pinned Walker Moore in the
second period. Burnett was de-
cisioned 9-2, giving C-N three
more points. Van Pallis finished
off the Scot scoring with a de-
cision victory over Gary Page
2-0. Guinn decisioned Dodez 11-
2, and O'Brien was pinned with
14 seconds left in the second
period by Ken Young. The final

in First Public Forum
The meaning of the American form of government for the
world was summed up by experts on Europe, Latin America, and
Africa at the first of a series of public forums held at Maryville
College on Sunday afternoon February 12.
Three visiting scholars took part in the College-community
program sponsored as part of an American studies seminar made
possible by a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. The visiting
scholar under the Lilly grant for the first foruum was Dr. Gottfried
Dietze, Professor of Political Science at The John Hopkins Uni-
versity. Dr. Dietze, a native of Germany, summed up the American

Tuition Grants
Increased
An increase in the Maryville
College tuition grant program,
which pays part of the tuition at
the College for outstanding grad-
uates of area high schools, child-
ren of teachers in the public
schools in Blount County, and
children of ministers and mis-
sionaries, was announced recently
by President Joseph J. Copeland.
The increase is part of an ex-
panding program of student as-
sistance at Maryville, which in-
cludes not only the tuition grants,
but scholarships, long and short-
term loans, and a campus stu-
dent employment program.
With the increases, the top-
ranking graduate in each high
school in Blount, Knox, Loudon,
Monroe, and Sevier county will
now be eligible for a half -tuition
grant for each of the four years
at Maryville. The original pro
gram provided the half-tuition
grant for the freshman year only.
The only requirement is that the
student maintain a B average in
order to keep the grant.
Children of teachers in the city
and county schools in Blount
County are eligible for tuition
grants of $200 a year under the
new program, up $50 from the
previous $150 award. These
grants are made on the request
o fthe student and there are no
requirements other than that one
parent be a public school teacher
in the County or city system.
The grant to the children of
ministers and missionaries also
will be increased from $150 to
$200 a year. These are available
for the children of ministers and
missionaries of all denomina-
tions, and are available to the
student on request.
The tuition grants also include
$100 a year given on request to
any graduate of a Blount County
high school, and this program
will continue. Children of minist-
ers in the Synod of Mid-South
of the United Presbyterian
Church are also now eligible for

CDITCI2IAI- CUTLCCr
Now that the second semester is in full swing, it has become in-
creasingly apparent that a good number of students have been tak-
ing full advantage of the newly instated cut system. In fact, it even
appears that some students have hardly noticed that classes have yet
begun. Of course this phenomenon has not been confined to one
class — almost everyone from freshmen to seniors is now enjoying
the full benefits of his 2.5 average. No compulsory class attendance;
now I can cut that abhored class; why go, just cut; would I waste
my time in that class when I could be doing something constructive
like sleeping: thus sounds the repetoire of those "lucky" free-cutters.
However, as many have already discovered — and as many more
will soon find out — that the freedom to cut may mean the freedom
to flunk. When the administration saw fit to allow more freedom
in class attendance, they also felt that each student would have to
be more responsible for his attendance habits. But no one is going
to question the advisability of having optional class attendance —
especially for those students whose grades show that they are above
average. Most students who have that coveted 2.5 average, however,
have also realized that grade average did not come about by
cutting classes excessively, but freely — just ask someone whose
average dropped below the demarcation line to see if cutting classes
excessively did or did not contribute to the fatal plunge.
This is certainly no plea for every one to march off to class
every single period — that would be ridiculous, no doubt — but it is
hoped that some one will have enough insight to realize that going
to class regularly has some purpose (no doubt) and is not tlie
punishment handed down from headquarters to those who know
no better. If a student is so bright and intelligent that going to class
is just a waste of time, needless to say, he doesn't belong here.
******
Following up on the editorial in the last issue of the Highland
Echo, the problem of cheating on campus has become a favorite
topic for discussion. There have been, of course, many arguments
both for and against the reasons and prejudices about cheating. In
fact, the Student Council has responded by placing a questionaire
in the mailbox of every student and through a meeting of the
Academics Committee. Through these means it has been hoped
that something could be done about the problem on the Maryville
campus.
In Monday evening's forum of the February Meetings the same
question was brought up. Many were perhaps shocked to find that
cheating actually had some defenders. After all, they said, since
much emphasis is put upon grades and that final diploma, and
practically no emphasis upon what an education is really all about,
why not cheat?
Has American education — and education at Maryville College
no less — come to the place where a gradepoint average and a sheep-
skin represent "education." If it has, then it is time for this college
to close its doors.
Of course the student's standard argument is that the teacher
presents no challenge, so if he gets back on the exams what he wants,
the way that the student gives it back does not matter: neither
honesty nor cheating are of any consequence.
And then from the professor's point of view is the student who
wants something for nothing, which usually means cheating.
If the administration, faculty and students are to face up to
this problem, there must be a reasonable solution. When both stu-
dents and faculty are guilty of overt cheating, this could hardly be
called a conducive academic atmosphere.

Record To Tournament
The Maryville College wrestling team finished out their season
last Saturday night and are now participating in the SEC tournament
in Athens, Georgia. They took an 8-4 record with them. In the last
two weeks of their season, they faced five opponents and were
able to overcome two of them.
Against Sewanee the Scots won 19-14. Ralph Johnson got the
only pin, with only 35 esconds gone in the second period. Pritts
decisioned Lee Parker 5-1 ; Nicholas won over Bob Green 4-1 ;
Pallis trounced Ben Teasley 14-0; Dodez won 3-1 over John Lasley.
Pat O'Bryan and John Colby wrestled to a 2-2 tie.
The Scots faced rougher going against a tough Auburn squad.
Pritts, Johnson and Pallis got the only wins, all of them decision
victories, for the Scots. The final score of the match was 29-9 in
favor of Auburn. The next night against Emory, the Scots got their
revenge by winning 36-10. Ruhlin replaced captain Pritts at the 123
pound slot and won 12-8. Johnson got his second pin in three
matches, this one with 6 seconds gone in the third period. St. Clair
pinned his man with only 2 seconds remaining in the first period.
George Schnitzer decisioned Steve Schieldecker 6-3. Lynn Dodez
pinned his man at the buzzer ending the first period. Dauron,
Nicholas and Pallis won by forfeit to round out the Scot scoring.
Lgainst Appalachian State
Teacher's College in Boone,
North Carolina, a team that the
Scots have never beaten in the
history of the school, the Scots
went down to an insulting 39-3

WITH only seven memhers
(five lettermen) returning from
last year's record — setting squad,
this year's team is relying heavily
on a large freshman turnout. As-
sistant Coach Joe Malloy has
great expectations for this new
team. Although they lack the col-
legiate experience of the previous
year, their background and per-
formance record should rival that
of the past.
Once again, the Scots find
themselves strong in the track
events and spread rather thin in
the field events. Dick Craig, sec-
ond highest scorer on the team
for the last two years, repre-
sents the veterans of the dash
corps, helping to initiate fresh-
men Bob McEldowney, Alan Kil-
patrick, Dave Gamer, and Paul
Johnson into their own specialty.
In the middle distances Mary-
ville will go completely with new
personnel: Bryan Childes, Dave
(Baldy) Hollingsworth, Rick
Hughes, Darrell Smith, Joe
Baker, and John Dowling. If an
emergency arises, Cole Piper
may be borrowed from the discus
to run the 440 or the mile relay.
In the distances the Scots show
the most promise. Returnee Bill
Evaul is joined by Dave Wiley,
Ed Hawkey, Ross Hamory, and
Brian Childs. In the hurdles,
Maryville will rely on the sole
contribution of John Klein unless
someone else can be trained for
the event.
In the field events, Pat
O'Bryan, Cole Piper, Dean Clark,
Dan Styles, and John McLaugh-
lin head a field that is stronger
than last year but is still not as
strong as could be desired. The
jumping events are handled by
Dean Clark and John McLaugh-
lin, backed up by Alan Kilpat-
rick, Dave Garner, Steve Siera,
and Ralph McCampbell. Assistant
Coach Malloy may be pressed
into service if needed. Weight
events are the property of Pat
O'Bryan, Cole Piper, and Dan
Styles, with aid from John Foger-
ty, Wally Saz, Dean Bercaw,
Lynn Dodez, Steve Siera, and
Harold Griffith.
The schedule is not official
yet, but tentative meets have
been set up with David Libcomb
in Nashville, Emory in Atlanta,
Sewanee, and the TIAC in Cooke-
ville. Home-and-home meets are
also planned with Carson-New-
man, Milligan, Mars Hill, and
Bryan.

from the fine arts Center, with
the front entrance facing the Fine
Arts Center. This will permit the
main entrance to the campus to
be off Washington Ave., a major
highway between the Smokies
and ELast Tennessee cities and
towns.
Situating arts and sciences
facilities across from each other
will give the College a permanent
and lasting symbol as a true
liberal arts college dedicated to
quality teaching in both the arts
and sciences.
A lecture hall is being designed
with the building, although it
probably will not be built this
spring. A final feature of the
new unit will be a round green-
house at the rear, which will be
where the present tennis courts
are now situated beside Baldwin

On February 3, the Scots met Asheville-Biltmore in Asheville.
The Scots were able to stay with them for the first half (46-43),
but could not withstand the strong ABC offense and defense of the
second half 194-76). Bill Padgett put in 26 points, 16 in the
initial period but only 10 in the final one. Phil Bettis and Bruce
VanLeuven put in 10, Jack Llewellyn had 11. Others scoring for the
Scots were Payne with 6, Hancher with 7, Raby with 2 and Maxwell
with 4. In the rebound department, Jon Hancher and VanLeuven
both led the Scots with 6. For the opponents, Batsell had 39 points,
Vanmetre 15, Schuster 11, Lindley 10, Blakenship 9, McElhaney 6,
and Arrick 3. Arrick led the team with 13 rebounds. Agjieville—
Biltmore will be here Saturday to face the Scots in their last game of
the season.
The story was the same at Mars Hill the following night. The
first half was tight, 38-32. But Mars Hill was able to come on
a little stronger in the second half and emerge the victor 88-78.
Scot scoring was even, with four men hitting the double figures.
Llewellyn led the pointmakers with 17, Bettis and Padgett had 13,
Payne 11. Others scoring were Maxwell with 8, VanLeuven and
Hancher with 6, Raby with 2. Bettis led the Scots on the boards
as he pulled down 9 rebounds; Hancher came down with 7. For
the Lions Bob Gibson led with 21 points and 8 rebounds, his brother,
Bill Gibson had 14 points and 17 rebounds. Ray Randall scored
17 points. Everybody else on the team contributed small amounts
of points to the winning cause.
Against Bryan the Scots were were hosts to Tusculum College garne that
able to overturn their losing
story differendy. With the Scots
in control, he made a nerviously
bad double-dribble call on Lynn
Raby and gave the ball over to
Tusculum. They quickly scored
but with 10 seconds it looked like
the Scots could maybe do it any-
way. Nevertheless, with Padgett
shooting, and a Tusculum player
hanging on his back, the ref
looked the other way and let the
foul be ignored, and the game
went to Tusculum, 67-66. Padgett
led scorers with 33 points, and
rebounders with 9. Payne had
14 points, Hancher 9 (with 8
rebounds) . Maxwell had 4, Bettis
and Llewellyn 3. For the visitors,
Eschweiler led with 22 points
and 15 rebounds. Coats helped
out with 17 points. Deaton had
12 points (plus the disputed last
two) and 12 rebounds.

second time this month, the Scots

Curriculum Committee Announces
New Curriculum Proposals
In Ohapel this past Thursday
Dr. Blair and Dr. Shields made
public their proposals for the new
curriculum. The regular aca-
demic year will be divided into
four periods (ten weeks, four
weks, ten weeks, ten weeks) ; a
load of three to four courses will
be taken during the three ten-
wek periods, and the four-week
term will be devoted to various
types of special study. Two main
reasons were cited for the adop-
tion of the new calendar: 1. con-
ceritration on fewer courses at a
time yields better performance;
2. elimination of the "lame duck"
session between Christmas vaca-
tion and semester finals is de-
sirable. Dr. Blair pointed out
that this new schedule is the
direction in which more and
more colleges are moving, and
that "it will soon be the rule, not
the exception." This academic
calendar, it was mentioned, is
more-or-less in rhythm with the
quarter system of many schools.
Bible requirement changed
Concerning the curriculum it-
self, the most strategic changes
occur in the fields of science and
math. Dr. Shields pointed out
'hat the natural sciences, physics,
:jhemistry, and biology are at
present little more than repetition
of high school work. It will be
a primary purpose of the new
curriculum to present the sciences
on a more sophisticated level.
During the first term of the
freshman year, the development
of scientific thought and its in-
fluence on culture will be studied ;
in the last term of the first year
a comprehensive course in the
fundamentals of science will be
required of all freshmen in order
to give them a broad view of
science, which sems to be so
lacking in the present liberal arts
education at Maryville. After the
first year, further study in one
of the science fields will be con-
ducted on a topical basis. This
will streamline the study in the
major field, as all the courses in
that discipline will be revised and
correlated with one another.
Naturally, it will still be possible
for non-majors with the proper
prerequisites to take upper levd
science courses; but under the
new topical approach, there will
be an attempt to make each of
the fields of natural science more
suited to the upper class need for
specialization.
Foreign languages
The freshman Bible require-
ments will be replaced by a
specially designed philosophy
course called "Man's Search for
Meaning," which Dr. Swenson
and Dr. Cartlidge are working
on. This course will be designed
to assure the freshman that he is
in college. Questions to be dealt
with in this course are typified
by the following: "Who am I?
Where did I come from? Why
am I here? Where am I going?"
Other faculty and upper class-
men will have opportunities to
take part in discussion groups
related to this course.
Under the new curriculum a
freshman will be able to satisfy
his foreign language requirement
by simply passing a comprehen-
sive test, desgned to measure pro-
ficiency in that language after
two years of college study.
"Non- Western" studies
Also given in the freshman
year will be two terms of Western
World History" and "Western
World Literature." There is much
planning at the present to co-
ordinate these two courses in

Playhouse Presents Jean
Anouilh's Becket
The dramatic story of the betrayed friendship between Thomas-
a-Becket and Henry II of England was retold in the modern
play "Becket" presented by the Maryville College Playhouse March
10 and 11.
William Beasley and Jon Lutz co-starred as the roistering
king and the crony he appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in the
year 1162, only to have the Archbishop murdered for his unexpected
opposition in the church office. •
The melodramatic and political
aspects of this tjJe were first
made into a play by Alfred, Lord
Tennyson. A second famous play
using the same famous feud is
T.S. Eliot's "Murder in the
Cathedral," first produced in
1935.
The ironically witty version
presented at Maryville is the
work of the French playwright
Jean Anouilh. A huge success in
Paris in 1959, this "Becket" be-
came an outstanding hit in New
York the following year in an
English translation. Sir Laurence

Disscussion Groups Plann&i
What kind of an animal is an
"interim"? Is 10-4-10-10 a new
Anderson Hall security code? If
you are interested in the answers
to these two provocative ques-
tions, or if the new curriculum
stimulates, intrigues, or confuses
you, then plan to attend one of
the discussion groups on the new
curriculum from Monday, March
20th through Thursday, March
23rd in the Fine Arts Center
Lounge. The discussions, spon-
sored by the student council
academic committee, will be very
informal and will give you the
opportunity to question or com-
ment about any aspect of the
new curriculum. Several mem-
bers of the curriculum commit-
tee, along with Dr. Carolyn Blair
and Dr. Randolph Shields, will
be present at each of the after-
noon meetings to answer ques-
tions and clarify misunderstood
parts of the new curriculum.
Check posters for specific times.
All of us will be affected by the
new curriculum; thus, it seems
pertinent and necessary that we
try to comprehend the changes
involved and our role in these
changes. Even if you can not
stay very long, feel free to drop
by for a few minutes and unveil
your questions about the new
curriculum.
1967 "Building
Year" for Debate
With the State Tournament al-
ready behind them (Feb. 9-11),
Debate Team members can relax
somewhat from a strenuous com-
petition schedule that has in-
cluded over a half-dozen major
contests. Several meets, though,
including the National Tourna-
ment in Wisconsin, have been
slated for this spring.
Maryville's squad last com-
peted at Memphis State Uni-
versity two weeks ago. Battling
against such top contenders as
the Universities of Arkansas, of
Alabama, of Kentucky, and of
St. Louis proved stimulating, re-
ported one veteran. Thoughout
all the tourneys this year, Mary-
ville has consistently reached the
final rounds, especially in in-
dividual events. "This has been
a building year," said Steve
Homing. "We have by now
analyzed our league competition.
If eager, capable students try out
next fall, they will have working
for them accumulated insight
that wins trophies in collegiate
forensics."
This year's topic — "Resolved :
that the United States should sub-
stantially reduce its foreign
policy commitments" — has been
hoth challenging and frustrating.
It is — to debaters swamped by
thousands of official pronounce-
ments from our Foggy Bottom
State Department — an absurdly
broad resolution. On the other
hand, teams promoting a highly
specific Alliance for Progress

Two Maryville College Seniors
Awarded Woodrow Wilson
Fellowships
On Wednesday, in Chapel,
Lois Huffines and Marilyn Ran-
kin were presented certificates
and honored as winners of this
year's Woodrow Wilson Fellow-
ship. Both girls are seniors. Lois
is a German major from Folsom,
Pennsylvania, and Marilyn is an
English major from Nashville,
Tennessee.
In additition to the two fellow-
ship winners, Ruth Bates, a
French major from Follansbee,
West Virginia, also received
Honorable Mention.
The Woodrow Wilson Fellow-
ship is awarded each year to
graduating seniors who show out-
standing ability and scholarship
for future college teaching. All
three students were nominated by
their major advisors £Uid had all
necessary credentials presented
to the Foundation committee.
Those selected by the committee
were then given an interview
with the committee and were then
chosen for the awards. The
Fellowship provides for a stipend
of $2000 in addition to the pay-
ment of all tuition and fees at
the graduate school of the stu-
dent's choice.
"Maryville College Days"
Resumed In Community
Maryville College Days, the annual solicitation of funds from
the local community for Maryville College, began March 13
under the leadership of the General Chairman, Dr. James Proffitt,
of Maryville. The program is being resumed after a three year
suspension during the Development Fund Campaign. The week-long
campaign, for $50,000, is designed to point out how the College
serves the community and how the community can help the CoUege.
The theme is "Partners in Progress."
Goal funds itemised
The College, in seeking sup-
port from the community, is
documenting its case through a
planned program of information
designed to show the many ways
the College and the community
aid and serve each other. A kick-
off breakfast of coffee and

Program
Dr. Fred A. Griffitts, Profe*
sor of Chemistry and Chairman
of the Department of Chemistry
at Maryville College, traveled to
Atlanta, Ga., recently, where he
served as Chairman of a National
Science Foundation Panel.
TTie assignment had to do with
the evaluation of proposals sub-
mitted by colleges and uni-
versities requesting that the NSF
provide partial funds for the pur-
chase of scientific equipment.
Maryville College has been a re-
cipient of funds from this source
several times in recent years.

EDITCI2IAL CLTLCCr
After hearing the proposals of the curriculum committee in
chapel, one can hardly keep from being excited about the new cur-
riculum with all its many changes and improvements. Many an
upperclassman feels that it is too bad that those changes did not
come two or three years earlier. The committee, faculty, and ad-
ministration should be complimented for their ability to adjust the
curriculum to the rising standards of American education today.
As Dr. Shields pointed out, no one should ever be completely satis-
fied with the new curriculum — in fact, there must be constant
revision and adaptation if the liberal arts program of Maryville
College is to succeed.
One of the most exciting and challenging parts of the new cur-
riculum is the reducing of the number of courses carried each term
and the addition of concentration in each field. Many have long
felt the disadvantages of trying to learn a lot about five or six
subjects (all that can happen is a slight skimming of the course
material, at best) and have preferred to spend more time and more
effort on fewer courses with a higher degree of concentration. The
courses to be offered — such as history, science, philosophy, and
literature — will provide a much better background for college work
than many of the outmoded, outdated and farcical courses that have
appeared in the past.
One of the most apparent problems of this new curriculum,
however, is its obvious slant toward the "broad" liberal arts educa-
tion. It is undoubtedly fine for those who have the time or the
effort or the resources to spend preparing for graduate school or
other pursuits. However, it is hoped — and believed — that the college
will not, and cannot, allow the new curriculum to become artificial
and pedantic with actual practical preparation suffering.
This of course leads to the most dangerous problem. This new
curriculum, while not requiring the so-called "cream of the crop"
students- -ant/ faculty — will make great demands on the student and
faculty member. This could prove to be disastrous. If many faculty
members continue at the same pace that they have been going, not
only will the new curriculum fail but this college will be forced to
lock up. A learning experience does not result from a professor's
use of notes that are so yellow with age that they are disintegrating,
or lecture material that he has been using for the last forty years,
or preparation made on the way to class (or no preparation at all),
nor from students cheating. Both faculty and students are going to
have to make this new curriculum work. A new catalogue and
calendar will not make Maryville College the A-1 liberal arts college
it wants to be.
Things are looking bright . . .
The Freshmen Niche
by The Publicity Committee
A hearty thanks is extended to all who helped make "A Village
Happening" such a success. The Dance (Committee, headed by John
Ribble, put in long hours in preparation of elaborate decorations,
then enjoyed the excited appreciation of its creation by those who
participated Saturday night. The careful work of the Ticket Com-
mittee, chaired by Alice Weber, is also acknowledged.
The Orientation and Constitution Committee has already met
and begun collecting practical suggestions for next year's freshmen.
It is also formulating much-needed by-laws for the Class of Seventy
(1970, that is). Additional committeemen are still welcomed;

Dear Editor:
Last Tuesday as I arrived at
my chapel seat, I was confronted
by a small blue card. The first
thing I saw was a dollar sign and
the plea for money. "Another
one. It seems they always want
more money," with this thought
I simply put it aside, using it
to mark the first hymn. However,
after hearing the exciting plans
that had been made for the
money, I became excited. But,
alas, I seemed to be a minority
of one. Everyone else seemed to
be numb to the idea that had
been presented. This numbness,
or perhaps apathy, seems to have
been underscored because, first
there has been no further men-
tion of the project, only a lonely
poster outside the Bookstore.
Also, no one has come around
to investigate the pledges. Thus,
I have come to the conclusion
that either the idea is merely a
wild dream or, in blunt terms,
a fake. Yet how can this be when
I see pictures of honey things
called children and a barren land
that is supposed to feed them?
Perhaps I am merely a naive
freshman to believe that this
Famine Project is something to
get excited about. Is the student
body of this college uninterested
in the problems of the world and
so tied up 'here' that it can't
or won't do anything? I truly
hope not! Here is a chance for
a group of young Americans,
i.e. the student body, to be per-
sonally involved through Dr.
Rugh and two students, in meet-
ing a need. Maybe the need is
huge and our efforts seem futile,
yet maybe we must start in a
small way to solve the big prob-
lems.
Thank you for letting me air
my views.
Sincerely,
Lynne Taylor

And, if perchance we do give a damn, we don't really want to do

Oh, you mean someone died in Viet Nam today? People really

at Maryville College are actively
concerned with what is happen-
ing in India and Asia at large.
The larger portion of the three
thousand dollars to be raised is
going for the improvement and
maintaince of water wells in
northern India. This project is
aimed at diminishing the present
drought conditions and at reduc-
ing the impact of drought in the
future. Dr. Donald Rugh, a
faternal worker of the Church in
India, will administer the pro-
ject.
But more than just money,
Maryville College is also sending
the embodiment of its concern in
the persons of two of our own
students, Jim Reynolds and Al
Keim. These two students have
volunteered to woiit in the
Francis Newton Hospital at Fer-
rozepore, India in the Punjab.
Part of the money collected this
year will be used to help defray
the expenses incured by them in
travel. In these two representa-
tives Maryville College will be
personally involved in the life
of India, and on their return
India will become a more live
reality to the College through
them.
Contributions are now under-
way. The students, the faculty,
and all campus organizations are
all being asked to give what they
feel they can. The need is ob-
vious and immediate, but the re-
sponse is still up to you.

CURRICULUM
cont'd from p. 1, col. 2
order to make them more mean-
ingful.
In the first term of the sopho-
more year a course in "Fine Arts
Media and Forms" will be re-
quired. This course is a sort of
"package deal" — a combina-
tion of study in the fields of art,
music, and drama. Tlie focus
wll be not on history, but rather
on the modes of expression and
on the appreciation of the fine
arts.
An outstanding innovation in
the junior year will be the course
in "Non-Western Studies," a
study of the history and culture
of the near and far E^st. The
present Independent Study pro-
gram, which begins in the jun-
ior year, will be kept largely in-
tact.
Interim period
TTie feeling toward independent
study in the new curriculum, in
fact, is not only to maintain the
program ihat we now have, but
to expand and strengthen it. With
this purpose in mind, the Cur-
riculum Committee designed the
four- week period in the new
calendar for more individual
study. In the freshman year this
period would be devoted to a
study of research methods and
application; in the sophomore
year it would be devoted to a
"Sophomore Project," indepen-
dent study in a field or topic of
special interest; in the junior
year, likewise, a "Junior Pro-
ject" would be carried on (note
that this will remain separate
from the regular Independent
Study program, which will be
conducted as a part of the re-
gular curriculum studied in the
ten-week periods of the late jun-
ior and early senior years). In
the senior year a seminar in the
major field will be held during
the four- week period ; in addition.

a special "Social Science Semi-
nar" will he required of all seni-
ors during the last two ten -week
terms. This course will be de-
signed to provide a correlation
between the academic fields of
the various majors and applica-
tion of knowledge in the contem-
porary world.
It is a key purpose of the new
curriculum to make the four-
week interim period one of uni-
que change-of-pace from the re-
gular ten-week terms of study.
For this reason, plans for travel
during this period are being con-
sidered. Dr. Parker and Dr.
Davis are already looking into
the possibility for a trip through
New England and the East coast;
Dr. Shields is considering a sci-
ence study camp in Florida; and
Dr. Blair and Dr. Walker have
been heard plotting, quite
naturally, about a trip to Eng-
land. To enhance the possibilities
for making this interim period a
unique and unusual educational
experience, the Committee en-
courages students to submit ideas
to the head of their department,
or to Dr. Parker, who is in
charge of planning the use of
this four- week term.
4 years to complete program
A new approach to chapel is
also hoped for under the new
curriculum. There will be an ef-
fort to get away from the pre-
sent system of speaker selection,
and to correlate the morning de-
votions more closely with aca-
demic study. Plans call for a
convocation in the middle of Fri-
day morning with a religious-
intellectual emphasis. A guest
speaker, hopefully from the vari-
ous disciplines of study, would
be present each week.
Concerning schedule, classes
under the new curriculum will
be seventy minutes. There will
probably be five periods a day
ending by 3:40 in the afternoon.
There will also be an evening
period in the new schedule.
Registration this spring, it was
pointed out, will be for the whole
year, 1967-68; but fees will still
be paid in two sums.
It should be noted that the
proposed curriculum program
will not take complete effect until
next year's freshman class are
seniors. The transition to this
new program, in other words,
will be a graduated process,
which next year's freshmen will
be the first to carry through in
its entirety.
For Scholar-Athletes
New Financial
Aid Program
Is Announced
A program of financial assist-
ance to scholar- athletes beginning
in 1967 was announced by Mary-
ville President Dr. Joseph J.
Copeland.
tinder the program, set up
with the same standards as the
Honaker Memorial Scholarships,
the College will provide $5,000
on an annual basis for scholar-
athletes. The Honaker Club plan
provides for a permanent endow-
ment fund, with a minimum of
$25,000 to be raised by the Club
before this plan is activated.
Once activated, $1,(X)0 per year,
representing the interest from
the investment of the $25,000 in
permanent funds, will be made
available to scholar-athletes.
Scholarships granted under the
program will go to outstanding
scholar-athletes who have a 2.6
average in high school and who
maintain a 2.6 average in Col-
lege. In addition, recipients must
have a score of at least 24 on
the ACT college admissions test,
or a combined score of 1050 or
the tests of the College Entrance
Examination Board.
Fundamental in the design of
this new curriculum, as stressed
repeatedly by Dr. Blair and Dr.
Shields, is the aim to give more
responsibility to students. An-
other important feature of the
program is its built-in flexibility.
Realizing the necessity for change
and constant revision, the Com-
mittee has provided on alterable
curriculum plan, which should
not require another complete
overhaul, at least in the foresee-
able future.
Discussion groups concerning
the new curriculum proposals
will be held next week. All stu-
dents are urged to participate.
Feel free at any time, further-
more, to ask Dr. Blair or Dr.
Shields any questions concern-
ing the curriculum changes.

Alcoa Foundation Gives
Grants to College
Maryville College has received
an unrestricted grant of $2,400
from the Alcoa Foundlation, Dr.
Joseph Copeland, College presi-
dent, announced recently, lliis is
in addition to the share the Col-
lege receives from the Affiliated
Colleges of Tennessee, Inc., to
which the Alcoa Foundation con-
tributes each year.
The check was presented to
Bill Fleming, College Develop-
ment Officer, by Alcoa's Tennes-
see Operations Manager N. B.
Lane, who represented the
Foundation.
Previous granH given
The unrestricted grants will be
used for the improvement of
facilities and to help defray ris-
ing administrative costs, said Dr.
Copeland.
The Alcoa Foundation pre-
viously granted Maryville Col-
lege $100,000 to apply toward the
construction of a new science
building for which ground will
be broken this summer.
The Foundation's program of
aid to independent colleges is
now in its twelfth year. During
this time Maryville College has
received approximately $17,000
in grants from the Alcoa Founda-
tion.
"Independent colleges like
Maryville have been of major
importance in strengthening the
educational program of our na-
tion," said Mr. Lane. "They are
especially influential in provid-
ing close, individual attention
and developing moral and cul-
tural concepts in the minds of
young students. The Alcoa
Foundation is pleased to assist in
these efforts."
Scholarship grants
These grants come at a time
when Maryville College needs
financial assistance in meeting
its everyday operational costs as
well as making plans for the
future. Dr. Copeland said. "We
are especially grateful to Alcoa
and the Alcoa Foundation for all
that they have done, and are
doing, to encourage the small,
independent college to continue
its individual efforts in the realm
of education. With help from
great, private foundations like
this, Maryville College can con-
tinue to look to the future with
new confidence to meet the in-
creasing demands confronting
us.
Maryville College has also re-
ceived a grant from the Alcoa
Foundation to sponsor three
scholarships of $750 each for a
freshman, spohomore, and jun-
ior in the College during the
1967-1968 school year.
In addition, the Foundation
awarded the College an unre-
stricted grant of $750 to be used
to help defray rising administra-
tive costs and for the improve-
ment of facilities, as needed.
Top students honored
The announcement was made
jointly by Dr. Joseph Copeland,
Maryville College president, and
Tennessee Operations Manager
N. B. Lane, who represented the
Foundation.
The scholarships are planned
to recognize one of the top five
students from each of the three
classes, freshman, sophomore and
junior, who display scholarly

Jeremy Clyde, blend thoughtfully
with vibrant personality, tremen-
dous wit and loads of talent; the
result is the fresh and exciting
sound of Chad and Jeremy. The
boys make their mark with their
very first release, entitled "Yes-
terday's Gone," followed with "A
Summer Song" and "Willow
Weep For Me," which im-
mediately soared to the top of the
charts. They met four years
ago at drama school, start-
ed discussing music, and found
their views and voices com-
patible. Hence, the birth of Chad
and Jeremy.
Chad Stuart was born Decem-
ber 10, in Windemere, Elngland.
He is 5'11" and 165 pounds of
charming Englishman. His
elementary education was obtain-
ed at Durham Cathedral school,
where at nine he learned to read
and write music, and after which
he attended the Sorbonne in
Paris. With the completion of
his formal education, Chad en-
rolled at the Central School of
Speech and Drama, which not
only brought him a profound
knowledge of the arts, but a wife,
Jill, also in attendance, as well.
After leaving drama school,
Chad worked as a sales-man in
a department store, a clerk in
a record shop and finally a jun-
ior arranger with a music-
publishing firm. While with the
publishers, he wrote "Yesterday's
Gone," but no one wanted to
record it. It wasn't until he met
Jeremy, and they started singing
in a coffeehouse, that they were
heard by a recording executive.
He liked their style and had them
record Chad's song.
For relaxation, Chad finds
painting and sculpturing to his
liking. He owns a canoe which
his wife and he use whenever
possible. Another pastime that

"Maryville College Days"
Prepare for Future Expansiou
Total contributions for "Mary-
ville College Days" have now
reached $28,189, according to
Director of Development Bill A.
Fleming, with further reports
still to be received from workers
and leaders. Maryville College
Days were held March 13-17 un-
der the leadership of the General
Chairman, Dr. James Proffitt.
Reports show that in the Ad-
vanced Gifts category there is
$18,125 in cash and pledges. The
Honaker Club total is $4,255,
Business and Professional con-
tributions $3,640, and Alumni
and friends $2,169.
Additional reports on the
Maryville College Days campaign
will be made as reports are com-
pleted, Mr. Fleming said.
With the major effort for
Maryville College Days com-
pleted, the College is looking to
the future with carefully made
plans to carry through the 150th
anniversary in 1 969-70 and
beyond.
Expansion of both facilties and
the student body, is being
achieved at Maryville College as
part of a carefully thought-out
program. While all of the details
are not yet filled in, the general
outlines are clear, and the en-
rollment and financial figures are
being projected realistically.
In enrollment, the College is
planning for a student body of
1,075 in 1969-70, an increase of
about 200 from the present 882.
In order to accommodate ade-
quately this number of students,
the Board of Directors and Col-
lege administrative officials are
planning a completely modern
and up-to-date physical plant.
Much of the planning has al-
ready taken shape — most recently
in the three new residence halls
and currendy in the design for
a new science building for which
ground is to be broken this
spring or early summer. How-
ever, additional plarming looks
to the future for new buildings
and an attractively designed cam-
pus.
The Board of Directors last
fall authorized the preparation of
a campus master plan to fix the
sites for new buildings projected
for completion by the end of the
Sesquicentennial year. This
master plan will include:

Grant Approved for New Physical
Education Center
The Tennessee Higher Educa-
tion Facilities Commission has
approved a $490,000 Federal
grant for Maryville College for
construction of a new health and
physical education building, it
was announced 29 March in
Nashville.
The grant is for the full
amount sought by the College,
Director of Development Bill A.
Fleming said. It is about one-
fourth of the projected total cost
of $1,950,000.
The new building will replace
all of the current physical edu-
cation facilities, which include
Bartlett Hall, and the frame
Alumni Gymnasium and Intra-
mural Gymnasium, plus the
swimming pool. Under tentative
plans already drawn, the new
building will have a total area of
80,000 square feet.
It will contain a gymnasium
with related rooms for offices
and classrooms, smaller exercise
rooms, four handball courts, and
a new indoor swimming pool.
The present indoor pool would be
kept and converted to an outdoor
pool.
Under the terms of the grant
the College must begin construc-
tion of the building within two
years. The remainder of the
funds must come from Alumni
and friends, Fleming explained.
"This new building is part of
the further extension of the Col-
lege's Sesquicentennial goals,"
Fleming said. This building and
provision for a new . student
center are major targets before
1969-70 when the College will
have a completely modern and
up-to-date plant to serve the needs
of a projected enrollment of
1,075 students.
"I'his accomplishment will re-
sult in the elimination from the
campus of all the temporary
frame buildings, some of which
were acquired after World War
II," Fleming concluded.
Summer Session
Courses
Announced

Letter to the The Highland Echo EDITCI^IAL CLTLCCr
Editor
Dear Editor,
The following letter is another
parody on frogs. Any resem-
blance to the Sig skit "Mudville
College" is purely intentional, al-
though I sincerely hope that this
interpretation will be in much
better taste and will not smack of
odious travesty {or in other
words-stink) as certain parts of
the skit presented on last Satur-
day night did. I am fully aware
that most of the Sigs who were
not in the skit and some who
were in it had nothing to do with
the grossly obnoxious parts and,
perhaps, even objected to them.
/Nonetheless, it still reeked.
Once upon a time there was
a little liberal arts frog pond
that had all types of frogs in it.
Like all other frog ponds, this
pond at times verged on stagna-
tion, and all the little and big
frogs would begin to croak when
they got unhappy. Some of the
frogs would try to solve the
stagnation problem by unstop-
ping clogged drains, by looking
for new courses lof food, and by
cleaning up the dead leaves and
twigs that were in the pond. But
there was always a group of frogs
who just sat around and croaked
constantly. They never tried to
find out why the pool was be-
ginning to stink and how they
could help stop the stagnation;
they just sat on their royal

haunches, croaking and bellow-

their own food! They'd just wait
until the other frogs came back
with flies and bugs and steal
from them. Sometimes they were
able to find a big bull frog who
would help, them find easy ways
to catch food.
Then one day the keeper of
the frog pond discovered what
the "croakers" were doing, real-
ized that they weren't contribut-
ing anything to the pond, or
keeping up with the standards
that had been set for all the frogs
and decided to clean them out of
the frog pond. Finally, the keep-
er of the pond realized that the

improvement may be taken by
anyone who wants to improve his
reading speed and compre-
hension. These courses, plus a
class lesson in piano which is to
be offered, carry no college
credit. The courses may be taken
separately or in any combination,
although it is recommended that
all three be taken as a unit for
a thorough grounding in basic
subject matter and study skills.
The Orientation to College
Study is a course designed es-
pecially to teach the student how
to study in college. Emphasis will

Reflection on Viet Nam
Why should you worry or give a damn
About what happens in Viet Nam?
Why is it any of your concern
If men and women and children burn?
Only a pacifist, saint or fool
Believes in stuff like the Golden Rule . . .
You know the answer — you know it well —
"This is a war and war is hell!"
Yes, war is hell for the men that fight,
Pawns on a chessboard, brown and white:
War is death in a sea of mud
To the sound of bullets and stench of blood :
War is madness told as the truth,
Torturing women and crippling youth . . .
But you know the answer — you know it well —
"This is a war and war is hell!"
Try to project what your thoughts would be
If you left your home as a refugee:
Try to imagine the sense of fear
When the napalm scatters and flames appear . . .
What kind of feelings would it inspire
If you watched a child with its flesh on fire?
Could you find words for the pilots above
Who boast about morals and Christian love?
War is a gamble played with Fate
Where the stakes are high and the hour is late:
War is the writing seen on the wall
Which threatens to come and engulf us all . ^ .
It's time to worry and time to care.
It's time to pity and time to share;
It's time to consider the Human Race
And see ourselves in the other man's place.

The Freshmen Niche
by The Publicity Committ««
The final sprint of our fresh-
man year will be celebrated with
several extravaganzas sponsored
by Your Class.
The first of these, of course, is
the triple-feature night of April
22. "Unicom in the Garden," a
short feature of a whimsical vein,
will introduce our program.
Leaping onto the schedule at
eight-thirty, the true Wizard of
Escape Ron Kolb exhibits his
artistry again in a rarely-seen
duel with danger. Your Class is
grateful for the opportunity to
present such an incredible talent
to an appreciative audience.
Artistry of another sort will
follow in that evening's movie
feature, "Under the Yum-Yum
Tree." Planned admission is
seventy-five cents, fifty cents for
dues-paying freshmen. Remem-
ber, you must possess an official
verification of your dues status.
Response to this first venture
will in part determine frosh ad-
ventures to follow. A mountain
outing is planned, and on-cam-
pus action is in the offing.
If you have not received your
dues verification, check soon with
Treasurer Dick Mara or your re-
presentatives for the reason.

Lampblack of night clotted the sky-lens

Then, stung by lightning, large rain
rinsed it all away.
Dark ran in runnels down the streets

smiled, and was.

musician in the true sense of the
word. He plays piano, organ,
guitar, lute, mandolin, harmoni-
ca, violin, trumpet and the flute.
Sailing, tennis and ice skating
take care of his outside activities.
Jeremy Clyde was born on
March 22 in Buckinghamshire,
England. His modesty often hides
the fact that he is the grandson
of the Duke of Wellington.
Jeremy is a six-footer weighing
1 40 pounds. According to
Jeremy, his eyes are blue and
beautiful — according to all that
know him, he is polished, talented
and has a sharp sense of humor.
Jeremy received his elementary
education at Ludgrove Prepara-
tory School and Eton. He con-
tinued at the University of
Grenoble in France. After grad-
uating from Grenoble he too en-
rolled at the Central School of
Speech and Drama. Upon leav-
ing Central, Jeremy went to work
as an actor. He appeared in such
productions as "Hamlet," "The
Miser," "A Man for All Seasons"
and "Roots" in the Regents Park
and Dundee Theatres.
Jeremy dislikes getting up
early in the morning, but he very
much likes girls and clothing and
girls, and girls, and girls, and
an occasional motion picture —
if there are girls in it. He is an
avid reader preferring the works
of Ray Bradbury and William
Shakespeare. He also likes rid-
ing, tennis and swimming.
Chad and Jeremy enjoy their
work and doubly enjoy working
together. They both feel very
strongly about their careers and
are not afraid to add those extra
hours of rehearsal. This, how-
ever, is apparent from the
moment they begin to perform.

Princeton Chamber
Orchestra
The Princeton Chamber Orchestra under the direction of
Nicholas Harsanyi will present the final program in tiie Maryville
College-Community Artists Series Friday, April 14, at 8:15 p.m. in
the Chapel. Janice Harsanyi, who has previously sung at Maryville
College, will sing several selections with the orchestra.
Acclaimed as one of the finest orchestras of its kind by leading
musicians, the press, and the public, the orchestra will demonstrate
the qualities that have carried this brilliant addition to America's
roster of great orchestras to its position of eminence.
The players are hand-picked
instrumentalists, many of them
soloists in their own right. They
have played as members of lead-
ing symphony orchestras and
chamber music ensembles.
The orchestra plays a wide re-
pertoire of music drawn from all
eras, under the direction of its
Hungarian-born conductor. The
program at Maryville College in-
cludes Vivaldi's "Concerto in A
Major for String Orchestra," and
ten of Benjamin Britten's selec-
tions called "Les Illuminations."
Dvorak's "Serenade for Strings,
Ofpus 22," will close the pro-
gram.
Miss Harsanyi, was soloist at
Maryville College with the Mary-

The baseball team, with a 28
game schedule, played 3 games
before the spring vacation, los-
ing the first two and then com-
ing from behind to win the third.
Anderson College, whose baseball
coach is the former Dodger great
Carl Erskine, put down the Scots
by a score of 9-3. Jim Moore was
the losing pitcher. In the second
game, Toledo came on strong in
the last innings and beat the
Scots and Jim Backus 9-5. The
Scots were able to put down
Hillsdale 9-4 despite a three run
first inning by the visitors. Jim
Moore, showing good control on
the mound, won his own game
with 5 RBI's on a triple and a
single.
The team shows more talent
than ,last year's winning team.
John Agnew at first is an ex-
cellent defensive player, His
batting has been sparodic but he
has gotten some key hits,
especially in the Toledo game.
Backing him up is Macy, a fresh-
man who shows great ability and
adds depth to the infield. At
second, Dave Maxwell got off to
a slow start but has been im-
proving with every game. At
short is Don Payne. Also a slow
starter, he showed good form in
the Hillsdale game as his field-
ing improved and his batting be-
came more consistant. At third
Bob Nicholas, one of last year's
leading batters, seems destined
to repeat with another good year
at the plate. He is a "lucky"
fielder who always seems to come
up with the play.
The outfield is loaded with
talent. Junior Maietta is in left.
The "Maury Wills" of the Scots
is proving to be once again a
terror both on the base paths and
in the field. In center field one
of the three seniors on the team,
Wiley Webb, is the best fielder
on the Maryville team. Outstand-
ing defensively, his batting is
also more than adequate. In right
field is the brightest light of the
new players. Lynn Dildine is, at
the present time, the leading
batter on the team, filling the
void left by Sonny Hughes.
Pitching is probably the Scots
strongest position. Displaying
much more depth than last year's
team, the Maryville pitching
should win many of the close
games. Jim Backus, the leading
right-hander is a good pitcher
with excellent control. With a
few of the breaks going his way
he should have better luck next
time out. Tlie leading left-hander
is none other than Jack "Crook"
Llewellyn. The second of the
three seniors is a most deceptive
pitcher with three speeds: a slow
ball, a slower ball, and an even
slower ball. To back these three
speeds up, Jack has the best con-
trol on the team. To complement
him, right-handed Jim Moore dis-
plays the same control and de-
ception. His record already
stands at 1-1, and he was sche-
duled to start the LMU game
last Thursday. In the role of re-
lief pitching, Maryville's Fireball
VanLeuven is without equal.
With good speed and a ver)
good curve ball, Van Leuven has
looked very impressive in his
relief jobs, not having given up
a hit as of yet.
Behind the plate the Scots once
again are loaded with talent.
Frank Gready, the third of the
seniors, has filled very adequate-
ly the spot vacated by Sonny
Hughes. He is the better of the
two catchers defensively, but his
hitting could improve. On the
base paths he displays unusually
good speed for a catcher. Back-
ing him up is Freshman Dwight
Regan who has looked especially
goood at the bat. He is an ex-
cellent prospect who should see
plenty of action this year.

The Tennis team, in what
could be termed a rebuilding
year, faced two opponents before
the spring holidays and fell to
both by a score of 8-1 . Their first
opponent was Ohio Wesleyan,
and Maryville's only victory was
recorded by Al Marshall. In the
match against Mars Hill, the
only victory was scored by the
first doubles team of Pete Park
and Al Marshall. The team is
made up of new players built
around the veteran core of Park
and Marshall. In the number one
position is Peter Park, followed
by Marshall in the second spot.
Third position is filled by Becky
Sankner, who saw limited action
last year. Number four man is
Gary Dauron. Hugh Robinson is
the number five man and an-
other female member. Penny
Blackwood rounds out the rest of
the team. In the doubles posi-
tions, Park and Marshall are the
first team, Sanckner and Robin-
son are the second team with
Dauron and Blackwood in the
third spot. The make-up of the
last two doubles teams will
change, it has been reported, as
Coach Kardatzke is still experi-
mening to find a winning com-
bination.

of Jonathan Gresham, is now on
its annual spring tour in Ohio
after opening with a concert in
the Everett High School at Mary-
ville April 27.
The 66 members of the touring
band left Maryville April 80 for
scheduled appearances in the
Cincinnati and southern Ohio
area. The program will be play-
ed for the band's Spring Concert
on the campus May 20. On the
tour, the band is appearing in
their colorful Scots uniforms,
with the women wearing import-
ed kilts and the men in the uni-
form of the Royal Scots Guards.
The band includes four pipers
who play the original bagpipe
music which adds to the Scots
tradition of the Maryville band.

tured 2 first place trophies, 1
second, and 1 third, as well as
a speaker award in Debate and
a special Novice Debate trophy.
In the Oral Interpretation con-
test, Stevan Horning placed first
with his reading of Gregory
Corso's "Marriage." In the After
Dinner Speaking contest" Penny
Proffitt placed first with her
humorous speech, "The Great
Society." Placing third in Ora-
tory was Alice Barton, with "We
Just Don't Care Enough." All
of these were performed before
a large audience, following pre-
vious contests to select the final-
ists. Also giving an impressive
performance in the finals of the
Oratory division was Wayne
Patterson, whose speech "Gun
Crazy," was rated fourth follow-
ing Miss Barton.
Facing very stiff competition
in the Extemporaneous Speak-
ing Division finals, Ray Phillippi
brought home the 2nd place
trophy and a Superior rating for
his speech on "Stokley Car-
michael." In this division, the
topic is drawn by the contestant
30 minutes before the scheduled
time to speak. In the Impromptu
division, where the topic is drawn
immediately before speaking,
Sandra Graham won her pre-

In a special chapel service this morning, the IVbY Lhilhowean staff paid tribute to Dean Frank D.
McClelland for his 30 years of outstanding service to Maryville College. It has been the policy at Mary-
ville to dedicate the yearbook only on those rare occasions when the staff agrees upon one whose
role in the life of the College makes him an inevitable choice. After a long period without a dedica-
tion, two have come in consecutive years. The 1966 Chilhowean was dedicated to Dr. E. R. Hunter.
Dr. McClelland came to Maryville in 1937 after serving as president of Pikeville College in Ken-
tucky. At Maryville he served as dean of students with an interruption for duty during World War
II. In a reorganization in 1957 he wa>s promoted to the academic deanship, a post that he has filled
with distinction. His strong leadership has been particularly evident in the planning and implemen-
tation of the new curriculum.
Meta Robinson, editor of the Chilhowean, made the presentation and read from the final para-
graph of the dedication: ""Although he has received many honors during his lifetime, including a cita-
tion for galluntry in action during World War I, we feel it fitting to add one more, which might
also be called a citation for gallantry in action — this time on the academic front. To Dr. Frank D.
McClelland, whose wisdom has guided us, whose faith has given us courage, and whose sincerity has
made us believe in him — and in ourselves, we dedicate the 1967 Chilhowean."
Also honored during the chapel program were Marilyn Rankin and John Mulholland, chosen by
the staff for the coveted awards of Woman and Man of the Year. Merry Burlingham, business
manager of the Chilhowean, made the announcement and presented them with complimentary copies
of the yearbook.
Gayle Walker, honors editor of the Chilhowean, led the worship service.
New Curriculum
To Be Studied
Further
The U. S. Office of Education
last week announced a grant of
$79,500 to Maryville College un-
der the Higher Eduaction Act of
1965 to aid the College in a
program to put into effect the
College's new curriculum and to
provide for further study by
members of the faculty.
The University of Tennessee
will be a cooperating institution
with Maryville in the program.
The new Maryville curriculum
and calendar, the result of a
year's intensive study, was an-
nounced last March 17, and will
go into effect with the opening
of the College in the fall.
While Maryville had applied
for specific amounts for several
programs, the announcement in
Washington recently did not
spell out the details of the grant.
However, major parts of the pro-
gram will be in cooperation with
the U-T Learning and Resources
Center.
The Maryville curriculum and
calendar, already largely estab-
lished in its general outlines,
would have been implemented
without the Federal grant. How-
ever, the grant will make it
easier, and allow the College to
advance more rapidly in the new
plan. President Joseph J. Cope-
land said.

Integrity, according to Webster, is "adherence to a code of
moral, artistic, or other values." It is a term seldom used in this
age of utility, an intangible quality which is vocally adhered to
much more often than it is used as an absolute guide. It is an
ultimate too often ignored, or, worse, deemed passe. It is, never-
theless, a quality which can command from the honest no less than
the utmost in admiration and respect.
The Chilhowean has chosen, wisely, to dedicate this year's book
to a man who is without question deserving of such a tribute. Dean
Frank McClelland, about to retire from a career of complete de-
votion to the improvement of this college, is a rare sort of person
whose entire existence is openly dedicated to absolute integrity. His
every action is the result of a careful analysis of its possible results.
He is always honest, often painfully, in his relationships with all
with whom he has contact. He makes his position clear, always as
a gentleman, with complete sincerity. He demands an honest analysis
of every issue. His decisions are based on an absolutely honest
evaluation of what seems to be the best course for the community
and the individual.
His successor will inherit a standard of integrity which will
demand dedicated effort to uphold. Maryville is losing a strong man
whose adult life has been spent in total commitment to the very
highest level of personal and community integrity. The Echo joins
the Chilhowean and the rest of the college in thanking Dean Mc-
Clelland for his efforts and wishing him a most satisfying retirement.
His integrity should be imitated; it is not likely to be matched.

One of the most cherished rights of the academic community
is that of free speech. Without it the college experience becomes
a mere indoctrination period during which time young people are
ingested, imprinted, and spat out bearing the stamp of some authori-
tarian regime. In order to prevent the intellectual impoverishment
of its students, a college must jealously guard the right of any person
to take any stand on an intellectual issue. The Maryville catalogue
states, "The campus community is an association of faculty and
students whose primary purpose is to strive for academic excellence
and personal growth in the light of the Christian faith and motive."
This community is composed of people of very divergent back-
grounds and intellectual persuasions, and it is .certain that the paths
they follow and the beliefs they profess will of necessity be varied.
It is the responsibility of the college community as a whole to main-
tain an atmosphere of free thought and expression.
Recent events on this campus have brought to focus the fact
that such an atmosphere cannot be assured without conscious effort.
Each of us at all times must extend to others the right to hold and
expound beliefs which may be repugnant to us personally. Jefferson
said, "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free
to combat it." It is when discussion gives way to repression that
freedom dies.
The furor over the Klan meeting and subsequent campus re-
action to certain of the events of the past weekend can prove
valuable if every member of this academic community is forced to
begin to think of the consequences of his actions. Even the uglier
aspects of this occurrence can be meaningful if they serve to under-
score the need for consideration of the place of the freedom of
speech at Maryville. The ramifications of intolerence go far deeper
than the sudden emotional confrontation of two differing socio-
political viewpoints. It is time for us to examine the question of
academic freedom and its effect upon the entire college program.
Is the student who regurgitates the prof's lectures on a test
although he may have differing opinions fulfilling his responsibility
to the college and himself? Certainly he is taking the most expedient
way, for in order to disagree he would have to construct creatively
his own web of proof rather than rely on one dictated to him. On
the other hand, is the prof who expects such parroting denying in
a very subtle way the student's right of expression? It is quite clear
that academic freedom conveys more than a privilege, it also lays
upon each of us the obligation to refuse to accept any thesis at face
value. Rather, we must evaluate every proported "truth," carefully
examining it before we make it a part of that framework of belief
which governs our lives.
We must be ever mindful that no one man has a corner on
truth. Our carefully reasoned philosophies must never become so
rigid that we cannot allow another person to express his own
theories. A college is grounded upon communication between scho-
lars, and if these channels of communication ever break down so
that intolerence prevents the free dissemination of views, then it is
time to realize that we are no longer a college, but have become
a propaganda mill for some pressure group.
Several years ago the North Carolina Legislature passed a gag
bill prohibiting both known communists and also anyone who had
ever taken the fifth amendment from speaking on a state university
campus. Today, he Tennessee legislature continues its nineteenth
century debate on the ridiculous "monkey law." Fifteen years ago
our country was in the grip of McCarthyism, which saw communists
hidden in every ivory tower of academia. Today many people look
to demagogues of one stripe or another as an effective means of
restoring order and quelling dissent. If we as students, faculty, or
administrators give in to this mania, we shall be betraying our
heritage and helping to extinguish the flame of academic freedom
and integrity.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:
As you are no doubt aware,
(>ongress in now debating legisla-
tion lo extend the military draft
for another four years.
In years past extension of the
draft was considered a minor and
routine matter. This year, how-
ever, a great deal of national
interest has been aroused. For the
first time since 1951 the under-
lying facts and principles of the
present draft system are being
examined very carefully by Con-
gress, in large measure as a re-
sponse to the widespread interest
and concern expressed by the
young people of America.
My own personal view is that
a number of powerful arguments
lead to the inescapable conclusion
that the time has come to make
a firm decision to end the draft.
In the hope that your readers
might be interested in the reason-
ing which leads me to this con-
clusion, and in some of the pro-
posals I intend to make along
this line when this legislation is
before the Senate, I am enclosing
a brief article which you are wel-
come to use as a guest column or
as a letter to the editor.
The time has come to end the
military draft.
That bald declaration will
startle many. But when all the
facts are in, and all the current
and projected needs for military
manpower have been taken into
account, it is difficult to avoid
the conclusion that America does
not need the draft, America can
afford not to have the draft, and
America is overdue in bringing
to an end this drastic invasion
of the lives and liberties of her
young men.
Congress is now beginning to
debate President Johnson's legis-
lation to extend the draft another
four years. In years past Con-
gressional examination of this
issue was perfunctory. This year
things are different.
Thanks no doubt to the heigh-
tened awareness of America's
young people, whose lives the
draft so seriously affects, many
in Congress are now for the first
time rethinking the premises
upon which the draft is sup-
posedly based. An increasing
number of them are finding it
sadly out of step with both our
Nation's traditions and with its
military manpower needs.
We must never allow ourselves
to forget that however pressing
the circumstances, the draft is in-
voluntary servitude. It is legiti-
mate and constitutional when
Congress, exercising its power to
raise and support armies, has no
reasonable alternative. But con-
scription must always be the last
desperate resort for meeting mili-
tary manpower needs, not the
cheap and easy expedient.
The only real argument for
having an involuntary draft is
that the Nation could not reason-
ably afford to raise and retain
the needed military manpower
without it. I maintain that the
Nation can afford to eliminate
the draft. In doing so we will
restore lost liberties. We can end
once and for all the inherent in-
equities of a compulsory system.
We can upgrade our armed
forces and increase our national
security. And we can do it at a
price this rich and powerful Na-
tion can easily afford.
There is no numerical shortage
of manpower for filling military
ranks. Each year nearly four
times as many men as the mili-
tary needs enter the draft age
pool. With more realistic service
qualifications and sharply in-
creased wages and fringe bene-
fits, and with an enhanced status
for military careers, we can at-
tract the 500,000 men we need
each year, even at Viet Nam
buildup level.
All we have to do is to make
up our minds that we are going
to stop exchanging precious
liberties for false economy —
false because, when the total eco-
nomic costs of the draft system
are taken into account, includ-
ing civilian wages foregone by
draftees, we may well be saving
nothing at all. And this calcula-
tion fails to take into account
the qualitative value of skilled
career specialists serving in
crucial military positions now
filled by reluctant draftees.
From the standpoint of in-
dividual liberty, equity to all, the so, while bribing us to believe
enhancement of national security, them on the hope of being left
and the total economic costs, the a materialistic Utopia in their
draft fares badly in comparison will.
liberties the draft has taken from
them.

Dear Editor:
"The peace hopes that flicker-
ed briefly a few months ago
have gone glimmering, and
the first U. S. strikes against
targets in Haiphong almost
certainy signal a general es-
calation of the war at every
level."
A typical quote from one of
"the important magazines" in
the library (one of those which
rates a plastic cover and there-
fore the endorsement of Ameri-
ca). No sir, no criticism of the
war in one of those magazines —
for they represent America. And
besides, it's not U.S. policy that
is prolonging the war effort, it
is the voice of dissent in our
country — Westmoreland just
told us so. And the jet-set has
told us so (between scenes of
the Johnny Carson Show). And
the older generation has told us
with an all-volunteer armed
forces system.
How do we get from the pre-
sent draft to the volunteer army?
First, we must unequivocally
reaffirm our commitment to the
goal of voluntary armed forces.
The draft should be extended for
one or at the most two years.
During that time the Defense
Department should embark on a
program designed to make the
draft increasingly unnecessary.

habilitation of Fayerweather Sci-
ence Hall.
Fayerweather uncertain
In the summer of 1964, dur-
ing the Development Fund Cam-
paign, Mr. Sutton pledged
$500,000 on a matching basis
with the Alumni, and his pledge
enabled the College to proceed
with professional counseling and
design. The firm of Taylor,
Lieberfeld, and Heldman, Inc.,
was employed to survey past
practice and future needs in the
sciences, and the architectural
firm of Barber & McMurry of
Knoxville was employed to pro-
vide the design and specifica-
tions.
Part of the recommendation
of Taylor, Lieberfeld, and Held-
man, after they projected future
needs for Maryville, was that
plans for the renovation of Fay-
erwether for science be aban-
doned, and a completely new sci-
ence building built. This recom-
mendation is being followed in
the Sutton Science Center, which
will house facilities for all the
natural sciences. The future use
of Fayerweather Hall is now un-
der study by the Board of
Directors.
Research areas
With the successful completion
of the Development Fund ir
February, 1965, construction ol
the new building was assured,
and in March, 1966, further fin-
ancial help came from the
Federal Government with a
$355,000 grant under the Higher
Education Facilities Act. The cost
of the new building had by this
time risen to $1,250,000.
Housing complete facilities for
chemistry, biology, psychology,
and mathematics and physics, the
new building is designed around
a teaching concept in keeping
with the new Maryville College
curriculum. It utilizes modular
units in which there is a central
service core with laboratories
and classrooms around the out-
side walls.
Because of the design in seg-
ments, all of the main area
partitions can be moved to
change the size and shape of
various areas as teaching pro-
grams and needs change. The
two-story building will have
about 47,000 square feet of floor
space.
Research areas for both be-
ginning and advanced work are
provided with carrels, and part
of the new program will be to
do away with scheduled labor-
atory periods so that the student

The Freshmen Niche
by The Publicity Committee
Report: Frosh Flick Night, 8:10 p.m. on April 22. Our shovv
itself was a brilliant success. We must add, though, the following
editorial statement:
Some predicted with sagely wisdom that, while the fare offered
was of superlative quality, reflection of that quality in terms of an
enrichment of our Treasury should not be expected. Indeed, we
made no profit on our show. We are not startled by the dashing
of our hopes, however; that was bound to happen. Certain parties
failed to notify the Frosh Heirarchy of attractive displays scheduled
simultaneously with the Freshman Class extravaganza, and it takes
no keen insight to sense a hint of rivalry. We understand the
mystique off-campus antics conjure, but indulging in such novelties
is not to be tolerated. We insist, therefore, that off-campus organiza-
tions sponsoring displays simultaneous with Frosh projects secure
our written permission. After all, loyal Scots pursuing genuine en-
joyment were rewarded in full by our well-planned entertainment,
and their pleasure should not be compromised by temptations of
folly.
Since our Treasury is still solvent, plans are to go ahead with
a suitable project in which all loyal Freshmen may take part. Get
in touch with your representatives and committeemen to give them
any suggestions you might have.
Nominations for class officers (President-, Vice-President, and
Secretary-Treasurer) are open. To make a nomination, simply pre-
sent the name of your nominee (or your entire slate of candidates)
to Steve Homing or John Wolfe as soon as possible. The same pro-
cedure will be followed in the election of Council Representatives.

Education in America
Topic of Forum
"I am not optimistic about our
achievements in education," Dr.
James D. Koemer, critic of
American education, told an
audience of about 150 at the
sixth of a series of public forums
at Maryville College last Sunday
afternoon. We are "in a fog" in
educajion, Dr. Koemer said, be-
cause we have no way to evaluate
the results.
Dr. Kierner, Former Executive
Director and President of the
Council for Basic Education, was
joined on the Maryville platform
by Dr. Douglas G. Trout, Presi-
dent of Tusculum College, and
Dr. Herman E. Spivey, Academic
Vice President of the University
of Tennessee and a member of
the Maryville College Board of
Directors.
The panelists, who examined
the topic "The Present State of
American Education" were in-
troduced by Dr. Arthur D. Ains-
worth, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Political Science at
Maryville and coordinator for
the series of lectures and public
forums.
educational costs
Dr. Koerner opened the dis-
cussion by telling the audience
that about one-fourth of the
Dr. lames D. Koener
United States population today is
students, and that if all the people
in the country who are involved
in education are counted about
30 per cent of the population is
working at the business of educa-
tion. He said that four of 10 of
those just out of high school are
now in college, but that less than
half of these eventually achieve
a degree.
"All of this costs us about $50
billion per year, which is 7 per
cent of our Gross National Pro-

duct and is far more than any
other nation on earth is spending
for education," Dr. Koerner said.
"Quanititatively considered,
we're not doing badly, but there
are those who still want more."'
American attitudes
After telling the audience he
had been away from America
for the past two years studying
in Europe, Dr. Koerner listed
five major changes in attitude he
said he has observed in the
United States toward education.
They are:
1. The changing role of the
Federal Government, including
the Congress, the Supreme Court,
and the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare. "The
way the money is doled out af-
fects policy," he said in citing
the centralization of authority
and the dramatic increase in
legislation affecting education.
2. Equalization of resources.
"We have had a tradition of
local control of education, and
expenditures have varied con-
siderably. People are talking
about greater equalization which
requires central authority."
3. The Civil Rights move-
ment. The idea of compensatory
education — that students from
deprived areas should get more
benefits to "make up" to them
the lack of resources is gaining
ground, Dr. Koerner said.
4. The attitude towards inde-
pendent and private schools, in
which he said there is a shift
towards more private schools
which are competing increasingly
with pubHc schools.
5. The change in approach to
the doctrine of separation of
church and state, which is allow-
ing increasing public support foi
church schools.
three issuea
Other forces at work in chang-
ing American education Dr.
Koerner listed as new technology,
curriculum reform groups, stu-
dent activism, research, founda-
tions, and the press.
Dr. Koemer concluded by
saying that "We don't know
what we are getting for our $50
billion."
Dr. Trout, who said he would
be a spokesman for higher edu-
cation in small liberal arts col-
leges, said that "change is the
only constant" in American high-
er education. He listed three
fundamental issues facing
American education:
1. Education, he said, is no
longer a question of finding the
answers but of asking the right
questions. "What is the nature
of the questions we should be
asking?" he asked.
2. The orientation of educa-
tion is being shifted from the
private good to the public good.
3. The idea that education is
a terminal process which ends
with a degree is passing from
the scene, and the goal is to keep
on learning throughout life.
Government's role
Dr. Spivey pointed out that
the Federal Government in edu-
cation is "not only here to stay,
but here to grow, and this can be
a blessing rather than a curse."
Federal help does not have to re-
sult in control, Dr. Spivey said.
He added that "We may have
committed ourselves to an aim we
cannot live up to — more and
more people think we ought to
make post high school education
available to all within 30 miles
of where they reside.
"I am sad," he added, "That
so far as resources go we don't
yet realize what it takes to live
up to a commitment of this
kind."
Educaion is being challenged
as never before, Dr. Spivey said,
by students, researchers, edu-
cators, and faculty members "in
that order," and citizens are wak-
ing up to the fact that life-long
education is a necessity.
"History" on final forum
The discussion among mem-
bers of the panel which followed
their presentations largely center-
ed around the problems of
church-related colleges and con-
temporary theological issues, in-
cluding the "God is Dead" con-
troversy.
The final program in the
series, sponsored under a grant
from the Lilly Endowment, will
be held May 7 when Dr. Robert
E. Brown, Professor of History
at Michigan State University,
will be a member of the panel on
the question "Is History the
Bunk?"

The day before the headHnes
said:
B-S2^s Pound Jungle
Viet Cong Terrorists Strike
GVs Killed by 'Mistake'
Want to do something, but
what? What can I, puny-uncer-
tain-confused-AlAverage do?
Then I heard about the
Silent Peace Vigil. The idea was
to stand there (there being the
Post office in Durham, N. C),
just stand there, in a quietly
eloquent statement of a desire
for peace.
Why a silent vigil? Man, onlv
silence could embrace the many
viewpoints supporting the vigil.
Was not an attempt to dictate
foreign policy. Merely to express
publicly our concern and try to
get people thinking. For some a
desired purge — bloody hands
can't ever be cleaned by inaction.
Noontime and hot. We gather-
ed. I was late, looked over as-
sembled group. Two University
radicals-in residence (the beards)
meticulously grubby. Several
Joan Baez types with long
straight hair and figures to
match. Some mini-skirted teenie-
hoopers (but no music to watch
girl protesters by). A smatter-
ing of pre-gods and post-gods to
represent the Christian commun-
ity. Professors (yes students, even
your ivory-towered teachers can
take a stand) several of whom
organized the vigil. One held a
sign SILENT VIGIL FOR
PEACE IN VIET NAM. The rest
of the line was filled in by Joe
Colleges — consciously or not
standing in the middle and avoid-
ing the right or left extremes.
And me.
Cars go by. Laughs. Jeers.
Teenagers flash obscene gestures.
Cars with families pass. Children
stare, wives smile, husbands
snarl. A stream of Detroit-en-
cased hostility. This is easy to
take. Ridicule from a distance too
abstract to make me uncomfort-
able. Even the seemingly inter-
minable wait at a red light does
not offer them much time for
mockery.
A car pulls up. Man gets out.
Balding and potbellied. Reads
sign. Says, "I just got out of the
service after thirty years. You
stink." Maybe peace is anti-
American. Looks at me and
people next to me. We look back.
"Commie bastards!" Tobacco
juice splashes on tennis shoe. A
martyr?
After a while someone comes
out of the Post office. Either a
J. Edgar or a Bobby Sheldon
(but, after all, is there really a
difference?). Greased hair, busi-
ness suit, and Hush Puppies.
Face slashed by a sardonic grin.
Starts taking pictures of us. First
I envision my debut on cover of
Time, then realize Post office
bulletin board or FBI files more
likely and start sweating. One
of us steps out of line and starts
taking picture of the J. Edgar
taking picture of us. The J. Ed-
«^ar stops and then takes pictures
of guy taking pictures of the J.
Edgar taking pictures. The ludi-
crousness of this seems to strike
only me. I giggle. Finally the J.
Edgar goes across street and en-
ters that American political hot-
bed, the barbershop.
Little old ladies pass us and
twitter. Car horns blow. Specta-
tors look like they expect to see
hairy Bolsheviks carrying bombs
suddenly swarm out from behind
us. My back hurts and I am hot.
A salty trickle burns my eyes and
then dribbles over lips, adding to
thirst. Wish the hour were over.
Find myself checking watch
every thirty seconds.
At one o'clock group breaks
up. Some stand and talk, con-
versation seems strange, grating.
Others take a beer break or go
to classes. I just want to sit
arounji and try to crystalize what
the experience meant to me.
What was accomplished? Were
any of the passersby affected?
Is my share of the collective guih
any less?

In those days a decree went
out from the Junior Class that
all "world" should be photo-
graphed. This was the only year-
book when Meta was editor. And
all went to be photographed each
with his own class. And Joseph
also went up from Morningside
from the city of Maryville to the
administration building, to the
tower of Anderson which is
called the head-shed, because he
was of the house and lineage of
Isaac, to be photographed by the
staff, being great with yearbook.
And while they were there the
time came for them to see the
dean about their falling grade
points. But finally they gave
birth to their first yearbook and
wrapped it in a plastic over and
placed it before the eyes of the
student body, because there was
no place for it anywhere else.
And in that region there had
been staff editors in Bartlett
keeping watch over their sections
by night. And the deadline of the
yearbook had appeared before
them and the agony of the dead-
line shone round about them and
they were filled with fear. And
suddenly there was with the staff
a sigh of relief as they said:
Glory to God in the highest
And on campus, sleep for the
staff since the yearbook is done!
When the yearbooks came back
from Nashville, the students said
one to another, Let us go to the
chapel and see this thing which
the staff has made known to us.
And they went and found Meta
and Merry and the Chilhowean
on the stage. And when they saw
it they made known what they
thought about it. And the staff
kept these things, and pondered
them in their hearts.
And the staff returned to Bart-
lett glorifying and praising the
year's ending because it had been
a "real experience."

The Maryville College Board
of Directors, meeting on the cam-
pus May 5 and 6, formally adopt-
ed the new curriculum and
division of the college year work-
ed out by a faculty-board com-
mittee, adopted a budget for
1967-68 of $2,072,500, and heard
a report on the Sesquicentennial
Development program.
curriculum approved
The new curriculum and calen-
dar, outlined earlier, is the re-
sult of a directive of the Board.
It provides for a division of the
college year into a 10-weeks ses-
sion, followed by four weeks of
special study or independent re-
search. This will, in turn, be
followed by two more 10-weeks
sessions broken by spring vaca-
tion. Starting in the summer of
1968 there will be a 10-weeks
summer session.
The planning of the curri-
culum on the basis of course
hours has been abandoned in
favor of specifying courses. In-
cluded is a basic "core" cur-
riculum which provides for a
foundation in the humanities, the
natural sciences, and the social
sciences. The new calendar and
curriculum provide for greatly
increased flexibility, with more
independent study. At the same
time, the new arrangements in
calendar and curriculum are not
expected to provide difficulty for
students transferring to Mary-
ville (College from other institu-
tions, or from Maryville before
graduation.
The program of independent
study, in which Maryville College
was a pioneer, will remain, and
be enhanced with more emphasis
on independent work by the in-
dividual student.
2j3 goal
The College budget for 1967-
68 is well over $2,000,000 for
maintenance and operation, and
represents a substantial increase
over the $1,971,000 budgeted
for 1966-67. This budget does
not take into account capital ex-
penditures for new buildings and
equipment, and the projected
new Sutton Science Center to be
built this year will add another
estimated $1,250,000 in antici-
pated spending.
The report of the Development
program, in which Maryville Col-
lege is seeking $12,000,000 by
the Sesquicentennial in 1969-70
showed that as of April 30,
$8,271 ,253 of the goal had been
raised. Of this sum, $2,599,879
has gone into the budget for cur-
rent income since the program
started in 1960. A total of
$915,683 has been added to the
endowment, $3,589,847 has been
spent on new buildings and im-
provements, and the remainder is
undesignated funds and unpaid
commitments.
The Maryville College Board of
Directors has 36 members who
are chosen by the Spnod of Mid-
South of the United Presbyterian
Church in the U.S.A. They are
business, professional, and
church leaders from throughout
the United States. Dr. Joe C.
Gamble of Maryville is Chairman
of the Board.
Dean McClelland
Announces Retirement
Dean Frank D. McClelland, who came to Maryville College in
1937 and has guided the academic program of the institution for
over 25 years, has announced his retirement effective at the end
of this school year.
The College Board of Directors, meeting on the campus last
week, praised Dr. McClelland's long years of devoted service to the
College and adopted a resolution made a part of the official minutes
of the Board, which says in part:
"... He was appointed Dean of the College, a post he has filled
with full commitment to the institution's purpose, with devotion
to the cause of higher education, with loyal service to this Board,
and with competence that has brought him the highest respect of
faculty, staff, and students. His contributions to the progress of
educational enterprises have brought distinction to him and to Mary-
ville.

"It is fitting that the directors
now pay him their highest re-
spect, assure him of their warm-
est regard, and accord him the
gratitude that his loyal service
and notable contributions so rich-
ly deserve. It is proper that we
honor him as a teacher, a leader,
an administrator, and a Christian
gentleman.
"Dean McClelland is a man
of integrity and purpose, a man
with the qualities of mind and
spirit to make his purpose plain
and to move with resolution to-
ward it. People trust him and
move with him, sharing in his

Interview with
Gamble and Price
by John Kerr
An interview with Doug Gamble, newly elected Student Body
President, and Doug Price, his Vice Presidential assistant revealed
an optimistic outlook for next year. Gamble expressed the feeling that
1967-68 will be a key year in the development of the college. With
this in mind, student government will aim at coordinating their
efforts with all the elements of the campus to bring about the success-
ful installation of the new program being adopted. Gamble em-
phasized the importance of the students' role in progress. He stressed
that students should be constantly striving for the best learning en-
vironment possible. He added that fighting the administration is
a mistaken , concept of the role of the student body, and that co-
ordinated efforts between the two groups will bring the best results.
Gamble and Price both expressed, interest in achieving a top-
flight academic community. And both insisted upon defining
academic as broadly as possible. Being integrally related to social and
religious life, academics cannot be considered in isolation. To create
an excellent academic community, therefore, requires improvement
in all the areas of campus activity.
As next year's President sees it, the two most pressing problems
facing student government are adopting a new constitution, and
creating an effective judicial system. Plans are underway to rewrite
the constitution and all the school regulations this summer in order
to make both more applicable to present needs. Of greatest im-
portance in next year's plans, however, is the establishment of
a student judiciary. Although plans are not far enough along to be
explained in detail, under this program disciplinary action would
be in the hands of a student board with the possibility of coopera-
tion from a joint commission from Student-Faculty Senate.
Another important area of work is that of teacher evaluation.
Federal money may be received to aid in such a program, but re-
gardless of whether the government offers assistance, some sort of
instruction evaluation will be developed.
Gamble expressed hope that student government can express
the total student view, adding that this places a great deal of
responsibility in the hands of the students. That is, students must
make themselves heard. Price seconded this idea by pointing out
that minority factions that feel left out, are in that position precisely
because they fail to have enough concern to speak out. The plea is
obviously for responsible student interest. As Gamble said, "It's
a sad state of affairs when a guy gets elected Student Body President
with no opponent."
Price made a specific plea that MSG and WSGA play a more
active role in student affairs. He feels that the various organizations
which make up the student body should take more steps toward
fullfilling their purpose, thereby creating a more progressive campus.
Lines of communication between students and faculty are now
open more than ever, emphasized Price. He pointed out that officers,
such as himself, have an important role to fill as links between the
administration and students.
If the student body takes a serious interest in progress, and if
coordination of the various campus elements can be achieved, next
year could certainly be a significant one for Maryville College. The
student government leaders have accepted the challenge. But it will
lake more than leadership.
DANIELS
cont'd from p. 1 , col. 1
The Maryville College com-
mittee on selecting the new dean,
made up of members of the
faculty and the Board of Direc-
tors, recommended his appoint-
ment after careful evaluation of
his credentials. Committee mem-
bers cited Dr. Daniels' outstand-
ing academic preparation and
scholarship, his industriousness,
and the fact that he is well liked
by his colleagues and students.
"His academic vitality and
concern for people, and his wis-
dom, intelligence, and integrity
were major factors in the selec-
tion of Dr. Daniels," a committee
spokesman said.
"We are most happy to have
Dr. Daniels as Academic Dean
at Maryville College," President
Copeland said. "We are planning
to use his experience and solid
academic background as we put
into effect the new curriculum
and calendar. We look forward
with him to Maryville's Sesqui-
cetennial celebration and to the
decades ahead,"

Playhouse Presents Williani
Inge's "Bus Stop"
William Inge's comedy hit "Bus Stop," the third of the author's
remarkable contributions to the American stage, was the final pro-
duction in the 1966-67 season for the Maryville College Playhouse.
It was presented in the College Theatre May 12 and 13 and again will
be presented again May 29 at Commencement.
Ellen Taschenberg and Robert Harner were the leading players
in Inge's inventory of a group of bus passengers marooned over
night in a diner by a snowstorm on the Kansas plains. All of the
action takes place in the roadside eatery.
'Bus Stop" is based on a real

Highlander Band
to Present
Spring Concert
An evening of enjoyment can
be guaranteed by the purchase of
a ticket to the Maryville College
Highlander Band's spring con-
cert, this Saturady, May 20,
1967, at 8:15 P.M. in the chapel.
The band will present the pro-
gram that was enjoyed by over
3000 people in Ohio earlier this
month. The group had toured in
Southern Ohio April 30 through
May 3, including the cities of
Cincinnati, New Richmond, Blue
Ash, Waverly, Washington Court
House, and Georgetown, Ohio.
One of the band's 75 members,
Miss Ibbie Ann Jack, will per-
form as soloist, presenting the
aria Un bel di from "Madame
Butterfly" by Puccini. She will
also sing selections from "The
Sound of Music" by Rodgers and
Hammerstein. Also included on
the program will be Beethoven's
Overture of "Egmont," "Chorale
and Capricco" by Giovaninni,
"Two Excerpts" from Tschaikow-
sky's 6th Symphony, and various
other selections. On the lighter
side of the program, the band
will perform its version of "Wipe
Out" featuring the percussion
section.
Tickets may be obtained from
any band member or at the door.

incident observed by Inge when
he was an instructor at Stevens
College in Missouri. In the play,
the lives of the characters become
entangled and changed during
the snowbound night. It is a story
of people in search of love, know-
ledge, truth, companionship and
a purpose. Life Magazine detail-
ed the play as follows: "By dawn
the rambunctious cowboy has
learned that a women's heart is
more easily won by humility than
hammer locks, the embittered
professor has been solaced by a
young girl's sweetness, and the
bus drvier has made a lonely lady
less lonely."
The staging of the Maryville
production, under the direction
of Thomas E. Jones, was done in
extremely realistic style. A sink
with running water, a stove on
which to cook, and a function-
ing refrigerator were part of the
stage equipment. The bus stop
restaurant was complete with
juke box.
Miss Taschenberg played the
role of Cherie, and Harner, the
part of Bo Decker. Others in the
cast were Sue Anthony as Elma
Duckworth, Kristin Mattson as
Grace Hoyland, Raymond Phil-
lippi as Will Masters, Philip Der
Pilbosian as Dr. Gerald Lyman,
Steve Horning as Carl, and
Frederick Callies as Virgil Bles-

New Program
Will Feature
Opera Singer
in Fine Arts
Maryville College is joining a
new program which brings re-
cognized young musical artists to
college and university campuses
where they can work with stu-
dents and faculty and provide a
creative link between perform-
ing artists and higher education.
Miss Karen Roewade, a
soprano who has appeared in
major opera productions and on
television, will be a member of
the Maryville fine arts faculty
next year. Her presence on the
campus for several extended
periods during the school year
will give Maryville students an
opportunity to learn about the
rewards, and the hazards, of a
professional career in the per-
forming arts.
TV »ppe«rancM
In addition, Miss Roewade will
be presented in College perfor-
mances, with the Maryville Col-
lege Choir, and as a soloist in
special productions and religious
programs. She will also be avail-
able for programs in area public
schools, and for presentations to
church, civic, and other groups.
Miss Roewade is a graduate
of Northwestern University
School of Music, and has had a
year of study toward a graduate
degree in voice at Boston Uni-
versity.
Her television work with NBC
Opera includes roles in Menotti's
"Labyrinth" and the Christmas
program "Amahl and the Night
Visitors," as well as the pro-
duction of Bach's "St. Matthew
Passion." She has appeared in
the Hallmark Hall of Fame's
"Cry of Angels."
experimental program
Miss Roewade's work in opera
includes roles in the Boris Gol-
dovsky Opera Theater and with
the North Shore Friends of
Opera in Queens, New York. She
has appeared in the Chautauqua
Summer Opera Festival and the
Metropolitan Opera Studio, and
was a member of the resident
opera quartet of the Green Man-
sions Summer Theatre.
Miss Roewade was a soloist
with the Master Institute Chorus
and .Orchestra and with the
Choral Symphony Society, and
has had a number of solo recitals
and concert appearances. She
won the Liederkranz Society An-
nual Contest in 1964, and was
awarded a Rockefeller Founda-
tion Grant the same year. She
won the New York Singing Tea-
cher's Annual Contest in 1965
in the Young Artist Division.
The program under which
Miss Roewade comes to Mary-
ville was first established as an
experiment in 1965. Called the
Affiliate Artist Program, it
leaves the artist free to pursue
his own professional career. For
the artist, the arrangement pro-
vides an income and stability
at a point in the careers of many
young performing artists when
help is needed. Maryville is now
one of ten institutions involved
in a growing program which is
making possible placement of
nearly 200 artists in colleges in
over 40 states.
A man need only declare him-
self to be free and from the
moment on he feels himself to be
bound. If he dares to call him-
self bound, he feels free.
Goethe
Choir Presents
Bernstein Work
Leonard Bernstein's "Chiches-
ter Psalms" were sung Sunday,
May 14, by the Maryville Col-
lege Choir, with the College Or-
chestra, for the Vespers service.
The performance, first in this
area for the Bernstein work, was
directed by Dr. Harry H. Harter.
The "Chichester Psalms" were
commissioned for performance at
the music festival in 1965 at the
Cathedral of Chichester in Sus-
sex, England. They consist of
musical settings of selected
Psalms, and will be sung in
Hebrew.
The orchestra was augmented
by members of the Knoxville
Symphony Orchestra. P h i li p
Lloyd, 11, of Knoxville, trained
by Dr. Calvin Bower of the music
faculty at the University of Ten-
nessee and Choirmaster of
Church Street Methodist Church,
will sing the part of the alto
soloist.
Other soloists from the College
were Ibbie Ann Jack, soprano;
Mary Rucker, alto; James
Breckenridge, tenor; and Charles
Doscher, bass. Dr. James A. Bloy
was the organist and Jonathan
Gresham played the trumpet solo.
The music, highly melodic and
in the contemporary style, calls
for heavy emphasis on percussion
Teacher Corps Looks
For Graduates
Applications for service in the
Teacher Corps are now available,
it was announced recently by
Richard A. Graham, the pro-
gram's national director.
The Teacher Corps is a grad-
uate work-study program that
trains college graduates (interns)
in the special methods needed to
teach disadvantaged youngsters.
It is anticipated that training
sessions will begin between July
and September of this year.
Currently working in 275 of
the nation's neediest schools, the
Corps combines two years of
tuition-free graduate study with
on-the-job training in the class-
room. After two years of Corps
service, Corpsmen may receive
a Master's Degree and will be
eligible for permanent teacher
certification in their training
state.
Teacher Corps applications
and additional information may
be obtained in the office of the
Dean of Students.

^'ould you like to take a hike?
Do you wish to write a poem?
Would an evening singing folk
songs make your day? Perhaps
this sounds idyllic for the busy
Maryville student, but it need
not be with the new program of
creative activities planned for
the coming academic year. The
venture — to be known as the
Creative Leisure Activity Pro-
gram (CLAP) — will offer stu-
dents, faculty, and staff eleven
activities for enjoyment and en-
richment.
No textbooks, no homework,
no burning the midnight flore-
scent, the creative activities will
afford participants the opportun-
ity to develop le!sure skills, to
learn new hobbies, to explore the
East Tennessee region, and to
enjoy companionship with faculty
and fellow-students. The activ-
ities include folk music, creative
writing, readers' theater, arts and
crafts, photography, sketching,
needlecraft, hiking, lore of the
Smokies, field and stream, and
camping. While each group is
to be organized by a member of
the faculty or staff, each partici-
pant will share in the learning
and the teaching.
With the pace of change es-
calating at Maryville College,
CLAP promises a needed varia-
tion from the academic demands
upon the college community. Per-
haps CLAP will allow us to see
with Thoreau "this curious world
. . . more wonderful . . . than
convenient; more beautiful than
. . . useful; more to be admired
and enjoyed than used."

John W. Nichols of Rt. 5, Pine
View Drive, Maryville, will be
Instructor in Mathematics at
Maryville College in the fall. A
graduate of Maryville in 1965,
Nichols is expecting to receive
his Master of Science degree in
mathematics at the University of
Tennessee in August.
Nichols graduated from Wal-
land High School. For the past
two years he has been a graduate
assistant in the Mathematics De-
partment at U-T.
The Freshman Niche
From your President:
I think it safe to say that by this time of the year we are no
longer freshmen. Perhaps we are academically — thousands of
people seem to be perennial freshmen (a healthy stimulus for our
society), but even our most frantic efforts to preserve a high-school
attitude have not been able to ward off the changes forced upon us.
Cultures have mingled, prejudice has been frightfully jarred, cherish-
ed values have battled for survival and lost. Minds have brushed and
lingered for a moment, friendships have been nourished, and pro-
found disappointments have made an awkward journey uncomfort-
able. Our friends away from Maryville will soon witness the
dimension we have gained.
Progress has been made as a group as well. There are too many
organizations on campus to permit a natural focus on Class activity,
but the energy of many freshmen this year has provided impetus for
a new tradition of participation. The small amount of new territory
we explored has been significant. Official Class duties, such as
the pep rally, Barnwarming, our Class movie, collecting dues, or-
ganizing dances, and providing Council representation and a struc-
tured government have been marked with old problems and new
complications. Each program has been a vital drama to those con-
cerned with it. For each enterprise a share of precious personality
has been donated. Some provoked controversy: our "Evaluation and
Analysis Committee" was given free hand to draw a picture of frosh
attitudes and desires, and to conduct general inquiry ; it emerged
with a comprehensive report and recommendation for action that
inspired at least discussion and, in some quarters, indignation. A
Constitution Committee has ardously hammered out a first for
Maryville: a Class constitution. An Orientation Committee has taken
the time to plan a coordinated, workable introduction for next year's
freshmen.
Most of this work has been directed exclusively toward the
benefit of the Class of 1970. A few steps, though, have been dedicated
to posterity. Our Class Constitution, if ratified, will formalize custom
and clarify rules. By-laws modeled on our proposed constitution may
be adopted by future Classes. Action for greater efficiency and
communication in Class government has been taken; this spirit of
concern, however insignificant now, may be appreciated in the
future. Genuine advantages of Class organization, now quite ignored,
might be recognized.
This farewell address does not signal my retirement from service
to campus organizations. Though the column you are reading may
be my last opportunity to make official pronouncements from an
authorized podium (at any rate, I hope I will not be bound to
The Freshman NicheV), silence will not deaden my participation.
Whining and complaining should be tolerated only when individual
expression and participation is prohibited; I am pleased to see
that maxim gaining in popularity. I, on behalf of your Cabinet,
personally thank those of you who have sacrificed time and energy
for the success of our projects. Let us all involve ourselves in next
years new dimension.

Scots Break Track Records
Thinclads in Action
The Track Team, after a strong
start, lost their momentum, and
then lost Dave Wiley, and were
not ahle to get back in the win-
ning groove. Their record was
a mediocre 2 wins, 4 losses, and
1 tie. The only bright spot in the
season was the rash of records
the Scot thinclads were able to
break — mostly at the TIAC Meet
at UT's beautiful Tom Black
Track. Dick Craig broke the
HO yard dash nniord set in 1936,
with a clocking of 51.0 seconds.
Brian Childs broke a 34 year old
record in the 880 yard run, with
a time of 1 .59.9. The 440 yard
relay team, consisting of Bob
McEldowney, David Garner, Bob
(-iccotti, and Dick (^raig, broke
the record set in 1965 and tied
in 1966 with a time of 44.3 sec-
onds. Cole Piper broke the discus
record by one inch with a throw
of 1241/2 feet. The old record
was set in 1939 by William
Baird, brother of our own Coach
Boydson Baird. The most out-
standing job of record breaking
was Dave Wiley's assault on the
standards set by Bob Cooper of
the 1966 team. On April 29, he
shot by the two mile record by
2.8 seconds with a clocking of
9.42.5. In the same meet he miss-
ed the mile record by a bare 2
seconds. The following week, at
the TIAC Meet, Wiley streaked
past the week-old two mile re-
cord with a time of 9.33.0. The
following day he set a new stand-
ard in the mile with a clocking
of 4.25.5.
It looked like a promising year
for the Scots when the year start-
ed. Maryville easily won over
Milligan by a score of 81-64,
with Hosken in the pole vault,
Craig in the 440, Garner in the
100, Klein in the 120 highs, Mc-
Eldowney in the 220, Clark in the
triple jump, Wiley in the two
mile, and both relay teams, re-
gistering first places. Maryville
swept the 100 and the triple
jump. In the second meet. Mars
Hill tied Maryville 72-72. This
score will stand as official even
though there is some doubt as to
some of the decisions by the
referee. Scoring firsts w^re Clark
in the high jump, Hoskens in the
pole vault, Wiley in the mile and
two mile, Craig in the 440,
Childs in the 880, McEldowney
in the 100 and 220, and the 440
yard relay team. Maryville swept
the 100, 220, and the two mile.
Maryville next 'ost to Sewanee
80-65 in a close, well run meet.
Maryville took five firsts and a
second in every running event,
but were not able to overcome
Sewanee's dominance of the field
events. W^iley once again was a
double winner in the mile and
two mile, Piper took thij discus,
McLaughlin took the triple jump,
and the 440 yard relay team once
again triumphed. Maryville swept
the two mile and the triple jump.
Meeting Milligan four days later
in a driving rain, Maryville was
defeated by a determined Buff
squad 80-65. Winning events for
Maryville v/ere Dick Craig in the
440, Garner in the 100, Klein in
the 120 highs, Wiley in the two
mile, Clark in the triple jump,
and once again the 440 yard
relay team. Maryville swept the
100 yard dash.
Mars Hill was the next Scot
opponent. The Maryville thin-
clads. hearing that the Lions were
mit to get the Scots, put on a
fine display of running and easily
handled Mars Hill 89-56. Cap-
turing 11 first places, and 9 sec-
ond places, the Scots were never
seriously challenged. Wiley once
again was a double winner in
the mile and two mile. Craig was
also a double winner with vic-
tories in the 220 and 440. Among
the others, Childs won the 880,
Garner the 100, Clark the high
jump. Piper the discus, Hosken
the pole vault, and both relay
teams. Maryville swept the two
mile.
The following weekend. May
5 and 6, Maryville participated
in the TIAC meet, scoring 11
points. Wiley was the only Scot
with two medals: a fourth in the
mile and a second in the two
mile. Others getting medals were
Garner with a fourth place in
the 100, Craig with a fifth in the
440, and Butch Crabtee with a
fifth in the javelin. The meet
was costly, though, as Maryville
lost the services of Dave Wiley
and Bob Ciccotti to injuries suf-
fered during the meet.
When Carson Newman came
to town the week after the TIAC,
the Scots felt the full effect of
the two absentees. In a good meet
that could have been different
with a healthy squad, Maryville
lost to Carson Newman by a
score of 79-66. Gamer was a
double winner in the 100 and
the long jump. Craig won the
100, Childs the mile, Crabtree
the javelin, Hoskens the pole
vault, and the 440 yard relay
their race. Maryville ended the
season at Emory University in
Atlanta and suffered the worst
defeat of the season 92-53. The
Scots took only three first places:
Childs in the 880, Craig in the
440, and McEldowney in the 100.
Coach Tomlinson loses no one
from this squad to graduation.
Consequently, he is highly op-
timistic over next year's pro-
spects. He announced the award-
ing of 16 letters to members of
the track squad, including 11
to first year men and a four year
award to assistant coach Joe
Malloy. The letters were awarded
on the basis of points scored in
the meets, ten points qualifying
one for a letter. The leading
scorers were Craig with 551/^,
Wiley with 52, Garner with 49,
and McEldowney with 46. Others
receiving letters were Childs,
Clark, Crabtree, Greeno, Hamory,
Hoskens, Klein, McLaughlin,
Phillips, Piper, and Styles.

STUDY
cont'd from p. 1, col. 5
The College recently made a
study from Alumni and other re-
cords of its local Alumni, and a
cross-section reveals that they are
leaders in every walk of life. By
occupation, those who are teach-
ers and educational administra-
tors lead the list, closely followed
by the other service professions.
There are 152 teachers in
elementary, high school, and col-
lege work in the county who are
graduates of Maryville College.
The next largest category is that
of housewife, with 123 wives and
mothers.
Medicine is hig'h on the list,
with 21 physicians, and a signi-
ficant contribution has been
made by the College to the
ministry, with 10 ministers in
the county who received their
baccalaureate degree at Mary-
ville.
Others are laboratory tech-
nicians, real estate agents, and
airline pilots.

Tennis
Finishes
Season
The Tennis Team finished
their season on the road last week
with losses to Milligan, East Ten-
nessee State University and
Emory and Henry. This season's
record is 2 wins and 1 1 losses, a
comedown from last year's team.
The record, though, is not sur-
prising, considering the formic-
able teams the Scots faced, and
the relative inexperience of the
Maryville team.
The Scots were paced by num-
ber two man, Al Marshall, who
scored 11.5 points (out of a posi-
ble 19.5). Pete Park, number one
man, had 8.5 points. The others
on the team scoring were Becky
Sankner with 5-5, Gary Dauron
with 3.5, Hugh Robinson with
2.5 and Penny Blackwood with
0.5.
Coach Kardatske was pleased
by the consistent play of Al Mar-
shall, who won 8 of his singles
matches and teamed up with Pete
Park for seven doubles victories.
Park, who, as a rule, faced the
stiffest competition, managed to
overcome five opponents in the
singles matches. Becky Sankner,
playing number three position all
season and winning five singles
matches, showed that she could
hold her own in this college sport
dominated by men. Congratula-
tions go to the Tennis Team for
having done as well as they did
against the caliber of competition
that they faced.
Briefly, the gloomy season
went like this: In late March, the
Tennis team dropped matches to
Mars Hill and to Ohio Wesleyan
by identical scores of 1-8. Mar-
shall got one of the wins, with the
other going to the doubles team
of Park and Marshall. Seven
matches were played in April, the
roughest part of the schedule in

The
Baseball Team Suffers
Losing Streak
The Baseball team is suffer-
ing through a somewhat dis-
apointing year. The team started
strong, but bad weather, arough
schedule, and injuries to some
key players hampered the de-
velopment of the team into a
good unit. With four games yet
to be played, their record stands
at 4-15.
Maryville lost their first game
to Anderson College 7-4, and
their second to the University of
Toledo 9-4. The Scots then won
two in a row — over Hillsdale
9-3 and LMU 8-6. After the
Spring break, the Scots lost to
the University of Chattanooga
6-3, then beat Mars Hill 11-6.
At this time, the team fell apart
and went through a disastrous
12 game losing streak. Maryville

to Tusculum 7-4, once again to

of 2-1 and 6-2 to end the losing
habit. The Scots finally overcame
their defeatist attitude to put
down Cumberland 3-0, as Jim
Backus threw a sparkling seven-
hit shut out.
Part of the blame for the losses
of the close games must go to
the team's inability to rally for
the big inning. Some of Coach
Baird's maneuvers have puzzled
players and spectators alike. The
repeated use of the squeeze bunt
and the working for the one run
when more are needed has left
the players with the thought that
they can not hit the ball out of
the infield. One can sense the
feeling of despair and defeat that
radiates from the bench during
games.

Despite the poor showing of
the team as a whole in the final
score, there have been some good
performances b y individual
players. Leading batters this year
are John Agnew with a .362 aver-
age. Junior Maietta at .300,
Lynn Dildine at ,297, and Sonny
Webb batting ,281. Among the
pitching squad Jack Llewellyn
is batting .445, with 4 for 11,
and Jim Moore is batting .300,
with 3 for 10, including one
triple and 5 RBI's.
Team leaders in individual
areas include, in two base hits,
Agnew with 5 and Dildine with
4; in three base hits, Dildine and
Webb, both with 2; and in home
runs, Macy, Webb and Agnew,
each with one. In runs scored,
Maietta leads with 10, followed
closely by Webb, Maxwell and
Agnew with 9. Agnew leads in
RBI's with 14, Dildine follows
with 12, and Webb and Maxwell
trail with 7 each. In the stolen
base department Agnew shot into
the lead at 7 with his three stolen
bases at Cumberland. Nicolas and
Dildine have 6 stolen bases each;
Maietta follows with 5.
Among the pitchers Jim
Backus leads in practically every
department. He has pitched in
6 games for a total of 46 innings.
He has 33 strike-outs. His record
stands at 1-4, the one win being
the shutout over Cumberland. His
earned run average is a very
good 2.93. As to the rest of the
squad. Van Leuven, the relief
specialist, has pitched in 8 games,
but only 19 innings. He has a
1-1 record, with a 3.78 ERA.
Jack Llewellyn has pitched in 7
games, for a total of 43 innings.
His record stands at 0-4, with a
3.85 ERA. Jim Moore has also
been in 7 games, 25 innings. His
record is 1-3, with 12 strikeouts.
Fred Rose, 0-2, has pitched 26
innings spread out over 6 games.
He has a fair 4.15 ERA, but a
very good 21 strikeouts. Jon
Hancher is the only other pitcher
of record, with a 1-1 record.
As has been noted earlier this
year, only three members of the
team graduate: Wiley Webb,
Jack Llewellyn and Frank Grea-
dy. With a few breaks going the
other way next year, the team
should substantially better their
present record. The material to
do so is very definitely there. We
look with anticipation to the
further improvement of the
Maryville Baseball team.

loyalty, and service that few can

He has led without dominating,
he has brought change without
being presumptous, he has ad-

Dean McClelland, a native of
Kentucky, entered Maryville Col-
lege in 1914 and stayed two
years. In 1916 he left to join
the Marine Corps and saw ser-
vice in France during the first
World War. He was commission-
ed in Germany and was cited for
gallantry in action.
Marine captain
After the war, Dean McClel-
land returned to college at Grove
City, Pa., where he graduated
in 1929. He started his teaching
career as principal of the Plain
Grove High School in Pennsyl-
vania, and two years later was
named instructor in science at
Pikeville College, Pikeville, Ky.
He later served as Dean of Pike-
ville College and was President
of the institution for four years
before he came to Maryville.
During his career at Pikeville
College Dr. McClelland earned
the Master of Science degree in
chemistry from Grove City Col-
lege, and did further graduate
work at Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. In 1936 Grove City College
conferred upon him the LLD
degree.
His academic career was inter-
rupted one more time during
World War II when he again
volunteered and served as a cap-
tain in the Marine Corps. He saw
service on Okinawa and was

Soccer can be said to be the perfect sport. Anyone can play —
and make his presence felt in his first attempt at the game.
To participate in this sport, one does not need the good eyes
to see the difference between a curve and a fast ball, the high or
low pitch. One does not need the height of a basketball player
or the weight of a football player (the tallest professional soccer
player in America is 6 feet tall, the heaviest weighs 174 pounds.
The weight of the average professional player is 155). One does
not even need the speed of a dashman, or the restrictive diet of
a wrestler. It can be played with as few as six men to a side, as many
as fifteen. All that is needed in the line of equipment is one round
hall. In many underdeveloped nations, soccer is played barefooted,
so shoes are not really needed. These are some of the reasons soccer
ranks as the most popular and most widely played sport in the
world.
Soccer is finally beginning to make a headway in America. It
has its faults — the major one being that it is basically a low scoring
game — not consistent with the demands of the American observer
fo rhigh scores in all sports. One other disadvantage is that under
international rules, the game is played in 45 minute halves — with
no time-outs and no substitutions. To accommodate the Amreican,
revisions have been made— including free substitutions and division
of the game into quarters ranging from 15 to 25 minutes in length.
At Maryville, the sport has always enjoyed moderate poularity
— especially among those students and faculty who became acquaint-
ed with the sport in high schools and other colleges. For three weeks,
a group o students (numbering as many as 35 one afternoon) have
enjoyed more or less impromptu games on Sunday afternoons. More
would have come if it had been better publicized. As we approach
the end of the school year, though, the future of soccer at Maryville
is once again obscure. In the line of suggestion as to what can be
done, may I offer the following two possibilities:
1. Make soccer an organized intramural sport — to be played
either in the fall or the spring.
2. Incorporate soccer into the 100-level physical education
courses required of all freshmen and sophomores. This last proposal
would take a little study, but it is not an impossibility in the next
two or three years.
I am not now advocating intercollegiate games — either on the

Community service
Along with his many duties in
his years at Maryville College,
Dean McClelland has found time
for a great deal of dhurch and
community work. He has served
as an elder in the New Pro-
vidence Presbyterian Church, and
is called on frequently by the
church to help on special com-
mittees. He has also worked over
the years at the Home Avenue
Mission.
A prime mover in the organi-
zation of the Blount County Re-
creation Program, he has work-
ed with Boy Scouts and with the
Chamber of Commerce Educa-
tion Committee. His civic work
includes membership in Rotary
and Kiwanis International, and
he has served as president of the
Maryville- Alcoa Kiwanis Club.
new curriculum
During his years at Maryville,
Dean McClelland started the
orientation program for fresh-
men, the administration of tests
for reading ability, vocational
guidance and special aptitude
tests, and expanded the program
of information to both students
and their parents. He also has
spent uncounted hours in individ-
ual counseling with many genera-
tions of Maryville students.
For the past two years he has
led the faculty in working out
far-reaching changes in the cur-
riculum and calendar, spending
many hours in conference and
study on the revisions which will
go into effect in the fall.
Dean McClelland, who has
lived on the Maryville campus
since his return from the Marine
Corps at the end of the war, has
purchased a home in Maryville
where he and Mrs. McClelland
will live. He has two sons, the
older an engineer in Washington,
D. C, and the younger a phy-
sician.

Elfs Encounter with a Positively Un parallelled Thing
Down EIftown\s slre<>l a lipsy gnome
Old-honey-filled lale humpies home.
A hig hlack lieetle scurries past,
On the dippler his shadow easts.
Our happy elf, himself hug-size.
Saucers his eyes in wide surprise.
Foot-woozy, then, away he wohbles,
Fighting off monsters, the breeze, and cobbles.
Tumbling home he collapses to bed,
Rose-petal quill defending his head,
Vows never to touch old honey again.

And dearly wishes that then and now

A Tribute
EUght
To D. R. P.
This night, this very now of when,
we together, my small shy fingers
enwombed in yours mother-soft and sensitive,
have climbed the hill of your heart,
its bell laughing through our hair,
and seen the word-winged swan
that nestles there in secret
on toast-warm eggs of becoming.
At your touch she exult poured
herself and us into beyond,
and silent sheathes of self
were left below, as we concresced
into the live life loving essence
of all being. Communion of union
and sacrament of burning life we were.
Then, down to the pregnant nest,
and down the heart-hill,
and various into star-stung silence.
But still I feel the laughing bell,
and I remember.

A Soldier s Spring Song
How, Spring, can you smile your high-sky smile
blue-bright above us, when the only smile
we are permitted is the bone-bare
grin of our death's head?
How, Spring, can you sing your bud-note song
green-tongued about us, when the only song
we may know is the dies Irae
of the greedy guns?
Goddam you. Spring, goddam you.

Rain Before Dawn
Lampblack of night clotted the sky-lens
and earth, oppressing light.
Then, stung by lightning, large rain
rinsed it all away.
Dark ran in runnels down the streets
and slunk into sewers.
Dawn caught the sky's fresh mirror,
smiled, and was.

The Moonbeam Boat
Come, take a ride on my moonbeam boat:
We'll slip from the sun-downed quay
On silver wings of elf -spun cloud
And sail on the night 'til day.
We'll skim the sky like a skipping stone.
Ring ripples round the moon,
Who'll laugh as our wake-waves tickle him.
And wiggle like a jello balloon.
We'll put into port at every star;
The sky folk will ask us to stop
To see their twinkling faery towns
And visit their candy shops.
I've a pocket filled with old full moons
(Up there they're good as dimes) ;
We'll buy pink starfoam candy swirls
(Blue, too) — they'll last no time!
Then we'll wave goodbye and off we'll glide.
And if there's time we may
Skate with the comets on the frozen fire
God spilled, the Milky Way.
Then a final swing around the moon
And back to the dawn-dyed quay;
Our ride is done, for now the night
Flows back into the day.
But again when soon the laughing moon
Builds up the boat from his beams,
We'll take a trip on the moonbeam ship
To the very end of dreams.

Down and over the dry-grass-hummocked hill,
wind-licked hair and shouldered coat fluttering,
while sleeping leawes' shush! my waking feet
in winter's nursery, today
anticipating vernal warmth.
Down and running the rustling seared-weed slope
wind-rushing I, and the streamward path
winds to the silver-song of rock-washing water.
I stop in almost silence but breathing,
the stream, the wind and I.
Greenly tossing waterplants dance to the stream's song
like wind-pressed wheat, more green
from winter's browning touch
to leaf and weedy hill,
brown study of pensive sleep.
Swirl-song of spilling water pulls me to the farther side:
I mount the fallen spanning trunk;
rotslick the log tricks me
and I slip shoe-full-deep
into January water.
I laugh with the stream at myself,
and the wind takes up our paean.
Feet and socks will dry, but so may souls,
so I shall drink all this

A Day In
The Life Off
Departing from his home in
Heritage Hills, he prepares for
a busy day around and about
campus, an atmosphere re-
miniscent of his undergraduate
preparation in a small college.
Arriving at his office in the
Executive Suite in Anderson
Hall, he checks his appointment
schedule, finding Convocation
the primary engagement of the
morning. He sees Convocation as
an important part of the "new
face" of Maryville College
through its use of new talent and
recognized scholars.
Following Convocation he leads
a philosophy discussion group
for freshmen in which he notes
spirited acceptance of reinter-
pretations of age-old ideas.
A meeting with the Curriculum
Committee begins the afternoon.
He particularly notes with plea-
sure the cooperation, concern,
and interdependence among and
within departments. As he re-
flects upon his past experience
at a large university, he realizes
that, although Maryville has
fewer curriculum offerings and
smaller departments, this is not
stifling to the academic atmos-
phere. Rather, this provides op-
portunities for greater develop-
ment and varied discussion out-
side the classroom. He notices,
however, a need for off-campus
activities to further academic
pursuit, particularly in regard to
movies.
He anticipates success in the
new curriculum which is based
on "solid educational principles
and strong experience." Although
experimental, it is not "too far
out," for the ideas are basic and
fundamental to life.
Part of his day is spent in
talking with students. In con-

THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET ARE WRITTEN OR THE SUBWAY WALL ■ OARFINKLE
EDITORIAL
With this first issue of the Highland Echo, we are starting
what we hope will be an exciting year in the field of college journal-
ism. The editors and staff are prepared, to present to you lively,
interesting, and, we hope, controversial features. We live in an
exciting and often terrifying age, and a college newspaper if it is
to be vital must speak to the needs and issues of the times. The
new curriculum has dragged Maryville College kicking and scream-
ing into the second half of the twentieth century; but our world
is one which is changing, not in fify year periods, but every
day, and we must constantly be confronted with the new faces of
this world in the form of provocative and stimulating ideas.
The revised statement of purpose of Maryville College says,
". . . Maryville seeks to establish a community in which students
and faculty . . . can unite in a common purpose and freely discuss
their differences, recognizing that when differences and tensions
no longer exist, man ceases to grow." It is the stated purpose of the
Highland Echo to provide a forum for the interchange of con-
flicting ideas and to help keep open the channels of communication
among all segments of the college community. We hope to place
before you items of controversy; if communication is to be achieved
you must respond, first by giving the ideas presented your thought-
ful consideration, and second, by reacting and sharing your views
with your fellow learners.
This page carries the title Graffiti. Graffiti is defined as,
"a rude inscription or drawing found on rocks or walls." This is the
true art form of communication of our era, the sudden scrawling of
a message, the uncertain, often plaintive outpouring of an alienated
human being. This page is your page, a chance to react to your
culture. An editor cannot help but speak from his own opinions or
points of view, in fact to do otherwise would be a moral cop-out.
You must, however, supply the needed balance by evaluating the
contents of our paper and reacting to what you find there. Marshall
McLuhan, the prophet of communication, says, "The environment as
a processor of information is propaganda. Propaganda ends where
dialogue begins." This page of the paper will always be open to
dialogues in the form of letters to the editor. Also the Highland Echo
will publish any articles that are of genuine interest to the ccJlege
community.
From time to time we will editorially take stands on issues fac-
ing our country, our generation, and our college. To avoid doing so
would be to abdicate our responsibility. We now challenge the faculty,
administration, and student body to accept their responsibility to
take a stand on issues and to have the courage to express it. This
paper will always remain open to your expressions, regardless of the
personal opinions of the editors. Let us maintain a dialogue this year.
a.s.k.
EDITORIAL
In the last two weeks, discussion of the new curriculum has
played a major part in campus discourse. There is a new spark of
enthusiasm in the eyes of the faculty members, who are finding
a new spurt of intellectual exercise. And lying beneath the surface
of this curriculum is the key to ideal academia — that of breadth
of exploration and interest.
While the freshman class spends each day in the throes of the
"new Maryville," the upperclass reaction generally runs in one of
two channels. One notable attitude is that of boredom to further ex-
planation of the program, while the other is a passive assurance that
"I wish I were starting as a freshman now." It seems that
too many people are failing to see themselves as part of the overall
program that Maryville is establishing.
Although Maryville proposes to ". . . establish a community in
which all activities — intellectual, religious, social, cultural, physical
— are coordinated so as to prevent distracting fragmentation," the
responsibility for student involvement lies far from the creators of
the program. Only by individual exploration and constant evaluation
may any person attempt to approach the "total person" that such
a liberal arts education as ours hopes to produce.
It is at this time that the returning students must see their
position in the new curriculum and calendar. Lying ahead is a full
year of activity, of which everyone must take advantage. Culturally,
intellectually, socially, religiously, and physically, it is a year
laden with opportunities for the potential total person.

The Disinherited

The world breaks each of us
and afterwards some are strong
at the broken places.
Hemingway
Thou hast committed —
War: but that was in another country.
And besides, the people are dead.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall inherit the earth
Is indeed a witty saying,
But an old promise gone suspect,
Soured by neglect,
Stagnant in waiting:
There is no longer
World enough for war
Nor time enough for peace.
If man has been granted
Warmakers have stronger arms
And peacemakers more patience,
This is no consolation,
I find no humor in it.
Blessed be the peacemakers
When they shall inherit the earth.
Whatsoever of it remains,
For will they breed any better?
And once peace has come,
Peeice that like war has been around
Long enough to be confirmed.
Of what value property
That has been involved with war?
What worth servants
Who have dropped dead
Running from life.
Or living, have fed on a corpse
And called it good meat.
Or lying among the dying,
Are able to sleep?
Gvilized war is a lie
And modern war a madcap,
A roaring sneer out of control,
Half-choking on its own conceit
To conceal an open-ended grin
Smelling of bad teeth.
Licking its dry lips
With a swollen tongue:
There is no pleasure in its kiss,
No beauty is in its embrace.
If war is inevitable.
As has been rumored.
Peace is but a pause
To bury the dead
And patch up the wounded.
To sing old victories
And curse off defeats.
To rest up for new slaughters:
Old soldiers never die.
They just keep on killing.
If peace is believed.
As has been promised.
Then war is absurd:
No matter how much
It plows up the land
And waters the ground
With the red sweat
Of its working brow,
Empty skulls and scattered bones
Sown with fertilized eyes
Spring up to a foul harvest
Untroubled by the birds
That have not yet fled
Flying in circles
Not knowing where to turn.
If war is absurd.
As has been believed.
And peace but a pause.
As it has seemed.
Both inevitable.
Taking turns — we are faced
With this crodced proposition:
There is no armor in love
And no rest nor hope in hate,
No comfort in paradox.
Blessed be the dead.
For they shall see God
And know first hand this thing
We have for so long called
Justice but have not found.

Movie
Review:
Tlie Pawnbroker
"The Pawnbroker." Screenplay
by David Friedkin and Morton
Fine, Adapted from the novel by
Edward Lewis Wallant and
directed by Sidney Lumet.
Sol Nazerman is a Jew. And
more than that, he is a Jew
crushed by the Nazi Party in
Germany. Before Hitler he was
a happy man with a wife and
two small children. Afterward,
which is the time depicted in the
movie, he is alone in New York
City, refusing to build any type
of lasting relationship with any-
one; that is to say, he is alien-
ated.
Here I would inject some
words of explanation for the
benefit of those scholars not in-
volved in the Philosophy 101
course. Credit for the following
knowledge goes to Dr. Esther
Swenson. Alienation, in a limit-
ed sense, is a state in which man
has withdrawn his feelings and
refuses to be involved with others
to the extent that he exists aim-
lessly. A man who is not alien-
ated— i.e., separated — has made
the effort to build and maintain
a core — home and language — to
which he and others relate. This
core, however, is impermanent;
that is, it, as such, passes into
and out of existence just as any
fact passes through time in space.
The unstable nature of a core,
then, makes it quite easy for
man to become alienated or dis-
associated from it.
In "The Pawnbroker," Sol's
center or core is destroyed. Be-
cause of the abruptness and
brutality of this destruction, he
forces himself into a somewhat
permanent alienation — rather, he
wants to be completely separated
from others. But, as the movie
indicates, it is impossible for
anyone to exist in a situation in
which persons are interacting un-
less he is totally cold and un-
feeling. Because Sol is a sensitive
man, he eventually yields to the
forces around him, but only
after Jesus gives his life for Sol.
Magazine reviews have given
litde attention to the meaning of
the movie, but they do provide
stirring comments. Although
America wastes much time in
criticizing the director, Sidney
Lumet adversely, it does call the
film a "valid and powerful,

Book Review:
The Hobbit
J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit. New
York: Ballantine BocJcs, Inc.,
1966. paperback.
I've heard of dwarves, elves,
wizards, and goblins, but • the
other day I met a hobbit for the
first time. Haflings, as they are
called in the outside world, are
ordinarily timid, tidy, hole-lov-
ing creatures. Physically, they
grow only to half the size of
men, wear no shoes due to the
tough leathery nature of their
feet, and dress as gentlemen.
Now, I don't pretend to have de-
scribed hobbits fully or accurate-
ly; rather, what I have said is
merely a mental image remaining
after the reading of J.R.R. Tol-
kien's The Hobbit, or There and
Back Again. Tolkien, a British
novelist, wrote this fantasy to-
wards the close of the second
world war. He mentions in the
introduction to his trilogy. Lord
of the Rings, however, that his
work is a linguistical effort only ;
that is, his interest in sounds,
words, and their origins led him
to develop a mythological tale
quite separate from any book
previously written. Throughout
the book, he shows himself as a
master of description — of char-
acters and setting — word usage,
and suspense, the last of which
is notable in that Tolkien tells
just enough to allow the reader
understanding, but not enough to
tell all. Hence, suspense and im-
agination run free.
Try pretending that you are
only half as big as you are; then
imagine how the world would
appear. Trees would be as the
whole earth, spiders as monsters
(if ever there were or are such
creatures), ponds and rivers as
lakes, and so forth. On the other
hand, elves and dwarves and
other little things would not seem
as extraordinarily small. If you
can stretch your mind to this
point of view, then you are
mentally a hobbit.
IN MEMORIAM
The Highland Echo, on behalf of the student body, expresses
sympathy to the family of Mrs. Tom Fuhr. In tribute to her
memory, we dedicate the following prayer.
"Eternal Life"
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace!
Where there is hatred ... let me sow love.
Where there is injury . . . pardon.
. faith.
. . hope.
. . light.
. joy.
Where there is doubt
Where there is despair .
Where there is darkness
Where there is sadness .
0 Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled ... as to conscJe;
To be understood ... as to understand;
To be loved ... as to love;
For it is in giving . . . that we receive;
It is in pardoning . . . that we are pardoned ;
It is in dying . . . that we are born to eternal life.
— St, Framcis of Assisi
Though lovers be lost love
shall not; and death shall have
no dominion.

During this summer it has become clear to many of our nation's
leaders and students that our national administration has expanded
the war in Viet Nam to wider proportions than can be tolerated.
Rather than empty promises of the end of this war, we have seen
more and more escalation and American involvement in this Far
Eastern conflict. It is because of the death in the thousands of our
American men, and in the hundreds of thousands of Orientals, that
people in the country have expressed a strong desire to end the war.
The organization, Negotiate Now!, is interested in ending this
war immediately. Its terms are honest, asking North Viet Nam to
come to peace terms with South Viet Nam and America. Negotiate
Now! calls for the ceasing of bombing and an unconditional peace.
Negotiate Now! will have petitions on this campus asking the
signatures of people interested in the end of killing and the genesis
of uncompromising world peace. This petition and others like it
will be sent to the White House.
We of the Editorial Staff back the right of the petition to be
on campus, the principle behind it, and the progress of humanity,
of which this is a manifestation.

though flawed dramatic juxta-
position of two contemporary
jungles . . ." Commonweal states
that " 'The Pawnbroker' suc-
ceeds in its absorbing drama and
thoughtful themes in making us
pay attention to what's wrong
today." It describes Sol as a mis-
anthrope, a "living-dead man,"
embittered and guilty "because
he si^rvived." But Jesus "awakens
Sol to the cry of anguish that
rnay be the beginning of his re-
turn to life." The New Yorker
magazine notes that "armored
in unfeelingness . . ., he (Sol)
has made himself unhumanly
safe — safe even from death,
which he would not lift a finger
to delay." Finally, Time makes
these comments: "The Pawn-
broker" is "the grimmest movie
of the year; yet the best of it
burns into the mind." Sol is "an
inconspicuous blob . . ."
Such are the nationally pub-
lished opinions of this film. The
campus feelings fall into several
degrees : depressing ; repulsive ;
stimulating; thought-provoking;
too realistic; causing little feel-
ing; realistic.
Whether or not your reaction
to "The Pawnbroker" lies in any
of the above categories, the movie
definitely has a lasting and pro-
found impact on the mind of any
sensitive person. The reality in
it is astounding.

BOYS AND GIRLS TOGETHER
NEW YORK, August 15 . . . According to a magazine article,
college living habits have changed drastically over the past few
years.
On campus^ throughout the U.S., boys and girls, in ever in-
creasing numbers, are living together as couples.
This is reported in the September "back-to-college" issue of
Esquire, where for the first time in any major magazine, four
campus couples are photographed in the houses where they live
openly together.
The four couples in the feature are from Harvard, Cornell,
Michigan, and Berkeley.
In Cambridge, Massachusetts, for instance, a Radcliffe coed, '67,
moved off-campus with a Harvard student. The parents who knew
made no objection: Harvard didn't seem to care and Radcliffe,
because the coed was officially in residence at one of the dorms,
didn't know.
Esquire reports the Harvard student as saying: "About a third
of our friends are married, another third just live together, and the
rest, well, are still looking for each other."
Both students, fully named, were photographed in their Cam-
bridge apartment for the magazine.
Another couple, living two blocks off the campus of the Uni-
versity of Michigan share domestic responsibilities with another
twosome in a six-room apartment in Ann Arbor. Like most college
couples Enquire finds they have a casual relationship: marriage is
not really a question yet.
The magazine, in its report on the new roommates, recalls that
the traditional college roommate always had to be a 280-pound bath-
less behemoth chosen by a sadistic dean of admissions. If one tried
to sleep, he snored; if one tried to study he played records, and
by the end of the year a person really learned how to hate.
Today, the love generation is apparently changing all this. As
the Cornell students put it, neither knows how long they will live
under the same roof: marriage is only one of many possibilities.

Lindaman Addresses
Convocation
Edward B. Lindaman, of North American Aviation and the
Apollo Program, spoke to the Maryville College students and faculty
at Convocation Friday morning at 9:50 in the Samuel Tindale
Wilson Chapel on the campus.
In his speech, entitled "Beyond Technology," Mr. Lindaman
mentioned the Apollo IV project — called "The Big Shot" — and made
other statements concerning the advancement of technological power
in many fields before he asked
the questions: "Who does man
think he is? Is man trying to
play God, or is he responding to
God?" Man, he said, has a "soar-
ing and exploring spirit" because
of his "creative insecurity." By
thinking, man did away with
"reHgious taboos" and, according
to Mr. Lindaman, then realized
there was a living God who al-
lowed him the freedom to imag-
ine. At this point, Mr. Lindaman
suggested that "perhaps we face
the new now." He lists three
things which man sees in the
world: "a new unity of know-
ledge," "a new quality of pos-
sibility," and a freedom creating
new demands and responsibilities.
Throughout the rest of his talk,
Mr. Lindaman gave examples of
words and phrases which may
take on new meanings within the
next ten to twenty years. Some
of these are: DNA, automated
farming, lazar, exobiology, salt
water conversion, textile en-
gineering, and others. The im-
portance of these and other pos-
sible advances, Mr. Lindaman
indicated, is that each improve-
man." Man has the choice be-
tween "arrogant autonomy and
love"; with freedom, he has
response ability.
The questions he raised in his
speech are not new to Mr. Linda-
man. He coined the word
theonetics (study of God in
change) to focus attention upon
the concept of consciously study-
ing change and growth patterns
and their affect upon the human-
ity of man. He has encouraged
church leaders to enter into
dialogue with the change makers
of the nation. To this end, he
has brought top executives of
science, industry, education, and
government into direct confronta-
tion with leaders and theologians
of several denominations in a
series of nationwide theonetics
symposiums.
In 1964, CBS television inter-
viewed him on their Southern
California series "The Creative
People." At pr^ent he is serving
as moderator of a second thirteen-
week television series on ABC,

THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET ARE WRIHEN OH THE SUBWAY WALL - GARFIRKLE
Editorial
Maryville College has changed: It's hard to believe, but Mary-
ville is not the same staid, provincial, unenlightened, Victorian,
church- related college — oh, it's still staid, provincial, unenlightened,
Victorian, and church- related; but it's not the same. During the
course of the vast revisions of the past year it was decided to
examine that most touchy of campus issues: the discipline system.
The thinking then was that the supposedly "total" person that Mary-
ville was to turn out should be reasonably capable of maintaining
order within the community. The archaic concept of in loco parentis
seemed finally to be dead here in the Harvard of the South. But
wait!
Unidentified forces have been at work insuring that our mommies
and daddies here in our home-away-from-home would still be able
to watch over us. Not only that, but through the magic of bureau-
cratic maneuvering the powers-that-be have managed not only to
keep the power, but also to place the burden (and you had better
believe that's just what it is) of enforcement upon the student
body. How all this happened is somewhat of a mystery, but one
thing is certain: the student judicial system which promised to be
a vigorous, forward-looking method of maintaining discipline has
had its very foundation shaken.
The judicial system was conceived as a student organization
empowered to deal with infractions of college rules through a system
of "courts" composed entirely of students. Central to this concept
was the belief that in order to achieve student compliance with the
rules it was first necessary for the students to be able to respect
those rules — not necessarily agree with them in all cases, but at
least to be assured that there was a certain amount of reason and
fairness behind them. It was felt that the only way to insure this
was to review systematically and completely all student regulations
currently on the books at Maryville College. This review was to be
done by a committee of faculty, administration, and students. It
was hoped that from this would come a code of conduct that would
be both acceptable by the administration and attainable by the
students. Since such a review would entail a great deal of work, it
was to be developed over the summer so that the student judicial
system would be ready for operation this fall. So far, beautiful, but
wait!
We return in the fall and, strangely, no rule revision. Oh, we still
have a student judicial system — on paper. Technically it's a part
of the new student constitution, but what we have now is an
emasculated version of the original idea. Without the revami)ing of
the rules, we are enforcing the administration's standards with our
system. This is ridiculous. There are too many rules which need
re-examination (but that's another editorial). The time has come
for us to take a stand and refuse to support that which we have not
had a part in formulating. We will still have to obey the rules; the
powers-that-be have all the guns. But instead of a system based upon
mutual trust we will be reverting to the division of the campus into
the warring parties of faculty-administration versus student body
with each group trying to control or invade the other.
The original plan for the judicial system declared, "The Student
Government of Maryville College establishes a student judicial system
because it feels itself capable of handling the responsibilities of self
government for the student body. It feels the responsibility to main-
lain the standards which hold together such a community." The ad-
ministration apparently does not believe us capable and merely wants
the student judicial system to enforce standards which it has had
no hand in determining. We must refuse to do so. If they want
their rules enforced, let them enforce them. And in the process let's
forget all talk about student responsibility and student-faculty-ad-
ministration cooperation.
Like it or not the Maryville cloister is opening to the world,
and the harsh realities of modern living just may invade our ivory
lowers. To encourage investigation (via a new curriculum) into
all fields except these concerning rules of the college is extremely
inconsistent. Certainly the administration can force us to obey
regulations (through use of the old discipline committee which has
been likened, perhaps not without reason, to the Salem witch trials)
we find incongruous with the world outside these scared walls of ivy,
and we can either give in or move on. The administration, however,
has increasingly turned to cooperation rather than coercion when
dealing with what must seem to them strange student demands.
It is to be hoped that this attitude will be applied to the current
problem. It's still not too late to reaffirm trust among all members
of the community.

Timothy Leary
"A shower on the inside" is
how a college girl described her
experience of an LSD trip. This
terrifying, strangely enticing
world of hallucinatory drugs was
the subject of a stimulating talk
recently given by Dr. David
Young in the Lantern. He began
with a discussion of the divisions
and properties of these drugs,
passing into a reading of the
poetry of Timothy Leary, the
spokesman of the psychedelic
crowd. The poetry spoke of the
East, union with nature, and
communion with psychic ener- ■
gies, and set a mood of quiet
thought and introspection which
gave a dim inkling of the kinds
of experiences "trip-takers" claim
to have.
However, LSD is unfortunate-
ly capable of causing personality
disintegration and has moved
from the area of a laboratory
tool into the area of a social
problem. This question of LSD
and similar drugs is one which
cannot be ignored. As Dr. Young
said, "I agree with Dr. Linda-
man's optimism about the
technological advances he men-
tioned, but I am very pessimistic
about the drug scene." He re-
commended two books which
might provide useful background :
LSD; Alpert, Cohen, Shiller;
New American Library, 1966;

ving Psychedelic; Stafford and
Golightly; Award Books, 1967;

Letter
to
The Editor
Dear Editor:
The regrettable incident in the
dining hall Sept. 21 was sober-
ing to me as well as to many
other people to whom I have
spoken. The gratification of the
hunger drive is important, grant-
ed, but when the crush of people
forcing their way into the dining
hall knocks someone to the floor
and injures and frightens him,
something is lacking in good
breeding and good manners in
the groups of students who eat
there.
I have been listening to sug-
gestions and ideas all day. Some
people suggest two shifts at
dinner, others recommend family
style, still others advocate open-
ing all three doors to the dining
hall. In reality, the solution to
the problem is none of these. The
solution must come from the
student body itself. Fortunately,
the person knocked down was not
injured badly, but such could
easily have been the case. As I
have said, it remains with the
student body to deal with this
problem as ladies and genriemen.
— Carol Cocke
Editorial
We have all marveled at the predictions and signs of the great
advancement in our technical world. Surely there can be no greater
miracles than three-dimensional light images or the humanitarian
uses of infrared beams in medicine and agriculture. Truly the
technical Utopia is at hand and all can look forward to a long and
enjoyable life ... I think.
Can we really believe that man's seemingly unlimited mind can
produce a society of coexistence and peace? Are there machines to
right the social wrongs and moral deviations? What is the name
of the machine or technology that can dispel the very human
idiosyncrasies such as ethnocentrism. Can a robot with a "low I.Q."
handle the problems of the humans with a low I.Q. Freshmen, can
you conceive of some techmical system to solve your problems of
alienation ?
Our modern technology is a necessity to our civilization. We
are on the verge of great ventures into outer space and into our
own inner space: the oceans. But we will always be plagued with
those human problems that only the experience of another human
being can understand. Philosophy, the Queen of sciences, and your
noble court of the humanities we cannot forget you!

A Modest Proposal
Boy wonder of the pantagon
Robert McNamara has announced
that the U.S. will construct a
"thin" anti-ballistic -missile
(ABM) shield to protect against
a possible nuclear attack by
China in the 1970^s. This will
require about 6 years to build
and will cost between 5 and 6
billions dollars (but it could
easily go as high as 10 or 12
billion). Our principle of defense
against the lean and hungry
Orientals has here-to-fore been
the concept of deterent, i.e., by
an ever-increasing arsenal of
super-kill weapons, we make an
attack uporn us appear so costly
for an agressor that he will
hesitate to commit himself (in
other words, hit me and I'll beat
the hell out of you).
Now, however, we are going
to begin to rely upon a defensive
as opposed to a potentially of-
fensive system for protection. In-
coming ICBM's will be spotted,
tracked, and shot down by
fantastically sophisticated anti-
missile-missiles. This sounds great
until one realize this thin shield
would protect only against the
crude weapons of the evil Chinese
(as opposed to our "good"
Chinese), while the missiles of
the cunning Russians could still
sneak through (white people are
always better at making wea-
pons) .
So . . .
When this ABM system is
finally constructed, great agita-
tion will begin, crying for an
extension of the system to guard
against the Russians also. (An
interesting point: the presently-
projected system will protect
our offensive weapons from de-
struction, but will do nothing to
protect the civilian population —
read the fine print, it's there.)
This agitation has already begun
in the persons of Senators
Pastore, Anderson, and Jackson,
and Presidential-hopefuls Reagan
and Nixon. Their argument runs
something like this: With a thin
shield, a Soviet attack would kill
120 million, while a "thick"
shield would lower this figure to
30 million and cost of mere $40
billion.
Even if we build this "thick"
shield, however, our troubles are
not over (oh, the problems of
ruling this world correctly). The
Russians would probably respond
to this "thick" shield by build-
ing many more nuclear war-
heads and jump the death figure
back to 120 million. Then we
would have to increase our pro-
duction and the race would be
on; tensions would grow and oui
economy would be drained of
domestic funding.
I would like to propose a
simpler solution. The three in-
volved nations, U.S., Russia, and
China, should meet secretly and
decide to discontinue weapon
production. Then they should cal-
culate what the probable results
of all-cfut nuclear war would
have been. Working on a per-
centage basis, they could easily
determine equivalents in the
other two countries for the U.S.'s
120 million probable casuahies.
Increasing taxes ostensibly to
fund an ABM program, the three
countries could salt away vast
amounts of money. When the
coffers are full they each would
armounce a lottery for every per-
son over 26, the lucky winners to
be liquidated to fill that coun-
try's quota of death. This may
seem cruel, but there is a pre-
cedent in the proposed lottery
for the draft. The result would
be the same, but this time we
would get the idiots who formu-
late our policy — not the kidls.
The $40 billion not used could
then be divided equally among
the 80 million survivors and we
could rebuild this somewhat rack-
ed-up country. With a population
of landed aristocrats, our city
problems would be solved and
also the poverty program could
disappear.
Any day now I expect to turn
on tv to see Lyndon . . . "My
fellow Amuricuns, the Sec'tary of
deefense and me decided . . ."

FORNICATION? NO, HELOISE!
Peter Abelard, the great scholastic theologian of the 12th
century, is attributed with that unscholastic thought of his love
affair with a brilliant 19 year old girl, Heloise. This existential ex-
pression survives the reformation. The following tells it how it is.
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

Ian Tyson — Sylvia Fricker
Three silver rings on slim hands
wink,
Fla^h bright in candle light,
Til Sunday's early morn.
We found a room,
That rainy morning.
She took my hand through wind-
ing roads
And led me home.
Some red French wine
When late awaking.
In her own hideaway
She ^miled and combed her hair.
We talked of all,
We talked of nothing.
I left with promises to meet.
She told me where.
But she laughed each time I
asked her name,
Made promises to meet again.
But her friend down at the
French Cafe,
Had no English words for me.
So you may find, above the
border,
A girl with silver rings — I never
knew her name.
You're bound to lose, she's too
much for you
She'll leave you lost some rainy
mom.
You won't be the same . . .
You won't be the same.

Dear Editor,
This notice is directed to the
mismannered people who rushed
into the door of the dining hall
on September 21, 1967. I know
you were all eager to get to your
food and sample the delicacies
spread before you, but did you
have to trample one another and
possibly seriously injure some-
one? I know we all rush for the
great food, but think how it
would be if you were not able to
rush for aU these delicious
gormet delights. If you entered
with an orderly fashion every-
thing would move faster. And if
you did this, there would be
many untrampled people left to
enjoy the delectable meals with
you.
B. S.
An abused gormet, in more
ways than one.

Comment:
We of the Editorial Staff defend the right to present this side
of the issue and invite anyone with an opposing point of view to
bring it forward in the form of a letter to the Editor or an article
in the Highland Echo. "Let us maintain a dialogue this year,"
Negotiation Now!
''The present impasse can be broken and a halt
put to the increasingly horrible slaughter and
destruction of the Vietnam war only if one side
or the other shows the wisdom and the courage
and the compassion for humanity to take the
initiative on a first step.*'
*'A cessation of the bombing of North Vietnam is
an imperative necessity to create conditions for
peaceful talks ^
U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations
March 28, 1967
* We support the call by U Thant for new initiatives to bring about negotiations among all parties
to the conflict; leading to a political settlement of the Vietnam war.
* We call upon the United States, the most powerful nation in the world, to take the first step
and end the bombing of North Vietnam now and without conditions. We ask our government
to take further initiatives leading to a standstill truce.
* We ask North Vietnam and the National Liberation Front to respond affirmatively to any new
United States initiatives and to join with the U. S. in a standstill ceasefire.
* We ask South Vietnam to respect and join in these steps.
This course of action presents to the United States a moral alternative to our stated policy of bringing
about negotiations by force, or to the devastation of all-out war, and a more realistic alternative than
unilateral withdrawal.
We believe that such initiatives now can break the impasse and lead to negotiations and a political
settlement providing for the removal of all foreign troops and for genuinely democratic elections in
which all South Vietnamese can participate freely.
Intramural
Futbawl
The Maryville College Intra-
mural Football Program started
early this year due to the new
curriculum. According to Coach
J. D. Davis, the enthusiam this
year is very high, but there is a
definite lack of man power. Last
year eight teams made up the
intramural league; this year it
has dropped to six.
This year's roster includes the
Alpha Sigma Sledgehammers,
Alpha Sigma Hammers, Inde-
pendents, Kappa Phi Knights,
Titans, and the 0-7-0's.
The Alpha Sigma Sledgeham-
mers, three year intramural
champions, may prove to be the
powerhouse team this year. The
Sledgehammers, with a well-
rounded offense which can
strike from anywhere on the field
and a tough defense which gives
ground grudgingly, make it dif-
ficult for all their opponents.
Possibly one team to challenge

Sig's dominance will be the Inde-
pendents. This team is made up
of a host of returning flagballers
who played together last year.
Their strongest point so far this
year seems to be their defense.
This defense against Sig's of-
fense should be the game of the
season.
Another team that will make
a strong bid for the league
championship this year is the
Kappa Phi Knights. This team,
made up predominately of mem-
bers of last year's wrestling
squad, boasts a powerful running
attack.
Rounding out the league are
the Hammers, Titans and the
0-7-0's. Their lack of experience
and team-play prohibit them
from being strong contenders for
the title.
The season is now underway.
Come on out, pick your pre-
ference and PRAY for the team

Operating on a "no credit, no
grade" basis, students are offer-
ed, under the leadership of
faculty members and people in
the Maryville community, leisure
activities in the three general
groups of performing arts, hand-
crafts and hobbies and outdoor
living.
The individual programs are
open to all Maryville students,
until the average group mini-
mum of 15 to 20 per group is
reached. Most groups will meet
once a week so that the activities
will take little of the students'
time. In some instances, fees will
be charged for equipment and
transportation, but membership
in an activity group is free.
Activities in the performing
arts include folk music, creative
writing, and readers' theater. Un-
der the leadership of Mr. Thomas
and Mr. Cartlidge, folk music
buffs can enjoy group singing
and listening to recordings. This
group meets one hour a week
with 15 to 50 students. Members
are encouraged to bring their
own folk instruments. Those who
would like to share their creative
writing skills with others can do
so in the creative writing group,
lead by Dr. Davis and Mr. Mit-
chell. There is no fee for this 2
hour per week activity. The
groups' maximum is 15. The
readers' theater offers drama en-
thusiasts a chance to interpret
drama as a reader-participant,
under the direction of Mr. Eddie-
man and Dr. Carolyn Blair.
There is no fee for participation
in this 15 member activity which
meets two hours a week.
Arts and craft, photography,
sketching, and needlecraft are of-
fered in the handicrafts and hob-
bies division. Groups of 15 for
various arts and crafts are lead
by Dr. Walker, Miss Lightfoot,
Mrs. Carle Davis, Mrs. M. Davis,
Mrs. Cate, Mrs. Shere, and Mrs.
Crawford. Fees, time, and equip-
ment differ for each craft. Tliose
who enjoy photography or sketch-
ing can, under the leadership of
Mr. Kinsinger, Mr. Swenson,
and Mrs. Kardatzke, respective-
ly, learn more about their hob-
bies. Both groups have a maxi-
mum of 15 students in each and
require two hours a week. Knit-
ting and crocheting, as the first
phases of needlecraft activity, will
be taught by Mrs. Largen, Miss
Huddleston, Mrs. Campbell, and
Mary Jo Messenger. Members of
this group of 15 to 25 partici-
pants must supply their own
equipment.
The outdoor living activities
include hiking, lore of the
Smokies, field and stream, and
camping. There is no number
limit for those interested in hik-
ing in the surrounding areas of
the Smokies, an activity which
will include at least two or three
hikes per term. Leaders of this
group are Dr. Young, Miss Ingle,
Dr. Case, Mr. McNiel, Mr. Ram-
ager, and Mr. Dent. The beauty
and historical sites of the moun-
tains will be shown through films
and field trips to members of
the lore of the Smokies group.
This activity is open for 25 stu-
dents and is headed by Dr.
Shields. Two all day fishing trips
are planned for the 10 partici-
pants in the field and stream
group, lead by Coach Tomlinson,
Coach Kardatzke, and Dr. Parker.
Individuals must furnish their
own equipment. Coach Baird and
Mr. Fleming are leaders of the
camping group of 15 students
who will spend one hour per week
on camps and take three over-
nights during the year. Members
must supply their own camping
and hiking equipment.

''Blistering Jesus, burn our hearts
The crucial point in the life of man comes when he must decide
he has courage to give himself to something. A man is that to which
he is committed. Thus, Dr. Esther Swenson began the discussion
Friday night at the UCCF Retreat. Serving with her on the panel
were Mr. David Cartlidge, Dr. Randolph Shields, and Dr. Mark
Davis.
In response to Dr. Swenson's statement, many queries were
raised by panel mfembers, faculty, and students: How free are we
in making commitments? Are commitments made consciously?
How does commitment relate to scientific inquiry? Can man change
his commitment? Is there such a thing as Christian commitment?
Numerous ideas were discussed in regard to these questions.
Man is free to make a commitment although various factors are
involved, including goals, motivations, and past experiences. When
man becomes aware of these factors, he is free to respond any
way he chooses. Without freedom, there is no conmiitment.
Many people commit themselves unconsciously. As man under-
stands himself, he realizes what he has committed himself to un-
consciously and decides whether or not he is ready to make a con-
scious commitment.
In science the concept of commitment is translated to human-
ism. Man is the only creature that knows he knows. Thus, he
learns to recognize the problems, commits himself to this recognition
and then does something about it ; he must be committed in order to
make the proper decisions. Between decisions man can analyze him-
self thereby conditioning himself to future situations.
Commitments are constantly changing, yet man is always com-
mitted. The uncommitted man has no reason to live. Life becomes
a constant battle.
There is no such thing as "Christian commitment," for
Christians are committed to many things. A Christian is aware tiiat
God is real, but since there is no singular belief, he can be committed
to many realities. A central concept is difficult to find, because Jesus
can be confronted in many ways. The solution to this problem is to
confront oneself with Jesus, allow the confrontation to be attractive,
and then make a decision.
Although no solution to the problem of commitment was reach-
ed, many ideas were presented for individual inspection. TTie
question remains: Are you willing to commit yourself?

Scots Open With Tough Loss
The 1967 version of the Maryville College football team opened
a tough nine game schedule at Hampden-Sydney, Virginia, Septem-
her 16, suffering a tough 14-10 defeat.
After the opening kickoff, Maryville moved into Hampden-
Sydney's territory drawing first blood when place-kicking specialist,
Jim Cannon, booted a 40 yard field goal. The first-rate blocking of
tackles Dennis Shockley and Walter Saz, guards John Forgety and
Cole Piper, and center Dwight Reagan allowed halfbacks David
Gamer and Lynn Dodez to slash through Hampden-Sydney 's defense
in the first half. Fullback Alex Robins also exhibited great running
power showing why he is considered one of the top small college
runners in the South. Quarterback Harvey Crabtree displayed poise
in his throwing to fi-eshmen ends, again in the second quarter scor-
ing a touchdown on a Crabtree to White 15-yard pass.
Hampden-Syndey then scored in the second quarter and made
a 2 point conversion cutting the score to 10-8 at halftime. In the
second half, the Scots could not keep a sustained drive going. They
moved the ball for 2 or 3 first downs, then were forced to punt.
Hampden-Sydney counted the deciding touchdown in the third
quarter giving them their final 14-10 margin.
This year's team lost its opener, but it showed the fans plenty.
The defense, while having trouble adjusting to Hampden-Sydney 's
power sweeps, gave the Virginians plenty of trouble. The defensive
unit twice stopped Hampden-Sydney inside the Scot's 10 yard line.
Linebackers Bill Carkhuff and Rocky Brown along with the defensive
secondary of Steve Dockery, Ralph McCampbell, and Bob Cicottii
shut off the opponent's passing game. Alert defense found the
Scots intercepting one pass and recovering two fumbles.
After the game, Hampden-Sydney's Athletic Director and
several of its players complimented the Scots for their hard hitting
and hustle. The Scots are big, rugged, and hard hitting. With ex-
perience, a few breaks, and barring injury, this team could vastly
improve Maryville's football fortunes.

1967 Grid Prospects
The start of another year of school brings out the perennial
question, "How does the football team look?" In answer Head
Coach Howard "Monk" Tomlinson says we have "the best offensive
and defensive starting teams in the past three years."
With twenty-six returning players, twenty of them lettermen,
Maryville fans can look forward to an exciting and hopefully
winning season. Last year's team, 65% freshmen, has gained ex-
perience, a valuable weapon in rolling up victories.

Kid, to back up Crabtree. Fred
Rose will also be used as a
quarterback replacement al-
though he is a fine starting half-
back. All of these men have good
passing ability.
For fine offensive running we
can count on Lynn Dodez as
halfback and Alec Bobbins as
fullback. Both are bigger and
tougher this year and are sure to
barrel their way-s4o the end zone
for game winning points. Filling
in on the outside running attacks
will be Dave Garner and John
Klein, both tailbacks. Their speed
and ability are blue chip stock
for the Scots.
This year our offensive line is
not only heavier but taller,
especially with the addition of
Dennis Shockley, a junior trans-
fer who is the biggest man on
the team, towering 6' 3" and
weighing an aggressive 225
pounds. His size and ability at
tackle has vastly improved our
interior line potential.
At end we can count on not
one of the best of the Scots and
is an excellent candidate for
Little All American honors. With
defensive greats such as Cole
Piper, Wally Saz, W. N. "Dub"
Osborne, Dean Bercaw, Joe Daw-
son, and John McLaug'hlin chew-
ing up the opponents offensive
attempts, the future looks bright.
With returning backup men like
Bob Mitchell at guard and Ed-
ward "Rocky" Brown at center,
the Maryville fans can count on
good reserve power.
In addition to the regular of-
fensive and defensive teams,
Maryville has two good kicking
specialists. Jim Cannon was
second in scoring last year; he
missed only one extra point and
was four for five in field goal
attempts. Jim also does a good
job at kickoff time and shows
possibility as a reserve punter.
David Garner, our punting re-
gular, averaged 391 yards in 61
punts as a freshman. Coach Tom-
linson rates Dave as one of the
South's top ten kickers.
Beside good freshmen ad-
ditions to the team we have also
added two coaches to our regular
line up of Coach Tomlinson and
Coach Kardatzke. Mike Dalton
will be helping Coach Kardatzke
in the backfield and will work
with the ends. This is Mike's
second season as an assistant. He
was captain of Maryville's 1965
football team, and he knows his
business well. Our other addition
is Don Elia who played for the
Scots in '59, '60, and '61. He
has returned to Maryville to
finish his degree and is lending
a hand with the football team.
We know these two added as-
sistants will help the team work
out its problems and lead us to
a winning season.
All tolled the team looks good
this year and shows excellent
chances of rolling up a winning
season. Let's all turn out to see
the Scots and give them all our
support.
A complete fact book about the
Maryville Scots can be purchased
at the games from the M Club.
It contains complete thumbnail
sketches of the coaches and team,
facts about our opponents,
and the vital statistics on the
players.

"I've come because music is
my world — but it's your world,
too.
These were the words of Karen
Roewade, affiliated artist from
Maryville College for the Af-
filiated Artists Series, as she pre-
sented the weekly convocation
last Wednesday morning.
Miss Roewade, after being in-
troduced by Dr. H. H. Harter,
opened her program with an aria
from La Boheme by Puccini. In
a humorous and informative
The soprana, in speaking of
modern opera, defined opera as
"artistic translation of human
experience and emotion." She
stressed that people today emit
only "candy bar emotions," and
that good opera can stir the real
emotions. She proceeded to pro-
duce these emotions with another
aria from La Boheme.
In telling of her career, Miss
Roewade said that it required
control, experience, and the with-
speech, Miss Roewade said thai f "f '"^ "ts''jnr^cart^r lie

Honaker Club Plans Exciting
Bowl at Maryville, Nov. 17
The Honaker Club is making plans for the annual Honaker
Bowl Football game to be played on Honaker Field at Maryville
College, Friday, November 17, at 7:30 p.m.
This year's contestants will be two champion high school teams,
rather than the Maryville College eleven and a college opponent as
in previous Honaker Bowl encounters.
The Champion of the Chilhowee High School Conference will
be the host gridiron team. Plans call for the selection of a visiting
team from the state as a worthy opponent.
Competing schools of the Chilhowee Conference are Alcoa,
Everett, Lenoir City, Loudon, Maryville, and Sevierville. The teams
that are selected, and all other conditions under which this post-
season tilt is scheduled will be governed by the rules and regulations
of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. The game
was approved by the TSSAA in a letter from A. F. Bridges,
Executive Secretary of the Association.
All proceeds of the contest are to be placed in the Honaker
Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Honaker Club desires that academic-
athletic scholarships from this fund be awarded to eligible high
school athletes from the schools represented in the Chilhwoee Con-
ference.
The fund now has a balance of $19,000, but needs another
$6,000 to activate it, according to Mose Gamble, Club President.
The objective is to raise fund from the game.
The Honaker Club sponsors an Awards Banquet, imm^iately
following the game. Guests of honor will be the players, coaches,
managers, athletic directors, principals, and superinteednnts of each
competing school.
Presentation of bowl trophies will be made to each team, one
for the winner, and one for the loser. These trophies are permanently
retained by each school. In case of a tie, each squad receives a trophy
of equal size and will be recognized as co-winners.

suitably for the "Scots" school
a Scottish ballad,-Miss Roewade
re-stated her purpose: "I don't
think you can live without music
and I'm here to see that you
know you can't."
Besides her appearance in con-
vocation. Miss Roewade present-

peared in the Hallmark Hall of
Fame production of "Cry of
Angels."
Her woric in opera includes

Jay and Americans
To Perform
Ticket sales are underway for
Maryville College's first "Pop"
Concert of the year to be held
Friday night, October 20, as part
of the College's biggest Home
coming program in the school's
history.
Jay and the Americans, popu-
lar television and recording stars,
will perform at the College
Chapel in this Homecoming event
sponsored by the College Student
Council.
Alan Cropper, Junior from
Wilmington, Delaware, is chair-
man of the ticket sales.
Tickets may be purchased at
Minton's in downtown Maryville,
at Hitch's in Midland Shopping
Center or the booth in front of
the Bookstore on the Maryville
College Campus. Ticket prices
include $3, $2.50, and $2 per
person.
Lots of guys born in desperate
poverty lower their horns and
break through the jungle to find
recognition and face — some
finding partners along the way
with whom they can share the
spotlight. But Jay and the Ameri-
cans share between them the
satisfaction of realizing an am-
bition that began together as kids
in New York, and that has blos-
somed together as adults in the
entertainment world. They played
on the streets of Brooklyn and
ran together in gangs wihere street
fights and trouble with the local
police were common-place, but
at night when tihey sat around on
the stoops of the tenements they
sang together, and there the seed
of their ambition was planted.
iTieir voices blended beautifully
together, many times cauding
strangers to stop and listen. They
found they shared the same en-
thusiasm for singing, and the
same conviction that Amercia
offered unlimited opportunities
for aU wiho were wiUing to woric
— and, they were willing.
Channel 2 Television:
Focus on Maryville College
For several weeks now, WSJK-TV, educational Channel 2 in
Knoxville, has been presenting programs dealing with the new Mary-
ville College. The program series, entitled "Focus on Maryville
College," serves a twofold purpose. It serves the educational needs
of the area by presenting programs of a higher quality than those
normally received, and it enhances the image of Maryville College —
the true image of what this college is and what it does.
Under the direction of Mr. Arthur F. Dees, the following aspects
of Maryville have been televised: "Why Maryville College?,"
utilizing the college film ; a program explaining the new curriculum ;
a presentation of the life and work of Carl Sandburg; and excerpts
from Dr. Ferenc Nagy's Convocation address, followed by a dis-
cussion of his topic by Dr. Arthur Ainsworth, Dr. Ralph Collins,
and Dr. Boyd Daniels. In the weeks to come many other happenings
of importance at Maryville will be televised. On October 10, the
creative activities program will be discussed; Dr. Edward B. Linds-
man's discussion with a panel of six students will be shown on
October 17, in color. On October 24, Jim Reynolds, Al Keim, David
Rugh, and Dr. E. Fay Campbell will present the past summer pro-
ject in India, followed on October 31 with a program in color
featuring Charles Malik, former President of the U.N. General
Assembly. On November 7, Mr. Bill Fleming will discuss the
Sesquicentennial Year 1969-1970, and the Development program.
Following on November 14, Chuong, former ambassador from Viet-
nam to the United States will be presented, in color, and on Novem-
ber 21, Miss Karen Roewade will be featured in a color presentation.
Mr. Dees wishes to emphasize that any suggestions from any
students will be greatly appreciated, and that if any student is
interested in writing a television program for this series, he would
be glad to talk with him. Mr. Dees has an office on second floor
of the chapel.

Editorial
NAUSEA
"The purpose (of Maryville College) is the pursuit of truth in
concept and in life." This sentence taken from our revised statement
of purpose magnificently opens the way for members of this com-
munity to begin their explorations for the highest meaning in life.
We members of the academic world are in the unique position of
being able to devote our entire energies to this pursuit for truth. To
give less than our total selves to this search would be to deny the
purpose of education in general, and Maryville College in particular.
The academic atmosphere at Maryville is both challenging and
invigorating. Our new curriculum, a rededicated faculty, and an
increased student awareness have combined to make the academic
pursuit of truth a vigorous reality at last. It is indeed unfortunate
that the same cannot be said for all aspects of college life.
We as students come to Maryville hoping to benefit from the
vast knowledge, wisdom, and experience of the faculty and admin-
istration. We want an education as that we are able to discover
the tools for our own pursuits. Academically, we receive from
Maryville both statements of truth and the right to question the
validity of these statements. This is true education. Socially, how-
ever, we receive statements of truth and then are denied the right
to question. Dogmas are handed to us and we are expected to see
the essential goodness of these statements and are to follow them
unquestioningly. This is not education; it is training.
Again looking at the statement of purpose, we find, "An educa-
tion that truly liberates involves full and free exploration." In
my youthful naivete I would expect this to apply to the total
life of the college and to the "total man" we hear so much about.
In the realm of Maryville social life, however, this full and free
exploration is interpreted to mean accepting established regulations
without the opportunity for experience and testing. This attitude
of prohibition in certain areas may work (however, see "Where is
Eliot Ness . . .") but is it conducive to an educational experience?
There are fantastically complicated forces operating to disrupt life
in our society, i.e., alcohol, drugs, the "new" sexual morality, and
others, and it is the College's right — in fact its responsibility — to
see that we face our society prepared to cope with these problems.
At the same time, the College has the right to legislate concerning
the conduct of students while they are on this campus. The hangup
is, however, that Maryville has been abrogating its responsibility
to educate us to the potential dangers of these disruptive forces
while at the same time forcing us to conform to the College's
standards at all times.
We want to be shown — get us the best lecturers available, pre- "
pare reading lists, establish discussion groups, talk to us individually
— but we don't want to be denied our right to question. Show us
the dangers of those activities the administration considers ill-
advised, but don't legislate against our rigiht of experimentation when
we are off Maryville College property and when our activity is not
disruptive to the campus.
This is all very basic to the concept of education. Maryville
can attempt to be very Pavlovian in its approach to the social
issues, ringing its bell of alcoholism and having us respond, "Alcohol
is bad. I will not drink." This is again training rather than educa-
tion. What happens, however, when we leave Maryville to face the
harsh realities of the ringing of society's many bells?
The statement of purpose affirms, "The curriculum is designed
to equip him (the student) to think and act with independence,
imagination, and sound critical judgement . . ." Why should the
academic side of the college have such freedom and the social side
be so restricted? Certainly Maryville must set standards of con-
duct conducive to the maintance of this community (although it
might be argued that there is a certain wisdom in allowing students
to help in formulating these regulations), but the rigid structuring
of a student's off-campus activities does nothing but point out the
hypocrisy in the College's stated purpose. There must be some op-
portunity for individual decision after the College has attempted to
present what it considers the answers to social issues. If Maryville
College feels it is necessary to reach out to control the student out-
side this community, then it is perhaps time to re-examine the
adequacy of our educational methods.

Tie?
Tie? What's that you say, tie? What do you mean? Surely the stu-
dents of the tuned-in, turned-on generation really like talking ties.
A low murmur of discontent from the upperclassmen ? Yes, but did
you hear the freshmen laughing?
Of course I know it was chapel, tie. What better time for me
to amuse and entertain the kiddies? No, tie, I know chapel is not
vaudeville, it's a time for corporate worship when the whole college
community can meet for meditation and inspiration. That's why it
is compulsary. Tie, I certainly don't see anything out of place in
my talking to you thert*. Disrupt the service? No, of course not.
I'm sure Pete didn't mind. Anyway, he's just a student and I'm
sure he was amused like all the rest. Certainly tastes change . . .
What do you mean a generation gap?

Letters
te
the Editor
The Disinherited and the Uni-
dentified
Dear Al,
Who is -M? "The Disinherit-
ed" issue no. 1 is a throught-pro-
voking piece of poetry, but why
are the Echo readers deprived
of the knowledge of its author?
Who or why is -M hiding? Let
him (or her) come out into the
open for his just due — praise or
censure. If dialogue is important,
then it is important to know who
"to dialogue with."
Sincerely,
Dr. Young
Box 2894
Mr. Mitchell replies:
I can't offer much of a dialogue
since I readily agree with Dr.
Young's objections, and I can
offer only a weak explanation.
I was aware of my own dilemma
when I requested anonymity. It
was a conflict between my belief
in responsibility and my fear of
embarrassment. As soon as one
puts an idea or an emotion in
poetic form, he subjects himself
to severe prejudice and a very
high standard of judgment; the
form conspicuously announces
that the expression pretends to be
poetry, that it wants to be art.
As I told the editor beforehand,
for the content I am ready to
identify myself upon request;
for the form I prefer to remain
anonymous.
Th
IS IS a
filler.
Where Is Eliot Hess When We Really Need Him?
We are now five weeks into the problem. One half of our first
of three terms has passed and still we have heard of no attempt
to alleviate the situation. What is this problem? It can be presented
this way: if the present rules prohibiting the use of alcohol on
campus were enforced, our Saturday nights would no longer be bor-
ing. Scenes out of The Untouchables would be recreated with the
full excitement of our bygone prohibition era. The Feds in their
green Ford pickups would be in hot pursuit of the runners on their
silver Schwinn English racers.
What do I mean if the present rules prohibiting the use of
alcohol on campus were enforced? I mean that the rules that we now
have on the books are not followed to the fuU extent but are
rather passively enforced to the point of neglect. These rules are not
respected because they are not enforcd. (see first Editorial)
It has been five weeks and nothing has been done to setde this
pressing problem. There are rules, but they are not enforced. So in
five weeks the freshmen on our campus find that there is no real
risk in breaking the written laws concerning alcohol and so the laws
are broken. Even a naive Maryville College student could see, after
the first two weeks of school, an inebriated person staggering about
his Saturday night social business. Any men's dorm, on any week-
end, may emanate olfactory sensations of Anheuser-Busch. Does
Anderson Hall realize this?
The Administration was told of the extent of on-campus drink-
ing at the end of last year. The reaction was disbelief. The Ad-
ministration must be told again this year before we move on any
further. The use of alcohol is extensive. Any Sunday morning survey
of trash cans will prove this. Any Saturday night stroll into a re-
sidence hall will verify this. And now it can be seen, by all who
will open their eyes to the reality of this problem, that alcohol is
now used on a weekend basis by the Class of 1971.
The answer to the problem is a new set of realistic laws by
which the student body may live. These laws must be respected by
the majority of the students and must be realisticly acceptable to
the Administration. Mutual respect and candid honesty is indicated
and must be demanded by both parties. We can not go any further
into the year with these ambiguous or unenforced rules in existence.
The use of alcohol by college students does not have to be a problem,
but it can be a problem when it is abused by the irresponsible stu-
dent when he is not guided or forced by realistic administration and
student body generated rules.
We as students must be educated concerning the use of alcohol.
We as a college must have a set of mutually acceptable rules, and
those rules must be enforced. This has to be done NOW.
b.c.
Editorial
Maryville is changing, a recent editorial in the Echo notwith-
standing, and part of that change is the new spirit being fostered
at the college. The spirit of community is replacing the spirit of
family of an earlier Maryville. The latter spirit, with its image of
the faculty and administration as benevolent, all-wise parent and the
student as obedient, unquestioning child, is giving way to a spirit
of cooperation between faculty and student. Though not equals, both
view themselves as searchers; both share the same vision, a common
concern, a mutual willingness to gladly learn and gladly teach. This
new spirit was the keynote of Dean Daniels' opening convocation
address.
The spirit of community is welcomed by most at Maryville. With
its new opportunities, however, community introduces new respon-
sibilities. An excellent case in point is the college ruling on alcohol.
In the spirit of community the ruling has been rewritten to explain
the reasoning back of the college's position. Sociological and medical
studies have shown that alcohol is "detrimental to the standards of
group living." In the interest of the community of learners "the
use or possession of such beverages is not permitted" the student
at Maryville College.
In the spirit of community the Maryville student should accept
the college's position on alcohol. But the new ruling asks more than
student acceptance. In calling for the good of the group, the new
ruling would seem to include the larger Maryville community.
If, as the new ruling explains, alcohol is "detrimental to . . .
group living and academic achievement," is it not also a peril to the
Maryville faculty, staff, and administration? Or must we be forced
to an Orwellian position that at Maryville College all are community,
but some are more community than others?

Murvul Racks Up First
Win
strong
Under the leadership of Butch Crabtree; behind a
running attack provided by the entire offensive backfield and back
ed up by the stingy Scot defensive platoon, Maryville College rolled
to it's first victory of the year over Mars Hill, 7 — 0. Maryville scor-
ing came on it's first offensive series of downs. The Scots marched
50 yards in seven plays and the touchdown came as John Klein
skirted left end and romped 23 yards for the score. Jim Cannon
converted the extra point attempt and the Scots led 7 — 0.
The offensive unit dominated play in the first half and the
defense held Mars Hill scoreless. A rejuvenated Mars Hill squad
took the field in the second half and drove inside the 10 yard line
twice, but failed to tally a score. In the fourth quarter an apparent
Mars Hill touchdown was called back because of an offensive hold-
ing penalty.
Linebacker and defensive signal-caller Bill Crakhuff, who led
the defense in individual tackles, along with Paul Grice, W. N.
Osborne, and Joe Dawson, stood out defensively and along with
the rest of the defensive unit held the Lions to 8 first downs and
91 yards gained on the ground. The Mars Hill aerial attack was
a few yards more potent than their running game, but neither was
enough to put them on the scoreboard.
Aside from the called back touchdown the only other real
threat to paydirt came when Tommie Nix intercepted a Crabtree pass
and returned it 54 yards to the Scot 14, where he was stopped by
the last man, Butch Crabtree. Then the defense took over and. held.
Klein's touchdown jaunt of 23 yards and Dave Garner's sweep
around right end for 25 yards in the closing minutes of the third
quarter were the long runs for Maryville.
Scots Whomped
By Wasps
Coming off a win at the ex-
pense of Mars Hill, the Maryville
11 ran in to unexpectedly heavy
resistance at Emory and Henry
and was throtded 35-7. The
Wasps dominated all phases of
the game, stopping the Scotty at-
tack while ripping the Maryville
defense with a well balanced of-
fense.
For the first time this year the
Maryville defense was not able
to control the pace of the game.
Ripped by both passing and
running, the team lacked the
spark it had shown in earlier
action. An exception to the
general letdown was the play of
Bill Carkhuff, junior linebacker,
who played his usual fine game.
It is hoped that this one bad
game will not affect the spirit
for the rest of the year.

John Forgety, co-capfain of Mary-
ville's football team
BIG 63
John Forgety, a Physical Edu-
cation major and co-captain of
Maryville's football team, hails
from Strawberry Plains, Tennes-
see. His football record includes
two years in junior high, four
years in high school, and now
well into his fourth year of col-
lege ball as a strong side of-
fensive guard. His sports interest
also centers on wrestling, which
he hopes to participate in this
year, after being idle since his
freshman year.
John's comments on the team
as a whole were of high praise.
The team is hard-working and
possesses a good attitude towards
its upcoming acton on the field.
Considering the offense, For-
gety felt it was strong and high-
ly capable of scoring from any
position on the field. In addition,
the offense is able to spring its
runner loose. In his opinion, the
passing attack itself has been
executed well. Pass completion
was above average in the
Hampton-Sidney game, 11 for
15; but it was below average in
the Georgetown game, 11 for 24.
Forgety feels the running game
has been exceptionally strong
from tackle to tackle.
Speaking in turn on the de-
fense, he stated that this year's
team has "the toughest goal line
defense I've seen in four years."
The defense is especially tough
on runs up the middle and inside
the ends. The secondary line has
yet to be beaten deep by an op-
posing receiver. Forgety con-
tinues to praise the defense.
especially acclaiming good line-
backers, good lateral movement
to the outside, and a very strong
noseguard position.
Considering the kicking aspect,
he states that Maryville has a
first-rate place kicker who is able
to achieve a field goal inside the
40 yard mark. Maryville's punter
is capable of executing a 42 yard
average punt.
The team this past week has
concentrated its practice on
fundamentals. The team has ex-
hibited "lots of hustle" and ex-
pects high results on the upcom-
ing games, with special efforts to
be made against rival Carson-
Newman.

Sesquicentennial Symbol To Be Unveiled
The Sesquicentennial Symbol reflects the aspiration of Maryville College to be a community buih
upon a single commitment, dedicated to a single purpose. The commitment is to the Christian faith;
the purpose is the pursuit of truth.
This commitment is symbolized by the sun, which from the dawn of human consciousness has
suggested to man the creative and guiding force at the center of an orderly universe. To the early
Christian the sun became a symbol of Christ Himself; and universally it has come to carry complex
implications of creativity, love, wholeness, and intellectual and spiritual strength. The purpose— the
pursuit of truth — is symbolized
by the traditional lamp of know-
ledge which is reshaped to a new
design, the "M," representing the
spirit of Maryville; with a flame
at its top, representing the con-
tribution of one institution to the
perpetuation of the search for
truUi.
In essence, the eternal rays of
the sun, which form the back-
ground, symbolize the basic as-
sumption at Maryville that God
is the ultimate source of truth;
while the modern lamp of know-
ledge, properly set in the center
of the design, symbolizes the in-
tellectual and spiritual light which
the College has kept burning for
150 years.
A replica of the symbol will
hang in the Dining Hall during
Homecoming Weekend.
Patti Feller
Nancy Ryan
Four Member
Court Chosen
Patti Feller, senior psychology
major, has been chosen by the
student body to be the Queen
of the 1967 Homecoming festiv-
ities. The Homecoming court will
consist of four senior girls: Anita
Emerick, Danielle Markley, Judy
Morris, and Nancy Ryan.
The election was held October
17 after nominations were made
in a student body meeting the
previous evening. Doug Price,
student body vice-president was
in charge of conducting the elec-
tions.
The Queen and her court will
receive an all-expense-paid tour
of downtown Maryville Saturday
morning in the annual homecom-
ing parade. The girls will then be
escorted to the afternoon football
game, where they will be pre-
sented to the student body at
half time.
Patti's hometown is Donville,
New Jersey while those of her
court are as follows: Anita
Emerick-Greenfield, Ohio; Dan-
ielle Markley — ^^Cincinnati, Ohio;
Judy Morris — Windser, New Jer-
sey; and Nancy Ryan — Louis-
ville, Kentucky.
The entire College congratulates
these worthy representatives and
wishes them an exciting week-
end,

Editorial
Staff Welcomes Visitors
With this homecoming issue of the Highland Echo we of the
student body would like to welcome both the returning alumni and
the parents to Maryville College. We are sure that you will notice
many physical changes on the campus. New to most of the alumni
are the three modern, air-conditioned dorms. The massive brick
structure rising next to Baldwin Hall is also an impressive ad-
dition. Certainly this Sutton Science Center seems a superly stupend-
ous structure. (To many of us who have been watching its con-
struction it has appeared that the builders have been trying to
finish it for homecoming.)
It is hoped, however, that the less tangible changes at Maryville
will not go unnoticed. For all of us, 1967 is the year of the new
curriculum. Maryville has never lacked great educators or far-sighted
leaders; now administration, faculty, and student body are linked
within an educational program second to none in the country. This
curriculum, coupled with an increased dedication on the part of all
members of the college community, could remove all limits from
the potential of Maryville College.
Albert Camus said, "Greatness consists in trying to be great.
There is no other way." This is the mission which we who are a part
of Maryville College have before us — to become truly great as an
educational institution. We are on the threshold now; not to forge
ahead would be to deny our ability. A Maryville education has al-
ways merited great respect in academic circles, and before us now
stretches an even more impressive future. We must all be dedicated
to this pursuit of excellence as a college. Greatness is within our
grasp; we must reach out and take hold of it.
We ask those of you who visit our campus this weekend to tr;
to become absorbed in the spirit of change at Maryville. Look for
more than new buildings, for a college transcends its physical plant.
Examine a renewed sense of intellectual searching and direction.
Read the revised Statement of Purpose of Maryville College, a chal-
lenging and exciting foundation for a growing institution. And when
you leave the campus take an alive concern for Maryville with you.
We are all involved in this process of growth together: you are our
heritage and we are your future.

A DAY IN THE LIFE
by
John Lennon
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the
grade
And though the news was rather
sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lig'hts
had
changed
A crowd of people stood and
stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of
Lords.
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won
the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the Book.
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and
drank a
cup,
And looking up I noticed I was
late.
Found my coat and grabbed my
hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had
a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into
a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Black-
burn,
Lancashire
And though the holes were rather
small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes
it tfllcp^
to fill the Albert HaU.
I'd love to turn you on
LETTERS
Dear Editor,
W^ith regard to the "Negotia-
tion Now!" campaign being con-
ducted on campus and being sup-
ported by the newspaper, I think
that it is important that we con-
sider the nature of the war being
fought. According to theories

an interview in Playboy Maga-
zine and Edwin 0. Reischauer,
former ambassador to Japan, in

Editorial
Innumerable experiences continue to uncover a most disturbing
question: Am I protecting and perpetuating my invaluable right
to be me and only me? Almost without realizing it, I find myself
succumbing to advertising; imitating a parent, sister, teacher, friend;
conforming to what I think is expected of me, whether in fashions,
religion, or pattern of living. I'm a fool.
I am. Education teaches that I can be an individual. How? Do
I accuse the American Society for my lack of uniquity, or myself?
Who is to blame? Me. No one else is ultimately responsible. Sure
billboards line the highways, flashy colors decorate the A & P, radio
and tv tend to subvert, and schools dictate the same information to
thirty or forty stenographers at one time. But do I have to give in?
NO. Neither do I have the desire to conform.
But how do I avoid being one of many look-alikes, talk-alikes,
act-alikes, THINK-alikes??? At least I can't look like anyone else —
unless I wear a wig, undergo plastic surgery, have look-alike clothes.
But that doesn't matter — at least not as much as does THINKING
and acting the same as John Doe or any one person. I am what and
how I think and act. If I am decisive in my thoughts, no one can
daunt me; if I am weak, all will overcome me.
I think. I believe. But I am free to change or assimilate ideas.
That's part of thinking and part of me. But not all of me. I must
act according to what I believe, or I am not a man. And I must
speak or remain silent with conviction, or I am not me. It is my
beliefs which distinguish me completely from any other person.
This is my right to be me and only me.

is not based on communist ex-
pansion from Red China, but on
communist expansion from North
Viet Nam. The drive behind the
North Vietnamese policy is one
of nationalism and has been since
1945. Ho Chi Minh wants a uni-
fied state and has been fighting
for it for twenty years. The North
Vietnamese will continue the war
until the country has been uni-
fied or they are unable to func-
tion militarily.
We must accept the fact that
any negotiation will be one-sided,
as one-sided as the decision to
divide the country in 1954, at the
17th parallel. The nationalistic
north continued to harass the
south then, and it would now. If
we cease the bombing and fight-
ing, it will leave the door open
for the Viet Cong, Pathet Lao,
and government troops to con-
tinue their aggression in the
south with Sino-Soviet economic
and military aid.
If the South had not been com-
pletely dominated by Northern
economy and military, they would
not have considered surrender.
If the Germans and Axis powers
had been defeated by the Allied
forces, they would not have
capitulated. And as long as the
North Vietnamese government re-
mains dedicated to the overthrow
and domination of the south and
are financially and militarily able
to realize that desire, they will
not negotiate.
This entire campaign hinges
on the willingness of the North
Vietnamese government's accept-
ance of what they have, and they
will not accept this. When the
bombing was halted at Christ-
mas, troop and supply infiltra-
tion from the north increased.
If the bombing were halted to-
day, the infiltration would in-
crease, so the basis for negotia-

"Now Is The Time To Work And '27 scots visit
Learn": An Interview Witli An Artist
Karen Roewade, soprano, is intent upon becoming Karen Roe-
wade, person, to the students and faculty of Maryville College.
Elaborating on her theme of music communication presented in the
Oct. 4th convocation program, Miss Roewade strongly feels that
"music belongs to the whole school, not just to music majors." Her
aim, and that of the Affiliate Artist program, is to encourage interest
in the performing arts and a direct communication between pro-
fessional and student. Miss Roewade sees the program as "an
audience-building program whose main purpose is to prove to the
audience that they really matter."
The musical world. Miss Roewade believes, should not be foreign
territory to those not pursuing a musical career. Too often the
audience at a concert is composed mostly of other performers.
Seen on this campus, too, music majors attend other music majors'
recitals, while the rest of the student body, out of place and un-
interested, remain unaware of the opportunities to "feel the real
freedom which music allows."
As her part in the Affiliate Artist program. Miss Roewade will
serve as faculty member, performer, an official college ambassador,
and, she hopes, as personal friend to many of the students. Em-
phasizing the latter in discussing the purpose of music communica-
tion, she hopes that her stay here will help bridge the gap between
the professional musical world and that of the listening audience.
"We want to make people see that the arts are for them," Miss
Roewade points out. "The artist is as important as a dentist or
lawyer is to preserve society's well-being, for without the artist we
could not feel or see the expression of our deepest emotions.
"More important," she continues, "the performer needs his
audience. For instance, musicians go to football games and enjoy
being in the audience. In the same way that the player needs his
audience to do his best on the field, the musician needs the football
player and all kinds of people who enjoy being in the audience in
order for him to perform well on the stage."
In discussing the music for everyone theme, Miss Roewade
points out that it is never too late to learn to apprecaite music. She
used to sing jazz, branching out eventually to opera. In fact, Miss
Roewade says that she saw her first real opera when she was in
college. "If you care about it," she says, "it doesn't matter how much
background you have." Miss Roewade cited as an example the
founder of the Affiliate Artist program, Ed Warner, a Presbyterian
minister, who, at the age of 30, turned to singing because he could
no longer stand not to sing.
For those interested in music as a career, Miss Roewade has
plenty of encouragement. Although admitting that "it isn't easy;
there aren't enough audiences to go around," she nevertheless urges
young people not to quit. Here she mentioned Paula Ragusa, a friend
of hers at Northwestern, who was continually discouraged by her
strict drama coach, but who made it — as Paula Prentiss — in spite of
(or because of) her teacher. "It's never as hard as you think," Miss
Roewade smiles.
"College is the last bridge you cross before you enter the per-
forming world," she adds. "Now is the time to work and learn.'*
Miss Roewade hopes she can assist students bent on a musical career
by giving them an idea of what it is like in the professional world.
She invites all students to come talk to her, whether for professional
advice or for music appreciation.
"The main thing," she concludes, "is that you be able to relate
to me as a person, not a singer." Judging from Karen Roewade's
immense popularity already, that won't be too hard to do.

The Scots football team of
1927 will be honored preceding
the Homecoming game. This
team won the Tennessee College
Championship with an outstand-
ing year and the efforts of Coach
Honaker and Assistant Coaches
Thrower and Earl McCall.
This season started with a hard-
fought tie against the University
of Kentucky. Next came a defeat
by Tennessee Wesleyan 13 to 0.
The team showed its strength in
a very tough loss to the Uni-
versity of Tennessee 7-0. The
Scots played six more games
during the seam running up a
total of 214 points and allowing
only 6 to finish with a 6-2-1 re-
cord.

Dear Editor,
We would like to express our
concern about the "sweet decep-
tion" which was presented to the
Maryville student body in the
form of a "Negotiation Now!"
petition in the September 26th
issue of the Highland Echo. This
article states that an uncon-
ditional peace would be "the end
of uncompromising world
peace." We are warning the stu-
dents about this falsehood before
they find themselves advocating
the very war and bloodshed they
are so strongly against.
This "unconditional peace"
would either be a direct handing
over of South Viet Nam to the
communists or, if we prefer the
indirect approach, we can

establish a coalition government
which will inevitably suffer the
same fate as Poland and Hungary
did after World War II. Follow-
ing the communist revolution in
China, 23 million people were
liquidated in a massive purge,
simply because they were some
kind of threat to the people's
party. Where were our brave
young petitioners then with their
efforts to end the killing and
bring peace on earth? Which of
these petitions would like to
speculate on the number of help-
less people who would be purged
after the communist takeover in
South Viet Nam? Obviously, the
oposition to communism in
South Viet Nam in strong. Proof
of this is General Ky's over-
whelming victory over his opon-
ent who was apparently more in-
clined to negotiate with the com-
munists.
Obviously, Russia, who is al-
ways screaming "imperialism" is
herself the most imperialistic na-
tion today. Her definition of "un-
compromising peace" is an ex-
tension of her imperialistic arm
until it embraces the whole world
to the bosom of Mother Russia.
What will our brave petitioners
have to say or do when they find
they have compromised their
freedom to protest in their ef-
fort to establish that sweetly de-
ceptive "uncompromising world

Scots Get Ready
As the Scotties hustle onto the practice field from the locker
room one can hear the voice of Coach Tomlinson hurrying the team
out to practice.
The team forms up with Captain John Forgety and fullback
Alex Robbins leading the squad in a series of calisthenics to get
them warmed up for an afternoon of practice. The coaches stand
back and watch, occasionally encouraging one of the men to try
harder or giving the team, as a whole, a bit of "advice."
The warm up session is soon over and the coaches are again
hustling the team about. With the coaches and team in general the
by-word seems to be "hustle." Coach breaks the squad up into two
groups, one to practice defense and recognition of plays scouted
from the Emory and Henry "Wasps," the other to study and learn
to recognize Emory and Henry's pass plays. As one might guess,
this practice session, which took place shortly before the scots left
to do battle with the Wasps, is called play-recognition. The team
learns what to expect in its upcoming game and where it's weaknesses
will be on the various plays.
After a while of this sort of play recognition practice, the
groups are reorganized. One practices goal-line defense plays and
the other group consisting of the ends, linebackers and backs, run
pass defense patterns.
As this part of practice ends, the two groups join and practice
goal line defense. The players who are not involved study play
diagrams and watch. The team then drifts into a session of offensive
play patterns against our defense.
Meanwhile, further down on the practice field, the ends are
practicing receiving passes and running patterns for receiving. Our
kicking specials are giving themselves warm-up and practicing their
kicking.
The whole while this practice session has been going on, the
coaches are intently looking for weaknesses and giving the players
pointers to improve themselves and the team.
As practice draws to a close, the players come together and
do downfield sprints and running exercises. One player commented
that this was an easy practice. Apparently the team really gets
a work out on the other days with man to man blocking and practice
in tackling and getting tough.
After about two hours of this play-recognition practice, the
team gratefully rushes to the locker room and a welcome shower.

Winter Sports
Maryville College's winter
sports teams opened their practice
sessions this week with bright
prospects of successful cam-
paigns. The Basketball team, un-
der Coach Boydson Baird, open-
ed the season with their annual
three-mile marathon. The round-
ball squad is hopeful with four
returning starters and seven re-
turning lettermen. The Scots this
year will have some height and
rebounding strength in the ex-
perience of big men, Phil Bettis
and Jon Hancher; also this year
there will be a good deal of
depth on the Scots' bench. Along
with height the Scots will be
supplied with more than adequate
strength in returning lettermen
Dave Maxwell, Lynn Raby and
the strong leadership of Captain
Don Payne. Returning also is the
ever-present scoring threat of
Bill Padgett, who had a 28 point
average last year. The results of
the three-mile marathon are
being withhdfd as classified in-
formation in order to protect the
basketball team from an avalan-
che of cross-country scholarship
offers from larger universities.
Coach John Davis also opened
the 1967-68 wrestling practices
with the noticeable loss of four
starters from last year's team.
Coach Davis is depending heav-
ily on co-captains Ralph Johnson
and Rob Nicholas and his other
returning lettermen. There is also
hope in the freshmen class and
other returning men from last
year's team. The team will be
working hard for the tough open-
er against Appalachian State. It
looks like another successful sea-
son for wrestling under Coach
Davis.
C.L.R.
MONK DISCUSSES TEAM
After the third game of the 1967 season Coach Tomlinson had
some interesting observations to make about the team and Maryville
College.
The return of Mike Dalton arid the addition of Don Elia to the
coaching staff has freed Coaches Tomlinson and Kardatszke to
concentrate more time on some things that have needed more at-
tention in the past. Both assistant coaches have been "a great help"
to the formation of this year's team according to Coach Tomlinson.
Minor details are not minor anymore because more time can be
spent working with individual players. This years team is in the
second stage of a re-building program. The progress of the team,
week to week, impresses the whole coaching staff. As Coach Tomlin-
son stated, "The whole team is in the process of maturing." They are
maturing as a team, thinking as a team, and operating as a team.
The team is an extension of Maryville College and each student
should be a part of the team.
"I'm pleased with the support the school has exhibited thus
far," said Coach Tomlinson, "School spirit is as much a part of the
team as anything the team does." The spirit and support of the
athletic program is undergoing a rebuilding program also and is
on the rig'ht track. Your assignment as a member of the Maryville
College team is not as intricate as the halfback's, you are asked to
keep cheering and showing appreciation for the effort each player
and coach exhibits.
SCOTS DROP ANOTHER
After a scoreless first period, Livingston State unleashed a potent
scoring attack giving them a 42-7 victory over Maryville. The
game was played in Livingston, Alabama last Saturday night.
The Tiger's stayed on the ground, scoring on runs of 1,1,4,10,16,
and a 61 yard punt return. Maryville finally scored late in the
fourth quarter on a twelve-yard pass from Butch Crabtree to Brad
Beck. Maryville will now take a 1-4 record into the Homecoming
Game with Harding College on Saturday afternoon.

Onward, Christian Soldiers
The United Campus Christian Fellowship at Maryville College
(formerly known at the God Squad at Jesus Tech) is at times one
of those campus organizations everybody hears about, but few know
what it accomplishes or attempts. Freshmen are bombarded with
programs, speeches, skits, and booklets about UCCF, but the com-
munication of ideas, philosophies, and areas of involvement to
sophomores, juniors, and seniors is often weak or non-existent. We
hope to bridge this communication gap by presenting in a series of
articles UCCF's goals and ideas for this year, along with a picture
of the student Christian movement, nationally and internationally,
especially the University Christian Movement and the World Student
Christian Federation.

The Global Drive Of Black Power
.. . From The U. S. To North Vietnam
And Home Again
NEW YORK, October 12 — According to a magazine feature,
the current wave of Negro draft refusals is the same Black Power
wave that could lead to an eventual draft riot, perhaps even a mili-
tary mutiny. And all told, this widespread disobedience by a sizeable
minority could even bring the war in Vietnam to a sudden halt.
So says William Worthy, cor-

PLAY OPENING TONIGHT
A View from the Bridge, Arthur Miller's drama of a longshor-
man driven to a heartless betrayal by emotions which he never under-
stands, will be presented at the Maryville College Theatre tonigiit
and Saturday, October 27 and 28, at 8:15 p.m.
A classic modern tragedy, A View from the Bridge first ran for
nearly five months in New York as an emphatic hit. It achieved an
eight-months run in London.
A View from the Bridge details the violent happenings in
a dockworker's family when they harbor two Sicilian cousins who
have illegally entered the United States. The central character is
a kindly stevedore who has reared his orphaned niece from her early
childhood.
A crisis develops when the young girl falls in love with one of
the immigrants and the longshoreman finds himself trying to cope
with a violent inner reaction he does not understand. As his mental
stress mounts and grows into dangerous obsession, he is driven to
betray the boy to the immigration authorities. In a tragic climax
the lad's brother likes the half-crazed dockworker.
Philip DerPilbosian will play the brawny stevedore destroyed
by his own barely realized emotions, Carol Vandegriff is cast as
the spirited niece around whom a flood of vehement passions center,
while Bill Beasley will portray the immigrant youth she loves and
Jon Lutz will appear as the brother who champions his cause. EXien
Taschenberg will have the role of the dockworker's anxious wife.
J. Dalton Eddleman will direct A View from the Bridge for the
Maryville Playhouse. Tickets are still available at the theatre office.
Editorial
No matter what college or university, there is going to be
a certain alienation of the feelings and trusts of students to the ad-
ministration. No matter how small the college, or how open the
doors of the administration, there will always remain a certain tension
and separation. Because of this unique uneasiness, the passing of
judgment in disciplinary matters by administration, or committees
of the administration, will not have the desired feeling of finality
and justice by students. That is one of the unfortunate and unchange-
able facts of educational life.
The object of a judicial procedure is to enforce and to assist the
masses who live under it to live and grow with respect for the stand-
ing regulations of the community. A community lives by its rules and
regulations and if they are broken, there must be a judicial body to
pass judgment and to see that just penalities are prescribed.
The college community is not very different from any other
community which has laws and regulations. The only difference is
in the unique problem mentioned above: the alienation of students
to administration. It would appear that the solution to the problem
would be a judicial procedure that would be staffed by students
passing judgment over their peers. The problem of alienation would
be all but eliminated by a student judicial procedure. There would
be a sense of finality in the judgment of a student judicial pro-
cedure and there would be a greater feeling of "justice" when stu-
dents are judged by their peers.
There is a growing desire of the Maryville College student
body to have a greater place of responsibility in the decision-making
process of the college. There could be no greater responsibility than
a student judicial system on this campus. We students have asked
about the possibility of having such a system and we have been re-
minded of our right to present such a system to the Student-FacuUy
Senate, and that right will be exercised. There is a student council
committee that is working on proposed student judicial procedure
and it will be presented to the Student-Faculty Senate in its Novem-
ber meeting.
The proposed procedure will have a system of councils on the
dormitory level and will have at the top of the scale a council with
both appelate and original jurisdiction. This council will have
a bench of seven students: a ''supreme" council, if you like. These
councils would handle all cases of a disciplinary nature. They would
pass all judgments and give the prescribed penalities, with Presi-
dental review in the cases of expulsions. It would be in the hands of
the student body to regulate judicial procedure and to enforce
obedience to the existing rules and regulations.
The Student Judiciary would be another step in the progress
of our educational experience at Maryville College. It is a respon-
sibility of magnitude, but a responsibility which we as students have
a right to have. It is in our interests to see that justice is passed and
that respect for the passing of this justice is instilled. To quote the
National Student Association Student Power Declaration: ". . . stu-
dent power encourages self -development, which is an integral part
of the educational process."
We as students are ready for this responsibility. Let us see that
the administration realizes this and realizes that we want honest and
responsible co-operation.

Points to Ponder
what does the death of Che Guevara mean to you?
what does it mean when a peace movement leader says the movement
is going to become more militant?
have you read The Rebel by Camus?
what is chapel anyway?
were the peace demonstrators trying to exorcise their own guilt at
the expense of their cause?
can you support the troops in Vietnam and still be against the war?
have you talked with (not at) another person recently?
were you upset by the march on the Pentagon?
Do we really give a damn?

Editorial
The student body of Maryville will shortly be facing a key
issue in the area of student government. Read the editorial on this
page concerning the proposed student judicial system. Is this the
concept of maintaining discipline that you want to see introduced
to this College? The presentation here is admittedly vague. Soon
you will be given a detailed outline (prepared by students) of the
proposal for a judicial system that will be presented to the ad-
ministration for consideration. What is important now is whether
the student body is behind the basic principles of such a system.
Should students be concerned with maintaining their community?
Do we have a right of judgment by our peers? Are we mature
enough to assume the responsibility of such a system? If we are to
answer no to these questions, let us do so now before student
government goes out on a limb and asks for an aUstudent judicial
system.
The leaders of the student body support this concept. Editorially
the Highland Echo is coming out in favor of it. The administration
appears to agree with the concept. All this is meaningless, however,
unless the student body itself is behind the judicial system. Without
the support of most of the students, the new system will fail and we
will be back where we started with the old discipline committee.
If we are to have a student judiciary we must have student-based
support. Are you willing to commit yourself to such a system?
We students of Maryville College are well noted for our apathy.
All of us have for far too long been taking the attitude, "What the
hell? Why should I care? The administration will do what it wants
anyway." Now is the time to put aside such a petty attitude.
A student judiciary is something that cannot be handed down from
above. It cannot succeed as an executive council decree. It will only
last if the student body is behind the concept of self -discipline. Each
of us must now decide for himself to either accept or reject the
idea. Then we must make our decision known to our elected repre-
sentatives of the student council. Maryville College can no longer
afford to elect nice guys to council and then sit back and let them
try to run things on their own. Student council is not abstract from
the student body. Ask your representative if he knows anything
about the student judiciary. Is he in favor of it? Then make sure
he knows how you feel about it. Comer Doug Gamble and tell him
to stop frugging in the chapel and to start listening to your opinion
about this idea.
Very soon student-faculty senate will receive a proposal con-
cerning the judicial system. One of the first questions that will be
asked is, "Are you speaking for yourself or are the rest of the
students behind the proposal?" Let us make sure that our representa-
tives go into the meeting with an answer for this question.

Another new commission is the
Far Eastern Commission, headed
by Barb Roberts with Judy Han-
nah as vice-chairman. TTieir aim
is to promote East- West under-
standing and the realization that
although cultures, societies,
governments, and economics dif-
fer, the human element is very
much the same throughout the
world. They hope to accomplish
this throug-h the use of reading
lists, study groups, lectures, and
films about the Far East.
The Fellowship Commission's
nucleus is composed of the Nu
Gamma's, headed by Mary Jane
Schussler and the Key Men,
headed by Bob McEldowney.
They sponsor and organize cam-
pus social and recreational
events, such as the spring and
fall retreats, Christmas Read-
ings, the freshman picnic, the
spring fashion sihow, in addition
to welcoming the freshmen. Their
main project is Bamwarming, a
carnival-talent show type event,
held on Thanksgiving evening,
with the proceeds going to the
Fred Hope Fund. Bamwarming
has been changed to a psy-
chedelic "Bamhappening" this
year in an attempt to enliven an
old Maryville tradition.
The Lantern Commission op-
erates the campus coffee house
by providing stimulating and
controversial programs, discus-
sions, fellows4iip, and a place to
read and talk. The Lantern is
open Wednesday through Satur-
day evenings for coffee, con-
versation, and programs. Laurel
Erskine is chairman of this com*
mission with Steve Horton and
Betty Patterson as co-chairmen
of programs, Gretchen Alexander
as chairman of hosts and hostes-
ses, Jim Spotts as chairman of
maintenance, Deenie Barnett in
charge of kitchen. Candy Merritt
as treasurer, and Suellen Flem-
ing as art director.
Projects '68 is involved in a
witness and service to the com-
munity in areas of immediate
need through its smaller commit-
tees and work groups. This com-
mission, headed by Diraii Drake
and Martha Hegner, serves the
Home Avenue area, Asbury
Acres, the Boys' Club, the Girls'
Club, East Mountain View
Church, Hall High School through
tutoring, the Boy and Girl
Scouts, the Children's Home, and
the mentally retarded. Each of
these groups needs more students
to make their programs more ef-
fective.
The Worship Commission,
chairman, Geoffrey Skrinar and
vice-chairman, Deenie Barnett, is
renewing, augmenting, and in-
spiring opportunities and pos-
sibilities for worship among the
college community. The Thurs-
day night Pray-In's in the Little
Chapel, sponsored by this com-
mission, have presented exciting
and relevant ways of worship-
ping. Worship Commission also
hopes to encourage the frequent
observance of the Sacraments
and ordinances of the Church
and the use of services, hymns,
speakers, and prayers in ac-
cordance with the Church's
Liturgical Kalendar.
These are the places where the
action is in UCCF. We invite

A Commentary On Jay And
The Americans In Concert
In the flashing, electronic lights of the psychedelic rage came
Jay and the Americans, the popular songsters whose patriotic duty,
as their name might indicate, has consisted of hiding from draft
boards (according to Jay) and singing "Only in America." In con-
cert, something short of two hours last Friday evening in the STW
Chapel, the recording stars ran the gamut of vocal music from
operetta "Some Enchanted Evening" music to folk to rock to folk-
rock types. Interspersed in the program was humor (?), apology,
and intermission.

two such songs. Most important,
though, the Jay and the Ameri-

approach to the weekend.

Did Bob Dylan
Cry When Woody
Guthrie Died?
Hey Woodie Guthrie but 1 know
that you know
All the things I'm a-sayin and
many times more
I'm a'singin ya this song, but I
can't sing enough
Cause there's not many men done
the things that you done.
From "Song to Woody"
by Bob Dylan
Woodie Guthrie died a couple
of weeks ago. He spent his life
traveling around the country
making music. By rough count
he wrote around a thousand
songs, songs about the people,
their times, troubles, problems
big and small. He suffered for
the past 13 years with Hunting-
ton's Cholera, a rare disease of
the nervous system. In 1961,
while ill in Greystone Hospital
in New Jersey, he was visited by
a young guitarist in the same
folk tradition: Bob Zimmerman,
who would, under Woodie's en-
couragement, soon cut an album
as Bob Dylan.
Dylan grew and improved his
teohnique while always main-
taining his ties with the blues
guitar movement. His first album
contained his own songs which
became folk classics: "With God
on Our Side," "North Country
Blues" (the best of his early
blues songs) , and the song which
became the National Anthem of
discontented youth, "The Times
They Are A-Changin'." I have
heard two live Dylan concerts.
The first was just after the re-
lease of his second album, "Bob
Dylan." He talked a lot about
Woodie Guthrie between songs
in this concert, and dedicated his
"Song to Woodie" to the man
who he said was the guiding and
driving force behind his music.
At that time his voice was rough
in the best Guthrie tradition. The
New York Times music critic
said, "Mr. Dylan's voice is any-
thing but pretty. He is conscious-
ly trying to recapture the rude
beauty of a Southern field hand
musing in melody on his porch.
All the 'husk and bark' are left
on his notes and a searing in-
tensity pervades his songs."
Soon after this Bob Dylan be-
gan to change. "Another Side of
Bob Dylan" was his first really
uneven album. Some elements of
rock began creeping into his
style. His bubbling humor was
ever-present, however, in such
songs as "It Ain't Me Babe," the
silly-sad love song of a traveling
man. Hp really blew the minds

A PLAYWRIGHT'S VIEW OF THE THEATER
An Interview With J. Dalton Eddleman
Orson Welles once said that the theater is an anachronism, that
it is dying like opera and ballet. Mr. J. Dalton Eddleman, one of
the newest members of the Maryville College faculty, agrees with
this and admits that he "is frightened about the progress of the
theater in America." Mr. Eddleman feels that there was "no Ameri-
can theater until O'Neill," and since then there have been few plays
of great value. The decline of interest in the theater since World War
II is partly due to its commercialization. He feels that Broadway has
developeid a world of its own as have "off-Broadway" and "off-off
Broadway." For this reason, he remains in educational theater.
But what is the real problem? This young playwright explains
that the "people" of America do not experience drama. At first,
they loved the theater and even fought and rioted over plays as they
do over ballgames today. Although Mr. Eddleman is "not for social
riots particularly," he would like to see a revived interest in drama.
Movies and TV influence Americans, and usually there are "ten
relatively inconsequential movies to one or two serious dramatic
movies." Mr. Eddleman suggests that not all movies and plays can
be "artsy-craftsy;" they must meet the needs of the people. "People
are the materials with which a playwright must work — blood and
guts people."
Of particular interest, Mr. Eddleman notes the possibility of
using the Negro not only as subject and actor, but also as audience.
So far, no one has been successful with this. "The Negro has never
been portrayed in drama as a character of worth or as a character
of universal interest."
In his own play, "High John de Conquer," Mr. Eddleman pre-
sents the Negro and white together and tries "to indicate a quality
of non-condescension" in hopes of encouraging a Negro audience.
The production, of the play is supported by the Ford Foundation
which strives to utilize Negro actors.
As a dedicated playwright, Mr. Eddleman feels that the "only
hope is in the regional theater, such as Front Street in Memphis,"
because it provides a place for "young unestablished playwrights
like myself." People will read newspapers and novels, but, because
they are too close to events such as racism, they will not pay to see
the same dramatized. Thus, young dramatic authors have little
chance of success.
He explains, however, that the first Maryville Playhouse pro-
duction, "A View from the Bridge," has a "vital and important
role for College and community." It offers a "very candid hard-hitting
script." In this play, Arthur Miller deals with "real people who have
blood in their veins, fear in their hearts and who run from each
other and toward each other." Miller comes as close as any to pro-
ducing a modem tragic hero. Since he uses common men, many
critics feel that his heroes do not fit the Aristotelian model. Mr.
Eddleman suggests, however, that the idea of nobility is "ridiculous
for modern times." The hero in this play has a sense of destiny^ —
passion drives him to turn his back on loyalty. Because of its
vitality, a play of this nature is relevant here. It will not offend
any, and the "serious playgoer will have a theatrical experience."
Mr. Eddleman finds that the physical theater at Maryville is
excellent. Yet, "the College will have to take a different view of the
theater if it is to survive with any importance." At the present
time, the theater is just one of many extra-curricular activities in
which parents can see students on stage. It is more or less a "public
relations maneuver." Although the playhouse is good actor-wise and
technically, Mr. Eddleman sees room for expansion and notes
especially the possibility of experimental theater, student-directed
and student- written plays. The College should not deny itself of
this essential aspect of campus life. Tlie theater has great potential
if it can operate only as a theater.

pioneer in this field, explaining
that unless a musician grows he

second half of his act backed by
a rock combo. It -was that fall
that I heard him in concert for

disagreed with those who said
Dylan "sold out" with his music.
I agreed with the view that he after he became a commercial

a singer-song writer he has be-

Dylan has arrived and is content
to now lie back on his money-

the mythical man.
For every fear that mythical
man has, he rears a statue up
and says that this is the god of
rain or this is the god of sun-
shine. He cannot fathom beyond
the puddle of water or the ray
of sun that dried the puddle.
Mythical man has no set of facts
to state exactly why things hap-
pen. They just do happen be-
cause of his gods.
Mythical man looks at his
fellow and sees pure chaos. He
sees no hope in a world where
men gather together fighting and
hating. He saw no happiness
yesterday and will see none to-
morrow. His dark dungeon has
become so hellish that mythical
man breaks thru the rocks to the
top and sees light. This is where
the gods begin their role.
Kore never fails to spend her
one-third of the year under-
ground and her two-thirds of the
year on earth. If she were to
fail, fertility of the earth would
cease.
Mythical man has only to turn
to the god of his particular need
to gain consolation for his fear
(fear is used to describe all that
man doesn't understand. Man
does not fear what he knows).
Modern man has progressed
far in 2000 years. He can now
specifically state why a man dies
instead of just saying "the black
death." Man is digging deeper
into the ground, daring into the
ocean depths, and beginning to
pinch into the void space outside
of the earth's atmosphere.
Does the universe end? If so,
what is beyond it?
Perhaps life can be termed as
unreal. Can you prove that you
are really scanning over these
words and creating thoughts? If
a tree falls and no sensation of
it reaches a living being, it really
hasn't happened. By the same
token, if there were no creator,
then our life is uftreal because
no living being is sensing or ob-
serving our life. Man cannot ob-
serve man from a distance or
objectively. He would need to be
a superhuman or a god.
Man today (as mythical man)
wants something to fill in his vast
gap of uncertainty. He wants so
desperately to be independent
and harmonious with himself,
but he can't. Man is separated,
yet is a part of a much larger
scheme than lies in the realm of
mother earth.
Mythical man has a god for
each fear and we today have a
God for each fear also. Our
disquietudes may deal with dif-
ferent facts from 2000 years, but
all apprehensions are in the same
category or empty space which
seems to envelope mankind of all
ages.
We have turned over many
rocks only to find others hidden
beneath — other questions of deep
value unanswered.
Humanity, in its final, primi-
tive effort to live in peace, turns
to God.

tural offerings in the Washington
area. Jim Reynolds participated
in this program the second
semester of last year.
The Washington Semester Pro-
gram is open to Juniors and
Seniors, regardless of their major
field of study, who have had a
course in American National
Government and whose overall
grade average is not lower than
the line between B and C (2.5).
In exceptional cases a Sophomore
may be admitted. Persons in-
terested should apply before No-
vember 9 for the Second Semester
of 1967-1968. All applicants
must be approved and recom-
mended by their undergraduate
institution.
Inasmuch as tuition at the
American University is $840 per
semester and room rent for men
is $230 per semester for a double
room ($240 for women), it is
realized that some worthy stu-
dents would not be able to af-
ford the extra expense of such a
program. The Faculty Committee
on Student Help has indicated
that an award of $250.00 might
be made to a participant in the
Program in order to partially
cover the difference of costs be-
tween Maryville College and The
American University.
Interested persons should con-
tact Dr. Ainsworth immediately.

Harding College scored its
first football victory Saturday,
whipping Maryville 27-16, de-
spite three field goals by the
loser's Jimmy Cannon.
Maryville, losing its fourth in
five games, twice took the lead
in the first half before the
visitors from Arkansas went on
top at halftime.
Cannon's field goals came in
the first, third and fourth
quarters from 38, 28, 37 yards.
Howard propelled the Harding
attack with 165 yards rushing.
Cannon's first field goal
shoved Maryville in front, but
Bill Wates' touchdown put Hard-
ing ahead before Butch Crabtree
passed four yards to Rickey
White to give the Scots a 10-7
lead.
Dixon raced 33 yards early in
the second period to give a 14-10
lead and they never trailed after
that.
The teams swapped field goals
in the third quarter, but Randy
Delaet's plunge from the 3 boost-
ed Harding's lead to 27-13 mid-
way in the fourth quarter.
Harding's defense held the
Scots to a total net gain of 155
yards. Meanwhile the Bisons
rushed for 389 and added 101
passing.

Youth-ln-Revolt

Liberalism's
Failure
"American liberalism needs to
bring its commitments into
balance with its resources — over-
seas and at home," says Daniel
P. Moynihan, Director of the
Joint Center for Urban Studies
of M.I.T. and Harvard.
Its failure thus far to do so —
and its consequent failure to de-
liver on its overly ambitious
undertakings — are largely re-
sponsible, he contends, for the
disillusionment that has prompted
today's widespread radical pro-
test of American youth, and such
signs of danger as rioting cities
and turbulent campuses.
"Unthinking encouragement of
bloated expectation leads young
persons to compare forecast with
outcome and to conclude hypocri-
sy and duplicity are at work,"
writes the former Kennedy Ad-
ministration official in the open-
ing article in the special Youth
Issue of THE AMERICAN
SCHOLAR.
"What is asked of us is
honesty; and what that requires
is a great deal more rigor in
matching our performance to our
standards. It is now the only way
to maintain the credibility of
those standards . . .
"There is altogether too much
that is shoddy and derivative,
and in the final sense dishonest,
about American life . . . The
foundations of popular confi-
dence in our system are proving
to be nothing like so solid and
enduring as the confident liberal
establishment has supposed."
Mr. Moynihan suggests that

the current Playhouse season, Arthur Miller's A View from the iL, D 'J
Bridge. This drama was the first Playhouse presentation under the VlCW rrOIKl the Pridge
direction of J. Dalton Eddleman, the director of the theatre.
The action of the play evolves
around the happenings in a burly
dockworker's home when he and
his family attempt to harbor two
immigrant cousins who have
entered the country illegally. The
crisis of the situation arises when
the longshoreman's niece becomes
romantically invdved with one
of the cousins. Integral to the
story is the longshoreman's pos-
sessive attitude toward the niece,
whom he has reared like a daugh-
ter but loved, unconsciously, like
a lover. These factors lay the
ground for the violence which
ensues, including the killings of
the dockworker and the brother
of the niece's lover by each other.

Editorial
Why Compulsory Chapel?
Maryville College has had a tradition of compulsory chapel.
But then, Maryville College has had a tradition for practically every
aspect of undergraduate life. Like all traditions, this one of requiring
attendence at daily worship must be examined in light of its ap-
propriateness for today's college student.
"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him pray,"
is an American truism ( I think Mark Twain said it, or maybe it was
the supreme court). The college does not require worship — it can't —
it requires attendance. Surveying the bleary-eyed student body (and
faculty) at 8:00 in the morning should convince anyone that actual
participation in worship is limited to a distinct minority (the same
minority who would attend if chapel were not compulsory). The very
atmosphere is not conducive to worship. Announcements, awards, and
other hoopla — all good in themselves — make it difficult to achieve
a worshipful state of mind even for the dedicated few.
Merely changing the format of chapel to keep it strictly to
a program of worship is not enough, however. The fundamental
issue is whether the college has the right to force students at the pain
of expulsion to attend chapel. And if the college does have the right,
is mandatory chapel the best way to meet the problem of providing
situations for worship at a church- related college?
Academically Maryville is emphasizing the right of individual
choice in matters of class attendence. The idea is to allow each
person to develop as he sees fit within a stimulating curriculum.
Spiritually the idea seems to be to try to force the individual to
conform to (not grow within) a program stagnant and listless with
age. I personally find it unpleasant to be compelled to attend a re-
ligious service even if I am committed to the doctrine upon which
that service is based.
Of course someone will drag out the tired argument that
Maryville is a church-oriented college and anyone who does not like
chapel did not have to come here. I really can't see where being
church-related carries with it the obligation to cling to out-moded
19th century concepts of Christianity, ven if these concepts were
handed down to Isaac Anderson on tablets of stone. And apparendy
the recruiting program of the college is running into the problem of
many excellent prospects shying away from Maryville because of the
nature of the chapel program. It would be indeed tragic to see the
new academic emphasis hamstrung by a lack of qualified students.
What is advocated here is not the abolition of chapel. Maryville
is a Christian College and worship is a necessary and vital part of
the Christian community. Neither is a plan for a higher percentage
of chapel cuts being proposed. What is needed is a non-compulsory
chapel program where new, stimulating forms of worship are tried
in order to make chapel something that one wants to attend. Of
course it would be folly to suggest that there would not be a drop
in attendence. But is it better to have a full house of largely-empty
minds, or a small, fluid body of people really concerned with wor-
ship? Which is closer to the true Christian Church?
We certainly hope that this editorial will stimulate a response
to both sides of the issue. The Echo will be happy to feature a reason-
ed reply supporting the necessity of compulsory chapel, as well as
letters to the editor advocating its abolition.

Wake up! It is time to open our eyes and take a good look at
the situation that our college is in. We have to look into our student
problems and do something about them, and this has to be done
now.
We are into our eighth week now and the student body of
Maryville College is showing off its trade mark: painful unaware-
n^s and unimaginative apathy. Big things are about to happen on
this college campus and what will happen involves the student body.
Some great strides have been made up this point in spite of the
apathy on this campus, but if we can expect anything more to happen
it is going to take an interested student body.
The Student Council is hard at work and is making great
advances for the realization of honest student power on the Maryville
campus. Did you know about the proposed Student Judiciary? Did
you know about the possible change in the alcohol rule? Did you
know that there is disscussion as to the validity of manditory chapel
at Maryville? You have been told. You must know that these and
other issues concern you. But do you know that none of these things
will come about unless you the students of Maryville, the people that
should care the most, generate some enthusiasm and help with some
of the work that is involved. If you can't work actively, let the
members of the Student Council know that you are behind them,
and if you aren't, let them have some of your ideas.
Is there something about Maryville that you don't like? Why
don't you change it? You can you know.

Dear E^litor,
I am writing in response to
the editorial Elliot Ness. The
situation described was accurate
and "the new set of realistic
laws" is clearly necessary. I am
in agreement totally with this
idea of a new liberal alcohol rul-
ing.
If the students who are per-
forming violations don't respect
the law it is up to them to change
it. Until it is changed, drinker
and non-drinker are both living
in a private society and as citi-
zens should uphold this law. Dis-
obedience and rebellion of this
law will only serve to make the
faculty more resigned in the
archaic view that the use of al-'
cohol is detrimental. If we, as
students, want emancipation then
we must prove we are worthy of
self-determinism by living ac-
cording to the laws of our par-
ticular society. If social change
isn't forthcoming by recognized
means, then, and only then, are
we justified in violation of this
law in an attempt to relieve
bondage.
To conclude, as members in a
private society which is not en-
tirely free it is our duty to make
avail of peaceful means first to
promote change. A responsible

necessary. If after this attempt no

COMPULSORY CHAPEL
Question: Should Chapel at Maryville College be compulsory?
Kathie Trowbridge-Senior-
Christian Education Major
"No, I don't think it should
be compulsory because students
who really care will always go,
and those who study or sleep will
seldom be enthused. There is en-
ough other religious life on cam-
pus, and perhaps a different
type of service would be more
appropriate. A worship service
involves serving God in the way
a person wants to. Students
should be allowed to worship in
a way meaningful to them. I
know this is a church related
college, but how many churches
require attendance?"
Jim Cannon-Sophomore.
Chemistry Major
"I don't personally like to go.
Convocation is all right."

left up to his own personal belief
and have the opportunity to ex-
press it as best suits his needs.
I get a lot out of it and would
go anyway.
Don Brackbill-Senior-Phychology

"I can't see the need for chapel
other than a wake-up time. A

minutes before the Georgetown
game than from all the chape)
services I have attended."
Mary Jo Martin-Freshman
"I don't get much out of it.
People wouldn't go it weren't

thing from it. Chapel seems to
be repetitious anyway."
Steve Homing-Sophomore-

sented in chapel, and everyone
should go. It's part of a Uberal

ingful when it is not compul-

portant than just another de-

hemianism" and the "never-end-

Today's youthful rebels against
society, he says, may be embark-
ed upon "the first heresies of
liberalism," somewhat after the
manner of earlier groups of re-
ligious heretics to whom they
bear certain resemblances — in-
cluding the Christians of Second
Century Rome who were *' 'bad
citizens, refusing public employ-
ment and avoiding service in the
army' . . . They had no temples,
no altars, no images, and boasted
just that ... Of learning they
had little and cared less. Nor
had they any great interest in re-
spectable people who observed
the rules of society and tried to
keep it running, they cared only
for the outcast and miserable. To
be a sinner, they seemed to say,
was the one sure way to be
saved. They were altogether of a
seditious and revolutionary char-
acter."

dhange.
B. S.
Dear EMitor,
I hav9 become quite discour-
aged to hear the constant com-
plaints of my fellow students
around campus. Some students
feel it is a tradition to complain
about something, either the food,
attendance policy, or the courses.
The only thing I have to say to
these students is that they stop
trying to see the bad side of
Maryville College but to look at
some of the good qualities; such
as, that Maryville College is one
of the top thirty-five colleges in
the South, the well trained teach-
ing staff, and some of the liberal
rules which some of the large
universities don't enjoy. I feel
that the constant complainers
should take a look at the facts
and see just how lucky they are
to be at Maryville College con-
tinuing their education and
building a better future for them-
selves.
Sincerely yours,
James Burkins
Editorial reply:
I think that Mr. Burkin is
confusing complaining with
criticism. There is a valid and
very important distinction. I -
mig'ht also suggest that some
weekend he visit a large uni-
versity and then report to us on
the rules those students labor
under of which we are free. He
can borrow one of the 9 cars on
campus to get there. But he had
better not touch alcohol while
visiting, even if he is half a con-
tinent away from good old liberal
Maryville.

of the play. He gave a convincing
portrayal from beginning to end.
In this production Jon Lutz as
Marco, the avenger for his
brother and himself, reached a
new plateau in his acting in the
Playhouse. Lutz exhibited pathos
as the audience grew to feel the
compelling factors of his exist-
ence: the duty to his caretakers
in America and his duty in Sic-
ily. More things may be expected
of Mr. Lutz. In addition to the
fine direction of the play was
Dalton Eddleman's appearance as
Mr. Alfieri, an omniscient lawyer-
narrator who added to the unified
effect of the play by providing
the audience with additional in-
formation on the action. Mr. Ed-
dleman's apj>earance as actor as-
sured the audience of his pro-
ficiency in at least two areas of
theatrical production.
Steve Wintermute produced a
set which was unique without
being busy or confused. The
simplicity of the set, in fact, gave
greater leeway as well as respon-
sibility to the actors, to which
they responded effectively.
The general effect of the pre-
sentation was potent. It was a
good beginning for the Playhouse
season. Perhaps for the next
Playhouse production we may ex-
pect a better-than-average turn-
out from the college community.

The beginning of the 1967
footbaill season saw the Maryville
Scots in fine form. A winning
season seemed inevitable. As the
season progressed, however, it
seemed as though a dark cloud
had enveloped our fighting Scots.
The season opener placed the
Scots at Hampton-Sydney. A few
loyal fans found seats and watch-
ed their beloved team play a
great first half. The tide was
turned during the second two
quarters putting Hampton-Sidney
on top at the end of the game
14 to 10, sending the Scots home
to face Georgetown the following
Saturday.
A large crowd was at hand
and the Big Red rewarded them
with a T. D. on the first series of
downs. The Lion's defense
dominated the rest of the game,
however, and our visitors became
the victors. The defense of Mary-
ville must be commended despite
the outcome of the game. Twice
the Lions were held from scoring
attempts, and forced to try a field
goal. A final score of 12-7 shows
that this was a defensive game.
The coming of Mars Hill
proved to be a break in the dark
heavens. A fine game was play-
ed by our Big Eleven and a well
deserved victory was attained.
Again defense was the focal point
of the game leaving a 7-0 final
score.
The Wasps of Emory and
Henry jolted our boys on their
field. Thirty-five points were
scored against us in this game as
compared with only 26 pts. in
the first three games. This was
followed by a defeat by Living-
ston State the following Satur-
day.
The dark cloud seemed to be
persisting, brightened only by the
loyal spirit of the Scot's fans and
the now grim determination of
the team. Harding was our target
for the big Homecoming game.
Although the final score put
Harding on top 27-16 enough
cannot be said of the fine game
which Our Big Red played. We
were strong both on offense and
defense. After the game the fans
despersed, not with a feeling of
defeat, but rather with great
pride in the team who fought
valiantly in every moment of the
game.
The remainder of the season
will be in contention with
Millsaps, Carson-Newman, our
arch-rivals, and Southwesetm.
With the highest amount of
school spirit in two years, and
the great potential of our team,
these victories, especially Carson-
Newman, will come.

audience. Mr. West's fine port-

Maryville College was privi-

STUDENT COUNCIL PASSES CHAPEL RESOLUTION
Compulsory Chapel Opposed

Wanda Hannah
fenny Jett
Ralph McCambell
Scribner Messenger
Resolved: That we, the Student Council of Maryville College,
find obligatory chapel contrary to the spirit of a Christian
academic community. Justification of this position is based
primarily upon the following:
1 ) Our present chapel system is contrary to the spirit of the Collgee's
statement of purpose, which states that "an education that truly
liberates involves full and free exploration."
2 ) Required attendance at a worship service is contrary to the basic
tenemts of the Christian faith.
3) Academic penalty for non-attention violates the spirit of free
thought necessary in a learning community.
4) We feel that compulsory attendance, in fact, defeats both the
concept and the effectiveness of corporate worship.
May it be emphasized that our objection is not directed toward
chapel as an institution, but rather toward its legalistic and
compulsory nature.

AAUP Supports Student's Rights
WASHINGTON (CPS) — The American Association of Uni-
versity Professors has become the second of five national organi-
zations to go on record in favor of a joint statement on the rights
and freedoms of students.
The statement endorses such rights as a student role in policy-
making and due process for students in disciplinary cases.
llie AAUP's national council unanimously endorsed the state-
ment during a closed meeting here last weeJcend. Although the state-
ment still must be presented to the full AAUP membership at a meet-
ing next April, passage there appears likely. The Council is the
organization's policy-making body and its recommendations have
considerable influence on the membership. The Council consists of
30 elected representatives.
The National Student Associa-
tion was the first of the five
organizations to endorse the
statement. This action came at
the NSA Congress in August.
In addition to AAUP and
NSA, the statement was drafted
by representatives of the Ameri-
can Association of Colleges, the
National Association of Student
Personnel Administrators, and
the National Association of Wo-
men's Deans and Counselors. The
governing body of AAC will con-
sider the statement in January,
and the policy-making bodies of
NASPA and NAWDC will re-
view it next April.
These three hurdles for the
statement are considered tougher
than NSA and AAUP approval,
since these groups, particularly
the AAC, were more conservative
in their views during the draw-
ing up of the statement this
summer. A survey of college
presidents conducted by the
magazine College Management
showed that most of them agreed
with basic academic freedoms of
students in principle but were
Iras willing to approve such
practical applications as a free
student press and free choice of
campus speakers.
The statement is considered
significant because the bodies
which drafted it represent ad-
ministrators, faculty members,
and students.
Robert Van Waes, associate
secretary of AUP, said the AAUP
council was "very enthusiastic"
Con't. p. 3, col. I
On Tuesday evening November
7, the Student Council of the
Student Body unanimously
passed a resolution declaring its
opposition to compulsory chapel.
This stand is based upon the idea
that compulsory chapel is in op-
position to the academic and
spiritual rights of the student.
This resolution was the result of
a lengthy discussion concerning
chapel at the Student Council
meeting on Wednesday, Novem-
ber 1.
The discussion at the Novem-
ber 1 meeting of Council center-
ed around two areas of major
concern to the college: chapel
and student judiciary. With the
consent of those in attendance.
Student Body President, Doug
Gamble, dispensed with the
standard committee reports in
order to move on to the more
pressing business of the meeting.
Every representative attended the
two hour meeting with the ex-
ception of Alan Cropper, Junior
Representative.
The meeting opened with dis-
cussion of the chapel situation.
Comments were made as to the
o V e r-abundant announcements
and extemporaneous speeches
which generally detract from the
service. The set hour for chapel
received token attention. The
final concensus, however, was
that the basic problem lies with
the principle of compulsory
chapel, a supposed worship ser-
vice.
When Craig Rigell's motion
for the resolution was passed.
Gamble called on Brian Childs,
chairman of the Student Judici-
ary committee, to report on the
progress of that committee.
Childs stated that while the com-
mittee has been working on the
judiciary proposal to be pre-
sented to Student-Faculty Senate,
the area of legislation acts as a
stumbling block for a new ju-
dicial system.
Multiplicity and inconsistency
of rules are not new phenomena

COPENHAGEN, Denmark
(CPS) — The independent re-
public of Bird Island, situated
in the middle of a city lake here,
has declared total war on the
United States, according to the
British news service reporters.
The newly proclaimed republic
has a population of six. It would
have been seven, but one of the
founding fathers fell overboard
from the landing craft — a dinghy
— and had to swim back to shore.
Danish police on the Banks of
Lake Sortedamssoeen were mak-
ing invasion plans today because
the Bird Islanders — students
from an organization called
Zenith — refused to give up their
1 200-square-yard country.
The group has sent a telegram
to the United Nations seeking
membership and a cable to the
U.S. Embassy here declaring
total war.
2 - The Highland Echo, November 10, 1967
Editorial
Student Council is apparently overcoming its early inertia and
is beginning to deal with some of the pressing problems facing the
Maryville student body. It seems to have defined three issues as
deserving primary consideration: compulsory chapel, a student ju-
diciary, and the alcohol question. The first tangible sign of action
taken is the resolution recently passed concerning compulsory chapel
(the text of this resolution appears on the front page of this issue
of the Echo) .
Let us not worry that the "small" issues will be ignored. The
daily functions of Council are being performed quite adequately.
Most of the various committees seem to be actively engaged in
maintaining the normal course of campus activity. Minor problems
are being dealt with, for instance the notable achievement of con-
vincing Miss Ware to double the daily milk ration. (Miss Ware, we
thank you from the bottom of our better-fed stomachs.)
An ever-present danger, however, is the possibility of losing the
major issues in the trivia. In the past far too much time at Council
meetings was devoted to committee reports and aimless discussion.
The last couple of meetings have centered on significant problems
and it is hoped that the individual Council members will now devote
most of their time to the larger scope of campus activity. To insure
this, the student body should be constantly confronting Council with
opinions on issues. Students can exercise influence over matters
concerning the college. In an attempt to keep the student body ap-
praised of a current definition of "student power" the Echo plans
to serialize portions of a "Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms
of Students" prepared by various national educational associations.
The first installment of this appears on page 3. This should be vital
to everyone on this campus.
In order to implement the concepts in this statement, the Student
Council must be made aware of the opinions circulating among the
student body. Contact your representatives. Tell thern how you feel
about the way things are going. Even (horror of horrors) attend
a Council meeting — they are open to you, you know.
In the past Maryville students have been willing to sit back
and bitch at the student leadership without becoming really involved
in the problems. We can no longer afford this luxury. It is time to
realize that the only way actual program can be achieved is through
a student body that first makes its opinions known to its leaders,
and secondly supports those leaders in their efforts. Students of
Maryville unite! You have nothing to lose but your apathy.

Optimism was the reaction to the Convocation program when
it was announced. It was believed to be another fine part of the new
curriculum and that after a few stimulating speakers it would not
have to be mandatory : people can't be forced to go where they want
to go.
The feeling of excitement that was supposed to be generated
is not felt, and indeed it could be true that if convocation were
not mandatory the attendance would be remarkable low. What is the
problem? How could a very exciting method of our new educational
system become another Maryville pain in the neck?
The speakers that have been in the Convocation program thus
far have been highly qualified. There is no doubt about that. There
have been some interesting people and their points have been well
said. The problem is that we have not had a real dialogue. To become
truly educated, both sides of the issue, or issues, must be presented.
Could it not be possible to have two opposing points of view, in two
consecutive weeks?
We have had conservative Christains, a scientfic idealist and
dreamer, and a land-owning aristocrat from Viet Nam (w'ho,
of course, does not want his land put in jeopardy). Why can't we
have an atheist, or at least an agnostic, with something to say
about humanity. Why don't we have a peace advocate speak upon
the other side of the Viet Nam issue. (Perhaps we could have Eugene
Smathers, Moderator, General Assembly United Presbyterian
Church.)
We have a right to at least hear both sides of any issue. That
is basic to the educational process. If Convocation is not to help
us in our educational process, with dialogue, then we should have
been told. Up to now, it has been misleading.

fall." Is this important to the farmer? He's only staking his life

That sounds like what? — student government elections? How
stupid! . . . Why, what's with all this planting stuff? Elections —
that's just when you go and put an "X" for that nice guy who smiles
a lot.
Did you vote for that nice guy who smiles a lot? You should
run on over to a Student Council meeting some time — just to check
your harvest. He most likely will be sitting (at that round table),
watching (the discussion buzz by), and smiling (at how nice this
position looks on his record) .
This is a good time to observe that candidate whom you voted
for last spring. Have you heard that amidst the discussions in the
last Student Council meeting three representatives had not one word
to offer? Have you heard that two defeated candidates of last
spring were in attendance with pertinent comments . . . but no
votes? It might interest some people to find out that they are being
represented by a member who displays no opinion about such minor
matters as chapel or a new judicial system.
Whatever the situation, those of you who have some opinicm
might just think twice. Remember ... the smiler votes.

COUNCIL

been living by several different
sets of rules. Most common
sources for such rules are the
Student Handbook, Cues for
Co-eds, and the little rule book.
(This is the book which some
person of authority, i.e. campus
security officer, uses when he
needs a handy rule.) One exam-
ple of the inconsistency of the
stated rules is the rule concern-
ing "visiting in one another's
rooms by members of the op-
posite sex," which appears on
page eight of the Student Hand-
book. Last year this rule was
applicable to women as stated
in Cues for Co-eds, but there was
no reference to this rule for the
male population in last year's
handbook.
The basic question involved
here, of course, is the origin of
the rules which appear occasion-
ally without warning. From
whence do these rules come? As
one observant attendant stated,
"LSD comes on the scene. Life
Magazine runs an artcle on it,
and Maryville College passes a
rule against it."
Council hopes to move
rapidly in both of these areas.
These matters are indicative of
the rostd ahead for student
government this year.

yelled at for walking too loudly.
We really get to know the dorm

as much time to get to know the

Some day in the future (could it
be nearer than we think?) we
might get to know it. We might

then, keep trying, because we

now this typewriter is typing too

somewhat mid-Victorian rules.
We must respect other cultures,

JOINT STATEMENT
ON
RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF STUDENTS
National educational associations representing faculty members,
administrators, and students have developed this Statement on the
Rights and Freedoms of Students and propose it for adoption as
a joint statement of principle. Joint efforts to draft a statement began
in the fall of 1 966.
Under the auspices of the American Association of University
Professors, thirty-three representatives from ten national educational
organizations met in Washington, D. €., on November 13-14, 1966,
to discuss the academic freedom of students and to explore the
feasibility of reaching a consensus on standards in this area. Five
organizations — The American Association of University Professors,
the Association of American Onlleges, the U. S. National Student
Association, the National Association of Student Personnel Ad-
ministrators, and the National Association of Women Deans and
Counselors — participated in the planning of the conference. Five
additiorml organizations — the American Council on Education,
Association of American Universities, Association for Higher Educa-
tion, Association of State Colleges and Universities, and the Ameri-
can College Personnel Association — participated in the conference.
Those who attended concluded the meeting by concurring in the
establishment of an ad hoc committee to draft a statement for
possible joint endorsement.
The drafting committee, comprised of one representative each
from AAUP, A AC, USNSA, NASPA, and NAWDC, with the staff
assistance of Dr. Peter H. Armacost, A AC, and Mrs. Robert Van
Waes, AAUP, met in Washington on June 12, 1967. The joint state-
ment which follows is a mutual effort in every respect. While it
owes much to statements proposed by the AAUP, A AC, and USNSA,
the suggestions and perspectives of other educational organizations
have been taken into account. The result is a consensus that links
good standards to viable practices.
The Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students as
members of the academic community will now be submitted to each
of the ten national educational organizations that contributed to its
formulations for such action as their committees, commissions, and
governing bodies consider appropriate. It is hoped that a number
of these organizations will endorse the Joint Statement at an early
date. The statement should not be considered the official policy of
any organization until there has been formal action by that as-
sociation.
Preamble
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge,
the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the general
well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are in-
dispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the
academic community, students should be encouraged to develop the
capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and
independeait search for truth. Institutional procedures for achieving
these purposes may vary from campus to campus, but the minimal
standards of academic freedom of students outlined below are es-
sential to any community of scholars.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets
of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate
opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and
in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom
with responsibility.
The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions
conducive to the freedom to learn is shared by all members of the
academic community. Each college and University has a duty to
develop policies and procedures which provide and safeguard this
freedom. Sudh policies and procedures should be developed at each
institution within the framework of general standards and with the
broadest possible participation of the members of the academic com-
munity. The purpose of this statement is to enumerate the essential
provisions for student freedom to learn,
AAUP
con't. from p. 1, col. 4
about the principles of academic
freedom for students. He termed
the join statement "a big step
toward creating a national con-
sensus on certain student rights
and freedoms and a prelude to
ajdhieving a national concensus on
the student role in institutional
government."
Some of the major provisions
of the statement include:
*A long list of due process re-
quirements in major cases, in-
cluding putting the burden of
proof on the college and guaran-
teeing the student's right to de-
fend himself.
*The right to attend college
without regard to race, to invite
speakers of students' own choos-
ing, and to have complete free-
dom of off-campus action with-
out fear of university punish-
ment for the violation of civil
laws.
*Protection of students from
"arbitrary and prejudiced" grad-
ing by professors.
*A free student press. When-
ever possible, the statement says,
student newpapers should be
legally and financially autono-
mous from the university as a
separate corporation. When this
is not possible, the statement
urges a student press sufficiently
autonomous to remain a vehicle
for freedom of inquiry and ex-
pression.
The joint drafting committee
also made recommendations for
the implementation of the prin-
ciples outlined in the statement.
Perhaps the most significant was
the recommendation for joint ap-
proaches to regional accrediting
agencies to seek embodiment of
the new principles in standards
for accreditat'on.

charm and friendliness. All seems
the picture of happiness and
harmony. But there is discontent.
This school has recently insti-
gated a new curriculum, one that
is designed to make the student
think and examine his life, its
values, and the world in which
he will have to live. Its aim. is
to produce a more alert and
knowing adult. This school also
locks up its women students at
10:30 :p.m. five nights of the
week. It also requires them to
sign out and in if they wish to
attend a meeting, go to the
library, or go out on a date at
any time after 7:30 p.m.
It seems an ironic duality that
on the one hand this school tries
to make its students think, and
succeeds well, only to show that
I he students aren't really to be
trusted in forming values and ac-
cepting responsibilities. If the
school is using the curfew as an
enforcement of morals, the school
had better realize the truth in the
statement, "Love conquers all." If
the curfew is to make sure that
the students aren't out when they
should be studying, ^ then why
take the "shotgun" approach?
Why not set curfews and curbs
along academic instead of sexual
lines? I am sure the administra-
tion does not do this just to be
nasty to us, but I really can't
figure out their reasoning or see
how it applies to today's college
life. Curfews, sign-outs for dates
and studies, and "campusing"
should all either be eliminated
or extremely libralized. On week-
ends the curfew should be done
away with completely. Also, trust
must be shown by the administra-
tion, possibly with the institution
of an honor check-in system on
nights with a curfew. These girls
are not children. They are being
taught and trained to think
things out rationally as knowing
Christians, I, for one, feel it is
a time for trust.

30 Volunteers wanted for
Archaeology "digs" in
England in 1968.
A new and exciting opportun-
ity in England is now offered to
College students wanting to
spend next summer in Europe in
an interesting way.
You may help to reveal the
secrets of a Roman villa, an iron-
age hill fort or the structure of
a medieval town or Anglo-Saxon
cathedral before they disappear,
perhaps for ever. Expanding
housing programs, city centre
redevelopment and new highway
projects in Britain to-day have
opened up many new possibilities
for archaeological investigation.
You may help in this important
work, earn credits, make inter-
national friends and receive
valuable training in archaeology,
by joining a program sponsored
by the Association for Cultural
Exchange, the British non-profit
organization.
Volunteers first join a three-
week seminar for training in
British archaeology and excava-
tion techniques at Queen's Col-
lege, Oxford. They then split
up into small groups for three or
more weeks "digging" on an
archaeological site. Total cost of
the program is $725.00 in-
cluding round-trip air transporta-
tion from New York. Part scho-
larships are available to accept-
able student with a "B" plus
average.

mands of the adminislralion are
met.
Among other things, an organi-
zation which calls itself the In-
formers has demanded the dis-
missal of seven Grambling ad-
ministrators. They have also de-
manded that President Jones re-
sign his other position as base-
l»all coach.
Other student demands are
that President Jones:
— Improve unsatisfactory con-
ditions in the realm of ad-
ministrative policy and see that
the academics get primary stress.
— Perform his duty without
prejudice and despotism and
eliminate his paternalistic views
of student^.
— See that students' funds are
handled honesdy.
—Stress political awareness
among faculty members and stu-
dents, "thus providing a check
on the white power structure in
Raton Rouge."
Grambling has a nation-wide
reputation for its athletic teams.
The school has produced a high
number of professional athletes,
among them Willie Davis of the
Green Ray Packers; Ernie Ladd
of the Kansas City Chieftains,
and Willis Reed of the New York
Knickerbockers.
Saturday was Homecoming

CHEERING SECTION MX. - Millsaps Footkall Game
"Howie, Howie, Chilhowee . . ."
The Maryville College cheer-
leaders started off this year's
cheering season during the
second week of school with a trip
to Hampton-Sydney in Virginia
to cheer for the Scots as they
met the Tigers in a tough grid-
iron battle. Although the Scots
were defeated (it was close!)
and there were not many Mary-
ville fans in the stands, spirit
was high and the cheerleaders and
the spectators were really behind
the team all the way. The follow-
ing week elections were held, and
four new members were added to
the squad — Linda Poe, Larry
"Fang" Sharpe, Trudy Little,
and Rill Mathieson — plus two
new alternates, Jane Strickland
and Jerry Mullendore. The newly
elected members combined with
the "old" cheerleaders, Craig
Rigell, Lynn Anthony, Tom Gra-
hm, and Mary Sue Harris ,to elect
Oaig Rigell their captain for
the coming year. Under Craig's
untiring pep-ability the squad has
worked hard to build up the
spirit since little was left over
from last year. Posters and ban-
ners have been put up before
each game, and send-offs or-
ganized for the teams departure
for away games.
The squad has revived old and
nearly -forgotten cheers to the
usual list, and new chants, such
as "hey, whomp'em up side the
head." More practice has been
done on the various gymnastic
stunts that are used, and several
new ones have been invented for
more variety.
The cheerleaders unfortunately
have had trouble finding trans-
portation to most of the away
games, but they have made it
to Hampton-Sydney and Emory
& Henry and are currently work-
ing on plans which will hopefully
get them to Southwestern in
Memphis on November 18. Tlie
college band made it to the
Emory & Henry game last month,
providing both musical enter-
tainment and added pep and
spirit. The band always adds to
the cheers, and the cheerleaders
are always glad to see this en-
thusiasm.
The Friday before the home-
coming game on October 21 was
Color Day when the Scots turned
out in their patriotic school
colors of orange and garnet. In
contrast to this, the cheerleaders
have planned an Clash Day, to be
held on Friday the tenth, the day
before the Carson Newman game.
On Clash Day everyone is asked
to wear his most hideously
matching clothes. There may
even be a contest to find the
ugliest Scot.
A lot of work has been done
and a lot of time has been put
in by these Scot cheerleaders, but
it has been a genuine pleasure
for them to see the results:
plenty of spirit to support our
rough-and-ready team all the
way. Let's continue to show our
men we're behind them 100 per-

Coach Tomlinson's football team was disappointed last Friday
afternoon at Millsaps, Miss. The game resolved nothing ending in
a 0-0 tie. Maryville controlled the ballgame driving inside the 10
yard twice and inside the 20 yard line four times. The Scots were
not able to score on a muddy field in cold; windy weather. The
Scots' place-kicking specialist, Jim ('annon, missed two field goals
in the windy weather.
The Majors gained 155 yards on the ground compared to 145
for Maryville, but could only penetrate the Scots' territory once
when they missed their only field goal chance. Maryville's defensive
team turned in an outstanding performance in the game.
Halfback Lynn Dodez led the Scots rushing attack with 65
yards. TTie bad weather hindered the Scots' passing game as they
gained only 7 yards on 1 completion in 11 attempts. Roth teams
gathered 10 first downs.
Maryville is now 1-5-1 with games remaining with arch-rival
Carson Newman Novend)er I 1 at home and at Southwestern Novem-
ber 18.

"Can God Come?"
I am one of the flock that has
gone astray. Somewhere along
the way I got born into this
world. When I got here I had
no guiding hands or great pro-
tectors. Subsequently I took re-
fuge from the cruel world in a
church. One day a man said there
was someone who loved me. This
someone had been labeled as God
(definition of God— a personi-
fication of man, but He is per-
fect). I was told this God was
good. He was to be my guiding
hand. I, like a lot of lost kids at
the gullible age, believed it. Rut
as I grew this God grew too. I
wasn't afraid of this God. I want-
ed an education about this guy
because I knew there must be
more to him. I had no money
to further my education so I said
God is there a place I can go for
Iielp? The church has sponsored
four years of my education or
was it God? I came here to
major in studying my God. Little
did I know my education about
God was to come from living
with people. I have learned to
watch people because they teach
me about God. These past few
days I have become skeptical of
man, my teacher. If it weren't
for man how would I have learn- I
ed about this God. Rut now I
see man on the run from God.
I want to run too — because my
friends are going? Rut I can't
leave God. People have said read
the signs on the suubway walls,
look at neon lights, listen to
popular songs, read the poetry —
man is lost. Man keeps looking
for himself. In mirrors he sees
illusions of himself. Man is talk-
ing about God but "by God" he
is not living. Do all the search-
ing for your freedom. You want
your meaning of existence but
remember in each man lives his
own God even if it be himself
and when you run from God
you are running from yourself.
How long are we going to run
before man the machine becomes
man the reality. How many
churches are we going to destroy
before we realize they are our
foundation. Man where are you
going — can God come?
K.T.
On November 11, the Mary-
ville Scots face the Carson New-
man Eagles in Maryville's last
home game. This game as in the
past will be an exciting contest.
The Maryville vs. Carson-New-
man game has become an annual
event looked forward to by both
schools. Through the years the
Eagles have come to be the Scot's
greatest rival, and the annual
classic grows stronger each year.
In the light of Maryville's dis-
appointing 1967 season, I can-
not safely predict a triumph for
the Scots this year. Rut, with re-
ports of an unusually weak Car-
son-Newman team this year
neither can I assure a victory for
the Eagles. I do predict a hard
fought contest with a close score
deciding the victor.

NEW JUDICIARY FOR MC
iPrelucfe to FORT MUDCE
This will be a recurring at-
tempt (by those who somebody,
probably in a state of confusion,
elected as representatives to the
court of Saint Joe.) to relate
some reactions, hopefully re-
levant, about Maryville College's
future as revealed in reflecting
upon the constant state of catch-
ing diverse species of hell.
Fort Mudge is a memorial
dump (see Pogo) which contains
at least one of everything. A
column so titled three years ago
was well read. Usually all of it.
We hope this one will be.
FORT MUDGE
It is obvious that the white
Anglo-Saxon Protestant has be-
come a fading minority in the
world situation. The once power-
ful idea that the existence of the
Qiristian is the only existence de-
sirable is badly shaken. The size
of the Christian Church is shrink-
ing in relation to the world in
wihich it exists. As Mr. Cartlidge
put it, "Maybe the Church can
go back to being the church in-
stead of being an arm of Western
culture."
So what? Where does that put
us? Maryville College, like most
colleges related to the Church,
has made a definite theoretical
commitment to the Christian
faith. It has developed an educa-
tional philosophy, best revealed
on page eight of the Catalog,
which gives the student, in
theory, the bomfort of knowing
where the college stands concern-
ing the order of values.
The College assumes Christian-
ity's basic tenets and professes
a belief in the individual's right
to proceed "to establish his own
identity and his own assump-
tions." At Maryville, "the total
college experience is designed to
prepare the student for effective
participation and leadership in
the larger community of man-
kind."
We all have an educational
philosophy, whether we have ever
identified it or not. Is yours
Maryville's? O r Maryville's
yours? Or does it matter?
In order to participate to any
relevant degree in Maryville Col-
lege, we have to have a theory
about what a college rdated to
(but hardly supported by) the
Presbyterian Church ought to be
doing. In light of the world. The
whole world. Including China.
Your educational theory. Mary-
ville's educational theory. Simi-
liar? Not similiar?
Corit. p. 3, col. 4
The Executive Council has passed a new
Judicial System for Maryville College. This new
system is now in effect and is summarized in the
following paragraphs.
The system consists of two main branches:
the Judicial Council and the Review Board, or
Commission on Judicial Procedure. Members of
these two bodies will be selected by a Nominat-
ing Committee (Committee on Committees) com-
posed of six persons, three students, and three
members of the faculty. Dr. Shields is the chair-
man of this committee; also belonging to it are
Dr. Davis, Miss Lightfoot, Janet Wells, Meta.
Robinson, and Brian Childs.
The Judicial Council will be composed of five
members: two faculty and three students. The
chairman of this council will be a student elected
by the other members. The Review Board will
consist of three members: one student, one
faculty mem^ber, and the Dean of Students. This
body rules in cases of suspension only.
A case may be brought to the Judicial Coun-
cil in two basic ways: first, a case of discipline
on the dormitory level may be referred to the
Deans or to the Judicial Council by recom-
mendation of the Dorm Council; second; all
cases out of dormitory jurisdiction may be re-
ferred to the Council at the discretion of the
Deans' offices.
The Review Board hears cases of suspension
which the student in que^ion wishes to appeal
after the Judicial Council has come to a tentative
or preliminary decision. First it is determined
whether or not there is sufficient new informa-
tion regarding the situation to warrant consider-
ing it a "Review Case." If enough such infonna-
fion exists, the Review Board arrives at observa-
tions which are shared with the Judicial Coun-
cil. The latter comes to the final decision.
A record of documents (constitutions, regula-
tions of the college, etc.) will be kept by the Re-
view Boaird. In addition, a record of all cases
plus principles of interpretation of existing docu-
ments will be maintained in the Dean of Stu-
dent's office as a continuing workbook for re-
ference purposes.
YALE GOES
PASS-FAIL
NEW HAVEN (CPS) — The
Yale University faculty has voted
to replace numerical grading with
a system under which students
will be given one of four de-
signations for their work — fail,
pass, high pass or honors.
The new system will begin next
year and continue on an experi-
mental basis for at least five
years.
Yale's present system makes
use of a grading scale from 40 to
100, with 60 as the lowest pass-
ing grade. The university at pre-
sent compiles cumulative aver-
ages for each student, but it will
no longer do so when the new
system goes into effect.
The change at Yale is largely
the result of recommendations
made by the faculty's Course of
Study Committee, according to
Strobe Tallbott, chairman of the
Yale Daily News. Some student
organizations have been working
to end the numerical system,
however.
Derek Shearer, head of the
Student Advisory Board, said the
new system "moves away from
the pseudo-scientific claims of the
numbers system." He added that
"It should make for an improved
class atmosphere, for there will
be no more quibbling about num-
bers. There would, I hope, be
more concern for the quality of
a student's work in terms of his
ability."
Still undecided is the question
whether or not the university's
two academic honor lists — the
d'ean's list and ranking scholar
designation — are to be continued.
Talbott is hopeful they will be
aboHshed, but indicated that the
new grading system will have im-
portant consequences for students
regardless of what is done about
the honor lists.
When students apply to grad-
uate school in the future, accord-
ing to Talbott, "recommendations
are going to be much more im-
portant than they have been.

UCM SPEAKER
Dr. Reinhart Wolff, a post-
doctoral student in sociology at
West Berlin University, spoke at
8:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Fine
Arts Center music hall. His an-
nounced topic was "Viet Nam
and the Cold War," and a ques-
tion and answer period foUowed
Dr. Wolff's talk. An informal
session with students followed in
the campus coffeehouse, the
Lantern.
Dr. Wolff was brought to the
Maryville campus by the UCCF.
He was a foreign student dele-
gate to the University Christian
Movement's Process '67 and
Qeveland Week held in Qeve-
land, Ohio from December 26th
— January 1st. Since Cleveland
he has been visiting college and
university campuses in the U.S.
for West Berlin University. Dr.
Wolff is also a member of the
University Christian Movesnent
of Germany.

2 - The Highland Echo
EDITORIAL
The Highland Echo, as it has in the past, hopes to be one of the
main arteries of campus communication. The idea of "maintaining
a dialogue" is of utmost importance. By means of letters to the editor
each member of the college community is free to express his view-
point on various issues. "Graffiti" will remain, according to its
original conception in the Echo, as a page of opinion. Articles of
exposition or opinion which are of interest to the college community
will be accepted for publication. In these ways the editorial position
of the Echo stands unchanged.
Freshmen philosophy students were informed by Mr. Cartlidge
that they would find in the course of their education both room and
freedom for disagreement. Perhaps the Echo will be the stimulus for
this disagreement. If this be the case, let all members of the college
community — students, faculty, and administration — bear in mind
Nietzsche's idea that "the surest way to corrupt a young man is to
teach him to esteem more highly those who think alike than those
who think differently."

Legislation Rocky Ground
In the October 27, 1967 issue of the Echo the students of
MaryviUe College were introduced to the idea of a new judicial
system — a system which would, because of its careful creation, be
most effective in carrying out the object of a judicial procedure.
This object, as presented on the "Graffiti" page 'is to enforce
and to assist the masses who live under it to live and grow with
respect for the standing regulations of the commnnity." I'his is an
admirable objective, indeed, and the new judicial system as present-
ed in this issue looks to be the "careful creation" which can aspire
toward its objective.
Upon careful investigation, however, one may anticipate rough
waters ahead for this new system. The quotation above alludes to
"the standing regulations of the community." Several questions
might be given some consideration at this point: Is the new judiciary
going to be able to function properly while trying to enforce "laws
which seem archaic to us, are foreign to us, and are not supported
by us," as one student has expressed the situation? What "standing
regulations" are the judiciary going to enforce? As it stands, Mary-
viUe College has yet to develop a cohesive set of rules and regulations
under which a judicial system can function.
Inherent in these two questions is another problem — that of the
origin of rules and regulations that are to be enforced under
a judicial system. Rules have had a way of passing in and out of
existence with litde ado. Such was the case concerning the use of LSD
and other drugs at Maryville — a prohibition which just reached the
Maryville scene this year. It was not publicized by what means this
rule came into existence. Another ruling of even more hazy origins
concerns the hours for recreational activity. For at least the past
four years, students have been able to use the Intramural Gym for
a Sunday evening basketball game. Without notice the gym began
to be locked at 5:30 Sunday afternoons. Who can or who is going
to explain this particular ruling? (Chances are that anyone who
intends to investigate its origin might save time in starting higher
on the administrative chain of power than the office of the Dean
of Students.) This ruling, of course, is not nearly so important in
essence as is the means by which it was created. Similar rulings, in
origin, can come into existence just as easily as this one did and
we have little reason to believe that this will not happen again and
again.
A codification of the rules and regulations seems to be the
necessary drawing-in which would "assist the masses ... to live and
grow with respect for the standing regulations of the community."
While a legalistic state of affairs sounds rather ominous at homey
Maryville, the student would get a clearer picture of the "everlasting
yeas and nays" under which he is actually living anyway. A well or-
ganized legislative structure with the Code as its product would
hopefully discourage "independent study" in the field of legislation.
The January issues of the Echo will feature discussions and
explanations of the organizations which play some part in the
legislative process at Maryville. It is hoped that students will
familiarize themselves with the functions of each. It is fairly certain
that in light of this information the student body will be able to
appreciate the merits of the new judicial system as well as the prob-
lems which will inevitably arise upon its facing the present legisla-
tive structure (?).
j.b.
In the January 15, 1%8 issue of Hresbyitiian Life there is an
article by Robert McAfee Brown on why he is against the war in
Viet Nam. The Echo would like to receive any answer to Rev.
Brown's article which will challenge his position. If the Echo receives
no i^eply may we all assume that no such challenge can be made?
Does anybody care?

EDITORIAL
Sometime ago mention was made of the right to remain silent.
With this goes the right to speak. That is, each man has the
privilege to state his opinions, beliefs whenever and wherever he
sees fit. The catch is that, in doing so, he must consider that others
in his presence have the same right.
One weekend early in December, I had a most disturbing ex-
perience. In discussions that began with fruitful, constructive ef-
forts, the fashion soon became to see — and hear — who could inter-
rupt someone else the quickest. Too bad. Many sound ideas were
lost in the batde of mouths and wits.
Somewhere I learned to let a man reveal his point of view
before attacking him. It's only rational. After all, how can a man
fight unless he knows what his fighting against? A good speaker is
skilled in the art of listening.

Editorial Comment
I hate to be like the grim reaper at a wedding but I suppose
the truth must prevail. Before we all wish each other a happy new
year we should think about it first. Is it going to be so happy?
None of us are prophets or were meant to be. But it takes no
person with mystical foresight to see into our near furture.
Thousands will die on the highways. More will die in escalated
foreign wars. We can expect a long hot summer in 1968. Some see
nothing but . . . Burn, Baby, Burn. People really are starving in
India. (But really, do we give a damn?) 10,000 will die by ac-
cidental gun-shot wounds and there is no telling how many more by
non-accidental gun-shot wounds or rope wounds or knife wounds.
Not that we should all throw our 'hands in the air and lock
ourselves into our rooms in despair; that isn't practical. What we
really must do is . . . well some say it isn't going to be a happy
new year. What are we going to do about it?

tditor:
I am not in the habit of writ-
ing "letters to the editor," but I
vvould like to register my own
reaction to the resolution which
the Student Council passed re-
garding chapel.
As I see it, there are many
"good" reasons for not wanting
to go to chapel: you stayed up
too late the evening before, you
have to study for a test, you don't
feel like singing at 8:()0 in the
morning, you don't agree with
some of the things that go on in
chapel, to mention a few. But I
don't find any of these "good"
reasons expressed in the Student
Council resolution. Instead, "com-
pulson chapel" is apposed for
reasons of highly questionable
Dear Editor:
The article of November 10,
1%7 _ "Can God Come?" —
really hit home. I, too, have seen
four years of my college educa-
tion supported by the United
Presbyterian Church because it
would have been impossible
otherwise.
Somewhere along the line, I
threw away the sunday school
God, the God of my own "or-
ganized" religion, and underwent
a period of agnosticism. I be-
came somewhat apathetic and
quite critical about what was
happening outside myself. Rather
I looked at what was happening
inside myself. I wasn't happy —
I was dissatisfied, but I knew
that 1 needed something with
more meaning in which to be-
lieve. So I searched — I read
many books on theology — and
I became even more depressed
about what I couldn't seem to
find within myself, until I read
the late Paul Tilloch's Courage to
Be. God is "the ground of my be-
ing" — no old man in the sky for
me. And God is within me — not
in the church I have chosen to
"excommunicate" myself from.
Worship is with my fellow man
— not sitting in a pew looking at
the back of someone's head, but
rather in a grungy room talking
to the tear-streaked mind of a
friend. God is there — in the
reality of the dust on the floor,
the clutter of a special study-
laden desk, and the face of a real
person.
God can come with us — He must.
Sincerely,
Sue Carico
validity.
Let us consider the reasons one
by one.
( 1 ) "Our present chapel system
is contrary to the spirit of
the college's statement of
purpose, which states that
"an education that truly
liberates involves full and
free exploration'."
I suspect an unstated assump-
tion underlying this statement
that the word "free" means with-
out regulations. Anyone who
thinks about this for more than
two minutes knows that this is
nonsense. We live in a "free"
country but we have always had
laws, police departments, and a
judicial system. I am not free
to shoot my neighbor if I don't
like him. The Christian faith is
characterized by great liberating
freedom, but anyone who knows
anything about church history
knows that within a decade or
two after its founding certain re-
gulations were found necessary
to deal with those who did not
use their freedom with respon-
sibility.
The college requires various
core courses and hopes that there
will be "full and free explora-
tion" within those areas. In a
sense, this is an infringement on
the student's "freedom," He
cannot limit his "full and free
exploration" to the field of his

I heard this in Spanish over
Christmas vacation. In the tran-
lation I hope that none of the
beauty has been lost. It is an
old Spanish song and I think
one of the most moving ones that
I have ever heard. It makes one
wonder if there are any white
angels and it is as simple as that.
ANGELITOS NEGROS
Painters of my country ! Paint-
ers everywhere! Although the
Virgin was possibly a white wo-
man, it wouldn't be out of place
for you to render a black angel.
Good black people go to heaven
as well as good white ones. You
always paint the Nativity with
lovely blonde angels. But if you
paint with love why do you con-
sistently neglect the black ones?
You know that they are in heaven
and that God loves them too. You
paint all the saints in the alcoves
of the churches white. Never
once does it occur to you to paint
a black although you're sup-
posedly painting people whose
souls were good in their bodies.
Yes, you always paint fair
angels in the churches, but never
does it occur to paint a black
one.

college major. He must broaden
somewhat. By requiring partici-
pation in chapel, the college is
trying to insure that the vital
area of spiritual awareness may
also receive "full and free ex-
ploration" and not be neglected
as is the case in so many Ameri-
ran colleges and universities.
(2) "Required attendance at a
worship service is contrary
to the basic tenants of the
Christian faith."
This too is based on some
faculty thinking. Just about every
major Communion of the Church
has some regulation regarding
■'required attendance." For
Roman Catholics, attendance at
Sunday Mass is obligatory, Pres-
byterians covenant to make re-
gular use of the means of grace
one of which is regular at-
tendance at services. Episcopal-
ians, Methodists, and most other
bodies have similar regulations
usually including some procedure
for removing a person's name
from the official rolls if the re-
quirement is not followed with a
certain frequency. Therefore, if
the Student Council's second
point is correct, the vast major-
ity of church bodies in the world
operate "contrary to the basic
tenents of the Christian faith"
in this respect. Maryville College
is unashamedly commited to the
Christian faith, and it follows
that one would expect some re-
quirements of attendance at ser-
vices.
(3) "Academic penally for non-
attendance violates the spirit
of free thought necessary^ in
a learning community."
This statement seems to imply
the same questionable use of the
word "free" as the first point.
It also raises the question of
the meaning of that often used
term "academic." If we use the
root meaning of the word, name-
ly, "pertaining to an academy or
school," one could hardly expect
anything other than an "aca-
demic" penalty since chapel is
a part of the academy.
The fourth point st^ms to me
to be the only one about which
some intelligent discussion might
be carried on.

PROCESS '67
The Cleveland Week
Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox member groups of
the University Christian Movement presented UCM's first major
conference: TTie Cleveland Week of Process '67, December 26, 1967
— January 1, 1968, in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland Week was
the twentieth in a series of international quadrennial conferences.
It brought together 3,000 people concerned with social change
through the reformulation of the university including members of
university communities (students, teachers, administrators) ; repre-
sentatives from a wide range of U. S. life — from religious and
secular institutions and colleges, from Negro colleges, from urban
ghettos; and students and resource people from abroad who repre-
sented diverse international perspectives. Students from Maryville
participating in the conference were Deenie Bamett, Wanda Hannah,
Steve Horning, Sue Ketchum, June Rostan, Jim Reynolds, Geoffrey
Skrinar. Process '67 and the Cleveland Week embodied a style of
education which was dialogical, nonauthoritarian, issue-or problem-
centered, and future-oriented. These are some reflections from
participation in that "happening" . . .
SNEA Explores Desegreation
At a Teacher Education and School Integration conference,
December 7 — 10 in Memphis, sponsored by Emory University and
the Student National Education Association, 120 college students and
faculty explored the various problems and situations which are in-
volved in teaching in a desegregated school. A number of primary
and secondary school teachers and principals were included as re-
source people, to relate some of their personal experiences and to
give us some insiglit into teaching in an integrated classroom. These
Negro and white professionals created an awareness of the many
possible situations that may occur. A day was spent in the Memphis
schools, observing and talking with teachers about how they teach
children from lower socio-economic-class families. Margaret Ander-
son, author of the book Children of the South, told how the lives of
the children in Clinton, Tennessee, were affected when the schools
were desegregated. ^^^^ having known individuals be

ON GOVERNMENT
The following article is the first of a three-week series in an
o<bjective effort to inform the students and faculty of the machinery
involved in governing a group of people, and to stimulate awareness
of and concern for problems which may arise in maintaining a man-
devised system of government.
The Student-Faculty Senate is the only organization within
MC's operational structure between the Student Council and the
Executive Council of the Faculty. Its primary function is that of
a recommending body. It has no final authority, legislative or
judicial.
Senate consists of sixteen persons in addition to the Presidents
of the Student Body and the College, who alternate as chairman.
The eight students are elected by Student Council from its own
membership. The faculty representatives are appointed by the Presi-
dent of the College.
The United Campus Christian Fellow^ip and The Women's and
Men's Student Government Associations are represented by non-
voting members, usually their Presidents.
Although Senate is structured as a go-between from Student
Council to the Executive Council and vice versa, its practice is
usually limited to that of receiving motions from the Student Coun-
cil. Such motions are debated and either rejected or sent to the
Executive Council.
Motions to be accepted in theory are often altered in form by
Senate before being sent on.
Senate meets at least once a month and occasionally more
often when specific needs arise.
Discussion in Student-Faculty Senate has become mu<ih more
open and honest in recent years. Most policy changes which have
been made at student request have been considered intelligendy and
responsibly by Senate before being acted upon in some manner by
Executive Council.
There is a growing number of students and faculty who feel
that this body could and would, if allowed, be quite able to handle
increased responsibility.

Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee, January 19, 1968
No. 9
CHAPEL, SOCIAL INVESTIGATION REQUESTED
Well girls, you've just been
told you can wear slacks — after
certain hours, that is. I suppose
next you'll be permitted to wear
patent leather shoes. Land sakes!
"Oh foo, I felt it coming along
time ago, but I thought surely
that permitting them to smoke in
the student center and letting
them come in at night at 10:30
would quiet them for at least an-
other 149 years." Who said that?
We need curfews and locked
dormatories to protect the girls —
from what? Themselves? After
students at Maryville squall just
so long about matters such as al-
cohol and automobiles, a long
silence ensues. Does anyone ever
stop to think why? If anyone has
surmised that it might be pos-
sible that they are content with
the rules, guess again. Room in-
spections at this school? "Ab-
surb!", said I, "A person should
be allowed the rights of privacy,
even in a private institution."
Oh, oh, wrong again, Dougie. Big
brother is watching you. Con-
trary to popular bdief, privacy
does not entail telling the rest of
the world to go to hdl while you
sit behind closed doors wilii a
cuddly mate, by your side and
Chivas Regal in your hand while
everything else passes you by.
But now we're treading around
responsibility whic*h is another
matter altogether. More privil-
eges for the privileged? There is
always that danger, of course. Of
course, there is also the possibil-
ity that some people might want
some straws removed that may
be giving a heck of a backache
to an otherwise rather healthy
camel.
Maryville is an exceptional in-
stitution with the most admirable
of goals. If one takes time to re-
iew the statement of purpose of
Maryville College he will see
some remarkably promising state-
ments. Our commitment is "to the
Christian faith"; our purpose is
"the pursuit of truth in concept
and in life", our experience here
is "designed to prepare the stu-
dent for effective participation
and leadership in the larger com-
munity of mankind." If Mary-
ville is able to meet its own chal-
lenge it may number itself
among the best. The student
must,meanwhile, claim some of
the responsibility for his own
preparation.
For one thing one might con-
sider that on the outside some-
one dse is protesting the South-
east Asia involvement of the
United States. Black Power does
not always mean Carmicheal and
Brown but Black Power is often
represented by Carmichael and
com. on p. 5, col. 3
At a Student Council meeting held on January 15, the follow-
ing request for investigation and recommendation concerning cer-
tain aspects of campus life was made public. This proposal is sub-
ject to the approval of the Executive Council of the Faculty, which
will meet to approve same on Monday, January 22.
"We feel it necessary that the recendy constituted Committee
on Committees (see Echo, Jan. 12— Ed.), chaired by Dr. Shields,
select a committee charged with thoroughly investigating the effect-
iveness of Maryville College's present chapel system. This commit-
tee is to consist of fourteen members, half of whom shall be stu-
dents. It should determine its own chairman and methods of proce-
dure, making sure that all possible expressions and considerations
be examined.
"It shall prepare itself, by whatever means necessary, to pre-
sent a recommendation of its findings about the most effective form
for Maryville's religious expression. This recommendation should
reach the Student-Faculty Senate no later than February 28, 1968.
"Student-Faculty Senate should then evaluate this recommen-
dation and pass its own recommendation to the Executive Council
of the Faculty for consideration beginning March 3, 1968. The Ex-
ecutive Council should then express a reaction before the end of the
Winter Term.
"We also feel that the Committee on Committees should be
charged to appoint a committee to investigate and analyze the pro-
cedure by which regulations relating to the students' social exis-
tence are determined. This committee is to be made up of ten mem-
bers, half of whom should be students.
"It shall determine its own chairman and procedure, making
sure to examine all possible expressions and considerations. It shall
prepare a recommendation as to the most fair and effective met-
hods to be used in determining and modifying all regulations con-
cerning the social existence of the student body. Its findings shall
be presented to the Student-Faculty Senate by the first Wednesday
after Spring Vacation.
"The Student-Faculty Senate shall evaluate this proposal and
report its own conclusions to the Executive Council of the Faculty
for rapid evaluation."
Perhaps it deserves being reiterated at this juncture that Stu-
dent Council meetings are open meetings. Interested persons are in-
vited and urged to attend.
FACULTY RECITAL TONieHT
Dan H. Kinsinger, tenor, will
give his faculty recital this eve-
ning, January 19, at 8:15 in the
Fine Arts Center music hall.
Accompanied by Robert J.
Bonham of the music faculty,
his program will include num-
bers by Charles Gounod, Hector
Berlioz, Gabriel Faure, and Ric-
hard Strauss. For two numbers
he will be accompanied by Ma-
ryville College students. Kath-
leen Saint, a sophomore cellist,
will play as he sings a "Solo
Cantata" by George Handel. For
"Blake Songs" by Ralph Vaug-
hn Williams, he will be accom-
panied by Edwin Best, Jr., a
senior dboist. Mr. Kinsinger will
conclude his program with
"Songs of Solomon" by George
Rochberg.
An Assistant Professor of Mu-
sic, Mr. Kinsinger has been at
Maryville College since 1954.
He earned his Master of Music
degree from Northwestern Uni-
versity at Evanston, Illinois, and
has completed his residence and
course requirements for the doc-
torate at the University of Illi-
nois. He is now writing his the-
sis and expects to receive his de-
gree next summer.
Besides his teaching duties,
Mr. Kinsinger is quite active in
DAN H. KINSINGER
music events and civic activi-
ties. He was recently enjoyed by
Maryville College students and
people from the surrounding
area when he soloed in Monte-
verdi's "Magnificat" and Hand-
el's "Messiah."
All students and the public
are cordially invited to attend
Mr. Kinsinger's faculty recital
tonight. "Hiere will be no ad-
mission charge.
No man is an lland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the
Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the
Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as
if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death
diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore
never send to know for whom the hell tolls; It tolls for thee.

PEACE CORPS
DEFERMENTS
Washington — The Peace
Corps announced today it will
intervene on behalf of Volun-
teers seeking draft deferments
for two years of overseas ser-
vice.
Agency Director Jack Vaug-
hn, concerned by mounting in-
duction calls to Volunteers serv-
overseas, said he will take an
"active role" in seeking future
deferment cases before the Pres-
idential Appeal Board — the
court of last resort for draft re-
classifications.
In the past the agency per-
formed a largly informational
function — advising Volunteers
and trainees of Selective Service
laws and procedures and con-
firming to local boards the fact
of the Volunteer's service.
In future appeals, Vaughn
will write letters to the board de-
scribing the circumstances in
each case and urging board
members to grant a deferment
" until completion of the Volun-
teer's overseas tour.
"We have a serious situ-
ation," he said. "The problem
of induction notices to overseas
Volunteers is becoming a major
concern for us. Pulling a Volun-
teer off a productive job at mid-
to tour overseas. Their appear-
ances abroad have included
tours through South America
and the Orient as well as per-
formances at the American Pa-
vilion at the 1958 Brussels
World's Fair.
The New York Woodwind
Quintet will present a clinic for
area musicians Saturday, Janu-
ary 27, in the Fine Arts Center.
This appearance of the quintet
is in conjunction with the Art-
ist's Series program, and will
follow their January 26 per-
formance.
Information regarding reser-
vations for the clinic may be
obtained by contacting Mr. Dan
B. Stallings of t h e Maryville
College faculty, who is in charge
of the clinic arrangements.
tour is unfair to the nation, the
host country, the Peace Corps
and the individual."
Vaughn said Peace Corps
Volunteers have lost about 60
deferment appeals before the
three-man board in the last six
and one-half years. While ad-
verse rulings by the national
board have involved less than
one-half of one per cent of the
estimated lS,000 draft-eligible
men to have served in the Peace
Corps, "virtually all of these
have oocured in the past year,"
he said.

Editoral
At the opening of a school year, one naturally expects that cer-
tain prevailing deficiencies will find some remedy while the year
unravels before him. When, in January, the deficiencies have either
not found their remedies or have rejected them, there is definite
room for alarm.
What greater deficiency can there be at an institution of high-
er learning than plain old apathy, of which you have heard so
much? The newspaper as a communicative device has presented
you, sometimes consciously, sometimes not, with entries to awaken,
enlighten, or shock you. "Who cares" and "So what if" are only
two expressions which have attempted to carry the present times to
you.
While there is some amount of griping among MC students a-
bout the social life and the food, it appears that not only are many
students failing to see the whole world as their community, but they
are also failing to see Maryville College as their community. (While
I will uphold or defend the qualities of neither food nor general
social life, does it not seem strange to you that many of the "bitch-
ers" about the social life at MC helped to make the Josh White con-
cert a financial failure for the Pop Concert Series — a branch of
student government? . . . Who was it who said, "Put up or shut
up?)
One of the key words of the decade is "involvement". What is
involvement? Is involvement only made up of doing some positive
act or are we showing out type of involvement by doing nothing?
Recently a quotation from Goethe caught my attention. Let me so
share: "Behavior is a mirror in which everyone displays his im-
age." Everyone is an important word here. While we might find an-
onymity in the megalopolis, can we really hope to find it on a cam-
pus of 800? No one is lost at Maryville . . . everyone plays some
role ... no one can play no role. There is need for a decision : See-
ing that I MUST by my existence play some part, what kind of
part will I choose?

Below is presented to you the results of a poll on drugs — a top-
ic if interest and/or controversy among millions of people, our age
and status. Some few might wonder at its appearance on a page
generally given to "editorials." While such a few responses could
hardly be labeled representative of campus opinion, such a sizeable
number of those were traced to the Echo staff, that we wUl enter it
as representative of the staff's opinion on drugs.
j.b.
Results of the Poll on Drugs in the Echo, November 3, 1967
1. Just your best guess. What percentage of college students in the
nation as a whole woulcryou say take drugs such as LSD or
Marijuana? The average answer was 3-10%.
2. Just your best guess. What percentage of college students in
your own college would you say take such drugs?
The average answer was 1% or less.
3. Do you personally know any students who have taken such
drugs?)
Yes 50%
No 50%
4. Have you yourself, ever tried: Marijuana? LSD?
a. Marijuana Yes 25% No 75%
b. LSD Yes 10% No 90%
5. What do you think are the main reasons that college students
take drugs? Fad, group acceptance, escape, rebellion, curiosity,
to find self.
6. Do you think the taking of drugs is likely to increase, or do you
think it is a fad that will die out?
It will increase.
7. Why do you feel this way?
The pressures of the modern world are great and people are
searching for something to rely on.
8. What is your mental picture of the type of college students who
goes in for drugs? How would you describe him?
Not any one type. One person commented as follows: "two images:
a free thinking individual who wants to make his own decisions
and one who is trying to escape and is following for kicks."
9. If you were a parent with a son (daughter) at college, what
position would you take in regard to the use of drugs?
Most people said that they would be against the use of drugs, but
several commented that they would explain the danger and then
let their child decide.
These answers are based on twenty replies to this poll.

REBUTTAL
In vespers this past Sunday Mr. Haydn White spoke on "What
of the Institution?" subtided "What's Wrong with the Church?"
His opening statements showed clearly that he was defending the
organizational church. This in itself is noble. Also noteworthy is the
fact that Mr. White recognizes new developments in the present-
day institution. But it was his tone of presentation which evoked
my wrath and almost turned me off.
Perhaps this comment is a bit unfair to those people who did
not hear Mr. White's point of view (and perhaps also to Mr.
White), but I would here challenge his opinion — either stated or
implied^ — that the young person who criticizes the church is being
unnecessarily destructive. He has misconstrued the feelings of a
large number of persons. I for one feel a great disillusionment with
the institution as it is today. At the same time I believe in God,
Christ, and the necessity and mission of the church universal. But
I could reject the worldly church today and still be able honestly
to call myself a Christian. Some people my age feel that they must
turn their backs in order to be honest with themselves. Some have
tried in vain to re-vitalize the congregations of which they are a
part. (Perhaps we are too impatient, but I think not.)
We see the institution as being stagnant and irrelevant. The
organization of churches into national and international bodies is,
I agree, necessary in order to attempt the mission of the church.
But what of the local institution in the metropolitan or rural area?
It needs vitality within itself so that the members can minister to
their friends enemies, and neighbors.
Change must come. And it is only too simple to allow it to en-
ter. A different order of worship, fresh hymns, litanies, dramas,
services in music, a meaningful tempo for hymns and other music
(it is hardly possible to endure "Joy to the World" to the speed of
"Dear Lord and Father of Mankind"), outdoor services, all of
w*hich must in time also evolve into or revert to something else.
Isn't it possible to educate people to change, or must the church al-
ways be comfortable security?
Many of us do want the church even though we criticize or re-
ject the institution. "The dead sticks outside of the church," as Mr.
White denoted non-members who appear to be devoid of all concern,
are not necessarily un-committed (Christians. It's just that our com-
plaints are expressions of our efforts to make Christ and the church
relevant to us today. The problem is not new, but it is real to us.

TO THE EDITOR:
To whom it may concern:
I have caused an ugly wound
t o inflame itself and become
cancerous. Yet I further demon-
strate my conscience because no
one else has volunteered. If you
are indolent in spirit, apologe-
tic, preoccupied, in a foul mood,
lazy, or fawning upon words of
others, read no further.
The scene: a muHcy coffee-
house emblazoned with impres-
sionist "statements" and stark
souvenirs symbolizing outrage;
fifty very earnest near-adults
testifying to each other at scat-
tered tables; anticipation of
provocative discussion of an an-
nounced topic for which guest
"resource people" have been in-
vited. You were there. I wish I
hadn't been.
I recorded interesting glimp-
ses of my friends in various
poses of anger, despair, bitter-
ness, vindictive hell-raising, and
"let's-be-reasonable-ness". And
most of you had an opinion you
thought worth airing. That was
encouraging. My eyes smarted
with the sparkling smoke billow-
ing from passionate gushers of
20th-century Man! For we had
come because we were agreed
that America and its black (al-
so red and yellow, I think) in-
habitants had a serious aliena-
tion problem. We agreed, "the
facts are undeniable," and we
agreed.
And where did we go from
there? To a Christian Call for
Action? To discuss solutions to
cumbersome bureaucracy? To
proclaim that educational insti-
tutions have a responsibility to
guide character and attitudes?
Toward none of these effort*—
in fact, we made no effort at all,
in any direction! Lack of time?
God knows we wasted time: He
stood outside in the cold, pat-
iendy waiting to be invited in.
What was the point of Raisin
in the Sun? Or its value? I
learned nothing from our ado-
lescent flummery. Of course,
some tried to create sincere
statements of their own that
rang true and mature. Damn
your deluge of borrowed idea-
logy, slogans, and pettiness that
smothered this originality! 1
left the Lantern uneasy, simmer-
ing, and TURNED-OFF— that
means prejudiced af^ainst fur-
ther discussion.
More than one thinker who
should have known better said
something like this: "It's too late
to educate away our prejudices.
We're rotten, washed-up. Let
their revolution take its toll
now ! " Personally disgusted,
caught-up, but detached, don't
you think? How about this:
"We've got too many problems
for us to handle. The Man has
got to give us a chance, that's
aU." Maybe true, yet the big-
picture facts of a success trend
leave some doubt. My point?
this dogma is not new, it is not
constructive, it is trite, trite,
trite.
I offer five theses to redirect
our thinking toward contribution.
First, endless cataloging of "race"
problems makes us "black-con-
conscious" and discourages sol-
utions to disunity. I speak as one
who realizes pettiness in public
places has perverted natural
brotherhood.
Second, the main social pro-
blems throughout the world to-
day are of unscrutable origin,
vast, and complex. They can be
solved, and only in a vast, com-
plex, and painstaking way. Re-
ducing them to simple formulas
is politically expedient; also ir-
rational, irresponsible, and pro-
bably disastrous.

Josh White, Jr
Reinhart Wolff
Although hampered and hindered by bad weather, airline inef-
ficiences, and general bad luck, Josh White, Jr. appeared at Mary-
villa College last Saturday light in what was one of the best pop
concerts of the past three years. The snow necessitated his landing
in Chattanooga, and he made the drive in a record dangerous hour
and a half, without guitars but with his incomparable talent and
good showmanship.
Mr. White's fine voice and excellent, subtle humor permeated
the rather small audience and made the wait for his appearance
seem negligible. His sensitive treatment of the music and his infect-
ious wit established an immediate rapport with the audience which
is unusual in any performance. Jewels among the numbers were
"What Now, My Love?", "Up a Lazy River," "Suzanne," and the
hauntingly beautiful "Impossible D r e a m." "Tie Me Kangaroo
Down, Sport" will remain with the members of the audience as one
of the freshest, most enjoyable bits of humor imaginable — mildly
racy but in perfectly good taste. The interesting lighting effects
added a great deal to the general good time mood of the show.
Special recognition should go
to several members of the stu-
dent body: Doug Gamble for
his collected cool; Al Keim for
his Marlboros; Dana Paul for
his twelve-string guitar, which
Mr. White used along with one
of Pete Park's while his own
were coming from Cleveland or
Adanta or Knoxville (or is that
too close?): and further laurels
to Pete for singing from 9:00 to
9:30 to keep the incoming au-
dience in their seats, tranquil,
and relaxed.
Aside from being a good per-
former, Josh White, Jr. seems to
be a generally fine fella. Acco-
lades to the Student Council for
bringing such outstanding tal-
ent to our campus.

How Now, Brown Cow?
Bobby and Bill met on the
neighborhood playground. They
followed each other up the slides
and tossed a little football back
and forth. They watched the big
kids scramble into the school
bus, and they liked to play with
Ruff, Mrs. Henry's spaniel. One
day Bobby asked if Bill could
eat lunch with him. Bobby's
mother smiled and said "Cer-
tainly!", and Bobby and Bill
ate together and laughed until it
was time for Bill to return
home. Bobby waved goodby
Dr. Reinhart Wolff was, for
the most part, unappreciated on
this campus. His problem was
that he did not fit the mold of
the normal guest speaker at
Maryville College. He did not
bring the staunch conservative
argument of last year's lecturers
for the American Studies semi-
nar. He did not bring the moral
tone of some of this year's con-
vocation speakers. In general,
he stood up for an unpopular
(not to be confused with un-
American) cause.
He brought us none of the
apathy and "anti-eggheadism"
of our community-minded stu.
dent body, but instead brought
us student involvement and sense
of awareness. Living with the
knowledge that apathetic stu-
dents had once allowed a Hitler
into power, and with the con-
viction that it must not happen
again, Dr. Wolff t)rought us an
example of what significant stu-
dent protest can be.
He showed us that dissent and
protest are on a much higher
level than merely "the groovey"
thing to do. In the words of
Senator J. William Fulbright,
". . . if one feels certain that she
(America) has the capacity to
be doing very much better, that
she is falling short of her pro-
mise for reasons that can and
should be overcome, then ap-
probation is a disservice and
disservice and dissent the high-
er patriotism." This, if nothing
else, is what Dr. Reinhart Wolff
told all of us.

What Price Freedom?
Is he a man?
In many ways he is, but in others just a small boy;
A boy-like man of twenty years.
Twenty years?
Now that's not a very long time,
But time enough to live and learn.
Learn about life;
Life with its ups and downs, laughter and sadness.
He's a man in his own attitude, a boy in his actions;
Actions sometimes hidden by childish fear and obligations,
But symbolizing a future of contentment and glory.
Yesterday, a mere boy, out of love and life;
His goal — a shining future.
Today a cloud hangs high above.
Shadowing his love for life in an overwhelming obligation.
An obligation that from the outside seems like a two-year jail
sentence,
But once within it, an enormous quest.
Family, relatives, friends, and one particular being: a girl.
Whose tears are not those of sadness.
But of a rare, deep and sincere pride.
This love will never die,
And because he is far away.
Living in deep loneliness and being forced to be a man.
This love will grow more everlasting and sincere,
Not only by those few chosen loved ones,
But by an entire nation.
A nation which is free and stronger than all others.
This was and still is yours.
You own this nation, for it is you who strives to protect us.
While you are a million miles away.
Our country is still here, safe and free.
Living and growing, awaiting your safe return.
What you're about to face is not heaven nor hell.
It's not life and it's not death.
It's merely yourself.

PART TWO
ON eOVERNMENT
The Women's Student Government Association of Maryville
CoUege is an organization in which all resident women hold mem-
bership. WSGA, concerned with the strengthening of individual
character, underlines the importance of responsible freedom. To in-
sure the best interest of the community, certain regulations are nec-
essary and have evolved through experience.
WSGA, associated with the national organization Intercolle-
giate Association of Women Students, functions in the following
manner: Every dormitory has a house chairman, secretary, treas-
urer, fire captain, and floor representatives. TTie house councils are
responsible for upholding cooperative living within the dormitories.
The Coordinating Council, consisting of twelve elected members, is
the legislative body which coordinates the work of all the house
councils. Forming the Coordinating Council are the president and
vice president, positions of senior status; the secretary-treasurer, a
junior, and two representatives of the junior class; the house chair-
men of each of the dormitories (three sophomores and a senior) ;
two freshmen representatives; and an lAWS correspondence con-
sultant. Women students are encouraged to offer opinions of sug-
gestion to the representative council members. The Coordinating
Council's function of policy-making occurs as those matters of con-
cern for women students are enacted, with the cooperative judg-
ment of the Council and the Dean of Women. Constant revision is
made of the regulations throughout the year with a through study
of the handbook made in the spring of each year. A further func-
tion of WSGA is the sponsorship of the Sophomore Aide, Junior
and Senior Counselor programs in the dormitories for freshmen and
sophomore women.
The Men's Student Government is composed of four officers
and a chairman for each of the three men's dorms. The four offi-
cers make up the Executive Council.
Meetings are held once a month or more frequently if the need
arises. These meetings are open to any individual of the men's
dorms.
Responsibilities of M.S.G. include settling any problems aris-
ing in the men's dorms, deciding on financial matters, arranging
for open houses, and contacting speakers for each dorm. With the
guidance of Dean Edward C. Thomas, M.S.G. handles all policies
pertaining to male students living on campus.

sions, telephones, telling us. Mov-
ing forward — constantly improv-

cular. Wake up tomorrow —

And one thing led to another.
History says the pendulum
swings from left to right. How
can we stop the phone ringing,
the presses — why bother. If it
tops, so do we. If not tomor-
row, next weeJc — your phone

many — both — (but not by him-

thing but the group. Television,

the world is talking — there's
something being said. Tomorrow
it's history. Tomorrow, tomorrow,

ain't creeping anymore — it's run-

Third thesis: most of what we
commonly consider "race pro-
blems" are problems that con-
cern us as universal humans in
the broadest earthly sense. We
call them "race problems" be-
cause of our love for labels that
disengage us from personal com-
mitment. Our obstinancy to pet-
tily categorize is our greatest
hindrance. Dogma should be
junked. This you know.
I rejoice for those who anti-
cipate my fourth thesis: Each
of us can most effectively enrich
the universal community of
God — does that mean something
to you? — by making personal
fulfillment our whole-hearted
pursuit. That is modern, pro-
gressive— as always. I did not
say self-interest comes first. You
know my context. I can hardly
resist a mammoth outpouring
here, but I wiU. Let's launch a
frothing dialogue at this point!
I propose a problem-solution
chain I wish revolutionaries
would remember: Love .... Con-
cern — Faith — Initiative —
Skill — Confidence — Guts —
Love. And complete maneuver

he smiled with us at the adver-

ed we can accomplish. I pro-
claim this to Maryville, to the
nation, to the world! We can
do! Christianity is a working
man's religion. It is not for the
timid. Realize our power, and
get it in gear. We are respon-
sible.
That's all for now. But you

Dear Editor:
What would do if you were a
Student Council representative
and someone asked you,"What's
happening in Student Council?,"
and all you could do would be to
restrain yourself from saying
"How the hell should I know?
I'm only a peon member." Of
course, if someone does a^ what
student government is doing, I
don't make a reply like that, but
that's very often what goes on in
my head before I try to answer
my inquirer in a more civil, or
couth manner. Now I ask you,
Mr. Exlitor, isn't that just about
beyond the realm of conception;
wouldn't that make you do a real
SLOW BURN??? Here you are
an elected member of a suppos-
edly intelligent, well informed or-
ganization and you're not even
close to being well-informed.
Ya' see what I mean? Wouldn't
you be a tinge perturbed in this
situation, Mr. Editor? As a mat-
ter of fact, I'd like to go on re-
cord as saying that I'm disgust-
ed, sick, puzzled, and p.o.'ed
about the 1967-68 Maryville Col-
lege Student C o u n c il . I'm
GROSSED OUT!!!!!!!
My reasons? I'd be privileged
to inform you and your esteemed
readers.
First, of all, there's this huge
void of information. To the best
of my memory Student Council
hasn't met for over six weeks, and
I haven't heard any rumors that
would prevent this from extend-
ing to as much as three months.
(For undisputed justification of
my gripe might I refer you to the
Constitution of the Student Body
of Maryville College, Article III,
Section 4-a.) Whatever has gone
on in the past six weeks or so
I've had to find out for myself.
Second, there is no spirit in
Student Council. Your paper,
Mr. Editor, screams about apa-
thy. Did you ever examine
Student Council real carefully? I
mean, so carefully as to question
the spirit being generated right
up through the president? There
isn't a whole bunch, is there???
Third, there is no complete
coverage of Student Council hap-
penings in your paper, Mr. Ed-
itor, (when and if there are
any.) I mean, things do happen
besides the Judiciary and basket-
ball on Sunday afternoon — ;don't
they ? I must admit that it sounds
a little "Mickey Mouse" and
and would hog a lot of costly
space, but I think the informa-
tion ought to be there even if
only one person reads it — me!
Fourth, I'd like to speak of
purpose, or rather the virtual
lack of it which manifests it-
self in the student body, the Stu-
dent Council, and even in your
paper a little bit, Mr. Editor.
What is the purpose of the Mary-
ville College student body, any-
how? Can you honestly say you
reflect this purpose, or even what
you think it should be? I won't
bother you with something as
elementary as this though 'cause
I can see the answer now. "How
can we (the members of the Echo
staff) reflect pure apathy. . . ?"
There wouldn't be anyone left
to write those helart-grabbing'
editorials. At times, that might
be an honest-to-God blessing.
As my fifth grief I'd like to
point out some insincerity, which
may be purely conjecture on my
part. I'm speaking of the current
Chapel protest movement. Don't
get me wrong, there's a lot of
truth in both the Student Coun-
cil proposal and the slightly mild-
er, parallel faculty sentiment,
however, there seems to be a
hollow ring in the voices of many
of the anti-eight o'clock advo-
cates. I mean, those who are sin-
cere I would support like a mar-
tyr— right down to a boycott.
But, to those of lofty speech and
dubious sincerity (who just want
an extra half hour of rack time)
I would like to extend to them a
most sincere "go to hell." — Hy-
pocrites bug me; you'll have to
excuse the rp«^ tone.
Pessimism is my sixth and
final hangup. As I see Maryville
College today there seems to be a
prevalent air of pessimism on
campus. Others might term it
apatiiy; I call it cultured, or in-
graiiie^l pessimism. This is by no
means a problem which is unique
to this campus. The "why even
care" attitude is one of the great-
est problems an active, concerned
individual will ever run into.
What's even worse is that it's a
justified attitude. Even persons
who are stubborn, persistent, and
often too frank (like myself)
find it hard not to give up. Some
of the questions you ask, Mr.
Editor, aimed at getting us off
our duffs, often have the oppos-
ite effect. Pessimism (or apa-
thy) is an attitude which is gen-
erated by a lack of interest, and
to tell the truth I can see how it
might run rampant on this cam-
pus. There's nothing to get shook
about in the social life around
here (unless you go to the trouble
to participate), there's nothing
exciting going o n in Student
Council (unless you're a "lucky"
policy maker, or an inexpend-
ible do-gooder), there's nothing
in your paper that ever really
rattles many people, Mr. Editor.
My solution — I don't really have
one. I could beg and plead with
people to stop being apathetic, or
I might do something to help
them get interested (unapathetic)
in the things that are going on.
You could even help, Mr. Ed-
itor, with a NEW! IMPROVED!
informing purpose for The High-
land Echo. Who knows, people
may even break the bonds of a-
pathy and start to do something.
In conclusion I'd like to ask
the Maryville College community
for a litde ACTION. There's an
awful lot of wasted potential at
little Maryville (where?) Col-
lege. Maybe with a little effort,
and a lot more guts Maryville
could become almost great — (I
can see the cynics dying from
laughter. May They Rest In
Peace & Apathy.)
Sincerely yours,
M. Shepard Spear
Sophomore Class Represent-
ative
P.S,. This letter might seem an
unnecessary lampoon, Mr. Ed-
itor, but perhaps it will start
someone thinking, it might even
start someone DOING, who
knows? For this reason I remain
an optimist.
Editorial reply:
In attempting to answer your
letter I hope that I have had
enough insight to perceive issues
from gripes. . .however. . .1 think
Mr. Spear, that you have, un-
knowingly, hit upon the crux of
the issue in explaining the lack of
spirit in Student Council. How
possibly can a body meet and
rule properly when it has such a
small sense of its role or impor-
tance in the college community?
At the same time, are the officers
supposed to sit on their "duffs,"
if you please, and watch the year
roll by with as little sense of
"mission" as the other members
of the council display? What
would be the outcome if Messrs.
Gamble and Price waited for the
"elected" to measure and predict
various issues and pervading at-
titudes on campus?
As for your allusions to the
Echo, if the reading of the editor-
ial page has proven a heart-
rending experience for you, I am
truly sorry, for it has missed its
target in your body. Also I be-
lieve that student government-
affiliated actions have had good
coverage in the paper (although
you are inconsistent in your eval-
uation of how much is really go-
ing on) and I feel that an ob-
jective evaluation of the paper
and its areas of coverage will
provide sufficient defense for it-
self— if, indeed, defense is in
order.
j.b.
We would like to present this editorial by A.S.K. which was
in the November 3, 1967 issue of the Echo as the response to the
Editor in the Echo of January 12, 1968 in regards to Chapel. We
feel that this statement is representative of the feelings of the Stu-
dent Council.
Why Compulsory Chapel?
Maryville College has had a tradition of compulsory chapel.
But then, Maryville College has had a tradition for practically every
aspect of undergraduate life. Like all traditions, this one of requiring
attendence at daily worship must be examined in light of its ap-
propriateness for today's college student.
"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him pray,"
is an American truism ( I think Mark Twain said it, or maybe it was
the supreme court) . The college does not require worship — it can't —
it requires attendance. Surveying the bleary-eyed student body (and
faculty) at 8:00 in the morning should convince anyone that actual
participation in worship is limited to a distinct minority (the same
minority w^ho would attend if chapel were not compulsory) . The very
atmosphere is not conducive to worship. Announcements, awards, and
other hoopla — all good in themselves — make it difficult to achieve
a worshipful state of mind even for the dedicated few.
Merely changing the format of chapel to keep it strictly to
a program of worship is not enough, however. The fundamental
issue is whether the college has the right to force students at the pain
of expulsion to attend chapel. And if the college does have the right,
is mandatory chapel the best way to meet the problem of providing
situations for worship at a church- related college?
Academically Maryville is emphasizing the right of individual
choice in matters of class attendence. The idea is to allow each
person to develop as he sees fit within a stimulating curriculum.
Spiritually the idea seems to be to try to force the individual to
conform to (not grow within) a program stagnant and listless with
age. I personally find it unpleasant to be compelled to attend a re-
ligious service even if I am committed to the doctrine upon which
that service is based.
Of course someone will drag out the tired argument that
Maryville is a church-oriented college and anyone who does not like
chapel did not have to come here. I really can't see where being
church-related carries with it the obligation to cling to out-moded
19th century concepts of Christianity, even if these concepts were
handed down to Isaac Anderson on tablets of stone. And apparently
the recruiting program of the college is running into the problem of
many excellent prospects shying away from Maryville because of the
nature of the chapel program. It would be indeed tragic to see the
new academic emphasis hamstrung by a lack of qualified students.
What is advocated here is not the abolition of chapel. Maryville
is a Christian College and worship is a necessary and vital part of
the Christian community. Neither is a plan for a higher percentage
of chapel cuts being proposed. What is needed is a non-compulsory
chapel program where new, stimulating forms of worship are tried
in order to make chapel something that one wants to attend. Of
course it would be folly to suggest that there would not be a drop
in attendence. But is it better to have a full house of largely-empty
minds, or a small,, fluid body of people really concerned with wor-
ship? Which is closer to the true Christian Church?
aiSalv*
Sincerely,
Doug Gamble

III EXPLANATIOII
University Christian Movement
Note: This article is an attempt to explain the role of the Univer-
sity Christian Movement and UCCF's relationship to UCM. Two pa-
pers, "Introducing the University Christian Movement," by Len
Clough, UCM General Secretary and "Towards the Future of the
UCM" have been used in preparing this article.
The student Christian movement had its beginning in the sec-
ond half of the nineteenth century in the form of the YMCA and
the YWCA. The Student Volunteer Movement, aimed at recruiting
missionaries, and the Interseminary Movement followed. In 1944
the YMCA, YWCA, and several Protestant churches federated to
form the United Student Christian Council. The USCC sponsored
"ecumenical" conferences and served as a related body to the Na-
tional Council of Churches. In 1959 a new "child," the National
Student Christian Federation, was created by the uniting of USCC,
the Student Volunteer Movement, and the Interseminary Movement.
During NSCF's life, areas of common concern were explored
with National New Student Federation, National Federation of
Catholic College Students, and the Orthodox churches. In Septem-
ber of 1965, NSCF's Seventh General Assembly decided to effect a
structural and constitutional change because denominational stu-
dent groups were waning and because the desire for a national ecu-
menical fellowship of Christians had been evidenced. On Septem-
ber 6, 1966, the University Christian Movement was born. Charter
members of UCM are the Baptist Student Movement, the Campus
Commission of the Standing Conference of Orthodox Bishops in
the Americas, the Lutheran Student Association in America, the
Methodist Student Movement, the National Canterbury Committee
(Episcopal), the National Federation of Catholic College Students,
the National Newman Student Federation, the National Student
YWCA, the N.Y. State Student Christian |Vlovement, the Northeast
Seminarian's Study Conference, the UCCF, the Westminster Fellow-
ship, UCCI^ at University of Delaware, and the Young Friends of
North America.
Although UCM is just one-and-one-half years old, it has al-
ready defined its major aims, yet it has not limited itself merely to
these aims. A close analysis of the three words University Christian
Movement reveals part of UCM's aims. UCM is committed to in-
volving the entire UNIVERSITY — administration, faculty, students,
and the campus ministry, even though it has remained primarily a
"student" organization. It has chosen to be CHRISTIAN while as-
suming a critical stance toward
merge from that meeting. UCM
already has task forces on
South African and Latin Ameri-
ca and anticipates the forma-
tion of other task forces around
issues such as the draft, Viet-
nam, internationalization, black
power. These task forces hope-
fully will also relate their issues
to the search for a new educa-
tional process. UCM is a young
movement, yet it promises to of-
fer alternatives for change and
a chance for making the world
a human community.
National UCCF has become
an integral part of UCM and
has put most of its energy into
UCM rather than trying to re-
tain a piece of the movement in-
side the UCCF structure. John
K e rn o d 1 e, UCCF's national
chairman, i s a member of
UCM's General Committee, as
are several other UCCF people.
National UCCF anticipates a
funeral for itself before the June
assembly of UCM so it may dis-
solve a structure whose original
aims have been answered by
UCM and United Ministries in
Higher Education in order to
give its total energy to UCM.
Individual UCCF's may choose
to align themselves with UCM
or to operate only in a campus
sphere of influence.
all of Christian tradition and
the established Church, yet re-
mains appreciative of the posi-
tive Christian legacy to human
history. UCM has avoided theo-
logical hang-ups while working
toward development of a theolo-
gy of social change. It has a-
voided inflexible structured or-
ganization so that it might be
MOVEMENT, implying action
and involvement in working to-
ward a more human world.
UCM is also dedicated to ecu-
menism, which in this case
means much more than denom-
inational co-operation. Ecumen-
ism means participating in the
whole inhabited world and iden-
tifying with people and issues
dedicated to the same mission.
Since the second annual assem-
bly UCM has realized the need
to set priorities as to which is-
sues to become involved in. As
a result, an organizing principle
was developed by UCM: "To
work for social change through
the reformation of the universi-
ty." Part of UCM's task now is
to determine strategies of work-
ing toward social change.
UCM's first national confer-
ence was held in Cleveland,
Ohio during the last of Decem-
ber. Probably, some new ideas
and strategies for UCM will e-

CREATION OF
JUDICIARY REVEALED
As reported in the article of
the Highland Echo of January
12, 1968, the Executive Council
of Maryville College passed a
new Judicial System. This sys-
tem is now in effect and is in
an operating status.
According to Doug Gamble
the new judiciary has been in
the making for some time dat-
ing as far back as last year be-
fore the end of the 1966-67 aca-
demic year. The final system,
however, was created in the
first ten weeks of the 1967-68
school year.
A committee was created by
the Student Council headed by
Brian Childs and Linda McNair.
This committee later became a
joint project of students and
faculty and became a commit-
tee of the Student-Faculty Sen-
ate. The chairmen remained the
same. After concentrated work
during the Interim the commit-
tee presented the final copy to
the Executive Council and it
was passed by a unanimous
vote.
Though not an entirely stu-
dent judiciary. Gamble says, the
people who worked on it feel
that it is still in essence a stu-
dent judiciary. The students
hold a majority of chairs on the
council and also hold the chair-
manship. The next two terms
are important as far as the new
judiciary is concerned for it is
a testing period for what ap-
pears as a most enlightened seg-
ment of Maryville College's
changing atmosphere.

6-The Highland Echo, January 19, 1968
67-68
Thursday, January 11. Before
an enthusiastic crowd of sup-
porters,- the Maryville Scots met
the Tusculum Pioneers to try to
revenge last year's one point
loss, but were handed the same
thing this year. The Pioneers
chopped down a strong Scot de-
fense to defeat them by a score
of 68-67.
Led in the first half by Bill
Padgett and Jon Hancher, the
Scots took the lead and held it,
despite a threatening tie score
going into the second period.
With strong rebound action on
defense, the Scots maintained
control and were leading at the
half with the score 40-34.
The second half began much
like the first, with Maryville
keeping the lead. But a deter-
mined Tusculum tied the score
once again, taking advantage of
the tiring Scots who were hav-
ing trouble controlling the ball.
With tension mounting and ten
minutes to go. Coach Baird sub-
stituted five men to see if the)'
could pull the Scots ahead. Un-
fortunately, this failed, and with
a little over six minutes left in
the game, and the Scots behind
by five p o i n ts , the Scots'

FEBRUARY MEETINGS SERIES TO BEGIN
—-Doug Gambia
This wee'k's topic is sterility
T)ot*H anybody feel reJieved?
TluTt^ is u tlit'ory, rather local
I Mil by no means only so, that
an instil III ion which exists pri-
marily for educational (religi-
ous?) rt^sons can best function
In a relatively sterile environ-
menl. (That's "untainted by real
ily." ill this case.)
There is ajiolher theory, pro-
pagaled extensively by youth who
are exhausted by middle-class
AmtM'iean indolence, that such en-
forced sterility only extends
American aloofness from those
far distant (?) areas of our
world in which real people are
luA s<> ('(»nlent.
In any rational evaluation of
our role in Maryville College, we
must ihink in terms of the whole
prew*nl and the whole future. The
past, fortunately or not, is the
past.
Pardon the repetition, "The
lolal college experience is design-
f!(\ to prepare the student for
effective participation and leader-
ship in the larger community of
mankind." (p. 8, The Catalog)
[h it really? "The larger com-
munity of mankind" means
KVKHYHODY, EVERYWHERE.
All coh^rs, sexes, religions, ages,
political theories, and ethical
Mlandards.
A farulty member who grad-
uated from Maryville (that does-
n't narrow it down much, does
It?) says that he felt cheated and
frustrated when he found out
what was REALLY going on.
People do smoke (all sorts of
things), drink, drive and . . .
how do you say it? . . . all over
the plare. TTiey go home when
ifyy want to. And leave home
whwi they want to. Even after
one.

TESTS HELD IN SPRINQ
Alan T. Marshall, a Maryville
College junior from Wilmington,
Delaware, has been greuited
S525.00 from the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association to
prove his hypothesis that the neck
collar used in college football
prevents injuries to the cervical
spine to such a significant extent
The New York Woodwind
Quintet clinic for area musicians
diat was to be held Saturday,
January 27 in the Fine Arts Cm-
ter has been canceled. The orig-
inal announcement of the clinic
appeared in The Highland Echo
January 19.
that it should be required as
compulsory equipment.
The experiments will take
place during spring football
practice and during the 1968
season at Maryville, according to
Boydson H. Baird, Chairman of
the Department of Physical Edu-
cation and Director of Athletics.
Marshall hopes that he can com-
plete his experiments in time to
present them at the N.C.A.A. con-
vention in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia, next January.
Marshall is majoring in phy-
sical education and hopes to earn
a Masters Degree in physical
training at Indiana University.
He is the student trainer for all
athletic teams at Maryville Col-
lege and is number two man on
the varsity tennis team.
Sister Marie Suzanne, the former Sue Guest, bom in Monroe,
Michigan, is a graduate of Marygrove College in Detroit, Michigan.
While in college, she majored in art and during her summers parti-
cipated in a youth program of college students at a resort in upper
Michigan. After college, she entered the noviate of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary sisters in Monroe, one of the United States largest
and most progressive religious orders for women in the Roman
Catholic Church. Then, as Sister Marie Suzanne, she became the.
art instructor at Marian High School in Birmingham, Midhigan for
six years. She has been art instructor at St. Mary's High School in;
Akron, Ohio for the past year and a half where she also participates
' in a humanities program.
Sister has published a set of
prize winning sketches in Today
Magazine. She has organized
workshops in art for the Detroit
Archdiocese and' has taught art
classes for the novices at Mary-
grove's Monroe campus. Current-
ly, Sister is engaged in graduate
studies in Fine Art at Notre
Dame University, and is at pre-
sent taking courses in Graphic
S art and Serigraphy at the Uni-
versity of Akron.
Sister's future plans are to
study with Sister Mary Corita at
Immaculate Heart College in
Cahfomia in the spring of 1968.
In addition to her studies in art,
Sister is interested in OHitem-
porary film study and hopes to
pursue this interest.
Sister Suzanne will conduct a
three day series of Liturgical Art
Workshops in prelude to the
February Meetings. The purpose
of the Worfcshop is for publicity,
Visual Aids and Liturgical ex-
perimentation. Members of the
community as well as the Faculty
and Student Body are invited to
attend.
INVESTIGATION HELD
On Friday, January 19th, a
meeting sponsored and advertised
by Shep Spear was held on be-
half of better student govern-
ment. Attending were Dr. Walk-
er, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Shields,
Mr. Mitchell, about ten student
council members and a few in-
terested, "non-apathetic" standers
-by. Mr. Spear outlined for the
group his gripes and grievances
— as they appeared in his letter
to the editor {Echo, Jan. 19). Al-
though everyone present did not
support Mr. Spear's point of
view, perhaps he drew attention
to the need for evaluating present
council procedures and the need
for a kindling of student interest.

Editoral
The editorial page of any newspaper is the heart of the publica-
tion and the Highland Echo's Graffiti is no different. We, the
editors, feel that il is one of the most vital portions of the entire
paper. Graffiti was explained once before in September, 1967, but
I feel that it is now time again to state what Graffiti is to us of the
Highland Echo.
An editor has only his words. He must use his words and he
must face reaction. An editorial is the opinion, sometimes passionate,
of one person and one person alone. By no means does an editorial
rt'present political policy. This does not mean that an editorial page
may not support certain political policy or castigate it. This is the
free and self-evident right of the editor and of all free people. We
all must be free. Never, however, is the editorial to he a personal
gripe of the editor. Always the situation of the community (that
includes the other world "out there" that we have heard so much
about but have never really seen while here at Anderson-Lloyd
University) must be in mind and to this point the Graffiti has been
faithful.
Because the editor has but words does not mean that the writer
may risk insincerity. The editoral must be respected and respect is
the effect of sincerity. The editors of this paper are sincere. Talk to
us if you don't believe it. That is our policy.
I, for one, strongly l)elieve that, as an editor of a newspaper in
a small conservative college, I have an obligation to stmulate fair
dialogue. This does not mean that an editor should compromise his
conscience to stimulate this dialogue. That would be insincere. It
happens that this year the editors are not conservative and some
conversation has been stimulated. If you don't like what you read
tell us and we'll tell the world. We will print anything that is received
by us. We can prove it, read last week's letters to the editor. They
weren't exactly Bouquets for the Echo and its staff.
That leads us to the most important point. The editors are not
the only people with a sounding board in the Highland Echo. The
editorials are ours. Fort Mudge is used by our (the student body)
elected leaders. The letters to the editor are yours. Sing out, all of
our heads may be cleared, and we may join you in the chorus.

Letters to the Editor
Man would fain be great and sees that he is little; would fain
be happy and sees that he is miserable; would fain be perfect and
sees that he is full of imperfections; would fain be the object of
the love and esteem of men, and sees that his faults merit only
their aversion and contempt. The embarrassment wherein he finds
himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions
imaginable, for he conceives a mortal hatred against that truth
which blames him and convinces him of his faults.

EDITORIAL
As a response to what I believe was a poignant sermon, I sud-
mit the following comment which capitalizes on a need of out time.
The Rev. Arthur McKay, President of McCormick Theological
Seminarv in Chicago, spoke at Sunday vespers on the topic "Failh
versus ileligion". His sermon was a call for Christians and non-
Christians alike to become aware and involved in that for which
they stand.
He began by echoing the scripture lesson when he described
the world as ''all incoherent, all in pieces." In response to this hu-
man j)redicament he suggested a search for meaning which would
require of anyone wishing to call himself a (Christian, an increased
effort to become awan' of and respond to his faith. Dr. McKay ap-
proached this by way of symbols, which as projections, are the ulti-
mate expression of (concern and awareness and therefore should be
real and meaningful. He warned against falling for what Kierke-
gaard calls "dialectical deceit" in attempting to find meaning in
symbols. The hollowriess (if n-ligious symbols is indicative of a hoi-
lowness in (ihristian faith. Dr. McKay's response to this is not to
prcltnui that it (the hollowness) does not exist, nor to absolute it,
but rather, to find some mitldle ground of involvement.
TTius. the position of thr jm-pel in a secular ag«' requires re-
examination l»v each generation and action on the basis of that
re-examination. ( .Som«' havi- suggested "new" religious symbols a-^

Because the Church was not
there in the nineteenth century,
Communism had a chance to de-
velop. There are people in this
country that are not free, and
only individuals of the Church
are doing something about it.
There are people being killed in
wars around the world and the
Church is ostentatiousally mute.
The Church is out making money.
THE MINISTER
I mastered pastoral theology,
the Greek of the Apostles, and
all the difficult subjects in a
minister's curriculum,
I was as learned as any in this
country when the Bishop ordain-
ed me.
And I went to preside over
Mount Moriah, largest flock in
the Conference.
I preached the Word as I felt
it, I visited the sick and dying
and comforted the afflicted in
spirit.
I loved my work because I
loved God.
But I lost my charge to Sam
Jenkins, who has not been to
school four years in his life.
I lost my charge because \
could not make my congregation
shout.
And my dollar money was
small, very small.
Sam Jenkins can tear a Bible
to tatters and his congregation
destroys the pews with their
shouting and stamping.
Sam Jenkins leads in the gift
of raising dollar money.
Such is religion.

Mr. Editor:
In the January 1968 issue of
Motive there is an interesting
editorial titled: Where Have All
The Negroes Gone? Two para-
graphs in particular seemed to
me to present a challenge that
may well relate to the Maryville
campus.
"In the matter of recruitment
and training, the churches and
church- related colleges are be-
ing eclipsed by both industry
and secular colleges. The radi-
cal experimentation currently
undertaken by Wesleyan Uni-
versity in Connecticut (more
than 10% of its current en-
rollment is from disadvantaged
areas) illustrates the kind of
vision which should character-
ize church-related institutions.
But those who talk about
'freedom in the Gospel' aren't
always the ones who manifest
that same freedom.
"In the 19th century, denom-
inational colleges dotted thr
frontier in America and be-
came synonymous with obtain-
ing an education. These same
institutions could now take
seriously the urban and racial
frontiers and set the pace for
radical innovation in higher
education. The facilities and
expertise currently accumu-
lated by Protestant and Roman
Catholic schools in or around
America's major urban areas
could be of major consequence
in renovating some of the
urban and human blight that
festers in our cities."
We always seem to have our
own day-to-day problems, but
what do we do to really get in-
volved in some of the "real issues
of the day"? I think the title of
the editorial is pertinent to Mary-

Or better yet, what do you think

Dear Editor,
We would like to voice an
opinion in reply to Shep Spear's
letter to the editor in the last
Echo issue. First of all, we ap-
plaud his spirit, and his express-
ing what he considers to be out
of line. It is people who stand up
for what they believe that keep
alive the American Dream. We
realize that there may very well
be a power elite, but at the same
time we realize that everyone
cannot be in on all committee
meetings, etc. Who would have
enough time?
For an optimist, Mr. Spear
paints an awfully dim picture.
We feel that his is giving few
people credit for being interested
and concerned. Or does he have
a corner on these two commodi-
ties?
His invitational meeting was,
it would seem, along the same
line that he has suggested the
accused council officers of tak-
ing. Criticism might more fruit-
fully be voiced at council meet-
ings, but criticism based on
grudges and slighted feelings is
much different from constructive
criticism, when the over-all
"plans for progress" are kept in
mind.
THREE "APATHETIC" STU-
DENTS
Dear Mr. Editor Sir;
As I sat there on my bed of.
doom waiting for my next pill to
take effect, I picked up the Echo
and after reading Mr. Spear's
letter I needed the pain killers to
keep me from dying of pain from
laughter. Of course, I shouldn't
laugh because of my recent
operation, but being the "cynic"
that I am, I had to. When I had
finished "I WAS LAUGHED
OUT."
I would like to take a few of
his points and present more than
a one-sided picture.
First of all let's look at the
(Chapel situation. I was on the
committee that helped draw up
the resolution that appeared in
the last issue of the Echo. The
purpose of the Chapel evaluation
is to see how we can have better
and more meaningful chapels and
to look at the compulsory side
of a religious worship service.

all the other people of the col-
lege community look at the pro-

The Highland Echo, January 26, 1968-3
PART THREE
ON GOVERNMENT
The Student Council of Maryville College functions as the
executive committee of the student body. It is an assembly of
delegates from various student organizations including: four student
body officers-the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer;
one representative from Men's Student Government; one representa-
tive from the Women's Student Government Association ; and five re-
presentatives from each class. Each council member has the op-
portunity to serve on standing rx>mmittees and special committees
of Student Council, some of which include: the Elections Committee,
the Organizations Committee, the Pep Committee, Programs Com-
mittee, Projects Committee, and the Publicity Committee. Two very
important special committees are the Judiciary Committee and the
Academics Committee.
The Student Council strives to represent the authority of the
student body in a meaningful fashion and to represent the acts and
decisions of council to student body members. It seeks to discover
and to relate particular areas of student interest. In addition it has
a deep interest in cooperating with the faculty and administration
toward the attainment of certain important goals. Student Council
also has the responsibility of supervising the coordination and
integration of student activities through its different committees.

posal and say "those radicals are
trying to do away with Chapel."
And immediately they stick their
heads in the sand and refuse to
talk to us "Bad Guys." Evalua-
tion, not Abolition. Think before
you speak.
Second, I feel I should deal
with the elected representatives
of our grand and glorious stu-
dent council. That Stalwart body
which meets occasionally, but not
in the last six weeks. How long
did we have off for Christmas?
When was it? In the last six
weeks? Basic Math. Now back to
the stalwart representatives of
the students. Everyone must use
what he has. We must eat what
is put in front of us (or* starve),
and the president and vice-presi-
dent must use their elected re-
presentatives. Even if these re-
presentatives wanted the position
to impress that certain someone,
or it looked good on their re-
cord, or maybe they were
genuinely interested. No one ever
stops to think that an academic
year is so long, decisions must
be planned to take into account
the hinderances of the dead-
wooders and the near-sighted
people. Plus the ever-present Ad-
ministration's Red tape and put
off tactics. (Never do what you
can put off indefinitely). I know
all this because I have to live
with Doug Gamble, and I have
been to Student Council meetings
to see for myself. It was amazing
and I was quite floored to see the
people you and I elected sit and
sit and sit without listening or
contributing. A few voiced their
opinions and all they could think
of was trivia and their own little
sphere of existence. Now that the
majority has been handled, words
of commendation should be
showered on the minority who
are working for the good of the
college community. But we elect-
ed them all and we have put our
future in their hands. Is the situa-
tion not better than the first of
the year? Two milks, slacks some-
times, and the new judiciary sys-
tem, Mickey Mouse? Why? I
ask you.
Socially, what do you want?
My compliments to someone for
the fine job on the dance last
Friday night. Don't tell my
doctor I was there. Josh White,
Jr. was well attended? I hear. I
was in the hospital, where were
you? Sure the advertising was
poor but surely you heard about
it someway. Now what about the
Spring concert you ask? Who
knows, we'll probably be able to
afford the Slippery Rock Taber-
nacle Choir if we are lucky. We
have the Artist Series, Lecture
Series and Faculty Recitals, Yea,
but you might learn something.
Sure this place lacks Frats and
now societies (sorta) but we
have something better. When all
else fails and the weather warms
up a little or you can spare a
blanket from your bed, HEAD
FOR THE BUSHES! But until
then don't despair, the parlors
are wide open except for the (oc-
casional) visits from the house-
mothers. LIFE IS FULL OF
ENDURANCE CONTESTS.
SUGGESTION TIME. Why don't
some of you people, who don't
have time to look into the activ-
ities of Maryville College because
you are too busy sitting around

griping, dig out last week's Echo
and read below the Chapel
evaluation propaganda. You will
find a whole article on social
evaluation. Then (if I may borrow
a word from a "peon member")
get up off your duffs and show
some real interest. You might be
surprised at what you could do.
After all, you have to endure
one, two or even three more
years of this nonsense. Not me (I
hope and pray), I'll be out in
the real cruel world where life is
to be lived, not endured.
I like the Highland Echo and
feel that they, the editors and
staff, can defend themselves
much better than I.
Now as my pill wears off and
the Sun sinks slowly somewhere,
I realize that these lines will be
taken as a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury probably
signifying nothing. And as I re-
read this letter I can see hidden
in it a real grabbing message.
(Unintentionally of course). In
this present period of total re-
evaluation of Maryville College,
wouldn't it be amazing if YOU,
the total College Community,
could re-evaluate yourselves and
see what you can do so that
Maryville College and possibly
you will not, some day, end up
in Abolition.
Dan R. Quarles
P.S. A famous Jewish Chinese
Philosopher once told me
that when I didn't know
exactly what I was talk-
ing about, "It is much
better to be silent and
thought a Fool, than to
open my mouth and prove
it."
MUDGE, cont. from p. 1, col. 1
They do recognize order and
laws. But they help make the
order and laws themselves.
Society makes up its collected
mind and, eventually, it trans-
forms its decision into order.
Does ours?
The student body president at
the University of Michigan told
me that he wanted to convince
200 students (out of a student
body of many thousands) that
they were real, important, think-
ing, responsible, rational, and
damn important people who had
an unsmotherable right to help
shape their own destinies. Sounds
pretty reasonable, doesn't it? Try
it sometime. Especially in a girls'
dorm.
Do we not think enough of
ourselves as humans to be bother-
ed by a locked door?
Did you know that the faculty
(which includes housemothers —
yes, I said, "The faculty includes
housemothers.") can't smoke in
their offices. Or drink. Any-
where. Even the ones over 30.
(anybody wanna bet?) And it
can't elect anybody to anything
which can change all that.
And students can't elect any-
one to anything to vote to change
anything that makes any real
difference.
Yeah, I know. "You knew all
this before you came, so shut
up." Heart transplants make life
longer. For colleges, too.
Student applications are down
again. Students are leaving more,
(to be reread, slowly) Enthusi-
asm for the institution is not what
you would call overwhelming. Es-
pecially among seniors. Why?
I submit that little changes
make big changes.
If you care and have an idea.
Or don't care and have an idea.
Why not say so? Contrary to
recently expressed opinion, Mr.
Price and I really do have ears.
So does your council repre-
sentative. I think.
Marriage is like a tedious meal
with dessert at the beginning.

BLACK POWER: For Those
Who Try Harder
Having heard many discus-
sions on our campus concerning
the racial situation in our
society, I thought that someone
?? might be interested in hear-
ing the opinion of one who might
be considered a member of the
"ghetto cult." Having ex-
perienced (a few times) and hav-
ing been a witness (many times)
of discriminatory practices as
they appear in our society ; I felt
that I, too, should throw my hat
into the fire.
After more than one hundred
years of probing racial and social
issues, our society faces the exact
same racial conditions that it
faced directly after the Civil
War. Just as it was then, the
question today is one of: (1)
blacks against whites; (2)
federal power versus states'
rights; and (3) Northerners with
liberal ideas versus Southerners
with conservative ideas. TTie
question today is also one of re-
moving segregation and discrimi-
nation from the Negro society.
Whereas the conditions today
closely parallel those of one
hundred years ago, there is one
outstanding dissimilarity. This
dissimilarity is the predominance
of youth in the movement ; parti-
cularly the Negro youth. Today's
Negro youth is more politically
sophisticated than was the "old-
fashioned" Negro. For this rea-
son, today's Negro youth has a
better idea of what he wants and
to what extremes he is willing to
go to attain these goals (even if
it means consulting communist
for "food for thought"). Thus,
today's racial issues seem to re-
volve around the premeditated
actions of well-known young men
such as Stokely Carmichael, H.
Rap Brown, Dick Gregory, and
their constituents.
I suppose that no discussion
concerning racial issues would be
complete without mentioning the
impact made by the Black Power
Boys. One of the severe mistakes
made thus far by this new breed
was their refusal to define ac-
curately the term-slogan-rallying
cry "Black Power" for the bene-
fit of many interested whites. As
it stands today, the meaning of
Black Power is so obscure, its in-
tent so misinterpreted, its impact
so abrasive that it has divided
Negroes, alienated whites, and
simply confused everybody. What
does Black Power mean to one
who hails from the ghetto? It
means the fostering of greater
human dignity and cohesiveness
among Negroes through the em-
phasis of racial consciousness;
it means black people being able
to control effectively their own
ghettoes; it means arousing the
insensitivity of whites toward
poor conditions that exist in
many city ghettos, country ghet-
tos, and just plain GHETTOS; it
means being black and being
able to feel proud of this fact
in a system wherein the power
structure is controlled by the
white majority. Along with other
Negroes in this nation, I do not
believe that Black Power has to
mean burning down Anderson
Hall because there are only five
Negro students enrolled in our
Christian community here at
Maryville. Violence, without a
doubt, has marred the image of
the Negro cause to a great ex-
tent; but one wonders what it
will eventually require to awaken
many persons to the existing
critical situation in our society.
(One often wonders the same
about some members of our col-
lege community). One could rely
on the old saying that "Time
heals all wounds" but for the
Negro in the ghetto, this solution
possesses little validity because
(1) the rats are constantly at-
tacking the cats, and (2) there is
little time leift for waiting — it's
been 105 years, you know. It is
my belief that much of the
violence that has erupted due to
Black Power was caused by white
apathy and racism within the
power structure. True, more
Negroes participated in and or-
ganized these riots than did
whites; but it was the apathetic
attitudes expressed by many
Northern congressmen and
mayors (not to mention the
Romanticism of their Southern
counterparts) that sparked last
summer's occurrences. It is my
further contention that until these
factors are removed from our
society, the riots of last summer
may be annual occurrences.
Whereas it may be considered
racist to form programs to get
our society back on the course
that was plotted for it by Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and
Dr. Martin Luther King, I fed
that this action must be taken
because the actions were racist
that upset our so-called American
system of justice and fair play
for ALL. The best place to begin
unraveling these problems might
be where most of us spend nearly
nine months of the year learning
to combat heathenism.

4-The Highland Echo, January 26, 1968
GR-R-REAT
On Thursday, Jan. 18, 1968, the Maryville Scot wrestling team
showed the spirit and the drive that wins matches. The Scots were
wrestling the University of the South, Sewanee. Pre-game predictions
forecasted the Scots to lose but the Scots, working hard since the
Christmas vacation, had other ideas. The following is the story of the
Maryville win over Sewanee, 23 — 19.
123 — Ray Nye was up against one of the co-captains of the
Sewanee team but that didn't stop Ray. As soon as the whistle blew,
Ray was in working for a takedown by using a Fireman's Carry. No
points were scoredt in the first period. In the second period Ray had
the down jKysition, he sat out and reached back over his head and
grabbed his opponent's head. By holding on to his opponent's head,
Ray was able to turn his man over and PIN him with 4 min. and
24 sec. by in the match.
130 — Tom Chase wrestled the toughest man on the Sewanee
team who was beaten in the S.E.C. tournament by Maryville's great
Ron Pritts, only on riding time. Tom showed good moves, especially
his stand-up, but was unlucky enough to fall into a pinning hold in
the third period that he was unable to get out of.
137 — The "Big Grudge Match of the Century" was the 137 lb.
class. The Sewanee boy, as it was publicized in a Chattanooga paper,
was out to get Ralph. Needless to say — Ralph GOT HIM. Although
Ralph had to lose four pounds the night before the match, he
moved in the first period like a "bat out of *ac"! and was able to
take his man down. In the second period Ralph was on the bottom
and allowed his opponent to put a head lever — on him. Then
Ralph made a move that appeared at the time to be a mistake but
it turned out to be just right. Johnson rolled across his shoulders
enabling him to double — underhook his opponent and PIN HIM
with 24 sec. remaining in the second period. That "Farmer" didn't
know what he was talking about when he claimed that he could beat
Ralph!
145 — Bob Evaul was beaten by points and experience. Bob, one
of the football players who has helped the team tremendously this
year, showed great speed and "animal" while wrestling. Evaul, only
a Freshman, has some great seasons ahead of him.
RALPH K>MNSON
LYNN DODEZ
152 — Soott Wood fought a hard match, but loosing too much
weight too fast hurt Scott. Also a illegal slam on the part of the
Sewanee boy shook Scott up a little so that the final score was 12 — 6
favor of the Sewanee man.
160 — Bob Nicholas wresded his usual winning style against
Sewanee by using a Bar and Chancery and a Lateral Drop to score
the majority of his points. Nick allowed his man to score three
points on a reversal and an escape, but he went on to win 7-3.
167 — Harry Burnett's match was one of the best of the even-
ing. Harry took his man down in the first period with a Fake Arm-
Drag and A Step Through. With little trouble at all Harry was able
in the Second period to use a Head Lever and turn his opponent
over and pin him with 43 sec. remaining in the second period..
A GREAT MATCH!
177 — Bob Van Dyke wrestled very aggressive against a boy
who came in second in the Prep School Nationals. Earlier Bob has
wrestled as low as 152 and it looked as if he was a little light for
the 177 weight class. He lost 9—2.
191 — The total team scores at the beginning of this match
were 18 to 14 in favor of Maryville. In order to win the Scots had to
win one of their last two matches. Dodez, no small man by any
means, was to wrestle a boy who looked like "John Henry" himself!
But Lynn managed to duck under, for two pts. in the first period.
During the second period Lynn was unable to escape and thus was
ridden for three minutes. Counting riding time the score was tied 2-2
going into the Third period. Lynn needed to ride his man for at
least two minutes to win but his opponent stood up and escaped
early in the Third Period. Lynn now needed a takedown to win.
WITH 15 SECONDS TO GO IN THE MATCH, LYNN TOOK HIS
MAN DOWN AND PINNED HIM WITH ONLY 3 SECONDS RE-
MAINING.
H. W. — John Forgety, a 180 pounder, wresded heavyweight
far the Scots against a very large heavyweight from Sewanee. John,
with his speed, was able to do all right against his opponent until
the Sewanee boy was able to get his weight on John and pin him.
The wrestlers came up with their first big win of the season by
no other way than the hard work and sacrifice that is known only
to a WRESTLER !
SCOTS!
Bill Padgett is a quiet, unob-
trusive man on campus. He com-
mutes daily from his home in
Alcoa, attends classes, and
studies. If this were the entire
routine of Bill we could write
him off as just another student,
but this is not the whole story of
Bill Padgett. Bill is Maryville's
star forward and high-scoring
man on the basketball team.
Bill graduated in June, 1965,
from Alcoa High School where
he lettered in basketball. He
came to Maryville as a transfer
in January, 1966, and started
playing for Coach Baird. He has
lettered every season since then.
He set a personal record of 45
points in a single game as a
freshman. This year he leads the
team with a point average of 25
points per game.
Bill is a 6'2" junior physical
education major who plans to
teach upon graduation Bill feels
our team is better than scores
have shown, losing several games
by only a few points. Bill also
thinks the Scots "should improve
in the remainder of the season."
We wish Bill and all our men
good luck and our much needed
support for the rest of the sea-
son.
There was no lack of excite-
ment or spirit last Thursday Jan.
18, when the Scots were defeated
by Florida Presbyterian College.
The Scots played one of the best
games of tfie year, losing by an
eight point margin.
Up against an impressive and
tough Florida Presbyterian, the
Scots fought hard, yet were un-
able to pull ahead of F. P.'s half-
time lead. Anyone who saw the
game witnessed a fantastic
Florida center whose 6'3" en-
abled him to grab 20 rebounds
and 29 points, holding Maryville
down depite Bill Padgett's 31
points.
The Scots were losing by two
points at the half, after having
taken advantage of several
Florida mistakes and battiing
against one of the strongest re-
bounding teams they have been
up against. Presbyterian's two-
point margin stretched into an
eight to twelve point lead early
in the second half, and was only
threatened once when the score
was 59-61, with five minutes left
in the game. They were not about
to relinguish their well-earned
lead, and walked off the court
having outrebounded the Scots
74-36 and outscored them 76-
68.
The Scots have had a rough
season, losing by small margins
in games that they have deserved
to win. Depite their hard luck,
however, the Scots have lost none
of their spirit. It is too bad that
more of the student body which
they represent do not have as
much.
Dominating the majority of
Monday Jan. 15's game, the Lee
College Vikings sailed their way
to victory over the Maryville
Scots. It was a close game, but
not close enough. Fouling was
heavy, with the Scotties totaling
14 in the first half and 12 in the
second, including three technicals
called on Coach Baird. The Vik-
ings took advantage of this, gain-
ing 26 points on foul sihots.
The Scots tried hard, often
closing gaps into near-tie scores,
but were outplayed on both ends
of the court. Questionable re-
fereeing had the fans jumping
and spirits were high, but the
hopeful spectators could not spur
their team to victory. The boys
played well, with Lynn Mize
working hard to lead Scot scor-
ing with 20 points.
Despite all the Scotties have
been putting into it, they do not
seem to be making mudh "net
profit."
The final score was Lee-88,
Maryville-80.

in it a real grabbing message.
(Unintentionally of course). In
this present period of total re-
evaluation of Maryville College,
wouldn't it be amazing if YOU,
the total College Community,
could re-evaluate yourselves and
see what you can do so that
Maryville College and possibly
you will not, some day, end up
in Abolition.

Do we not think enough of
ourselves as humans to be bother-

Did you know that the faculty
(which includes housemothers —
yes, I said, "The faculty includes
housemothers.") can't smoke in
their offices. Or drink. Any-
where. Even the ones over 30.
(anybody wanna bet?) And it
can't elect anybody to anything
which can change all that.
And students can't elect any-
one to anything to vote to change
anything that makes any real
difference.
Yeah, I know. "You knew all

I submit that little changes
make big changes.

Why not say so? Contrary to

Having heard many discus-
sions on our campus concerning
the racial situation in our
society, I thought that someone
?? might be interested in hear-
ing the opinion of one who might
be considered a member of the
"ghetto cult." Having ex-
perienced (a few times) and hav-
ing been a witness (many times)
of discriminatory practices as
they appear in our society; I felt
that I, too, should throw my hat
into the fire.
After more than one hundred
years of probing racial and social
issues, our society faces the exact
same racial conditions that it
faced directly after the Civil
War. Just as it was then, the
question today is one of: (1)
blacks against whites; (2)
federal power versus states'
rights; and (3) Northerners with
liberal ideas versus Southerners
with conservative ideas. The
question today is also one of re-
moving segregation and discrimi-
nation from the Negro society.
Whereas the conditions today
closely parallel those of one
hundred years ago, theYe is one
outstanding dissimilarity. This
dissimilarity is the predominance
of youth in the movement ; parti-
cularly the Negro youth. Today's
Negro youth is more politically
sophisticated than was the "old-
fashioned" Negro. For this rea-
son, today's Negro youth has a
better idea of what he wants and
to what extremes he is willing to
go to attain these goals (even if
it means consulting communist
for "food for thought"). Thus,
today's racial issues seem to re-
volve around the premeditated
actions of well-known young men
such as Stokely Carmichael, H.
Rap Brown, Dick Gregory, and
their constituents.
I suppose that no discussion
concerning racial issues would be
complete without mentioning the
impact made by the Black Power
Boys. One of the severe mistakes
made thus far by this new breed
was their refusal to define ac-
curately the term-slogan-rallying
cry "Black Power" for the bene-
fit of many interested whites. As
it stands today, the meaning of
Black Power is so obscure, its in-
tent so misinterpreted, its impact
so abrasive that it has divided
Negroes, alienated whites, and
simply confused everybody. What
does Black Power mean to one
who hails from the ghetto? It
means the fostering of greater
human dignity and cohesiveness
among Negroes through the em-
phasis of racial consciousness;
it means black people being able
to control effectively their own
ghettoes; it means arousing the
insensitivity of whites toward
poor conditions that exist in
many city ghettos, country ghet-
tos, and just plain GHETTOS; it
means being black and being
able to feel proud of this fact
in a system wherein the power
structure is controlled by the
white majority. Along with other
Negroes in this nation, I do not
believe that Black Power has to
mean burning down Anderson
Hall because there are only five
Negro students enrolled in our
Christian community here at
Maryville. Violence, without a
doubt, has marred the image of
the Negro cause to a great ex-
tent; but one wonders what it
will eventually require to awaken
many persons to the existing
critical situation in our society.
(One often wonders the same
about some members of our col-
lege community ) . One could rely
on the old saying that "Time
heals all wounds" but for the
Negro in the ghetto, this solution
possesses little validity because
(1) the rats are constantly at-
tacking the cats, and (2) there is
litde time leift for waiting — it's
been 105 years, you know. It is
my belief that much of the
violence that has erupted due to
Black Power was caused by white
apathy and racism within the
power structure. True, more
Negroes participated in and or-
ganized these riots than did
whites; but it was the apathetic
attitudes expressed by many
Northern congressmen and
mayors (not to mention the
Romanticism of their Southern
counterparts) that sparked last
summer's occurrences. It is my
further contention that until these
factors are removed from our
society, the riots of last summer
may be annual occurrences.
Whereas it may be considered
racist to form programs to get
our society back on the course
that was plotted for it by Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and
Dr. Martin Luther King, I fed
that this action must be taken
because the actions were racist
that upset our so-called American
system of justice and fair play
for ALL. The best place to begin
unraveling these problems might
be where most of us spend nearly
nine months of the year learning
to combat heathenism.

4-The Highland Echo, January 26, 1968
GR-R-REAT
On Thursday, Jan. 18, 1%8, the Maryville Scot wrestling team
showed the spirit and the drive that wins matches. The Scots were
wrestling the University of the South, Sewanee. Pre-game predictions
forecasted the Scots to lose but the Scots, working hard since the
Christmas vacation, had other ideas. The following is the story of the
Maryville win over Sewanee, 23 — 19.
123 — Ray Nye was up against one of the co-captains of the
Sewanee team but that didn't stop Ray. As soon as the whistle blew,
Ray was in working for a takedown by using a Fireman's Carry. No
points were scored in the first period. In the second period Ray had
the down position, he sat out and reached back over his head and
grabbed his opponent's head. By holding on to his opponent's head,
Ray was able to turn his man over and PIN him with 4 min. and
24 sec. by in the match.
130 — Tom Chase wrestled the toughest man on the Sewanee
team who was beaten in the S.E.C. tournament by Maryville's great
Ron Pritts, only on riding time. Tom showed good moves, especially
his stand-up, but was unlucky enough to fall into a pinning hold in
the third period that he was unable to get out of.
137 — The "Big Grudge Match of the Century" was the 137 lb.
class. The Sewanee boy, as it was publicized in a Chattanooga paper,
was out to get Ralph. Needless to say — Ralph GOT HIM. Although
Ralph had to lose four pounds the night before the match, he
moved in the first period like a "bat out of *ac" ! and was able to
take his man down. In the second period Ralph was on the bottom
and allowed his opponent to put a head lever — on him. Then
Ralph made a move that appeared at the time to be a mistake but
it turned out to be just right. Johnson rolled across his shoulders
enabling him to double — underhook his opponent and PIN HIM
with 24 sec. remaining in the second period. That "Farmer" didn't
know what he was talking about when he claimed that he could beat
Ralph!
145 — Bob Evaul was beaten by points and experience. Bob, one
of the football players who has helped the team tremendously this
year, showed great speed and "animal" while wrestling. Evaul, only
a Freshman, has some great seasons ahead of him.

152 — Soott Wood fought a hard match, but loosing too much
weight too fast hurt Scott. Also a illegal dam on the part of the
Sewanee boy sihook Scott up a little so that the final score was 12 — 6
favor of the Sewanee man.
160 — Bob Nicholas wrestled his usual winning style against
Sewanee by using a Bar and Chancery and a Lateral Drop to score
the majority of his points. Nick allowed his man to score three
points on a reversal and an escape, but he went on to win 7-3.
167 — Harry Burnett's match was one of the best of the even-
ing. Harry took his man down in the first period with a Fake Arm-
Drag and A Step Through. Vi^Ith little trouble at all Harry was able
in the Second period to use a Head Lever and turn his opponent
over and pin him with 43 sec. remaining in the second period..
A GREAT MATCH!
177 — Bob Van Dyke wrestled very aggressive against a boy
who came in second in the Prep School Nationals. Earlier Bob has
wrestled as low as 152 and it looked as if he was a little light for
the 177 weight class. He lost 9—2.
191 — The total team scores at the beginning of this match
were 18 to 14 in favor of Maryville. In order to win the Scots had to
win one of their last two matches. Dodez, no small man by any
means, was to wrestle a boy who looked, like "John Henry" himself!
But Lynn managed to duck under, for two pts. in the first period.
During the second period Lynn was unable to escape and thus was
ridden for three minutes. Counting riding time the score was tied 2-2
going into the Third period. Lynn needed to ride his man for at
least two minutes to win but his opponent stood up and escaped
eariy in the Third Period. Lynn now needed a takedown to win.
WITH 15 SECONDS TO GO IN THE MATCH, LYNN TOOK HIS
MAN DOWN AND PINNED HIM WITH ONLY 3 SECONDS RE-
MAIMING.
H. W. — John Forgety, a 180 pounder, wrestled heavyweight
far the Scots against a very large heavyweight from Sewanee. John,
with his speed, was able to do all right against his opponent until
the Sewanee boy was able to get his weight on John and pin him.
The wrestlers came up with their first big win of the season by
no other way than the hard work and sacrifice that is known only
to a WRESTLER !
SCOTS!
Bill Padgett is a quiet, unob-
trusive man on campus. He com-
mutes daily from his home in
Alcoa, attends classes, and
studies. If this were the entire
routine of Bill we could write
him off as just another student,
but this is not the whole story of
Bill Padgett. BUI is Maryville's
star forward and high-scoring
man on the basketball team.
Bill graduated in June, 1965,
from Alcoa High School where
he lettered in basketball. He
came to Maryville as a transfer
in January, 1966, and started
playing for Coach Baird. He has
lettered every season since then.
He set a personal record of 45
points in a single game as a
freshman. This year he leads the
team with a point average of 25
points per game.
Bill is a 6'2" junior physical
education major who plans to
teach upon graduation Bill feels
our team is better than scores
have shown, losing several games
by only a few points. Bill also
thinks the Scots "should improve
in the remainder of the season."
We wish Bill and all our men
good luck and our much needed
support for the rest of the sea-
There was no lack of excite-
ment or spirit last Thursday Jan.
18, when the Scots were defeated
by Florida Presbyterian College.
The Scots played' one of the best
games of the year, losing by an
eight point margin.
Up against an impressive and
tough Florida Presbyterian, the
Scots fought hard, yet were un-
able to pull ahead of F. P.'s half-
time lead. Anyone who saw the
game witnessed a fantastic
Florida center whose 6'3" en-
abled him to grab 20 rebounds
and 29 points, holding Maryville
down depite Bill Padgett's 31
points.
The Scots were losing by two
points at the half, after having
taken advantage of several
Florida mistakes and battling
against one of the strongest re-
bounding teams they have been
up against. Presbyterian's two-
point margin stretched into an
eight to twelve point lead early
in the second half, and was only
threatened once when the score
was 59-61, with five minutes left
in the game. They were not about
to relinguish their weil-eamed
lead, and walked off the court
having outrebounded the Scots
74-36 and outscored them 76-
68.
The Scots have had a rough
season, losing by small margins
in games that they have deserved
to win. Despite their hard luck,
however, the Scots have lost none
of their spirit. It is too bad that
more of the student body which
they represent do not have as
mucih.
Dominating the majority of
Monday Jan. 15's game, the Lee
College Vikings sailed their way
to victory over the Maryville
Scots. It was a close game, but
not close enough. Fouling was
heavy, with the Scotties totaling
14 in the first half and 12 in the
seccttid, including three technicals
called on Coach Baird. The Vik-
ings took advantage of this, gain-
ing 26 points on foul shots.
The Scots tried hard, often
closing gaps into near-tie scores,
but were outplayed on both ends
of the court. Questionable re-
fereeing had the fans jumping
and spirits were high, but the
hopeful spectators could not spur
their team to victory. The boys
played well, with Lynn Mize
working hard to lead Scot scor-
ing with 20 points.
Despite all the Scotties have
been putting into it, they do not
seem to be making much "net
profit."
The final score was Lee-88,
Maryville-80.

CANTELON TO SPEAK
Some six years have fled since
Maryville College's Board of
Directors began the investiga-
tions and discussions which re-
sulted in the tremendous effort
which gave us our New Academic
Life. Maryville is rapidly becom-
ing one of the most progressive
colleges in the country. If you
doubt it, look around.
A progressive Board of Direc-
tors is in itself unusual. The ad-
vantage of such a situation over
that faced by state schools re-
sponsible to popularly elected
legislatures is obvious.
Though still not perfect (and
whose is?), our Academic Offer-
ing is excellent. The faculty is
rapidly becoming solid on all
fronts. (Remember four years
ago?). The calendar is helpful.
The Freshman year doesn't look
like more high school any more.
It's becoming harder to loaf all
the way through to a degree.
The physical plant will be
sound in a few years. We may
even get that new student center.
(With a cigarette machine?)
Maryville, then, has made an
obvious decision. We are no long-
er trying to be a good Southern
school dedicated to the proposi-
tion of making Tennessee literate.
We are preparing to compete
nationally. With Earlham,
Wooster, Grimiell. Maybe even
Goddard and Antioch?
Can we help make our alma
mater, or whatever MC will be
to you, succeed in this commend-
able effort? I think so.
When the Board asked for an
examination of the curriculum,
it also asked for an examination
of everything else. Everything.
After considerable prodding, it
may be beginning. We seem to
be really willing to look at the
rest of our life.
If we can bring our social and
religious expressions into this
century, we might just have
something like what our pro-
paganda says we have today. Ad-
missions would go up. So would
our morale.
There are to be committees of
some sort to investigate these
things. Soon. This week. Or at
least next week. They are going
to want to know what we think
about MC. Honestly.
Students are going to play a
big part in both the asking and
the answering.
We can really maybe change
the things we yell so much about,
but we have to be willing and
ABLE to speak up.
MC is close to being as unique
nationally as it is in Tennessee,
but if we don't do the things we
must do to bring the rest of us
up to our Academic Endeavor,
we will not succeed.
So think about it before some-
body asks you. Some people know
we have to change some more.
See you in chapel.

OLD BUSINESS
Dr. Copeland and Dr. Blair
attended ^e meeting to explain
and clarify the Jan. 22 action of
the Executive Council. It was
explained that the action came
as a result of various groups' in-
terest in the total picture of the
life of Maryville College. With
the upgrading of the academic
aspect, other areas of vital con-
I cem needed to be examined.
Specific action taken by the
Executive Council included the
following; the formation of a
special committee on the CcJlege
Community Life and Structure,
composed of representatives of
the faculty (administration), stu-
dents, and Board of Directors,
the purpose of which is the de-
vising of ways and means of im-
plementing the recently approved
statement of purpose; the con-
stituting of research and evalua^
tion committees conceming such
areas of community life as the
Religious, Student Standards,
Social-Physical-Recreational, Ac-
ademic, and Special Concerns
(four such research committees
being composed of both students
and faculty (administration) in
approximately equal numbers,
with the fifth, the Academic Com-
mittee, composed of the present-
ly constituted Curriculum Com-
mittee; and the determining of
the Executive Council whether,
after this academic year, there
be a need for the continuing
function of the aforementioned
committees. These sub-committees
will include between 40 and 50
interested faculty and students

fTHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE DRAFT LAW . . .
COULD KILL YOU!!!
The draft commands compliance to its rules without telling
everyone concerned what all those rules are. It is entitled to com-
pliance but not through ignorance of those affected. We discovered
how litde is known about the draft law and how difficult it is to
find any information and decided something had to be done. We
have spent months researching the law and have found a lot of facts
that are not generally known outside the Selective Service Head-
quarters.
1. MANY persons are NOT EVEN REQUIRED TO REGISTER
for the draft.
2. If you are not required to register and volunteer, you will be
registered WITHOUT BEING TOLD YOU DO NOT HAVE TO
REGISTER.
3. Few persons have seen the draft law.
4. The government does not give out copies of the law to the public.
5. A "GLASSBLOWER" is a "critical occupation" subject to de-
ferment; there are dozens of other "critical occupations."
6. There are two "services'" which FULFILL your military obliga-
tion besides the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines and the
Air Force.
7. If you are sdheduled for induction there are many postpone-
ments available.
8. It is possible to appeal classifications to the President.
9. There are 22 other classifications avialable besides "I A."
10. The American Council On Exlucation says: "Enrollment in the
first two years of graduate and professional schools next fall
will be limited to women, veterans, men physically disqualified
and those over the age of 25."
11. Beginning in July, 1968, almost 75% of all men inducted by
Selective Service will be college graduates.

THE COMMITTEE FOR INFORMED YOUNG AMERICANS
FRIENDSHIP STATION
Box 5568
Washington, D. C, 20007
Recently, communication, (verbal, physical, or printed) con-
cerning the topics of war, nationalism, or the draft have had the
tendency to gather opprobrious labels like a magnet. "Communism,"
"subversion," and "treason" are among those not uncommon labels.
For this reason I wish to offer a bit of explanation, before
a misunderstanding is created. "What you don't know about the
draft law . . . could kill you!!!" is a press release from The Com-
mittee for Informed Young Americans. It is printed by the Echo,
with the realization that the statements made are quite general in
nature. The generalities might lead to some doubt.
The committee is a private group with three goals:
1. "To help every potential draftee in America become aware of
what action he may take to be placed in the most optimum
classification for his individual goals.'
2. "To publicize litde known ways, which are allowed by the draft
law, to serve your country other than by being classified "LA"
and being inducted."
3. "To focus the attention of the country upon the merits and
liabilities of the present draft system."
Being objective (that is — not worrying about losing our friends
or our young bods in the jungle) , it should not be difficult to com-
mend a group which is concerned with the general welfare of the
draftees-elect, and whose desire it is not "to make headlines but to
share . . . sources of information," without the theatrics of some
who oppose the draft system.
j.b.
I detect a spark of life;
A spark can cause a fire.
Unrest and noise make known the
spark
And also demand a change:
Change is the way of God.
Now I pray for God to blow
The sparic
Within each cool heart
Into a Flame of fervent Love:
Love that lives;
Love that shares the human an-
guish
And also the fullness of Joy;
Love that cares enough to work
And think and sweat;
Love that tries and cries, that
has its ups and downs.
This then is the love Christ starts
within us,
And we let JFlow unbounded.

I don't see this poem as "anti-
war" or "pro-war." I don't really
think that this applies to any war
in particular. This poet is just
expressing his conscience; some-
thing as interested persons we
must all do. (Yes, it is a matter
of conscience no matter what side
of the "war" debate you take.)
Last night, as I tried to sleep
a lyric awkwardly set to music
rang high and troublesome in my
ear:
"Is there a sane man anywhere
who is not a war protester?"
Who cannot hear screaming
in the purple-deep midnight of
his soul
that high, piercing note
of naked oneness
that binds him
hopelessly in blood
to the mystery man
half a world away
who his bullet kills
who his army kills
who his vote kills
who his silence kills.
Sing a song of freedom, sing a
song of death.
Sing your song at midnight tU
you re out of breath:
Onward Christian Soldiers march-
ing to a whore.
With the cross of ^brotherhood
going on before.
Each of us has heard a lonely
song.
But fortunately it is easy to
ignore,
to submerge in an orchestra
of expediency
or dominos
or national honor
or other foggy-bottom melodies
blended with the lulling
mood music of freedom.
Yes, in the silence of his alone-
ness
every sane man hates war;
but then I achingly wonder:
"Jesus H. Christ, am / sane?"
It's ok.
I'll smile at you tomorrow,
and confess
"It's too complex.
It is far too complex,"
and we'll watch the tv news
happy hour.
But later
at midnight
how the hdl
can I stop this ringing in my
The United States is in a dilemma. Some of her people are
determined that she fight the Communists; others are convinced that
war is inhuman; the government officials, who represent the people,
have the facts of the war in Southeast Asia, cannot seem to decide
what is right, but say that "there is no way out." I, too, am in
a dilemma.
Let us first discard the name "Communist," it means nothing
specific to me because I can see just as many cruel capitedists as I
-can see cruel communists. The word is a general socio-economic
term ; and beside that, the two types are converging in some societies.
Therefore, let us rather say that some people are positive that the
U.S. should fight "Charlie."
What is the U.S. accomplishing in South Vietnam? Robert
McAfee Brown says that she is wiping out villages and doing other
such damage. Several GI's that I knew (and one in particular) say
that the armed forces provide a stability in South Vietnam so that
a nation can be built. A word of background. Before Vietnam was
divided, the South was prominent in agriculture; that is, it produced
the food for the entire country. Because Hanoi was the nation's
capital and the center of industry in the North, it was the Rome
to whicih all roads led. Produce was taken from the South to Hanoi
by roads that led only north, not east or west. Finished products
were taken from the North to the South by these same vertical roads.
Consequendy, when the nation was divided, the roads no longer had
any connection; foodi had no market; and neither did products. In
the time since that division. South Vietna.m has slowly built herself
up from a land with no capital city, no industry, no unity (as
evidenced by the lack of east- west roads), and no nationalism, to
a nation with a government and with some national consciousness.
The United States has helped provide the stability in which South
Vietnam could develop.
Now perhaps the U.S. should not have entered Vietnam in the
first place. That is not the question; rather, what is the U.S. to do
today with trouble in Korea, South America, the Middle East, and
Africa? Can she just pull out of Vietnam? Those who purport that
war is inhuman would say she should. But I ask: Would not it be
just as inhuman for the U.S. armed forces to leave South Vietnam
at this point? The government officials and their supporters would
die and any semblance of government and nation would no longer
exist. The U.S. cannot pull out wholesale; she must do so gradually
and completely — ultimately.
You see my dilemma in a small, incomplete picture. I, too, see
the inhumanity in wars, although I refuse to be a militant pacifist.
But I am also realistic enough to realize the seeming inevitability
of war. Fighting among or between nations is called war, but it is
no different from fighting among or between animal groups. Men
try desperately to protect their territory and their leadership in it
just as animals guard against enemies to their region. The Korean
scene is renewed and other differences crop up around the world
involving the U.S. But we cannot afford to become pessiniistic, or
continue to be so. E^ch person has to live and extend his influence
as far as he can do so effectively. Optimism, involvement, under-
standing the person next to me, living . . . How else do you think
I remain sane??
— Beverly Minear
Note: I would suggest The Naked A^e as an interesting study in
human behavior.

The Highland Echo, February 9, 1968 -3
Whit Happened to Miryville's 0ospel?
"Then Jesus went to Nazareth
. . . And on the Sabbath day
he went as usual to the meeting
house. He stood up to read the
Scriptures . . .
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me.
He has anointed me to preach
the Good News to the poor,
He has sent me to proclaim
liberty to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the
blind,
To set free the oppressed,
To announce the year when the
Lord will save his people!'
They rose up, dragged Jesus
out of town, and took him to
the top of the hill ... to throw
him over the cliff."
Like many church -related col-
leges, there is a lot of religion
here (mostly in the form of Puri-
tan-oriented social rules and re-
quired chapel). But there is more
irreligion. We are secular from
top to bottom. Of course it is
well-hidden under a "Christian"
residue of the middle-class nice-
ties and of good-mannered
apathy. (Don't ever care enough
to lose your temper!) But what
is really Christian? What hap-
pened to the Gospel?
It is about time that we get
back to the roots, take a good
long look at Scripture, and listen
afresh to Jesus (and the Prophets
and Paul and Luther and Bon-
hoeffer and . . .) . No, this is not
a plea to return to the nineteenth
century "old-time religion" (o' la
the green Hymnals under the
glare of the blading mercury-
vapor lights) or even to the bad-
ly misunderstood and wrongly
idealized age of the first cen-
tury. But it is a plea to allow
the gospel of God's free, unfetter-
ed grace in Jesus Christ to con-
front us and to let something hap-
pen which transceno nineteenth
or twentieth centur religious
culture and which ju^t may be
best expressed in emerging
twenty-first century forms.
It hurts to hear it, but the
gospel of Jesus Christ is anti-
religious but pro-person.
By religion I mean all the
stuffy and boring tradition which
goes by the name and which
rightly turns us off: the form
without the substance, the ar-
rogant attitude without the love.
Jesus faced the forii; without
the substance. They had read the
rule-book to him from childhood I
"Don't ever break the Sabbath!
Keep the thirty-nine laws to see
that it isn't broken!" Alas, the
Pharisee forgot that "the Sab-
bath was made for the good of
man ; man was not made for the
Sabbath."
Luther felt the form without
the substance until he was "scrap-
ed marrow and a dying jelly"
(John Osborne, Luther, Act
One). Then the knife of the
Word of God cut deep into the
marrow: "He who is righteous
by faith (NOT BY FORM) shall
live."
Now hear us at the gray dawn
as we joyfully raise our scattered
voices in the form without the
substance:
This is my Father's world,
0 let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
But, is He? Napalra-sco robed
babies in Vietnam (a plague on
both your houses, Wasliington
and Hanoi!). Is He? Assassina-
tion in Seoul and intrigue off
Wonsan. Is He? Blood-stained
streets in Detroit and burned-out
rat holes in Newark.
It is too much. Maryville, build
high the walls on the citadel top I
Close the real world out and
purify us all to practice the
"priesdy snuffing around in the
sins of men in order to catch
them out" (Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
Letters and Papers from Prison^
p. 213).
I reiterate: The Gospel is anti-
religious. It stands against the
form without the substance,
against the dishonest, superficial,
false, arrogant attitude without
the love.
But to negate the negation, the
Gospel is pro-person. GOD IS
LOVE (not the Prime Mover Un-
moved and certainly not just the
sublime and fiery Law-Giver).
Love came down in Jesus Christ,
who was stern to the Pharisee,
contemptuous of the rule-bound
traditionalist, angry at the
money-grabbing priest but kind
to the backward, compassionate
to the poor, and forgiving to the
prostitute.
"He has anointed me to preach
Good News . . . liberty . . . and
recovery of sight . . ." Among
others, Paul picked it up and
preached it in all kinds of tradi-
tional synagogues. They called
him anarchist (technically, anti-
nominian, or basically, anti-re-
ligious) . But he was a brave man
and took his chance on the Holy
Spirit, who always makes the
Gospel contemporary.
Some of us pick it up, and they
also say: "He wants to destroy
the image, ruin the structure,
and create chaos out of order!"
But does not a loving Gospel
say to Maryville: "Find the real
priorities? Does not the Holy
Spirit supersede all laws? Are
not people more important than
principles?" The Gospel calls for
person-centered action. This may
well be the twenty-first century
form.
Dr. David Young has given us
the best of all good examples of
this. Why not admit some cultur-
rally deprived, socially oppressed,
intellectually blind freshmen who
want "out" from the ghetto? By
some, I suggest 15% of the en-
tering class. Now this is what I
mean when I say, the Gospel is
pro-person : Can we pay the love-
price of upperclass student tutors
(I mean time), of professor-
counsellors (again, more time),
and of administration money (I
mean a crash scholarship pro-
gram and a special pre-college
course in the summer).
As a witness to the conservative
community, as a service to the
fragmented nation, for the
awakening of our dying Christian
community, we say it is time:
"Maryville, be a lamp set on a
Southern hill. 0 ghettos of the
North, open your gates. The
roads lead South."
Now, what happened to the
Gospd?

Following Dr. Copeland's pre-

cussion concerning the structure
and its relationship to Student
Council and Student-Faculty Sen-
ate. It was felt that Student-
Faculty Senate should have more
responsibility in the committee
structure. A motion was present-
ed to accept the action of the
Executive Council with the ad-

ON GOVERNMENT
A fourth part to this series has been added to give students and
faculty information concerning another important system of govern-
ment at Maryville.
The Executive Council of the Faculty, which is a representative
body responsible for making all faculty decisions and regulations,
meets twice a month to discuss and help determine policy in all areas
affecting the total community. One of its chief concerns is the
academic life, including curriculum, calendar, and requirements for
admission, promotion, and graduation. It is ultimately responsible to
the president and the Board of Directors of the College. The process
by which the recent curriculum revision was made illustrates one
way in whidh the Council operates. After receiving reports frofm
the joint committee of the Board and the faculty appointed to make
preliminary studies and formulate plans, the Council deliberated
and approved the recommendations that were then presented to the
Board of Directors for final approval. The Council recommends to
the Board all candidates for degrees, including honorary degrees.
When major policy changes are not involved, the Council takes
final action. In addition to matters that arise from within the body
itself, it receives and acts upon recommendations from the Student-
Faculty Senate and various student and faculty committees — such
rfKJommendations as those concerning standards and regulations, new
organizations, and all-campus programs. One of the most recent
actions was the delegating of its authority in disciplinary cases to
the newly created Judicial Council and Review Board.
The twenty-five members of the Executive Council are chosen
from three different categories: (1) three- f if hts of the department
chairmen, on a rotating basis, for terms of three years each: (2) six
additional representatives of the instructional staff, appointed for
terms of two years each; and (3) administrative officers and
librarian. The president of the College serves as chairman, the
academic dean as vice-chairman, and the secretary of the faculty
as secretary.
A guitar, a crowded litrie chapel; Rodin's The Kiss, the words
^'we not I," . . . and . . . two people, talking about love. This was the
Pray-In Thursday evening, February 1. Reading a dialogue mostly
from the Bible, some from Walt Whitman, and some from Bob
Hamer, Winifred Welling and Bob talked about love: not the
ordinary kind of sex love, but peopled love, love given freely to
one human being from another, and, love received openly by all
who want it. The room was small, the people silent, and they prayed
about love.
Barbara Bush
was not a second due to con-
fusion on the issues, so Student
Council was adjourned and re-
scheduled to meet Thursday
night at 8:30.
President Doug Gamble called
the meeting to order and discus-
sion continued concerning the
role of Student-Faculty Senate.
Two plans were presented incor-
porating Student-Faculty Senate
in the committee proposal. The
first plan proposed that the
Special Committee and the Com-
mittee on Committees select the
members of each of the sub-com-
mittees. Then the function of the
Special Committee would be to
designate responsibilities to these
5 committees with any re-
commendations being sent direct-
ly to Student-Faculty Senate or
Executive Council. The other plan
Will the North Koreans make a deal with the Pueblo?
Can we afford two fronts in Southeast Asia?
Where does the money for defense come from? education? poverty
program? space program?
Will Defense Secretary Clifford change our war policy?
Will Detroit's new employment policy avoid a hot summer?
What will Arkansas Governor Rockefeller do about the disappearance
of some two hundred inmates within the walls of the state
penitentary ?
Whom do you support for President of the U.S.A.?
Is Johnson's reputation completely unsatisfactory?
Is Nixon necessarily a loser?
What of Wallace?
Any other bids? New York Governor Rockefeller?
Are there any predictions as to when World War III will be officially
declared?
placed the Student- Faculty Sen-
ate under the auspices of the
Special Committee, but the power
and function of the Senate would
be similar to the first plan. It
was then moved that Doug Gam-
ble and Doug Price be given the
authority to negotiate for Stu-
dent Council in Executive Coun-
cil with the idea of suggesting
possible dates for committee re-
ports. This motion was carried.
A second motion was presented
requesting that the first plan be
presented to Elxecutive Council as
the preferred proposal of Stu-
dent Council. This was a unami-
ous decision. Final action in-
volved council's decision to give
a one-year subscription of Ram-
parts magazine to the library.
The meeting was adjourned at
9:30.

The Maryville Scots dealt the
Mars Hill Lions a 79-76 setback
last Saturday night. After a slow
start, the Scots took the lead at
7-5 and never relinquished it.
The lead continued to build as
the Scots hit well from the floor
and the foul line. The team's de-
fense was also a key factor in
building a twelve point first half
lead. On numerous occasions the
Scots cleared the ball off the
backboards and moved quickly
down court for the score. Bill
Padgett lead the first half scorers
with 20 points.
The second half saw the Scots
cool off a bit from their hot first
half. Mars Hill's press slowly cut
down the lead that it took the
Scots the whole first half to build.
But they could never catch the
Scots as they often hit the clutch
foul shots alnd scored from the
field when they needed it. The
Scots put four men in double
figures. The two starting guards,
captain Don Payne and Dave
Maxwell, scored 20 and 10 points
respectively, including Don's per-
fect night on the foul line (8-8).
Forward Bill Padgett lead the
Scots with 24 points and forward
Mike Barrows contributed 11.
The Scots now carry a two game
win streak into the game against
Milligan College on Monday
night.

RALPH JOHNSON
Ralph Johnson is Maryville's
record-setting and record break-
ing wrestler. He holds to his
credit a National Prep School
Wresding Championship, two
SEC wrestling championships,
and a personal record of pinning
his opponent in 52 seconds.
Ralph is a senior history major
from New York. He came to
Maryville four years ago as a
champion, and has furthered his
record since. During his fresh-
man and junior years he became
a SEC champion, and hopes to
do it again this year.
About wresding Ralp'h had
several comments. He feels that
wrestling is one of the most de-
manding sports, not only for the
match itself, but also for the hard
preparations. Besides strenuous
daily workouts, there is the trial
of making weight. Ralph has to
lose about thirty pounds to begin
the season plus weekly diet curbs.
Ralph also feels that the individ-
uality makes it rougher. "There
aren't 11 other guys you can
count on, it's just you to win or
lose."
Maryville was ranked as a pos-
sible third in the SEC ratings
this year, and Ralph feels we
have some good men who could
put us there. He is especially
hopeful for Harry Burnett, Lynn
Dodez, and Ray Nye.
Maryville has a fine wresder
in Ralph Johnson, so let's all give
him our support for a good end-
ing for this season.

On Thursday, January 25,
1968, the University of Chatta-
nooga, which had earlier in the
year "begged out," finally show-
ed up on the mat. The Scots look-
ing in the best shape ever proved
to be the top team. All of the
Scots wresded aggressive, hard
-fought matches, which show-
ed that their hard work both
physical and mental was paying
off. The evening was highlight-
ed by pins in the 120 lb. class by
Ray Nye, 137 lb. class by Ralph
Johnson, and the 191 lb. class
by Lynn Dodez. But the two most
exciting matches of the evening
were the 160 lb. and the 177 lb.
classes, neither of which were
pins. Harry Burnett who had
been sick all week with the flu
went on to win a magnificant
match at 177. Likewise Nick at
167 wresded a great match, but
because the man who was keeping
riding time failed to record thirty
seconds in the first period,
the match ended in a tie. The
Scots are really wresding as a
team, a team that will place very
high in the S.EC.
I would like to be able to love
my country and stiU love justice.
Albert Camus
oW/Qa^es ^^r? one
Don't let the score decieve you
because the Maryville grapplers
wrestled another tremendous
match last Saturday night. The
Scots were host to a very power-
ful and experienced Milligan Col-
lege team. It was this same squad
that all but shut-out the Scots
earlier in the season. Thus hav-
ing improved tremendously in
the past weeks the Scots really
gave Milligan something to think
about. Again the Scots depended
on their "Old Reliable Four" Nye,
Johnson, Nicholas and Burnett
all of who had wins for the
Scots.
Maybe a good way to illustrate
the improved abilities of the team
would be to single out a man
such as John Forgety. John, al-
ways a aggressive wresder, wrest-
led his best match of the year
last Saturday only because his
hard work in practice enabled
him to set up and execute moves
important in developing a win-
ning style.
It was a long awaited and well-
earned victory that lit up the
Scots' scoreboard Monday night,
Jan. 22. Playing well on both
ends of the court, the Scots kept
the Bryan College Lions OUT of
the "cage" and bagged a respect-
able 54 percent field goal average
and a 61-45 rebound advantage
to win the game by a score of
99-77.
Although the Scot defense in
the second half was not as strong
as in the first, they were able to
maintain their 10-point half time
lead. A rally by the Lions failed
and the Scots' lead enabled Coach
Baird to introduce some new
faces to the Maryville fans. They
all played a great game and show
good potential for upcoming sea-
sons.
Come growl a litde — for us!
P.S. The Sports staff would like
to apologize to Coach Baird for
sticking him with three technical
fouls in the Lee College game
when he only received one. We're
giving him the other two on
credit and hope that we can re-
possess them at the end of the
season!

No. 12
Investigation Proposal Passed by Executive Council
Some definitions:
1. hypocrisy — the false as
sumption of an appearance of
virtue or religion.
2. generation — a group of in-
dividuals bom and living con-
temporaneously.
3. individual — a single human
being as contrasted with a
social group or institution.
In this environment, whicli
does little to recognize the fad
of participation in the consump-
tion of alcohol or the enjoyment
of sex, which demands and as-
sumes at least a passive adherence
to Christianity, and which would
be aghast at the standard vocabu-
lary of the normal student (male
and female), many people (stu-
dents and faculty) are beginning
to vocalize a feeling of being
forced into a great act of hypo-
crisy. Or of being forced into
leaving.
Is this a valid comment? Is
there really a generation gap at
MC? I fed that an emphatic
"yes" is in order.
Is an individual welcome? I
mean an honest individual who
choses to stray from the accept-
able mold, no matter how flexi-
ble it may be? In theory, yes. In
reality, probably not. Unless he
plays the game and smiles on
cue. And this is not a denial of
the need for regulation.
A reaction will be, "We don't
want any such people. They knew
our stand before they came."
If we accept this attitude, we
are denying membership in our
community to a great portion of
those now present. What does
such a reaction do to Drs. Stine
and Young and their call for us
to mean what we say?
It has been quite adequately
proved that a great many MC'ers
drink. And it is not a passing
fancy. Some smoke pot. Or
cigarettes. Or worse. Many en-
gage in sex. Many drive cars.
Many are quite agnostic.
Has anybody demonstrated
why this should not be so? Such
a demonstration, which may be
possible, would involve a re-
cognition of these facts. So far,
the college has not been ready to
do so.
When MC has a pot raid, what
will the college do? Should the
college provide means to pro-
hibit pregnancy? Is the prohibi-
tion of anything the most practi-
cal and effective educational
method?
Have you read the Graffitti
in the Chapel? What makes stu-
dents in a Christian college say
those things? If you don't know,
do you not think you should? If
you don't care (or if you hope it

Miss Usa Sergio
At the January 24ch meeting of the Student Council, President Copeland and Dr. Blair were
present to explain the changes made by the Executive Council in the newly proposed Committee on
College Community Life and Structure. The proposal was submitted to the Executive Council three
weeks earlier.
The problem, and the one that remained the central issue throughout the meeting, was the elimi-
nation, by the Executive Council, of the Student Faculty Senate. Under the revised system of the Execu-
tive Council, the Student Faculty Senate would have been relegated under the Student Standards Com-
mittee. After debating the issue, with Student Council mmbers as well as student body members. Presi-
dent Copeland agreed to discuss the problem with the Executive Council, along with Doug Gamble and
Doug Price. The following is the resuh of the Action of the Executive Council on February 7. The starred
portions of the proposal are those added by the Executive Council after the January 24 meeting of
the Student Council. A diagram showing the structure of the committees, and th( new position of the
Student Faculty Senate appears in this issue of The Highland Echo.
February Meetings Continue
Lisa Sergio, specialist and lecturer in world affairs, will be on
the campus of Maryville College on February 1 5 as a Danforth Visit-
ing Lecturer.
While here Miss Sergio will give a public lecture on "The
Changing Shape of World Affairs" and a convocation address, "To-
day's Youth is Tomorrow's Power."
The visiting lecturers program under which Miss Sergio comes
here was initiated in 1957 by the Arts Program of the Association
of American Colleges, and is supported by a grant from the Danforth
Foundation. Its purpose is to assist colleges in their efforts to
strengthen liberal education. Each year several men and women of
outstanding intellectual stature from this country and abroad are
made available to colleges and universities. They remain on campus
from two days to a week.
A pioneer in mass communication, Miss Sergio was the first
woman radio commentator in Europe, and a trail blazer among
women newscasters in the United States. As a platform and classroom
lecturer, she is regarded as one of the best informed and most ef-
fective analysts of international affairs both here and abroad.
The only child of an Italian nobleman and his American wife.
Miss Sergio was born and reared in Florence, cradle of the Renais-
sance, where, still a school girl, she began her professional career.
At fifteen she translated a play from French into Italian and wit-
nessed its production; at seventeen she was associate editor of the
only English weekly in Italy to which many famous writers became
regular contributors. Soon she turned from journalism to archaeology,
worked on excavations at Ostia and Pompeii, wrote a guide book to
the latter place, and at Ostia had an ancient Roman tomb named for
her.
In 1932, when Mussolini's regime was still regarded as an asset
for Italy, she entered the field of broadcasting and, at the suggestion
of Marconi, the inventor of radio, became Europe's first woman com-
mentator and the official English interpreter for the Fascist dictator.
By 1936, when the regime invaded Ethiopia and in other ways re-
vealed its aggressive purposes and despotic objectives. Miss Sergio
became one of its most daring opponents. In 1937, it was only
through the aid of Marconi that she was able to evade arrest and
reach the United States in safety.
A few days after landing in New York she was signed up by
the NBC network and, among father programs, was the first woman
musical commentator on opera broadcasts and symphony concerts.
With the outset of World War II she turned exclusively to news
broadcasting over the ABC network and station WQXR, and was
recognized among the nation's twenty leading news commentators.
During the war Miss Sergio entered the lecture field, and later
taught a course in propaganda analysis at Columbia University in
New York.
An indefatigable world traveler, to keep constantly abreast of
the news, she is intimately acquainted with all of Europe, the Com-
munist countries as well as the free nations, is familiar with the
Middle East, East and North Africa, and much of Southeast Asia.
Under State Department auspices she has lectured all over India and
Pakistan. She visited several countries of Latin America in the fall
of 1967.
Active in public affairs. Miss Sergio has served on two Presi-
dential Committees on International Cooperation, on the Board of
the International Business and Professional Women, on the Broad-
casting and Film Commission of the Council of Churches, Church
Women United, the Department of Information of the Episcopal
diocese of Washington, and other organizations both religious and
secular. Her volunteer activities include a weekly Sunday morning
broadcast (WMAL, Washington, D. C, 8:00 A.M.) called "Prayer
Through the Ages." She has also pubUshed a book entitled "Prayers
of Women."
The recipient of many awards for broadcasting. Miss Sergio has
also received two honorary degrees (Doctor of Laws, St. Mary's
College, Notre Dame; Doctor of Humane Letters, Keuka College.
Keuka Park, New York) and was made a Chevalier of the Legion of
Honor by the French Governnient for her work as a news commen-
tator.
PEACE CORPS
IN TROUBLE
WASHINGTON (CPS) — The
Peace Corps, once the Mecca of
many student idealists, is on the
threshold of what could be the
most crucial period in its seven-
year history.
Few will deny that the Peace
Corps has been one of the most
successful and popular of the
New Frontier programs initiated
during the Kennedy Administra-
tion. But the Peace Corps now
faces many new and delicate
problems, most of them a direct
result of the war in Vietnam.
The tactfulness with which
these problems are solved within
the next few years may well
determine whether or not the
Peace Corps can survive on a
large scale, and if it can, how
effective it will be in accomplish-
ing its original mission.
Peace Corps officials — who in
the past have had little trouble
convincing young people to give
up two years of their life to work
in an underdeveloped country —
now find themselves on the de-
fensive for the first time. The
major problem is the Peace
Corps' close association with the
federal government at a time
when the government is unpopu-
lar among young people.
Peace Corps officials, includ-
i n g Agency Director Jack
Vaughn, are not ready to admit
the Corps has problems. But
some other high-ranking govern-
ment officials have confirmed
SUSGA Meets
On the weekend of January 26
the President, Vice-president, and
two members of the Student
Council went to Cookeville, Ten-
nessee, home of Tennessee Tech,
for the annual Termessee regional
SUSGA (Southern Universities
Student Government Association)
convention. The four students
who went, Gamble, Price, Shep
Spear, and Brian Childs, attend-
ed discussions concerning campus
entertainment, student powers
and rights, judiciaries, constitu-
tions, and academic involvement.
As the meetings went on, it
appeared to the Maryville dele-
gates that they had more to con-
tribute, as far as academic pro-
gress is concerned, tham most
other Tennessee schools, and they
really learned very little of what
the other delegates called "new
material and ideas." In the words
of one of the delegates "their
mouths dropped when we told
them of our Student Judiciary
and New Curriculum."
It was stated by the President
of the Student Body of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee, Martin, that
the main purpose of a Student
Government was to provide cam-
pus entertainment. This appear-
ed to set the theme for the entire
weekend. Most of the meeting
time was taken up in talking ab-
stractly of some "ideas" concern-
ing progressive education and
very little time was afforded to
the actual process in obtaining
these modern concepts. All four
Maryville students agreed that
though Maryville has much to do
to make it an ideal institution, it
does appear to be far ahead of
the other Tennessee schools re-
presented at the SUSGA con-
ferance. As Gamble told the
Chairman of the Termessee Area
SUSGA region, "We aren't in-
terested in being categorized with
the other small colleges; we are
competing with the big boys."
Other schools represented at
the meeting were the University
of Tennessee, the University of
Tennessee, Martin, Termessee
Tech, Lambath College, Austin
Peay, Pea body, Lincoln Memorial
University, and Carson-Newman
College.
privately that the Corps may be
in trouble.
Recruiting figures alone in-
dicate the Peace Corps has less
appeal now than it had a year
ago. In November, 1966, the
Peace Corps received 7,097 ap-
plications from college seniors.
Last November, applications
were filed by only 3,768 seniors,
nearly a 50 per cent reduction.
Overall, the Peace Corps re-
ceived 9,661 applications last No-
vember, compared with 12,411
in November of 1966. Recruiting
also was down in December, with
the Corps receiving 7,095 ap-
plications last December, com-

EDITORIAL
Since the Student Council proposal first appeared in the Echo o.i
January 19, those concerned with the re-evaluation of various aspects
of MC's life have anxiously watched the growth of these plans, even
while they experienced momentary sethacks. The first draft of the
issue through Executive Council did not comply with the wishes of
Student Council on the matters of definite dates for committee re-
ports, nor was the Committee on Committees (Nominating Com-
mittee) given a place in selecting committee members for the study
groups which were bt^ng formed. (This Committee on Committees
was developed by the Judiciary Committee of Student Council when
the new judicial system was developed, with the idea that committee
would be exercised in the formulation of other college committees.)
What did become part of the Executive Council action was the
Special Committee on College Community Life and Structure, a com-
mittee which will oversee study groups concerned with five various
aspects of Maryville College. With the assistance of negotiation be-
tween Student Council and Executive Council, we see ourselves with
five committees for studying the total life of MC and the assurance
that we are going to see action immediately. Keincorporated dead-
lines for committee reports and the Committee on Committees can
assure the Student Body that definite movement is imminent.
None of the actions above were as easily formulated as they
appear when reading from a paper. There was misunderstanding
galore on Student Council. The Executive Council did not receive the
original version of the S.C. proposal to act upon, but rather one
that incorporated some of the ideas of the S.C. proposal. The first
action by the Executive Council was unacceptable to those who listen-
ed to the explanation of it by Dr. Copeland at a Student Council
meeting. To top off the student "activism" on the subject, students'
interests and reactions were interpreted as mistrust and negativism.
Among the many things that Dr. Cantelon said to a few last
weekend was that an institution in turmoil is a healthy state of
affairs. It is that group of "creatively anxious" people who will work
to get things accomplished. While mistrust may have been part of
the student reaction to the state of affairs surrounding the first
Executive Council action, is it not possible that the "negativism"
was actually this creative anxiety? If we accept the ideas of analysis
(cutting up) and synthesis (putting back together — hopefully im-
proved), I feel that much, heretofore interpreted as negativism and
positivism, can actually be seen by observers as analysis and synthesis
carried on by those whose spirit, I dare say. will stand a rigorous test
against real negativity.
Examine the actions passed by the Executive Council and gather
up your views on the issues involved. The student views are
tremendously important to the entire study — a study which, we
have no reason to question, will bring the sweeping changes to the
other phases of life at MC as the curriculum study has brought to the
academic life this year. Let us move forward and speak, with analysis
and synthesis not far from the center of our word choice.

I don't think of marital in-
fidelity when I read this poem.
Really it can be applied to many
situations. With sadness we often
abandon people, institutions, and
countries out of utter despair and
we turn to things that really aren't
alternatives. But if that's all one
has to be true too . . .
THE DRUNKARD
I had a wife, but she is gone.
She left me a week ago. God
Bless Her!
I married another in the rear
of Mike's Saloon. It was a gallon

burned the throat of man. I will
be true to my new wife. You can

As far as the other schools represented in SUSGA are concerned
(see article on the Tennessee SUSGA meeting) Maryville
College seems to far ahead in idea if not it practice. SUSGA seems
to be slow, and Maryville I am glad to say seems to at least want
to progress and "catch up" to the "big boys" that it wants to com-
pete with. Having been a representative to the Tennessee SUSGA
meeting I have strong doubts as to the relevance of SUSGA to the
unique Maryville situation.
It appears to the majority of the student body that the primary
concern of a Student Government is NOT to provide entertainment
or set standards of "good sportsmanship" or just talk about student
power. Certainly campus entertainment is important, as long as the
student body wants it, and good sportsmanship is always desired.
But student power and involvement is NOT something to be just
talked about. Something must be done.
SUSGA's constitution clearly states that it intends to have no
off campus involvement. It wants to stay completely non-political. It
seems to want to stay encapsulated on campus and reject just what
the student body at Maryville has been wanting: more involvement
in the "real" world. As far as a student organization is concerned
SUSGA is not concerned about the war in Viet-Nam, or the race
situation, and it has nothing to say or do to help church related col-
leges . . . well, like Maryville.
I think that it is time we the students of Maryville gave a long
hard look at SUSGA and then give another long look at NSA. What
do the two have to offer to Maryville College?
NSA (or USNSA, United States National Student Association)
is the largest student organization of its kind. It offers something
to every member. Everything from lawyers to protect the rights of
student body presidents and newspaper editors to chartered planes
for tours of Europe at remarkabley inexpensive rates. But most im-
portant it has an office dedicated to work with the problems of the
student bodies of SMALL CHRISTIAN COLLEGES! The NSA has
made statements on student power, Viet-Nam, Pot, and presidential
elections. But not only is NSA making statements it is doing some-
thing about it. Many students can vote in national elections, lest we
forget.
I ask for an investigation of SUSGA and NSA by our Student
Council and then when all the information is recorded we should
have a student reforendum about withdrawing from SUSGA and
joining NSA.
Meanwhile I will remember the dialogue at the Tennessee
SUSGA meeting that went something like this:
SUSGA Speaker: "What do ya'll think of course evaluation, I hear
it is a new thing!"
Doug Gamble: "I filled out an Interim evaluation yesterday, ah . . ."
b.c.
News of a bright idea put to
work was reported in the Febru-
ary 1 issue of Presbyterian Life,
our denominational trade mag, as
the first of "Saturday Thoughts. "
The idea: make known the offer
of the "Community of the Fish"
to supply help where it is need-
ed. Now Box 2470 has offered
to receive volunteers for member-
ship in our (College (Community
of the Fish. Send your name
and/or hox number to Box 2470
if you are willing to do what
you can lo help individuals in
distress. If the need is transporta-
tion, a baby-sitter, brainstorm-
ing session, study help, emer-
gency suoplies, an extra hand, or
a friend to listen, etc., the co-
ordinated community effort will
fill the need. For now, put offers
or requests in Box 2470, or make
a sign appealing to the Fish.
Faculty and townspeople are
urged to participate. To tap re-
"^ources of willing Fish is a fun
tiling.

February 10, 1968
Dear Sir;
I have just finished reading the
Editorial titled "What you don't
know about the draft law . . .
could kill you!!!" and am react-
ing. That is the reason this is
being written, as a reaction to
something that bothered me
greatly. Perhaps I am responding
in a manner that might well be
classified as a 'sentimental fem-
ale.' By some chance combination
of chromosomes, I do not have
to be drafted or weigh the heavy
life and death question. However,
I cannot help thinking that this
thing called freedom must be
worth something. People have
dared against tremendous odds to
get it; others have decided that
it was worth dying for. For some
reason they were "willing to die
so that honor and justice might
live." Those are words from a
song called 'The Impossible
Dream' Maybe freedom is just
an 'impossible dream,' yet men
in the past thought it enough of
a reality to strive to secure it for
future generations. Sometimes it
occurs to me that people accept
this gift without considering the
great responsibilities that go with
it. It's true that these respon-
sibilities don't always include
war, but sacrifices still must be
made. There is something in the
idea of bring able to live without
being afraid to say what is in
your mind, or to write those feel-
ings, publicly, without being
branded a traitor for doing so,
that makes me think freedom is
worth having. Yes, there are risks
and obligations. In a movie called
'The Great Escape,' fifty men
dared to get it; in the end, only
three really made it. This idea
that many men would die for it,
is staggering. Thus it really
bothers me when 'draft card
burners' object; they seem to for-
get that being able to object is
a big part of a freedom that can
so easily be taken away.
This is not meant to be a call
for all men to run out and enlist.
No; merely, as stated above, a
reaction that had to be aired. I
feel there are demands that must
be faced, obligations that one
must bear simply because he was
bom. It is easy, I guess, to write
such ideas from this vantage
point, yet I cannot help but
think that the half-million guys
over there are making it possible
for somebody else to someday
know the joy of freedom I know.
The patriotic sermon is over.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lynne Taylor

Our solid American citizen awakens in a bed built on a pattern
which originated in the Near East, but which was modified in
Northern Europe before it was transmitted to America. He throws
back covers made from cotton, domesticated in India, or linen,
domesticated in the Near East, or silk, the use of which was discover-
ed in China. All of these materials have been spun and woven by
processes invented in the Near E^ast. He slips into his moccasins, in-
vented by the Indians of the Eastern woodlands, and goes to the
bathroom, whose fixtures are a mixture of European and American
inventions, both of recent date. He takes off his pajamas, a garment
invented in India, and washes with soap invented by the ancient
Gauls . . .
He puts on garments whose form originally derived from the
skin clothing of the nomads of the Asiatic steppes, puts on shoes
made from skins tanned by a process invented in ancient Egypt and
cut to a pattern derived from the classical civilizations of the Mediter-
ranean, and ties around his neck a strip of bright-colored cloth which
is a vestigial survival of the shoulder shawls worn by the seventeenth-
century Croatians. Before going out for breakfast he glances through
the window, made of glass invented in Egypt, and if it is raining
puts on overshoes made of rubber discovered by the Central Ameri-
can Indians and takes an umbrella, invented in southeastern Asia.
Upon his head he puts a hat made of felt, a material invented in the
Asiatic steppes.
On his way to breakfast he stops to buy a paper, paying for it
with coins, an ancient Lydian invention. At the restaurant a whole
new series of borrowed elements confronts him. His plate is made
of a form of pottery invented in China. His knife is of steel, an
alloy first made in southern India, his fork a medieval Italian in-
vention, and his spoon a derivative of a Roman original. He begins
breakfast with an orange, from the eastern Mediterranean, a canta-
loupe from Persia, or perhaps a piece of African watermelon. With
this he has coffee, an Abyssinian plant, with cream and sugar. Both
the domestication of cows and the idea of milking them originated
in the Near East, while sugar was first made in India. After his fruit
and first coffee he goes on to waffles, cakes made by a Scandinavian
technique from wheat domesticated in Asia Minor. Over these he
pours maple syrup, invented by the Indians of the Eastern wood-
lands. As a side dish he may have the egg of a species of bird
domesticated in Indo-China, of thin strips of the flesh of an animal
domesticated in Eastern Asia which have been salted and smoked
by a process developed in northern Europe.
When our friend has finished eating he settles back to smoke,
an American Indian habit, consuming a plant domesticated in
Brazil in either a pipe, derived from the Indians of Virginia, or
a cigarette, derived from Mexico. If he is hardy enough he may
even attempt a cigar, transmitted to us from the Antilles by way of
Spain. While smoking he reads the news of the day, imprinted in
characters invented by the ancient Semites upon a material invented
in China by a process invented in Germany. As he absorbs the ac-
counts of foreign troubles he will, if he is a good conservative citizen,
thank a Hebrew deity in an Indo-European language that he is 100
per cent American.

The New "Hope For
International Understanding"
In international affairs Maryville (College has generally ex-
pressed more concern than most colleges throughout the United
States, but it has not been enough. There has usually been a wide
representation of foreign countries; this year seven foreign students
are registered at Maryville and more than fifteen students have homes
overseas. How many of them do you know? Too often we view inter-
national relations as the affairs of people "out there" in a world
separate from ours, for we fail to see in our immediate environment
the many factors directly or indirectly affected by other countries.
There is an imminent need to increase our awareness of global af-
fairs and problems today.

national Relations Club faded

A sublime religion inevitably generates a strong feeling of
guilt. There is an unavoidable contrast between loftiness of pro-
fession and imperfection of practice. And, as one would expect, the
feeling of guilt promotes hate and brazenness. Thus it seems that
the more sublime the faith the more virulent the hatred it breeds.

PEACE CORPS,
cont. from p. ], col. 5
pared with 8,288 in 1966.
Peace Corps officials, how-
ever, claim these figures should
not be interpreted as meaning the
Corps is losing its appeal to stu-
dents. "The decrease is attribut-
able to the style of recruiting in
the fall of 1966 compared to that
in 1967," one official explained.
"In late 1966, we put on a major
recruiting drive which hit its
peak in November. In 1967, how-
ever, we visited 25 per cent few-
er schools in the fall. During the
current academic year, we will
have our major recruiting effort
in the spring."
Since most Peace Corps volun-
teers come direcdy from the cam-
pus, the Corps' recruiting figures
are based on the academic year.
So far, applications this year are
running about 4,000 behind last
year. "But with our major re-
cruiting drive still ahead of us,
we expect to at least equal last
year's figures," Vaughn said.
Despite efforts by Corps of-
ficials to convince the public that
it is not losing its appeal, officials
admit the Corps is more con-
troversial on the campus today

Enovid Takes The Worry
Out Of Being Close
Abortion is a revolting word. One conjures images of a clandes-
tine meeting in an upstairs room with some almost-doctor and dirty
shades and (please dear God let them be) clean instruments and
money given and ... a murder. The "package" (child of love?)
disposed of, several lives are prevented from being made . . . un-
comfortable. There is, however, another kind of abortion performed
half a world away. A sickly woman crudely aborts herself with
a rusty pin and packs her wound in cow dung for magical healing.
This is India where a baby is not an inconvenience but rather an-
other share taken from an already insufficient food supply. A preg-
nancy means not adjustment but starvation. In India you see women
coming to a hospital (a mission hospital — you ready Jesus?) to be
cleaned out after a self-inflicted abortion and dying because it was
too late, or because relatives refused to give blood, or simply
because the will was not there.
Come back to America and not have a culture shock (maybe
I'm too arrogant for that) , but a culture discomfort. Perhaps an em-
barrassment. Not at our material riches while Indians starve. Rather
at our common poverty of values, misuse abuse misuse abuse misuse
abuse
But now our brother science has given us another gift for
which we are philosophically not ready. Abortion is outdated. The
leering killer is replaced by a scrubbed, fresh-from-college pharmacist.
But what of us — and India. How ironic that both India and America
are forced by technology into coming once more to grips with the
same age-old, always-avoided problem, abuse misuse abuse misuse

any
than at
history.
The main reason for this,
Vaughn said, "is a feeling that
we are an official part of the
Establishment." One government
official explained, "Before the
United States became deeply in-
volved in Vietnam, young people
did not mind so much being as-
sociated with the government, but
now they do."
However, Vaughn says the ex-
panding group of student radi-
cals who want to be completely
disassociated with the govern-
ment is not affecting the Peace
Corps. "WV don't in any sense,
or never have, tried to tailor a
message for the activist. Our,
message is more to the concern-
ed, and the concerned can be of
almost any political stripe," he
said in an interview.
But Vaughn admits Peace
Corps recruiting on campuses is
more difficult now than it was
several years ago. "Most cam-
puses are boiling," he said.
"There is more noise and more
turmoil, which makes it much
harder for us to get our message
through." A few years ago it
was easy for a recruiter to talk
with students, he said. "But now
there's a lot of rivalry, and it's
harder to get that conversation
for a half hour."
Although the Peace Corps is
associated with the "Establish-
ment," there have been no prob-
lems between recruiters and stu-
dent radicals, Vaughn said.
"Words have been exchanged on
occasion, but nothing to con-
sider a confrontation."
The major problem for Corps
recruiters comes when a college
or university gives them space
in their placement office rather
than a prominent open area on
campus, such as in the Student
Union Building, Vaughn said.
"We don't seek respectability.
All we seek is a chance to talk,
and if nobody knows where you
are, your exposure is so limited
you don't have a chance to talk."
When Vaughn talks about the
present status of the Peace Corps,
he emphasizes that the total num-
ber of volunteers overseas — now
about 15,000 — is higher than
ever before, and the Corps is ex-
panding at the rate of about eight
new countries a year.
Whether this expansion can
continue or not, however, is un-
certain. "In the past," Vaughn
admits, "the only thing holding
us back has been the lack of en-
ough candidates to serve as volun-
teers." Since the Corps must ap-
peal to young people who as a
group are becoming more and
more anti-govemment, this prob-
lem may be just beginning.

FINE ARTS REVIEW
Photography on Display
Forty-four photographs from
the outstanding private collection
of Mr. and Mrs. David H. Mc-
Alpin will be on view at Mary-
ville College Fine Arts Center
Gallery Thursday, February 1
through Wednesday, February
21, from 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Daily Monday through Saturday.
A circulation exhibition of The
Museum of Modem Art, New
York, selected by John Szarkow-
ski. Director of the Museum's
Department of Photography, it
shows major works by four
masters of American photo-
graphy — Edward Weston,
Charles Sheeler, Ansel Adams,
and Brett Weston.
The McAlpin Collection, begun
in the mid-1 930s, is one of the
significant private collections of
photography. "Not only do the
individual works in the collection
reflect high critical standards,"
Mr. Szarkowski has said, "but
the collection as a whole expresses
a vigorous, personal perspective."
In his introduction to the ex-
hibition, Mr. McAlpin writes:
"Our collection is not intended
to be comprehensive or repre-
sentative, as a museum collection
should be. Rather, it reflects our
personal tastes and our identifica-
tion with the concerns and aspira-
tions of the artists whose work
it represents. First among these
shared concerns has been an in-
terest in the unspoiled natural
scene of this country's unique
wilderness areas — which photo-
graphy has done so much to re-
cord and interpret, and hope-
fully, preserve."
The photographs exhibited re-
flect this concern in Edward
Weston's famed interpretations
of the dunes at Oceano in Cali-
fornia and in his photographs
taken at Aspen Valley and White
Sands, New Mexico ; Ansel
Adams' views of Old Faithful
Geyser at Yellowstone National
Park, Mt. Williamson in Califor-
nia, and clouds over the Sierra
Nevada mountains; and Bret
Weston's photographs of Nevada
dunes, the Sierras, and Yosemite
National Park. The subjects also
include urban and rural archi-
tecture, and an homage to in-
dustrial forms in Charles Sheel-
er's Meta-Mold, Cedarhurg, Wis-
consin. Two were taken outside
the United States, one being from
Sheeler's 1929 series on Chartres
Cathedral.
In 1933, Mr. McAlpin, who
had long been interested in the
graphic arts and photography,
met Alfred Stieglitz, who since
the beginning of this century
had propounded the expressive
possibilities unique to photo-
grapihy, and who had been a cen-
tral and inspiring figure to artists
and photographers. At that time,
Steiglitz had for the most part
retired from active photography
and was devoting his time and
energy to his third gallery. An
American Place, at 509 Madison
Avenue, New York.
In October of 1936, Stieglitz
presented a one-man show of
photographs by Ansel Adams;
four prints from that exhibition
formed the beginning of the Mc-
Alpin Collection.
Choir Itinerary
The itinerary for the coming tour by the Maryville College Choir
during the spring vacation has been announced by Dr. Dr. Harry H.
Harter, choir director.
The tour this year will take the choir through Georgia and
Florida. The scheduled concerts are as follows:
Thursday, March 14 — Christ Episcopal Church, Savannah,
Georgia
Friday, March 15— Rockledge Presbyterian Church, Rockledge,
Florida
Saturday, March 16— First Presbyterian Church, Boca Raton,
Florida
Sunday, March 17— A.M.: First United Presbyterian Church,
Coral Gables, Florida
P.M.: First United Presbyterian Church, Cape Coral,
Florida
Monday, March 18— Westminster United Presbyterian Church,
Bradenton, Florida
Tuesday, March 19— First Presbyterian Church, Dunedin,
Florida
Wednesday, March 20— Westminster United Presbyterian
Church, St. Petersburg, Florida
Thursday, March 21— First Presbyterian Church, Eustis, Florida
Friday, March 22— Warner Robins Air Force Base
Saturday, March 23 — Alumni Banquet, Atlanta, Georgia
Sunday, March 24^A.M.: Central Presbyterian Church,
Atlanta, Georgia
P.M.: St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Tucker,
Georgia
Following the final concert in Tucker, Georgia, the choir will travel
back to Maryville.
Some of the added pleasures and educational benefits in store
for the touring choir will be a personal guided tour of Cape Kennedy,
a swim in the Atlantic at Cocoa Beach, a trip through the Ever-
glades, a beach party outside of St. Petersburg and a motorboat trip
to privately owned islands from the inlet of Dunedin, Florida.
Several high school programs are in the process of being arranged.
Tour Manager and Bus Captain, the two posts of student leader-
ship on the tour, are selected by vote by choir members who have
toured previously. These positions will be filled by John Myers and
Arthur Masker, respectively.
The full choir will give its home concert after returning, on
Sunday, March 31, at 8:15 p.m. in the Chapel.
Men have lost their reason in nothing so much as their religion,
wtherein stones and clouts make martyrs; and, since the religion of
one seems madness unto another, to afford an account or rational
of old rites requires no rigid reader.
Sir Thomas Browne
In 1938 Mr. McAlpin began a
friendship with Charles Sheeler.
About the same time he also met
Edward Weston and his son Brett,
and began to collect many of
their prints.
Mr. McAlpin 's association with
The Museum of Modern Art dates
back to the same period, when
he met Beaumont Newhall, then
the Museum Librarian, whose
greatest interest was in photo-
graphy. In 1940 the Museum's
Department of Photography was
established, with Beaumont New-
hall as Curator and David H. Mc-
Alpin as Trustee Chairman. Mr.
McAlpin served on the Board of
Trustees until 1948 and is cur-
rently a member of the Museum's
Sub-Committee for Photography
and the Museum Corporation.
Bom in New York in 1897,
Mr. McAlpin is a special partner
in the brokerage firm of Clark,
Dodge and Co., Inc., in Manhat-
tan. He was graduated from
Princeton University in 1920,
and received a law degree from
Harvard in 1924. He and Mrs.
McAlpin make their home in
Princeton, New Jersey.
The four photographers repre-
sented in the exhibition have
been leading exponents of the
"straight approach," in which
the image seen through the
camera is unchanged in tran-
scription to pictorial form. Of Ed-
ward Weston (1886-1958), John
Szarkowski has written: "Like
Stieglitz, Edward Weston was a
creative personality of remark-
able and original force, and no
man's follower. He believed that
meaning was within the thing it-
self; his eye and intuition were
the means of discovery, not its
end. Blessed with an awareness
of power not only within himself
but within his subjects, his
pictures were an enlargement of
the external world, as well as a
projection of his own spirit. The
sensuous physical pleasure that
Weston discovered in the land-
scape exists not only in his
prints; it exists for us now in
the landscape itself."
Charies Sheeler (1883-1965) is
best-known as a painter. He took
up photography first as a liveli-
hood in 1912, and two years
later discovered the beauty of
indigenous American architec-
ture, which was reflected with
force and purity in both his
painting and photography. Sheel-
er valued photography for the
things it alone could accomplish,
and once said: "Photography is
nature seen from the eye out-
ward, painting from the eye in-
ward."
Ansel Adams, born in San
Francisco in 1902, is described
by Mr. Szarkowski: "In a time
when the pattern of creative state-
ment has favored- the personal,
the oblique, the esoteric, and the
scarce, Adams' work has been
epic, JFrontal, popular, and pro-
lific ... At its best — intense,
extroverted, and heroic —
Adams' is a major vision. In
persuading a nation of park
visitors that his seeing is their
own, he has perhaps helped to
teach his countrymen to revere
what remains of their native
landscape."
Brett Weston, bom in Los
Angeles in 1911, is the second son
of Edward Weston. At the age
of fifteen, shortly after taking up
photography, he had his first
exhibitions with his father, and
later shared portrait studios with
him. Both Westons stress es-
sentials, not only in photography,
but in a way of life. Of Brett
Weston's early work Nancy New-
hall said: "Already his intense
love of blacks and whites is
evident — black as space in
which forms move, black as
active force or repeating rhythm ;
white as pure continuous line,
an accent like a chisel cut, or
frost on darkness. Equally strong
is his feeling for dynamics. Force
and rhythm are as important to
him as form . . . Content and
mood are there too-the strange
magic of the moment when fog
advances towards the roofs and
steeples over the dark islands and
the gleaming bay."
EUROPE ON $5
LESS A DAY
By Arthur Hoppe
The President flew around the
world and then announced he was
going to appeal to our patriotism
to stay home this summer —
perhaps, say the experts, by im-
posing a $5-a-day tax on Ameri-
cans traveling abroad.
The tourist industry is wring-
ing its leis. But the announcement
has proved a boon to the guide-
book business. Already in pre-
paration, for example, is a new
work entitled: "Europe on S5
Less a Day.' Excerpts follow.
How to Get There
Planning a trip to Europe this
summer? Remember, getting
there is half the fun. Particular-
ly, if you don't get caught.
Several interesting routes will
be offered to the tourist this year.
The one that will undoubtedly
prove the most popular is the
C.E.C., or Canadian Escape Cor-
ridor.
This tour, which departs re-
gularly on moonless nights, in-
cludes an exciting crossing of
the Canadian border on snow
shoes and thence, by Under-
ground Railways, Ltd., to Free
Quebec with overnight stops
along the way in quaint old bams
and haystacks.
There we board a luxurious
Mongolian Airways Fokker bi-
plane, which lands regularly on
coded flashlight signal, for the
thrilling hop across the Atlantic.
For the crossing, travel-wise
tourists will want to go light. A
wash-and-wear wet suit and a
stay-Pressed parachute should
prove adequate.
Some Do's & Don't*
Once abroad, do avoid the
tourist traps — these being any
well-known hotel or restaurant
where U.S. Treasury Agents will
be waiting to trap unwary tour-
ists.
Do try to make your trip more
pleasant by memorizing a few
phrases in a foreign tongue. For
instance, you are bound to enjoy
your trip more if, when being
questioned by a T-man, you can
respond, "What makes you think
I'm an American, Mac?" in
Hindi or Urdu.
Do take photographs of the
sights you see as evidence for
your scrapbook of where you've
been. Don't for heaven's sake,
though, get in the picture. Re-
member, that's evidence, too.
How to Get Home
To make a Great Circle tour
of your trip you should consider
taking a Czechoslovakian Air-
liner to Havana and thence by
small fishing boat to Key West.
Should you be stopped by the
Coast Guard en route be pre-
pared to say in Spanish : "Madre
de Dios! How glorious it is to
escape at last from Fidel's slave
state to make a new home in the
land of the free."
So have an exciting, adventure-
filled trip abroad this summer.
And don't, above all, miss the
great monuments of Europe that
have so influenced our own cul-
ture. Be sure to see, for example,
the Berlin Wall.
Your heart will go out to those
poor victims imprisoned behind
it whose inalienable right to
travel has been abridged by their
totalitarian government.

ATHLETIC
SCHOLARSHIP
ACTIVATED
The Lombe Scott Honaker Memorial Academic Scholarship
Fund has been activated at Maryville College. The scholarship pro-
gram is designated to encourage high school scholar-athletes to enroll
at Maryville. Dr. Robert D. Proffitt, President of the Honaker Club,
has presented a $2,500 check to the college representing the balance
of the funds needed to activate the fund.
The Honaker Club was founded for the purpose of expressing
in perpetual memory the true virtues epitomized in the life of Coach
Honaker, leader of athletic teams at Maryville for more than 30
years. These virtues are sportsmanship, Christian living, athletic
prowess when on the fields and gentlemanly conduct when off the
field.
The fund has been established to support a permanent academic
scholarship to be awarded athletes in keeping with the high academic
standards set at the College. These scholarships are designated to
bring outstanding students who are also athletes to the campus as
part of the Maryville student body.
These academic scholarships may be granted to high school
graduates who enroll at Maryville College, to transfer students, or
to students already in the College, who participate in one or more
sports in which Maryville engages in intercollegiate competition
(football, basketball, track, baseball, wrestling, tennis, and other
sports in which the College may compete in the future).
New freshmen must be admissable to Maryville College, meeting
all admissions requirements including satisfactory qualities of
character, purpose, personality, and health. In addition they must
score at least 1050 on the combined tests of the College Entrance
Examination Board, or have a composite score of at least 24 on the
test of the American College Testing Program, and must have an
average of not less than 2.6 on a 4.0 scale for the high school
record in the subjects required and accepted for admission to Mary-
ville College. Transfer students and those already enrolled must
have a cumulative average of at least 2.6 on all college level work
to date.
ELach scholarship recipient will be recommended in writing to
the Student Help Committee by the Director of Athletics. The Com-
mittee will review the recommendations, making awards from the
list submitted and on the basis of the terms of this proposal.
Continuation of a scholarship will be dependent upon the main-
tenance by the recipient of a grade average of at least 2.6. The
cumulative average will be figured at the end of each academic year
for continuation the following year. In addition, the Athletic Director
must continue to recommend the recipient.
If a scholarship recipient's cumulative average drops below 2.6
at the end of any academic year, he will be dropped from the
scholarship list. On recommendation of the Athletic Director he may
be reinstated at the end of the following year providing his cumula-
tive average has been restored to at least 2.6, and funds are available.
Any recipient who is prevented from continuing in a sport
through illness or injury shall be continued on scholarship as long as
his grade average remains at 2.6 or above. Any recipient who
voluntarily leaves membership on a squad loses his scholarship. Any
other loss of scholarship privileges will be determined by the Student
Help Committee after consultation with, and recommendation by,
the Director of Adiletics.
The second step in the Scholarship program is to continue to
add to this permanent fund to a minimum of SI 00,000 allowing the
College to increase the number of scholarships to be awarded. The
Honaker Club members are encouraged to continue to build this
Fund.
Annual interest earned on the $25,000 permanent fund may be
matched by cash from the Honaker Club treasury to provide ad-
ditional funds for the scholarship program. Interest accrued to dale
is $1,100. Thus, $2,200 can be made available for grants to qualified
applicants for the 1968-69 school year if the Honaker Club chooses
to match the entire amount.
This amount, plus the $5,000 the College has made available
from its general scholarship fund, should enable the coaches to
recruit good student-athletes who meet the required academic
standards of the College.
Dr. Proffitt said, "This is a long awaited goal for supporters
of the Honaker Club and Maryville College and I hope Honaker
Club members and others will continue to designate gifts to the
Honaker Memorial Academic Scholarship Fund. The success of the
Honaker Club has been the result of the hard and generous con-
tributions of many people and my personal thanks goes to all who
have had a part in it."
He asked for continued support of this effort which should
better the overall athletic program at Maryville College without the
sacrifice of a sound academic emphasis that Coach Honaker lived
and taught during his lifetime.
GR-R-REAT
SCOTS!
With back-to-back wins on
their home court, the Scots went
up against Milligan College and
stole the game, winning by a
score of 85-78.
After a rough first half of
fumbling, bad passing and too
many missed shots, the Scots
shaped up and recovered from
Milligan's four-point half time
lead. The Scots pulled ahead with
the score 48-46 and maintained
a wavering lead until the end.
The second half was exciting,
with the Scots scoring 57 of their
points and playing excellent ball
on both ends of the court. The
team was really getting up there
on the boards and grabbing the
rebounds. The second half show-
ed the fans what the team can
look like and should look like.
The Scots play two games with-
in one. The first half is hardly
ever the same as the second. A
weak first half, such as in the
Milligan game, is usually follow-
ed by a strong second half, and
vice versa. In order to have a
winning team, however, it is
necessary to play both halves
with equal strength. The Scots
have the potential to win. It is
true in every sport that Maryville
College sponsors. But our record
of achievement does not show
what it should, or what we would
like it to show. Perhaps there is
something lacking somewhere.
Anyway, it is something to think
about.
Last Saturday night the Scots'
wrestlers came out of the Alumni
Gym with their best win of the
season. They beat Emory Uni-
versity of Georgia 37 — 3. The
Scots came up with five pins all
of which were in the first or
second periods. Those men that
got pins were Nye (127), Wil-
liams (130), Evaul (145), Bur-
nett (167) and Dodez at 191.
There wasn't anything that
Emory could do to tame the
Scots; when they got tough the
Scots got tougher. The Scots out
moved Emory in every period,
especially the first period where
the Scots have improved tremend-
ously in the abilities to take men
down. In fact Emory's only win
came on a lucky move with less
than a minute left in the match
of the 177 pounders.
It appears that the Scots' re-
putation as good wrestlers is be-
ginning to spread because there
were close to three-hundred
people present at the meet.

Summer Jobs!!!
Latest information on 50,000
summer jobs throughout the
United States and Canada has
just been received by the Library.
The new 1968 "Summer Em-
ployment Directory" lists specific
openings, salaries, dates of em-
ployment, names and addresses
of employers and helps on mak-
ing application. Employers in-
vite applications from high
school seniors, college students
and teachers.
Outlook for 1968 summer jobs
is cheerful! There are 12% more
jobs last summer; salaries are
$50 to $200 higher for the sea-
son.
Camp counselors and resort
workers continue to be greatest
in demand; students for camps
of special children and adults are
increasingly needed. Also, for the
more unusual jobs, counselors are
wanted for fly-tying, origami,
judo and/or karate, fencing and
puppetry.
College students are the most
sought-after summer workers,
followed closely by teachers;
high school seniors are a de-
finite third.
Information on summer job
openings is obtained from ex-
tensive resea rch conducted
among many thousands of poten-
tial summer employers through-
out the country. Included are
camps, resorts, resort hotels, na-
tional parks, ranches, restaurants
and summer theatres. Findings
are compiled before December
for each annual edition of the
hook.

What does it mean to be edu-
cated? How effectively is Mary-
viUe educating it's students? We
at Maryville may consider our-
selves fortunate in having as part
of our community those who
possessed the insight necessary
for the formulation of a remark-
able new curriculum. Fine. What
happens now? Do we allow our-
selves to watch it degenerate into
a bland program different only
in form from what was present
before it was initiated? We still
have the option of making the
education offered here unique in
a world of ever-growing intel-
lectual desolation. However, new
curricula do not the institution
make; we must ask some sig-
nificant questions about what's
going on around us here.
Education concerns not only
subject matter; it also involves a
critical evaluation of the process
of education itself. What is to be
taught? How is it to be learned?
Will it be learned? Freedom? Ex-
perimentation? Where are we at
this point?
We have all been in school at
least twelve to fifteen years. Any-
one care to do it over again? I
didn't think so. Our first twelve
years have been devoted to a pro-
cess of slow, painful regurgita-
tion. Will it be a repeated ex-
perience in a college setting or
will it be negated by refreshing
new methodology ? Education
does have a purpose. I think it
is safe to assume that most of us
are ignorant about a good many
matters. So what? For one thing,
do we treat ignorance with in-
sulation (unnecessary require-
m e n t s, attendance regulations,
etc.) or do we educate? Do we
allow persons just out of high
school to start becoming original?
Are they "ready" for such drastic
measures and challenges?
How effective is the lecture
method? Should educators have
booted this system out years ago?
Why hasn't someone screamed
before this? Surely it bothers
someone. Perhaps we haven't
even learned how to scream un-
less we are told how to. Exluca-
tion is becoming an immense
game wherein we play to obtain
the prize of an impressive grade
point average or a diploma. We
are not affected, nor are we ef-
fective. Professors are evaluated
(at least verbally) by the criteria
of hard and easy, like and dis-
like, exciting or boring. That's
about as valid as a padded bra.
When do we quit studying just
to get it ou^ of the way? Life
does not begin after school is
over; at least it shouldn't. Too
often time is spent trying to anti-
exam. If this becomes the most
cipate what will be on the next

PENTAGON COMMENTS ON
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH
by Walter Grant
WASHINGTON (CPS) — Although (^position to secret re-
search on university campuses has increased during the past six
months, the Pentagon claims universities have not responded by
backing down on their classified research agreements.
In fact, a Defense Department official said some college and
university administrations have responded by writing the Pentagon
expressing their willingness to take on secret research projects, oi
to increase the number they now have. These administrations ap-
parently want to make their positions exceedingly clear in case some
universities decide to drop their classified projects.
Dr. Arwin A. Dougal, assistant director of the Pentagon's office
for research and engineering, would not say how many universities
have expressed an interest in conducting secret research. He also
declined to list specific schools which have written the Pentagon in
this regard.
study in fields other than medi-
cine, dentistry, and allied medical
specialties; except that this re-
commendation does not affect
existing regulations governing
deferment for graduate students
who entered their second or sub-
sequent year of graduate study
in the fall of 1967. It does affect
students graduating from college
this year, as well as those who
entered the first year of grad-
uate school last fall.
"The sequence of selection in
filling calls will remain un-
changed. A change in the order
of call is not justified at this time.
Fairness and equity to all men
in the eligible age groups, as
well as the interest of Ae Nation,
require that this long standing
practice be maintained."
He did, however, indicate that
the number of schools expressing
a willingness to conduct secret
research outweighs the number
expressing concern over whether
or not universities should engage
in such projects.
Dougal conceded that some
university administrations, re-
cognizing the possibility that
some schools may discontinue
their secret Defense Department
projects, are grabbing for the
research dollar. "Some of them
may be like good businessmen
who are always trying to get more
business," he said.
But Dougal says the "large
majority" of the letters have
shown the universities "have a
sincere concern about the na-
tional security." These uni-
versities have Indicated they
realize that classified research,
although possibly undesirable, is
necessary for this nation's secur-
ity, he said.
Dougal said he can sympathize
with the opponents of secret re-
search on university campuses.
"But many aspects of Defense re-
search simply have to be with-
held from foreign knowledge, and
the only way we can do that is
to classify the project. We do
not arbitrarily declare that a pro-
ject has to be kept secret."
Defense Department research
is conducted in four basic
sectors: in-house Defense re-
search laboratories; industries;
Federal Research Contract Cen-
ters, and universities. "The uni-
versity sector is one of the very
strongest sectors," Dougal said.
Dougal also said many pro-
fessors who have been involved
in secret research projects at-
tempt to retain their security
clearances when their projects are
completed. "Many attempt to get
involved in conducting more
classified research, and others
want to serve as advisers labor-
atories," he explained.
In the past two months, there
have been some indications that
the government has been respond-
ing to the protests against classi-
fied research by easing its policies
toward secrecy. Two specific
events support this trend. They
are:
— ^T h e Pentagon announced
that it is "declassifying" some
projects now underway at uni-
versities. But the announcement
applies only to classified projects
in the area of basic research, and
most secret research falls under
the category of applied' research.
— The State Department an-
nounced that it has drawn up an
anti-secrecy code designed to ap-
ply to all research in the be-
havioral and social sciences and

Alternative?
The latest of the Vietcong offensives and the two-week-old order
from Selective Service Director Lewis xlcrshey denying occupational
and graduate school deferments have added greater intensity (and
despair?) to the dilemma in which many of my peers find them-
selves. The United States is a land of freedom, we are told. (Right?
Wrong?) Of course . . . freedom within a certain standard . . .
freedom without the standard is nothing but anarchy. So, mostly we
agree: we need standards and laws; and then, we hope, we have
a system that does not stifle individuality, but rather, protects the
individual from oppression by those who may think differently.
Utopia, thus far.
Then, we are told, this freedom is so important (and wonderful)
that each person must do something to add to it. In the past it has
been important enough that people in our country have fought to
defend it. Very true. The brave colonists sweat blood and tears in
such defense. Then men realized that this freedom was so important
that the message must be spread. So has it spread and so has it been
challenged. And again, it must be defended. Quite logical. (Except
for some people who wonder why freedom is not good enough that
many of the South Vietnamese will not buy the idea, let alone defend
it)
So we laymen ask questions ... do we have no choice in the
course which the government chooses? . . . which we as individuals
choose? We may even ask again why this freedom cannot rally more
support in Nam . . . and then . . . some prophets even wonder when
India, with its starving people and aborting mothers, might be the
hot spot ... or the backward countries of Africa ... or the already-
hostile countries of South America. Do we continually fight, jumping
from one hot spot to the next? ... or ... do people jump from
their windows when they discover that the hot spots are all bubbling
at once? So some of us feel: something must be done.
Doctors and dentists have some corny line about prevention
rather than cure. Idealistic, yes, but machines installed by the state
and tooth-brushing really do work. Even some other people think
about prevention as applied to their ideas on freedom. The problem
at this stage is that the doctors and dentists are the only people who
can continue with their ideas of prevention. Suddenly, someone has
decided for us that we worry only about the cure and to hell with
the prevention. We suddenly realize that someone has told all of us
free individuals how to think about this freedom. (Some cynical
people might even line up the fighting vs. the preventative approach
with the negative vs. positive approach.)
If Miss Sergio said anything to anyone who didn't turn off at
her third inaccurate statement, she told me that if I think this
freedom is so great, then I must demonstrate that it is great. She told
me not to put myself on the defensive (or the negative) . She told me
to prove that this was a great thing by teaching and convincing with
self-assurance. So much for the inspirational base of my opinion.
I have become psyched-up by my view of the role I can play.
(With some characteristics of idealism and many of non-violence,
I, for once, see what could be a very effective path ahead. I can help
man be free — in India, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Uganda, Ex:uador, or
Tennessee. By this I can even make my rather secular view of
Christianity come to life. I am happy . . . and there is a sense of
fulfillment just on the other side of the street ... or the world.
But suddenly, again, I realize that in the name of the freedom
which I, as an individual, love, someone has told me that the only
legal . . . and some say the only honorable . . . way to further the
cause of that freedom is to tote a gun or in some other way aid the
killing of the man I want to help. (Or are we only supposed to want
to show freedom to those south of the DMZ?) My individual channel
for aiding freedom is, even within the structure, limited as to alter-
native. My "alternative" becomes limited ... to four branches of the
service. The real alternative for those with my equipment for ex-
pressing the greatness of freedom has been undermined, in fact, by
one concept of that freedom. The Peace Corps has undergone general
stagnation under Mr. Johnson's general disinterest, and, in the
future, (for some men at least) the Peace Corps will serve as the
last chance to show real freedom to some uncivilized people ... or
perhaps ... as the stop-gap between college and their induction
into the service from their Peace Corps post. VISTA, as other internal
programs in wartime, lacks the real financial support which it needs
to run at maximum effeciency.
At any rate . . . 240,000 graduates, many losing their means
of individually expressing the freedom they really do cherish, may
have among their ranks those who, in the next four years, will wonder
occasionally if 8th grade classes are still sending pencils and tablets
to Caney Creek, Kentucky ... or if there are any more Navaho
Indians and their animals freezing to death this winter in the snow
blizzards, with only the protection of their adobe huts ... or if the
Chileans are still angry because Mr. Johnson did not attend the
funeral of their president, while he traveled to Australia for the
funeral of the president of that country ... or was he just en route
to Vietnam?

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
"... a time for war, and a time
for peace."
Several weeks ago an editorial
entitled "What You Don't Know
About the Draft Law . . . Could
Kill You!!!" was placed in thie
paper. Even though the author
made a valid attempt to create
no misunderstanding, I feel that
a misinterpretation can be made.
Yes ... it is well to know your
draft law. It is good for some of
us to know that it can save "our
young bods" from the jungle. It
is good for others of us to know
that we can serve our nation . . .
that because we are in college
does not mean we don't want to
serve our nation.
"A nation under God . . ." No,
I'm not being an outdated
fundamental conservative when I
say these words. There was a time
when men in this country be-
lieved (more so than many of us)
in this. Today, in our troubled
America and world, we look for
the answer to this war and others.
We seem to forget that this is
a nation under God. Have our
demonstrations, our opinions, our
debates given us the answer?
Who will give the answers? What
prophet will judge America?
Who will deliver us from these
times? And what about these
times?
It is this last question that we
have to consider, for there is a
time for everything:
time to be born . . . , to die
, . . , to plant . . . , to pluck
what is planted . . . , to kill . . . ,
to heal . . . , to break down . . . ,
to build up . . . , to weep . . . ,

EDITORIAL
Dr. Martin Luther King's proposed nation wide demonstration
centering on Washington, D. C. this summer could very well be
a turning point in American history. The reaction of our government
to King's demonstration of civil disobedience will be an indication
of the policy that the present administration intends to follow. Just
what is this and what will it mean to us?
It appears that there are only two political reactions. If Dr.
King ties up Washington traffic and business as he intends to do, he
could be arrested or shot in a following riot or he may be asked to
talk with the promise of honest non-political action before any
trouble results. If he is arrested or shot, there will be the militant
reaction so often promised by various civil rights groups. The
government's reaction to this would have to be militant, with
street fighting (yes in American streets . . . Sounds like civil war?)
and more arrests and imprisonments. The other reaction would be
civil action. More than $57.00 dollars a year will be spent per
underdeveloped person in this rich country of ours. Streets will be
cleaned up and jobs will be created for those fellow Americans with-
out a job. What is the reaction that is the most American? Which
would we all rather see? Is there any question involved?
Here is where the real problem is situated. This is an election
year. This fact puts Washington in an even more unique situation.
The proverbial game of politics is being played by those seeking
re-election to public office. Because of this, political futures are being
guarded much as a mother bear guards her young: very well.
The Dilemma that is to be faced this summer is therefore in
a very touchy situation. The future of our country will be at stake,
here at home. But the nervous politician also sees his political future
at stake. His reaction to the impending showdown may make some
of his potential voters angry and anger towards a politican implies
no vote — a thing politicians have bad dreams about, no matter how
much money they have.
The people that we elected to run our country's government
have some very important decisions to make before Dr. King's
demonstration. Some questions are going to have to be asked. The
country's future is at stake and some political futures are at stake.
Which of the two are more important? Then ask yourself about
your senators and congressmen. Which comes first in their minds?
How do you support him and if you do, or don't, let him know.
Our future as a great nation is hanging in the balance. I hope our
leaders have the right amount of American guts.

Connoisseur of Finer Foods,
Is your stomach ailing you? Are you eating less and enjoying
it less; or are you eating more and enjoying it less? If this is the
situation then stand up and be counted. Any suggestions, criticism, or
praises you have for our present dining hall situation should be
submitted to Fred Callies, Box 2800. We are anxiously awaiting your
letters of reply as there seems to be a great deal being said about
the food at Maryville. This is your opportunity to speak out, and help
us in solving our dilemma. In essence we are saying, ''Speak up or
eat up!"
The road to self-knowledge does not pass through faith. But
only through the self-knowledge we gain by pursuing the fleeting
light in the depth of our being do we reach the point where we can
grasp what faith is. How many have been driven into outer darkness
by empty talk about faith as something to be rationally compre-
hended, something "true."

the time of war. Yes — we have
lost many friends and our
brothers are threatened. Let it be
known that we are here hecause
we want to do something for to-
morrow's time. This we will do
unless it be destined that our
work be done today.

Dear Sir:
I never dreamed that people
wrote letters to people who wrote
letters to the editor. I have, how-
ever, received several communica-
tions of various nature from
Presbyterian Life readers in re
the burst of concern which I re-
gistered in the columns of that
august publication about the
Viet Nam and general political
situations. You asked me about
one particular epistle which I re-
ceived, and you expressed an in-
terest in publishing said letter.
After considerable thought, I
have concluded that it would not
be a breadh of ethics to allow
you to publish this letter from a
gentleman in Colorado. He has
asked that I pass along certain
assurances to the student body;
I can find no fairer way than
to pass along to you his words
which show a genuine concern
for the student generation. After
the usual amenities, the writer
proceeds to the issue at hand:
"I used to feed about war as
many conscientious objectors do
tho I was willing to serve my
country and did in the Korean
occupation forces. I used to think
that war was bad and that fight-
ing it could not be justified. Bui
I have supreme assurance now
that fighting against aggressors
is according to God's will for I
have received much guidance
from the Lord directly on this
matter.
God speaks of hell fire and
damnation and this is surely the
lot of the North Vietnamese
government and its people.
With the assurance I have from
God I can assure you we are in
a just cause and any soldier fight-
ing in this war would be in a
high state of grace and if he
should die while fighting this
dirty war he would receive a high
reward in heaven provided he did
not engage in fornication as some
soldiers do.
I wish I could give you the
assurance I have from God but
you would just have to accept on
Faith that this is justice we are
engaged in Viet Nam. I hope this
will releave your students as this
is the right cause.
Sincerely yours,"
I have passed on the gentle-
man's assurances to you of the
student body as the writer wish-
ed. I am sure, that the readers of
this letter will see not only its
idiosyncrasies but also its genuine
concern and conviction. It may
be that the author's restriction on
"heavenly reward" may seriously
curtail the Army's program of
"R and R."
Sincerely,
David R. Cartlidge
Dear Mr. Editor:
I happened to be in Atlanta
February 22 at the same time
four of our MC students were at-
tending a Southern Regional
meeting of NSA. (Doug Gamble,
Doug Price, Dan Quarles, and
Gary Meyer) . As it also happen-
ed, they knew of my presence
there and graciously invited me
to attend an evening session
which was billed tp be a panel
discussion on "What's Wrong
with Higher Education?" How-
ever, it turned out to be a
gigantic and delightful bull-ses-
sion among two hundred or so
students on problems such as
drinking rules, grades, in loco
DeuSf student freedom, student
consciousness, unimaginative fac-
ulty, out-of-touch administrators,
and apathetic students.
Although there is much that can
be said as to the content of the
student's comments, my purpose
for writing this letter is to say
that troubled though the waters
of Maryville College may seem at
times, the impression that I gain
from meetings such as this one
is that, believe it or not, Maryville
College is 10 steps ahead of most
everyone else — ^particularly in the
South. It is my opinion that one
of our greatest assets at the
moment is that we have the kind
of responsible and capable leader-
ship in the student council and
student body to put us even an-
other 100 steps ahead. It seems
to me that Maryville has a unique
opportunity to really let the
students develop the kind of at-
mosphere in learning and living
that would be the envy of the
South — ^if not the nation.
I found myself in agreement
with much of what was said down
in Atlanta, but all of it has been
said here long ago and in a more
responsible way. Perhaps it is
time for the faculty and ad-
ministration to be truly cognizant
of the fact that the students are
what makes the college go round.
They hold the keys to learning;
all the faculty can do is teach —
and that's not equivalent to
learning. I still believe that we
have a fantastic opportunity to
develop our own "bag" of higher
education. But just whose "bag"
is it? Not the faculty's. Not
Anderson Hall's. It's yours, baby
— you — the faceless student in the
row. What are you going to do
with it? And when are those of
us in the power structure going
to give you your chance to blow
up your own bag? For my money
1 say — Go ahead — blow it up —
the worst that ran happen is that
it will pop (the bag, that is).
Come on, faculty and ad-
ministration, let's give these
people their bags back. They're
not ours, and it's high time we
quit trying to blow them up for
them. Sincerely,
David P. Young

CANDIDATE
"With President Johnson and
Richard Nixon both slipping in
the polls, the emergence of a
fresh, new candidate was not un-
expected.
"The revelation came in a
Nation-wide poll asking voters
the routine question: 'If Lyndon
Johnson and Richard Nixon are
the nominees of their parties,
which candidate would get your
vote?'
"In reply, 7.2 per cent said
Johnson, 6.8 per cent said Nixon
and 61.4 per cent said Jesus
Christ. The remainder was split
among lesser-known candidates.
"The surprising showing of a
candidate whose influence had so
far not been felt in American
politics createdi a sensation.
"Support was strong in the
Bible Belt. Doves were enthusias-
tic over what they believed would
be The Candidate's position on
Vietnam. And indeed, no political
figure voiced anything but un-
qualified approval in public.
"Both major parties vied with
each other in saying how much
they had long admired The
Candidate and espoused The
Candidate's principles. Spokes-
men for each expressed con-
fidence The Candidate would ac-
cept a draft to head their ticket.
"Initially, then, the nation
looked forward to a landslide.

A Divereionary Essay
Many and various are the types of shoes; and the type is
establishexl according to the use; and with its use, each kind of shoe
acquires its peculiar personality.
The least obs^msive of all is the sneaker, which some people
call the tennis shoe and thereby we perceive its original use to have
been for playing tennis. Other people call it a tenni-pump. But from
its most commeon name, the sneaker, we understand its stealthiness
of character as it sneaks along in order for its wearer to remain
unnoticed and possibly to surprise a friend or foe.
Whereas the aneaker is a hard-working shoe in its effort to he
silent, the loafer is a lazy sort. Its services are most usually employed
by students who prefer its unrestraining nature over the disciplining
effect of tie shoes. The loafer has no individualized appearance, for
its shape is basically flat with its tongue hanging out, and its color
is commonly black or varying shades of brown. It leads a dull,
monotonous life, but has only its slovenly, shuffling, blustering
character to blame.
A further step toward freedom is seen in the slipper, which in
itself has many varieties: the toeless, the heeless, the sideless, the
whole slipper. The particular use of this footwear is to aid and com-
fort tired feet or to protect damty, delicate, feet. Its derived uses,
however, are numerous, some of which are: to force the wearer to
descent to the floor, or to act as a palpable substance for a teething
baby or dog.
The sandal is even more liberating for two reason. One, it hai^
less coverage; and two, it is an outdoor shoe. In ancient societies the
sandal was everyday footgear for all classes of people. Today, the
rough, home-made-looking sandal is associated with rich beach-
combers, hippies, and students in the spring and summer (they wear
loafers in the fall and winter). But today all types of sandals are
worn for comfort.
A final classification of shoes is the boot: snow boot, hiking
boot, combat boot, whatever. In contrast to the previous types, the
boot is confining, for its use is primarily for the protection of the
foot in strenuous conditions. It has a forceful, brutal, vengeful
character for it sometimes hurts the feet it protects and often boots
innocent people or personal enemies. This characteristic is best
described in the following words to a song:
These boots were made for walking;
and that's just what they do.
One of these days these boots
are gonna walk all over you.
And that's what all shoes may do. But each will do so in its own
manner and attitude, for shoes are particular, as are people.

DISCOUNTS FOR ATHLETES
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (CPS)
— Charges that University of
Michigan athletes have been
given discounts, and even some
gifts, by Ann Arbor businessmen
are being investigated by the Big
Ten here.
John D. Dewey, assistant com-
missioner of the Big Ten, is
questioning athletes, coaches and
the businessmen involved to find
out if Big Ten or National G)l-
legiate Athletic Association rules
have been violated.
Dewey's investigation began
after the Michigan Daily, in a
copyrighted story, reported that
Ann Arbor clothing stores, along
with a restaurant and a movie
theater, had given athletes dis-
counts.
In a story two days later the
Daily reported that Michigan
State University athletes were
getting benefits like those given
to Michigan athletes. Dewey has
said he will go to M.S.U. to in-
vestigate the situation there after
finishing his probe in Ann Arbor.
In its M.S.U. report the Daily
said that, in addition to discounts,
athletes there were allowed to
dharge long-distance phone calls
to the number of one of the foot-
ball coaches and were given
"grill passes" for use at campus
snack bars. It also reported that
Duffy Daugherty, head football
coach at M.S.U., had paid for
a trip to the school by the parents
of a football prospect. Under Big
Ten rules it is illegal for member
schools to pay for such trips.
After hearing about the Daily's
report, Daughterty first said he
might sue for libel. Since then,
however, he has not indicated
whether or not he intends to go
ahead with the suit.
Daugherty and other coaches
at the two schools could be sub-
ject to discipline by the Big Ten
if the investigation shows the
discounts and other benefits were
used to help recruiting. Howard
Cohen, who wrote one of the
Daily stories, said several athletes
told him that they were informed
of the discounts during recruit-
ment.

ORANGEBURG, S. C. (CPS)
— Evidence indicates that black
students were unarmed when
police opened fire on them here
February 8.
Police claimed they were re-
sponding to sniper fire when they
opened up on a group of students
assembled at the entrance to
South Carolina State College. But
no police were shot, no weapons
confiscated from the students,
and no one has reported seeing
any students with guns at any
time that evening.
The police continue to insist,
however, that the shooting was
justified because the police and
National Guardsmen believed
themselves to be threatened.
Evidence also continues to in-
dicate that 16 of the 28 students
killed or wounded were shot in
the back, including two of those
who were killed. Investigation of
the injuries by a Los Angeles
Times Reporter also showed that
many of the wounded students
were lying flat or crawling on the
ground when shot. Two were shot
through the soles of their feet.
OPERATIONS
CROSSROADS
The aim of Operations Cross-
roads Africa is to unite young
people in a bond of international,
interracial, and inter- religious
friendships. Dr. James H. Robin-
son, founder and director of OCA
has stated:
"Crossroads is neither a tourist
joy-ride nor a safari. It is a
project for far-sighted young
men and women of stout hearts,
receptive but toug'h minds,
willing hands, and humble but
loving spirits who are not
afraid of taking risks and are
willing to live and work with
people at the village level under
severely limited environmental
conditions. No others should
apply."
Crossroaders work in groups
of ten to twelve with African
villagers on necessary projects.
The main aim is to "build
bridges of friendship" and under-
standing between different cul-
tures.
Since many more apply than
can be accepted, each applicant
must go through a lengthy and
thorough screening process. This
summer Dinni-lynn Drake will
serve in Ethiopia. Dinni-lynn is
a junior religion major. After
graduation she plans to attend
seminary and enter the field of
Christian ministry.
As a Crossroader Dinni-lynn if
required to raise $1,125 plus mis-
cellaneous expenses. This amount
will be raised through her student
help job, her home church, and
Maryville's Hope for Inter-
national Understanding.
Through the experiences and
involvements of students in pro-
grams such as Crossroads, inter-
national understanding can be-
come a reality.

basic question of the course being
taken, then it is time to go home.
There are elements within this
society of ours who are hoping
all over the place that the product
of the baby boom will have some-
thing to say to this messed up
world we live in. Someone has
to start telling truths, someone
has to begin preventing unneces-
sary wars, someone has to make
society truly great. All this takes
people with a certain amount of
intestinal fortitude and a pro-
nounced ability to use intellectual
capacity. Our generation has been
dragged kicking and screaming
into this rather strategic position.
Often they are armed with 19th
century educational preparation
to deal with problems requiring
21st century thought.
Are we proceeding on the right
course? Do we spend too much
time with formality; do we link
formality with education to the
point of synonymity? What is
being graded at Maryville, com-
mas or content? Do examinations
measure a student's real capabil-
ity or do they represent a feed
back of remarks made by a pro-
fessor who has prejudged too
strictly the phases of a given sub-
ject which will be held to be im-
portant. Look around you, per-

The new anti-secrecy code an-

does it include research done
within the United States. There

STUDENT PRIMARY APRIL
If an inhabitant of an educa-
tional institution can successfully
exist in oblivion to his surround-
ings, local, national, and inter-
national, that institution is fail-
ing.
The historical university is the
critic of society. It must be an
agent of enlightened change. It
cannot afford to accept the status
quo unless it is acceptable.
It cannot call itself effective
if it does not develop conscious
awareness of the basic mistakes
of society.
And if a student in a college
in 1968 can be complacent about
the results of the recent past, that
college is not preparing itself to
be an agent of improvement.
The American Negroes just
might burn this country down.
And why shouldn't they? What
has white, middle-class USA ever
really done for "them" anyway?
Anything which asked for sacri-
fice? Just wait 'till the Indiajtis
realize what we did to them.
Will the WASP pay the price
to repair and prevent the further
destruction (decay?) of the
American dream? And I don't
mean retaining the National
Guard. Probably not.
And the draft? And the war?
Let's hear from senior men with-
out deferments. (Have you ever
heard Hershey?)
So what's this got to do with
student government? I'd suggest
that the most basic thing involved
in all this is individual human
rights and responsibilities.
There are a great many people
on this campus, in addition to
the notorious "power elite," who
feel a frustration with the limita-
tions of religious-social mores in-
flicted by an obviously decaying
social order upon young people
who are not yet too indoctrinated
by the social establishment to be
insensitive to the possibilities for
people.
Collective respect for individual
people is basic to religious and
Constitutional theory. Some of
the student generation is sick
and tired of being molded (in
some areas) into being a replace-
ment cog for the present social
machine, while they are at the
same time being stimulated by
new curricula into thinking with-
in a framework designed to
promote improvement, not re-
plenishing, of the sleeping Ameri-
can middle class.
Maybe we are fools to think
that we can change the world, but
somebody damn well better try.
Now!
A plea to the community. Let's
use these new committees as a
vehicle for improvement. Prac-

New York — The nation's students have determined the final
ballot and referendum issues of their first nationwide collegiate
presidential primary, called CHOICE 68.
Meeting in Washington, D. C. from February 10 — 13, the
program's student directors selected a slate of fourteen candidates
for the presidency. They are: Fred Halstead, Mark Hatfield, Lyndon
Johnson, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lindsay, Eugene
McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Charles Percy, George Romney, Ronald
Reagan, Nelson Rockefeller, Harold Stassen, and George Wallace.
The students also decided that three referendum questions be
included on the ballot. Two deal with the country's current involve-
ment in Viet Nam, and one with the priorities of government spend-
ing in confronting the "urban crisis." Mr. Richard Scammon,
Director of the Elections Research Center, and Dr. Howard Penniman
of the Political Science Department at Georgetown University assist-
ed the Board in their efforts to ensure that the various questions
were properly phrased towards achieving maximum clarity.
In addition, the Board resolved several administrative questions,
such as voter qualification. It was decided that any student currently
enrolled in an American college or university will be eligible to vote
in the CHOICE 68 election. This include graduate^ part-time, and
foreign students, as well as those studying abroad in American
branch universities.
The Board announced their decisions at a national news con-
ference held on February 13 which was covered extensively by the
major television networks and press wire services.
This primary election will be held on April 24. Students are
particularly urged to organize campaigns, whereby the students will
be able to procure the literature of the various candidates.
Student Strike Planned
Chicago (CPS) — More than 900 student activities from the
United States and Latin America have called for a world-wide student
strike "against the war in Vietnam and racism."
The students announced plans for the strike during a conference
here sponsored by the Student Mobilization Committee, a New York-
based organization which helped plan large-scale demonstrations in
New Yoric and California last April 15 and the massive-demonstration
at the Pentagon last Oct. 21.
The strike will be held Friday,

State-Wide Congress
To Be Held
Students everywhere have common mterests, and communication
among them is to their mutual benefit. To date, there has been no
unification among students of Tennessee colleges and universities.
A possible remedy is a state-wide organization of college students
concerned about the issues that affect their personal lives and the
communities they live in. To investigate this possibility, a Congress
for a Tennessee Student Union will be held at the Presbyterian-
Methodist Campus Center, 1112 19th Ave., S., Nashville, Tennessee,
on March 16th and 17th.

EDITORIAL
The Presidential primaries are fast approaching. How are we
to decide who will make an effective leader? Stop and think; what
do you expect in a person who professes himself to be the man for
the job? Or are you going to make your choice on the basis of
everyone else's decision ?
To me, a leader is a man with
the ability to perceive the feelings of his followers;
foresight; a vision for the future;
optimism, rather than pessimism ;
high ideals, but yet with a realistic outlook;
the ability to realize he may be wrong;
geniality; the ability to work with his peers and others;
the fortitude to withstand harsh criticism;
a mind open to criticism and new possibilities;
a personality which generates respect and admiration;
ideals representative of all the people;
a manner of conducting himself which induces his
followers to work toward a common goal;
honesty.
This picture, of course is incomplete and idealistic, but it is
important for a voter to know what he is looking for in a leader
before he actually has to vote. In a few months we will be electing
campus leaders for next year. Consider the positions to be filled, the
duties of each, and the person (s) you think most capable to fill
them. Then, if you think this person is qualified and sincerely has
the interest of the campus in mind, urge him to consider being
a candidate. You may give an able person the confidence he needs
to be a leader.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
On behalf of the entire student
body, f would like to make public
certain policies of the administra-
tion toward incoming freshmen.
The third term is rapidly draw-
ing near, and, as is common for
relatively new programs, the Re-
sident Assistants to the freshmen
are being asked to evaluate the
system. Evaluation is a valid and
intregal part of any program,
and I hope such evaluations will
be made conscientiously. But does
the student body know that the
R.A.s are also being asked to
evaluate their freshmen???
Let me show you a sample of
the questions found on two forms
being considered for this personal
evaluation.
"Does he attend Class? Artist
Series? Concerts? Plays? Sports
activities? Chapel?
"Is he able to adjust to his
roommate? The Dorm Super-
visor? Other men in his unit?
His R.A. (and remember, an ob-
jective evaluation) ?
"Does he keep his room neat?
Is he well-groomed? Does he
date?
"How is his emotional stabili-
ty? Family relations? Reaction
to stress? Use of unscheduled
time? Use of social skills? (This
set of questions to be answered
either "Excellent, Good, Aver-
age, Fair, or Poor.")
"Has he any discipline prob-
lems concerned with Noise? Dis-
honesty? Drinking? Cars?
Other? (To be answered "None,
Other, Twice, or Often")
I do not see how anyone can
convince me that it is anyone's
business whether a student at-
tends school-sponsored functions.
Does the administration want to
judge the success of the various
programs by finding out who
attends? I think they would be
better off checking how many
attend. Is it the administration's
business to know personal and
emotional information concern-
ing students? R.A.s are not quali-
fied to answer these questions
The administration would be
better off instituting full-time
counselling service to handle
problems beyond the reach of
R.A.s. Does the administration
think it has an "inside" source
for discovering who is breaking
the rules? I seriously doubt that
many offenders will be unearthed
by these questions. A more realis-
tic approach would be to re-
examine the rules and make cer-
tain they are consistant with to-
day's standards. This is an in-
stitution of learning, not a con
trolled study of group behavior.
In case the danger of such
evaluation is not immediately
clear, let me explain a litde. Keep
in mind that A.A.s do not pretend
to be sociologists (although such
would be needed to answer some
of the above questions), and
they were not specifically told
that they would be required to
evaluate people when they as-
sumed their responsibilities. Keep
in mind also that the freshmen
are not, presumably, aware that
such an evaluation is being made.
Now, where is this little bundle
of "facts" going to be used? Ob-
viously, it should only be placed
in the hands of qualified persons
with training in sociology and
social psychology — such personal
information would not be safe
elsewhere. Is this the case, when
it will be kept in the permanent
files of the deans; not to be dis-
closed to anyone, but to be "inter-
preted" at such times as will be
seen useful by them?
Let, me illustrate. Suppose,
through some act of immaturity
or indiscretion on the part of a
freshman, or conscious or un-
conscious prejudice on the part
of his R.A., permanent record is
made that he drinks, misuses his
free time, and shuns campus ac-
tivity. Perhaps he is also unable
to adjust to his roommate and
his Dorm Supervisor, according
to the evaluation.
Three years later, having
matured, found companions more
suitable to his personality, and
settled into a routine, purposeful,
college life, he would like a job.
His prospective employer asks a
few questions at the dean's office
(logically enough), and is told
enough to make him realize this
cannot be the person he needs —
his employees must be sober, con-
scientious, and well-adjusted.
Or perhaps a junior is brought
before the judicial board for
some minor offense. Certainly,
information from these evalua-
tions would be brought forth at
this time. Would this information
aid in the arrival of an impartial
and just judgement by the
board? I doubt it.
I could list many more ways
in which material from an
evaluation of this sort could be
misused, but I don't think it is
necessary. Except for a student's
transcript, (which any student
may see, ufK>n requests and which
is used only at the student's re-
quest) , this evaluation is the only
concise, concrete body of in-
formation about a student. It is
not kept up to date, as a tran-
script is; it is not obtained by
objective means, as a transcript
is, and it does not pertain to the
student's academic achievement,
as the transcript does. It is
against the private rights of the
students which it evaluates. This
is information which is not the
administration's business; gather-
ed by R.A.s who are largely un-
willing and entirely unqualified;
to be used by deans at times un-
specified and for reasons unjusti-
fiable; without the knowledge
and consent of the individuals
concerned. Tom Marston
GAZINGFS STIRRING.
Last week a few of us saw Robert Penn Warren in the Alumni
Gym at UT. We also had the privilege of watching students shuffle
in their seats, laugh, talk, smoke, and walk in and out. This plus poor
acoustics provided for a frustrating evening. Wasted? Well, yes and
no. Perhaps now we'll buy a copy of Warren's poems so we'll know
what he said. But more than that, perhaps we'll appreciate the respect
which Maryville students customarily show their speakers — even if
we are sometimes forced to give a standing ovation!

VIETNAM DILEMMA:
An Arltcle of OpInioD
The aspect of dilemma over the U.S. role in South Vietnam
was raised in a recent editorial. I wish, therefore, to express my
views of some of the points raised. I am responding primarily in
the hope that my views will encourage others to look more deeply
into not only the Vietnam conflict, but more importantly the policies
and operating assumptions of decision-making which have determined
our presence there.
First, I would like to respond to the statement that the U.S.
is beinging stability to South Vietnam and the implication that this
is not only a justification for our presence, but also a primary cause
rather than a secondary result of our South East Asian policy.
Realistically it cannot be .-

sense of commitment to generally ^^^j ^ capitol, but these were
accepted ideals and standards;
justice; and equitable administra-
tion of power, regulated by a re-
spected national political force
are the more significant and ab-
created and supported by the
French and later by the United
States. Is it not significant that
the rise and fall of successive re-
gimes in S. Vietnam since 1947
solutely necessary characteristics ^^^^ been solely dependent on
French and then American
strength and will? That the
governments have been comprised
of generally unpopular and un-
known men says something, per-
haps a great deal, about their
ability to gain power without
foreign support.
The Geneva Agreements of
of a non-militarily controlled
stable nation. Unfortunately none
of these factors exist in S. Viet-
nam today. It is practically im-
possible to build a stable nation
in the chaos of civil war which,
by its nature, allows stability
only through the force of arm**.

However, I must agree that S. for all Vietnamese. It alone has
Vietnam may reap benefits from been the only cohesive political
our efforts there, but we are force in either of the Vietnams.
It is in the rejection of these
realities of the Vietnam situation
that the U.S. has caused, in part,
its now failure. A major reason
for the success of the Viet Cong
has been the total absence of a
popular cohesive alternative na-
tionalist movement in the South —
not aid from the North. The pre-
sent leaders of S. Vietnam do not
represent this alternative na-
tionalist force; they are military
men who are interested primarily
in maintaining their own power
in deference to the will of the
Vietnamese people. Their con-
stant rejection of the Buddhist
influence, which is considerable,
to bring stability and to initiate
negotiations in an attempt to end
the conflict is the most damaging
evidence of their intentions.
Again in this matter the U.S. has
seemingly misunderstood the true
significance and influence of
the Buddhist community in Viet-
nam. Otherwise, it seems to me,
we would have prevented the re-
cent imprisonment of Buddhist
leaders and the growing suppres-
sion of Buddhist activity by the
Thieu government.
Nonetheless, Senator Fulbright
in his book The Arrogance of
Power, clearly states the im-
portant aspect of the Vietnamese
conflict — an aspect we have been
unwilling to accept or to admit
as having any validity: "both
the success of the Communists in
S. Vietnam and their failure in
Inda, Burma, Malaya, Indonesia,
and the Philippines strongly sug-
gest the wars for national libera-
tion depend for their success
more on the weakness of the re-
gime under attack," which in the
final analysis rests with the
people, "than on the strength of
support from outside."
Thus, in determining whether
what the U.S. is doing in the re-
sult of its own needs, or the re-
sult of solely S. Vietnamese needs,
a dichotomy will clearly and con-
tinually display itself. Because it
exists, we must see the true prior-
ity system under which the U.S.
is operating. The fact that what
we do may overlap with what the
Vietnamese wish to have done
has no significance, for it has
no influence on the determination
of our actions. Therefore, we all
must make an effort to under-
stand more clearly' the politics of
the situation. Such an under-
standing should show that much
of what we do in Vietnam is often
a secondary result of our presence
rather than a primary cause for
our presence.
As the dichotomy between our
stated reasons and purposes and
our actions increases, we all must
be aware of the implications such
statements and actions raise for
our future policy if we continue
to operate on the same ossuptions
and continue to pursue the same
line of reasoning in determing
our policy.
I suggest: The Arrogance of
Power by J. W. Fulbright
Vietnam, Lotus in a Sea of
Fire by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Jim Reynolds
LETTERS
cont. from p. 2, col. 5
Dear Editor:
This letter is written m re-
sponse to an editorial of Febru-
ary 9, 1968 entitled "Dilemma."
It is an attempt to examine some
proposed reasons as to why the
U.S. is in Vietnam — some reasons
that are not those presented by
our State Department. It is also
an outgrowth of Mr. Reynolds'
letter in that it supplements his
examination of the Vietnam con-
flict in light of what I think are
our motives for waging this war.
Most Americans think we are
fighting to preserve freedom and
the South Vietnamese from Com-
munist agression. Carl Oglesby in
Containment and Change pro-
poses that cold war anti-com-
munism is an ideological cover-
up for our free world imperialism
and that the American people
have been tricked into believing
that this war is a batde against
the forces of world Communism.
Oglesby's thesis is that the U.S.
desperately needs foreign markets
for her surplus and that "it has
become critical to us that our
foreign markets should not be
disturbed." Our foreign policy is
aimed at insuring the availability
of fertile frontiers for American
business. In essence, Oglesby says
that we are making the world
safe for corporate big-business,
and not for democracy. As a re-
sult, our soldiers follow our cor-
porations and merchants and
vice-versa.
There are others who seem to
agree with Oglesby ; among them
is Brig. General Hugh B. Hester
who wrote on May 8, 1967, 'The
Vietnam War is not a war of self-
defense or even of general self-
interest. It is a war in the profit
interests of only a very few."
In 1950 when the U.S. gave
its first allocation of $150 million
to the French for the Indo-China
War, it was given on the basis of
the domino theory (if Vietnam
falls to the Communists then all
of Southeast Asia will fall like
a row of dominoes) . By 1954 we
were giving 1.33 billion for the
war. We have essentially taken
the place of the French in Viet-
nam.
In July, 1955 Ngo Dinh Diem
refused to hold the elections
promised at the Geneva Con-
ference. The U.S. answered
Diem's plea for help when it
became evident that he needed
assistance because of internal
divisions and hostilities. We gave
money and administrative and
military advisors to short up
Diem's government. Even after
Diem's regime fell the South
Vietnamese government and the
U.S. refused the National Libera-
tion Front's offer for a coalition
government, elections, and neu-
tralization of Vietnam. From
1962 to 1967 U.S. ground forces
in Vietnam increased from
10,000 to 460,000. By 1965 we

Constitution
in Preparation
In striving to create a more
vital form of campus government,
a committee of Student Council
has been engaged in the process
of inquiry and evaluation since
the beginning of last year. This
cgimmittee, chaired by Shep
Spear, has analyzed the existing
student constitution in an attempt
to assimilate new ideas and re-
commend needed changes. It has
worked under the concept of the
constitution as a general super-
structure upon which new rules
may be erected and also removed.
The committee's findings have
been assembled in a twenty-six
page draft which is now being
revised and contains the follow-
ing conclusions:
(1) That there be five repre-
sentatives from each class,
instead of the present sys-
tem of four freshman and
sophomore delegates, and
five junior and senior repre-
sentatives;
(2) That the new constitution
contain no statement con-
cerning the governing of
Student-Faculty Senate since
this body is independent of
Student Council ;
(3) That student body officers
be able to come from both
the junior and senior
classes;
(4) That the offices of secretary
and treasurer be separate
though still appointed; and
(5) That the constitution itself
be reduced to a smaller and
more permanent document
with the by-laws being en-
larged to encompass needed
changes.
Other suggestions are still .under
consideration. The cwnmittee
hopes that the new constitution
will be lasting and worthwhile,
since a great amount of flexibility
can be utilized with the by-laws.
The progress of the committee,
however, has been stunted by the
ambiguous nature of the college
power structure. It cannot be
exactly determined what func-
tions the Student Council, Stu-
dent-Faculty Senate, and Execu-
tive Council share and in what
areas they differ. A statement
may be drafted urging that a* new
committee formed of students,
faculty, administration, and
directors be organized to investi-
gate jurisdiction of the govern-
ing bodies. Hopefully, this effort
might culminate in an evaluation
of the Maryville College Charter
and by-laws which have long
been in need of re-examination.
For instance, the Charter pro-
vides that there be a president of
the faculty. No such person exists
at this time.
The Board of Directors has
taken a decided step forward
with the recent statement of pur-
pose. This statement has left room
to open some doors and perhaps
close others; it should, however,
stimulate thought in any event.
With a spirit of cooperative
venture on the parts of students,
faculty, and administration, it is
entirely feasible that the new con-
stitution could be in operation by
the first part of next year.

tical improvement based upon the
theory of individual worth. We
as a college can and must act
what we believe. We can finish
the construction of a truly uni-
que institution. One to which the
best students, in a basic sense
of student, are drawn, and from
which the best citizens, in the
very basic sense of the term, are
graduated.
Read the statement of purpose.
And help force the actual state
of things into ressembling its
very excellent theory.
Go talk to committee members,
deans, and presidents. Write
letters. Draft petitions and state-
ments of theory. Let the instru-
ment of change know that things
in general are not yet perfect.
Now is the time to do something
other than complain to yourself.
And if you don't trust the
"glory hunting" "Power elite," do
it yourself, (and please point out
the glory so it can at least be
enjoyed) Don't throw away your
individuality unless you don't
think you are important, even if
only to yourself.
See you in chapel.

had assumed the major load of
the offensive fighting.
It seems evident that the U.S.
made a big mistake in entering
Vietnam. Two questions remain:
Will we admit our mistake and
take appropriate action to with-
draw our military might from
this small Asian country? and
Will we again try to stabilize,
establish, and insure our foreign
investments and foreign markets
in other areas of the world? Will
Latin America be our next Viet-
nam as we try to overcome social
revolutionary movements who op-
pose the status quo regimes whom
we support because they are
favorable to the U.S.?
We ask, "Who is at fauU?"
The fault lies with us — you and
me — because we have not had
the guts to speak out against this
war and because we have been so
damned, nonchalant about the
election of officials and the
course that our country is taking.
Perhaps it is too late to do any-
thing now. It doesn't bother us
when troops are sent to Vietnam
or when the National Guard is
sent into Newark, Cambridge,
Watts, or Detroit. Will it bother
us when the National Guard is
standing on the streets in our own
neighborhoods? How would we
feel if our country were teeming
with thousands of foreign or even
domestic troops? We may hav€
fashioned our own noose when
we convicted Nazi officers at the
Nurembourg trials because they
did not refuse to carry out the
demands of their Fascist leaders.
We held them personally account-
able for the deaths of millions of
Jews. We may be held personally
accountable for the deaths of
thousands of Vietnamese and our
own soldiers.
I find quite frightening the
acceptance of the theory that war
will always be with us and that
war is inevitable. We live in a
time when war is not inevitable.
If this is a time for war then

it will probably be the last time
for war. World War IV wiU be
fought with sticks and stones. We
are balanced on tons of nuclear
bombs, weapons, and stockpiles
of destructive power, capable of
blowing us to bits.
(Just watch "The War Game"
if you don't believe me). We
must give up war, if for no
other reason than self-preserva-
tion. We must bring peace to the
world or annihilate the human
race. The burden of responsibility
lies with us. Oglesby writes that
we are alone with ourselves. "It
belongs to Americans to claim
again and try to reshape their
country. Only the American
people can do that. Only the
people should."

Stanford, Calif. (CPS) — A
group of 20 medical students at
Stanford University Medical
School have refused to sign their
final exams in a community
health course because they felt
the course hadn't dealt with "re-
levant problems of community
health."
The students, who have been
given incompletes in the course,
objected to its emphasis on the
study of epidemics rather than
on the problems of drug ad-
diction, smoking, and alcoholism.
The 20 took the action after
all but seven of the 67 students
in the course had written to the
chairman of the Department of
Preventive Medicine complaining
about its content.
NEW YORK — Peace Corps
Director Jack Vaughn said today
that Volunteers serve no one
"establishment," but 57 separate
overseas host country establish-
ments where the agency operates.
"Rather than consider the
Peace Corps as an instrument of
foreign policy," Vaughn said in
a speech at Columbia University,
"I think it is more correct to say
that it is an instrument of domes-
tic policy in 57 nations."
The 13,000 Volunteers over-
seas, he said, represent no policy
except that which they were in-
vited to serve — no establishment
except the 57 which invited them.
He said that Volunteers still
tend to dismiss in their minds
the idea of the Peace Corps as
an institution, or as a govern-
ment agency.
"They appear to bypass the
structure and identify with the
spirit — a logical American out-
let through which they 'become
the very best that is within them
to become'," Vaughn said. "I be-
lieve that this aspiration is the
model for successive non-bure-
aucracies of the future."
He noted that the same spirit*
ed people who hardly acknow-
ledge the Peace Corps as govern-
ment — who could not care less
for Washington or The Establish-
ment*
Vaughn cited an example of a
response to a host country re-
quest, saying the agency will step-
up its family planning activities
in population-mushrooming India
this year.
The Peace Corps chief said
Volunteer nurses will assist in
training Indian nurses in both
pre-insertion and follow-up care
as part of the inter-uterine device
program currently underway in
India's Punjab state.
This represents a break from
previous Peace Corps involve-
ment in birth control programs
which have been confined to the
promotional and educational
aspects of various state projects.
As before, Volunteers will not
be directly involved in steriliza-
tion or abortion procedures.
At the same time, Vaughn said
the 1,000 Volunteers now serving
in India have been given that
country's family planning litera-
ture. The government has asked
Volunteers to promote the family
planning symbol now being pub-
licized throughout the nation, he
said.
The Maryville Scots wrestled
this past weekend in the South-
eastern Intercollegiate WresUing
Association Tournament. The
Scots wrestled such schools as
Troy State University. Georgia
Tech, University of Georgia and
Emory University. There were
eleven schools competing, trying
to defeat Auburn University
which had won the SEC title 21
times. Maryville had three men
that actually placed. Ray Nye
at 123, took first, Ralph Johnson
at 137 took 2nd, and Lynn Dody
at 191 got third.
One of the most exciting
matches of the tournament was
the 123 pound class champion-
ship. Nye wrestled Del Alley from
Auburn who had defeated Ray
in an earlier match 9 to 4. Ray
was able to score 2 points the
first period by taking Alley down
and went on to win it by a score
of 2 to 0. Ray Nye as a Fresh-
men had won the SJE.C! Our
team went wild, the crowd watch-
ing the match cheered loudly,
and even Coach J.D. who usually
remains calm, ran out on the mat
and slung him over his shoulder
and carried him of the mat.
Other M.C. grap piers such as
Harry Burnett and Rob Nicholas
were seeded poorly and thus were
knocked out of competition after
the second match. Harry wrestled
one of the high seeded men in
his first match and defeated
him, but in the match he hurt
his shoulder again and then had
to withdraw from competition.
Nich beat a Milligan wrestler 3
to 1 in his first match but lost to
the eventual champ in his second
match in a closely contested
match.
The only dark spot during the
tournament was the University of
Tennessee which was discovered
to be wrestling graduate students
and so unable to compete.
The Tournament itself had the
best wrestling in its 22 year
history with Auburn retaing the
title. Next year the tournament
will be held at Auburn.
Had we never loved sae kindly,
Had we never loved sae blindly.
Never met — or never parted —
We had ne'er been broken-
hearted.

Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee, April 5i 1968
No. 15
CHOICE '68: ELECTION CONCERN NOW
The events of the next three
weeks will determine whether or
not Maryville College will choose
to attempt to become what so
many people have been trying
to get her to become for some
l!ime now.
The investigating committees
wiU report their recommendations
sometime this month. If they do
not do their job well, Maryville
will have to wait to join the
"very attractive" list.
The committees have got to
be shown that most of the com-
munity has opinions. Now! The
decisions, of course, will be made
in light of the most good for
the college as an institution.
The things wrong are damag-
ing to the college's long-range
plans. We have got to have stu-
dents who can do the work of
the new academia, and we can-
not possibly attract them unless
we make some changes. We have
got to have cars. It is not in this
age possible or desirable to con-
fine students to a geographical
ar«i the size of a long walk.
Neither is there merit in pro-
tection for its own sake. When
such is a long range plus to the
educational process, it may be
defended, but such is seldom the
case with people of college age.
The key must be educational,
not traditional. Indoctrination in
religious and moral areas is in-
deed dangerous as a basis for
establishing behavioral standards.
We must show that we feel cap-
able of regulating our own time
and energy. And if it turns out
that we are not, then we might
ought to be somewhere else.
The discussion in the commit-
tees has been quite open. Every
current practice is under care-
ful scrutiny. And we have got
to offer improvements or live
with the status quo.
If there are things you do not
think are good for MC, whether
or not you are involved, it wiU
be appreciated if you will speak
up.
Student Council is going to
have people ready to help direct
your comments. There are also
going to be some surveys.
If we do not use THIS situa-
tion (whether or not we like
its genesis) in a sane and order-
ly manner to demonstrate a con-
cern for MC's structure, we will
be without another chance in
the near future. It would be
rather a lost cause anyway.
So find out what committee,
with what people on it, wants

One of the more amusing side
effects, depending on your sense
of humor, of the impressive
showings in the New Hampshire
primary has been the rather
adulatory reaction of the national
press to the Senator's corps of
energetic and intense "ballot
children." Originally written off
as somewhat pathetic idealists,
student armys earned their
abundant laurels by helping en-
gineer the first stunning upset of
9ie 1968 preisdential campaign.
As a result, the well-scrubbed,
respectable, and quietly effective
"Student Volunteer" suddenly
became the darling of the press.
Youth Back in the Fold, gushed
endless editorials, Democratic
Process Works! Nihilism of the
New Left Refuted! Generation
Gap Bridged!
This endless journalistic game
of lumping all students into one
vast and grotesquely misleading
generalization thus continues.
The archetypal collegian, it now
appears, is no longer the stu-
dent leftist with his picket sign
and smouldering draft card. The
"average" college student right
now, today, is the "concerned"
college student — the student
whose faith in democracy is slow-
ly but surely being reaffirmed
through electoral triumph and
lots of hard, determined work.
The idealistic gleam of such
a student portrait wiU go far,
no doubt, towards re-establishing
middle class America's faith in
its gold plated youth. But the
"Student Volunteers," like the
radical agitators, are but fringe
elements of the college commun-
ity and hardly representative of
the American student body as
a whole, whose reputation for
indifference and apathy is not
without substance.
As President Adran Doran of
Morehouse State College in
Kentucky stated, "These activists
say that the rest of the students
are apathetic and don't care.
They're not. They're satisfied
with the way things are. Why
should they protest? There's
nothing to protest about."
CHOICE 68, the National Col-
legiate Presidential Primary, is
functioning with a somewhat
more spirited preconception in
mind — that, in fact, student
moderates do care and do want
their opinions registered in a
responsible, effective manner.
The election itself will deter-
mine whether CHOICE 68's
image of the "average" student
is accurate. For in order to at-
tain national visibility, CHOICE
68 must attract at least two mil-
lion voters on April 24. Such a
goal will be attained only if en-
ough moderates choose to exert
themselves to the degree of cast-
ing their votes.
CHOICE 68 will fail if they
do not. The liberal and conser-
vative activists may board the
headlines, but the long silent stu-
dent moderates have the num-
bers — and it is only by the raw
power of size that a skeptical
public and an overly antagonistic
Congress will pay attention to the
reality of student power.
It's one thing, of course, tc
boycott an election through prin-
ciple and it's quite another to
miss one through ignorance or
apathy. If the moderates do fail
to participate, especially in this,
the most challenging of election
years, then they will indeed have
earned the taunt of Henry IV
"Go hang yourself, brave Cril-
lon ; we fought at Arques and you
were not there."

Dr. Esther C. Swenson, As-
sociate Professor of Philosophy,
Religion and Sociology at Mary-

This book was published this
month by Abingdon Press of
Nashville, Tenn., as a College
Selection. Copies may be ordered
at the College Bookstore on the
Maryville campus or purchased
at the Christian Book Nook in
Midland Center.
Dr. Zuurdeeg was Associate
Professor of Philosophy and Re-

CHOICEatKearney
The familiar cry of "Let's Get
Out of Vietnam" doesn't win
cheers at Kearney State College
in Kearney, Nebraska. (Enroll-
ment: 4500).
A poll of 183 students showed
that over 71% favored conven-
tional military escalation, in-
cluding increased bombing of
North Vietnam. Only one per-
cent, however, felt the use of
auclear weapons in the conflict
to be necessary.
The poll, taken by the CHOICE
68 student committee at Kearney
State, also indicated heavy sup-
port for former Vice-President
Richard Nixon. Robert F. Ken-
nedy finished a strong second.
President Johnson announced
Sunday night on nationwide
television and radio that he
would not seek the Democratic
party nomination for President
of the United States. The reason
he gave for this decision was to
avoid politicial strife within and
between parties at such a crucial
time as now. The President also
declared steps that he is taking
with regard to the Vietnam war:
de-esculation of the bombing in
ninety percent of the North Viet-
nam area, excluding the area
directly above the Demilitarized
Zone; an additional thirteen
thousand troops for August of
this year; increased funds for
armaments; and strong efforts
for negotiations under the rules
of the Geneva Convention.
Echo Elections Soon
Elections for the 1968-69 Highland Echo editor-in-chief will
take place during the last week of April. The election is held among
the present members of the Echo staff. While the complete staff will
be arranged this spring, the only elected position is that of editor.
The other positions are filled by appointment of the new editor.
Anyone who is interested in working on any phase of the news-
paper, however, should talk with a member of the present staff so
the new editor will have some core for selecting an editing staff. It
is suggested that those interested in any area of the paper talk with
the corresponding person on this year's staff. The present staff is
anxious to be of help to anyone interested. Those who are consider-
ing the position of editor should contact John Braymer. Those seek-
ing this position will be given the opportunity of working closely
with all phases of one issue of the Echo before the election. Nomina-
tions for the position of editor must he presented in writing to the
present editor by April 17.

Death of a Bigotryi
The race for the presidential nomination of the Democratic
Party is now down to two people. The bomb-shell dropped by
President Johnson has hit squarely and after the shock has worn
off (can it ever?), it appears that now the campaign will have more
importance. The tone set by the President and the two candidates
for the nomination is that of peace so now the voters have to decide
what they really want and who can really do it. It appears that the
Republican nomination is secure for Nixon, and the excitement and
vitality is in the Democratic campaign.
Truly this is an interesting political year, and one of the most
interesting aspects of the campaign is in the religion of the two
outspoken candidates for the Democratic nomination, I think that
it is not only gratifying, but hopeful, that few make an issue that
Eugene McCarthy is a Roman Catholic and that we forget or don't
have to know that Robert Kennedy is one. It was only eight years
ago that President John F. Kennedy was running for office, and
that it was an important campaign issue in regard to his religion.
It no longer is a campaign issue.
Could it be that one form of American bigotry has been
eradicated because of the fine work of the great public servants of
many religions? I don't suppose that it would have been very long
ago that it would have been impossible to see people in a small
protestant college student body and faculty in eastern Tennessee
wearing campaign buttons for a Catholic running for President.
Slowly (but ever so slowly) it may be possible that America is
beginning to practice voting habits without regard to race, color,
creed, or national origin. Well, at least creed, in part. Mustn't move
to fast, you know.

It was just four years ago that Miss Malaprop charmed me into
coming to Maryville — and I have an indelible memory of the inter-
view. It began with a question about the nature of the college . . .
"Like a lot of liberal arse colleges," she said, "MC has religious
affiliations — but it's not really supported by the Presbyterian Church.
You see, the stated purpose of the college is to witness to the Supreme
Arthur of the Universe. Gee, our favorite hymn ends with 'How
great thou, Art'."
"I see," I said. "Then does that affiliation pretty much establish
the type of atmosphere at the college?"
"Well, of course, there are reflections. We have conglomerary
chapel several times a week, and the curriculum includes both Old
and New Sentiment courses — but I certainly can't say that all the
students are Bibulous. In fact — "
"UH, ahem, I, uh, think I get the picture about that pretty well.
Say, I've also been wondering about the projected new curriculum —
can you tell me anything about it, especially the freshman philosophy
course, the one that's designed to, well, to make the student lay
bare his basic values?"
"Oh! — You mean Man's Shirt for Meaning? Yes, it's one 'of
the enervations in the new curriculum. I really don't know too much
about it but I could probably give you som — "
"That's all right — you'd probably rather tell me something of the
eAJira-curricular activities on campus, like — "
"Like the farcity sports?"
"Well, other types of social activity were more what I had in
mind."
"Sure," she said, "I understand. Well, for one thing, we usually
have a number of more or less informal dances — Alpha Stigma or
somebody will bring a recorder over to the gym and host a kind
of a, well, you know, a stereo-type dance."
"Um hmmmm. I was curious, too, about the student govern-
ment. Have they — "
"Yes yes! It's come about in a kind of ship-slod manner, but
the students are gaining a larger noise in the power stricture of the
college. But, frankly speaking, in the past few years the student
leaders have had a number of problems to cope with. Leadership in
all levels, though, is changing the whole spurt of the college."
"Oh — one more thing. If you have a big appetite, can you get
enough to eat there?"
"I naturally can't speak for the fellows, but after supper in
the parlors some of the girls are simply ravished. But then the
Student Sinner is always available for — "
"Nevermind." I said, 'i can imagine."

A MC College Student
Editoral
This campus community is a microcosm. The disillusionment,
despair, and lack of trust that has been aimed out our national
government has also been evident at Maryville; and apparently at
most colleges in our country and even in the rest of the nations. But
disillusionment has not only been shown toward college administra-
tions, but also toward student body leaders.
I am thinking particularly of last spring's campus elections.
Not many students were interested and concerned enough to
establish their candidacy or to encourage other students to run.
Maryville College is moving forward by the actions of all of its
leaders. But it needs the support of the entire campus as may be
shoiwn by a person's running for an office or by his asking a capable
f)ersK)n to do so.
My suggestion is this: that those students considering a leader-
ship position on campus — such as Student Body President or UCCF
President — make their decision soon and openly declare their candi-
dacy by a statement of position so that the campus knows whom to
consider and on what basis. Afterall, elections for student leaders
are early in May, just one month from now.

WELL
DONE
Well, the basketball season is
over now and the baseball season
is well on the way. The Soots'
basketball team finished its sea-
son with a 10-15 record, but
don't let the record disappoint
you.
The Scots had a rough start to
overcome. As they went into their
fourteenth game of the season,
they had only two wins to show
for their efforts. But the fourteen-
th game was the big turning
point. Their win against Bryan
College set the team rolling to
an impressive 8-4 second half
record. The whole team seemed
to be sparked into a fiery desire
to swallow up every team they
possibly could. Led by high scor-
ing Bill Padgett, who netted 640
points for a 25.6 average, the
Scots proved their ability to break
through strong defensive teams
while keeping their opponents'
scoring well below theirs, win-
ning by margins from 3 to 22.
As for individual achieve-
ments, the Cumulative Summary
gives you the facts. Each player
on the team did a great job,
working well with his teammates
and coach in order to give the
team the proper defense and
offense needed to have a winning
ball club. This was shown es-
pecially in the last half of the
season. The team shows a lot of
promise for next year. Men such
as freshmen Mike Barrows,
Johnny Leibrock and Lynn Mize
showed themselves capable of
playing College ball well and
should be quite good next year
if they play.
To the basketball team goes
a "well done."
M.C. vs. F.C.
The Maryville Scots opened
their 1968 baseball season with
two games against Franklin Col-
lege on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week. In the first game
the Scots won by a score of 9-6,
but the second they dropped to
Franklin 10-8.
Highlights of the first game
came in the fourth and ninth
innings. In the fourth the Scots
scored seven runs on four hits,
"" coming from behind to take over
the lead 7-2. Two more runs
scored in the sixth, ending the
Scots' scoring in the game. In
the ninth inning, with the score
9-6, Lynn Dildine made two
great running catches in center
field for two outs and Wayne
Basler stuck out the last batter.

With a 1-1 record the Scots
met Georgetown on Saturday to
play two seven-inning games.
Again the Scots won the first
and lost the second.
In the first game, Georgetown
started off by scoring two runs
in the first inning. A home run
for the Scots by Bob Macy in
the second inning brought the
score to 2-1, while great field-
ing held Georgetown down. With
two outs in the fourth, Don Kidd
knocked in two runs, putting the
Scots ahead 3-2. Georgetown tied
it up in the seventh, sending the
game into an extra inning. In
the eighth, Georgetown pulled
ahead 4-3, but the Scots came
back to win, with Gary Reagan
bunting a run in on a well-exe-
cuted squeeze play. The final
score was 5-4. The most interest-
ing plays of the game were three
run-downs in the p-ighth inning,
perfectly executed by the Scots
to end a Georgetown threat.

inning when they tied the score

In the second game, George-

scored in the third inning to end
all scoring in the game. The
Scots failed to score and the
final score was 3-0. Highlights
of the game came in the 3rd,
4th, and 7th innings. In the third
the Georgetown coach was
thrown off the field. In the
fourth, Steve Boggs made a
spectacular running catch in ex-
treme left field which sent him
diving into the gravel. In the
seventh Boggs caught a fly ball
and relayed it in to first base to
catch the runner as he tried to
get back safely. Boggs, the Scots'
leadoff batter, is a freshman
and shows a lot of promise as a
ball player.

SPRIN6 BRINGS CAMPUS CONCERN
"So I say to you, my friends,
that even though we must face
the difficulties of today and
tomorrow, I still have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted
in the American dream that
one day this nation will rise
up and live out the true mean-
ing of it's cre^ — we hold
these truths to be self evident,
that all men are created
equal."
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
What happens now? What will
it take to make us react? I mean
us — white, middle-class, pro-
stituted America. Tanks and
jeeps, personnel carriers and
scared national guardsmen. These
were seen this week-^end not in
Berlin, Saigon, Hue, or Athens;
but in Washington, Nashville,
Mempihis, Chicago ,and Oakland.
And that's all I'm going to say
about that.
Before World War II this
country wasn't too hot on having
a draft law. During the Civil War
New York was almost torn apart
by reaction to a draft system.
What happens when a nation
doesn't wake up in time?
"I fought in the Great War to
preserve this nation and I refuse
to stand by and watch you push
this country into the arms oi the
Commies. By God, my kid has
a 4-D classification anid he says
that we should stop them at any
cost. Where would we be now if
we hadn't struggled against the
Spanish in the 1890's. What if
we had let those 57 Conununists
take over the Dominican Re-
public? Those 20,000 Marines
sure took care of them. Duvalier
may not be the best ally, but you
don't hear any complaints from
chose greedy Niggers he rules, do
you? Don't worry about those
civilians in Viet Nam; they're
not so important that they can't
be overlooked in the light of the
goal which we're aiming for. If
all you kids have to do is sing
and study and fomioate and
dream up new orders then none
of you deserve to be free."
The Selective Service System
is being used as a punitive mea-
sure. Do you think such actions
will mellow with age? With a few
exceptions conscientious objec-
tors must implement their state-
ments with proof of religious
grounds against the taking of
human life. This is fine unless
you merely have serious qualms
about smearing a 14 year old
boy in blade pajamas who is
probably more interested in ex-
pelling an invader than he is in
spreading the teachings of Mao.
Tell that to your local board. Out
of the fear of Communism and
Black Power America is fast be-
coming susceptible to Fascism.
People are b6ing crucified for
new ideas. Carmicheal and
Brown-both under 30-have this
country shaking in it's bocrts. If
Nelson Rockefeller's announce-
ment that he would not actively
seek the Republican presidential
nomination has not resulted in
a wholesale desertion by students
to the camp of Richard Nixon.
In fact, two separate polls taken
last week at the University of
Texas Law School and at Alfred
University in Alfred, New York,
have indicated that support for
Rockefeller remains extremely
strong.
The results to the question
"Who do you feel should be the
Republican Presidential nominee
this November?" were as fol-

CHICAGO (CPS) — Radical faculty members stole a leaf from
the student political left and decided to organize themselves at a re-
cent conference here.
Although much of the discussion was on the question of whether
committed radicals should be in academic life at all, most of the 350
registrants from 150 campuses who gathered on the University of
Chicago campus were faculty or graduate students, with a small
smattering of undergraduates.
To "try to form a conception
of their role in universities, and
for mutual support and criti-
cism," as an organizer of the
conference put it, they formed a
permanent organization, with na-

WALTHAM, Mass. (CPS) —
Results of a poll of male seniors
at Brandeis University here, re-
leased this week, indicated that
70 percent of them will try to
avoid the draft.
Of the 180 students polled (out
of a total of 194 male seniors),
16 said they would go to jail,
and 44 said they would leave the
country rather than accept in-
duction. Another 65 said they
would "seek some kind of defer-
ment" to avoid the draft.
Of the 30 percent who are not
planning to avoid the draft, half
said they would definitely serve,
and the other half were unde-
cided.
The poll at Brandeis was one
of several that have been con-
ducted on college campuses since
the new draft regulations .were
announced February 15.
At the Mfissachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT), a poll of
404 seniors and first-year grad
students indicated that 29 per-
cent of those contacted had either
decided to leave the country, or
were seriously considering it,

BOSTON (CPS) — For two
days the words "Maurice and
Dorothy Gordon School of Nurs-
ing" could be seen on the side
of a building at Boston Uni-
versity.
Then they came down after
Mr. Gordon, a Boston landlord,
withdrew his $500,000 gift to
the school in the wake of an arti-
cle in the campus newspaper and
student protests against him.
After the $500,000 gift was
announced by the university the
BU News began looking into
Gordon's background. A wedc
later they ran an article contain-
ing comments by student tenants
who live in some of the buildings
Gordon owns. At the ceremony

were a number of student pickets,
one of whom carried a sign with
several dead rats hanging from

But Gordon never showed up
for the ceremony and the uni-

leaders were pleased. John
Young, chairman of the Boston
Congress of Racial Equality said,
"It is iio secret that in Roxbury,
where he owns considerable
private property, Gordon's build-

A Plea for Immoderation
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable
one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
G. B. Shaw
The life of a rebel in any organized society has never been
easy. Society is developed around the conservative, calm, accepting
person who will endure injustice rather than see his stability shaken.
Anyone willing to challenge the status quo is viewed by the great
moderate masses with at least suspicion and more often hate. In this
nation we have elevated the ideal of the clean-cut respectable young
man to the position of worship while at the same time relegating
the long-haired "kook" to a place of instant mistrust. (I am reminded
of a professor of mine who, after seeing the well-scrubbed, pink and
healthy faces of "Sing Out 66" participants, said that one thing
about these youths was that you always could depend upon them —
and that was a great danger in a democracy.)
A rebel is, however, more than someone who has long hair and
dresses strangely. He is a man who in the face of injustice decides
to take a stand regardless of the personal consequences. He draws
a line beyond which he will not accept further encroachment of his
rights or the rights of any other man. Such a stand is not popular,
nor is it politic with most people. A man who would rebel must
expect ostracization and perhaps violence. He who rebels without
expecting this is a fool; he who rebels in the face of it is perhaps
also a fool, but he is at the same time a real man and a hero. We
are a nation which is hard on its heros; we tend to kill them, either
socially or physically. Last week another name was added to our
already too long list of martyrs: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Since Dr. King's tragic assassination we have been inundated
with pleas for moderation from leaders both black and white. These
pleas are valid because of the very real danger that this fat and
sassy country of ours could be torn apart by riots at any moment.
And the real tragedy is that justification can easily be seen for the
terrible frustration that breeds riot: social injustice continues un-
checked in the ghetto while billions are being spent to kill non-whites
in Asia, and to be the first to put (three clean-cut white) men on
the moon, and to be the first (kid on our block) to own a super-
sonic transport. Yes, it is good that the Abemathys and the Youngs
and the Linseys seek to moderate the militants in these troubled
times. But at the same time a call must be raised to get complacent,
middle-class America off its fat, moderate ass and into the area of
genuine human involvement.
This will require those of us who are nice, safe, arm chair
philosophers to stop talking and start acting. We need more rebels —
people willing to risk some of what they have in something as hope-
lessly romantic as a cause. We have got to do something about the
cry of "Bum, baby, bum" whether it is shouted in the streets of
Detroit or a village of Vietnam. It will hurt like hell to become
involved, because he who rebels will never be accepted and each
of us really wants to be loved. It may actually involve more than
public censure — for Dr. King it meant death; but as Camus said:
"If the individual, in fact, accepts death and happens to die as
a consequence of his act of rebellion, he demonstrates by doing so
that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of a common good
which he considers more important than his own destiny."
So what can one do? What do we have to work with? Perhaps
nothing — but then as that beautiful rebel, Luke, from the movie
Cool Hand Luke said, "Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
We don't have much to work with, the moderates carry all the
weight (the weight of inertia) and know how to use it to prevent
action. But sometimes, just sometimes, someone comes along to
scramhie the odds. In the immoral jungle of big-time politics such
a man just might be Senator Eugene McCarthy, of whose campaign
a cynical political "realist" asked, "What do you want, a winner
or a hero?" Well, personally, right now I am more interested in
a hero, someone willing to risk a future for a belief.
This is what we as students must learn: how and when to draw
personal lines and how to get the guts to speak out when these lines
are transgressed, whether by flaming idiots like George Wallace or
by decent, moderate America. Rebellion will be painful and lonely,
but we can no longer afford not to be individuals. To rebel means
to eventually sell out or be killed, but there is a difference between
merely existing and really living, and that difference is defined by
our actions. Chances for expression will be offered. There may still
be a march on Washington this spring, and, there will certainly be
a long, hot summer to follow with opportunities for us to drop our
non-involvement and perhaps save our country. You will be broken
someday, and when you fall the fool will rejoice; but that may be
throug'h fear because he knows that "We shall overcome . . . some-
day."

Let freedom ring from the mighty

Let freedom ring from the heigh-

And when we allow freedom to

up that day when all of God's
children — black men and
white men, Jews and Gen-
tiles, Catholics and Protest-
tants — will be able to join
hands and to sing in the
words of the old Negro
spiritual. "Free at last, free
at last, thank God Almighty,
we are free at last."
Martin Luther King
America may be near to being mortally wounded as a result of
the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968.
Only a fool could say that the violence that was evident this past
weekend will not erupt again this summer, or will continue in
guerilla warfare style up to, and. during, the hot summer. The
Moses of the moderate element was killed leaving the leadership in
the hands of the extreme element on both sides of the racial lines, the
racial militaristic lines. The hopes for non-violent change have
diminished to a terrifyingly low level. If it results in a civil war
it is obvious which side will win, but the price will be tremendous:
the richest and most powerful and sickest country in the world.
We all love our country. After the strong emotional stress has
worn off we must organize ourselves and try to save her. What we
have done to black people and what the black people do, we the
whites have brought upon ourselves. But we can do something. We
do not abandon sick loved ones and we can not abandon our beloved'
country. Ask yourself if our bigotry is worth the destruction and
death that another civil war would bring. Can we afford to see
tanks in our home towns, be they Washington, Detroit, or Maryville?
As Christians are we promoting man's humanity to man? Are
peoples' lives worth our stiff-necked pride? Is a television set more
valuable than an American life?
As long as whites hate blacks, as long as the white community
insists that it must place negro's in the concentration camps of the
glhettos, as long as white people refuse the right of human dignity,
they are not free. They will not taste freedom but death. We
are the bounded. Unless we realize our human conscience we will
never rejoice in the spiritual . . . "Free at last, free at last, Great
God Almighty! We are free at last!"

Dear Editor:
The other night while watching
TV I saw a jazz pianist known
as Oscar Peterson play. This set
me to thinking about Maryville
and Jazz. Jazz has been around
for quite a long time. Maybe it
hasn't been around as long as
classical music, but it's been
around longer than pop-rock. I'm
not knocking these other forms
of music. I enjoy listening to
classical music as well as pop
music, but I also like jazz and
think it is an important musical
form and is as much a part of
today as the classical and pop
forms.
If Maryville is going to
modernize itself (as expressed in
Time magazine) it should do
something with jazz. If part of
Maryville's purpose is "An edu-
cation that truly libei'ates involv-
ing full and free exploration"
then jazz should be at MC since
it is a full and free exploration
of music. I don't consider the
fact t!hat the FAC music library
only has obtained one, yes one,
jazz record out of all the many
records it has, to be liberal, but
rather tending to be one-sided.
I think the jazz people deserve
more than one Dave Brubeck
record, and I would like to see
many more jazz records avail-
able in the future. (The Thaw
Hall Library finally subscribed
to Downbeat.)
Furthermore, I would like to
suggest that Maryville have a
jazz artist to perform sometime
in the future. Such big names as
Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, Oscar
Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, or Wes
Montgomery could each give a
fabulous and meaningful concert
and for no more money than any
pop-group. I feel strongly that
something of this nature should
be investigated, and I hope that
it might be followed through so
that someday in the near future
Maryville will announce the per-
formance of a jazz musician.

Dear Campus Editor:
I am writing at this time to
inform you of a truly great piece
of news.
JOSH WHITE, JR., your
favorite entertainer, who was
signed by United Artists Records
a few weeks ago will have his
first album out on that label
The title is "THE JOSH WHITE,
JR. ALBUM" and everyone who
has heard the first cuts is enor-
mously excited. In fact, United
Artists is already so enthusiastic
that they are exerting all efforts
to insure its success.
Josh sings such tunes as "The
Impossible Dream," "Goin' Out
of My Head," "Suzanne" and
seven other delightful songs, in
his own inimitable fashion. In
fact, it is the kind of- singing that
truly gives you the reason why
he is tagged "The Total Enter-
tainer." Fine arrangements and
a talented musical crew backs
Josh on this release.
I hope you will see fit to make
mention of this new album re-
lease in your college publication
so that those who number among
his many fans may have an op-
portunity to request this at the
book and record shops.
Thank you so much for your
interest and cooperation.

She made it clear that it was im-

WHAT IS A CO,?
WASHINGTON (CPS) — With the chances that Congress will
do anything about the current draft regulations growing more
minuscule every day, many students will soon be locJcing down the
barred of the Selective Service System.
Michael Tigar, a young Washington lawyer who has handled
many draft cases, and is now editor-in-chief of a mew law journal
cailled the Selective Service Law Reporter, recendy offered some
suggestions about how students should respond to the threat of the
draft.
His recommendations, based on a careful study of the current
draft laws and the administrative regulations that accompany them,
are necessarily somewhat broad in scope, since he could not take
into account the idiosyncracies of individual draft boards. He does
feel, though, his suggestions should be of some help to prospective
draftees in colleges around the country.
Tigar's basic suggestion for students is that they plan carefully
in dealing with the Selective Service System. Many students take
the position that the best way to avoid the draft is to ignore it, in
hopes that it will go away. Tigar says that is a fundamental mistake.
"Don't stay away from your draft board," Tigar says; "Go to
the board and look in your file. If you can't go yourself, you can
designate someone else in writing — preferably a member of your
family — to check your file for you. And besides that, consult some-
one who is competent in Selective Service la.w."
Tigar points out that they are relatively few lawyers who are
knowledgeable about the draft laws. He says, though, that "in virtual-
ly every large community there will be one or two lawyers who are
qualified."
Tigar recommends consulting a lawyer early rather than late.
He also feels that "a student who can afford to pay (the lawyer's
fee) should do so. There are a lot of indigent registrants, and many
lawyers are eager to work on behalf on these people, but they can't
do it without some financial resources."
In the matter of classifications, Tigar recommends that students
not get a II-S (student) deferment if they can avoid it, since anyone
who has held a II-S since July 1, 1967, will not be eligible for a III-
A (family) deferment after losing his II-S. If a registrant has been
automatically granted a II-S, though, rather than applying for it,
the restriction on getting a III-A doesn't apply.
In any case, Tigar suggests that any student who believes he
may qualify for a deferment other than II-S should make the effort
to obtain it. Some of the steps he suggests are:
1. If there is a chance of a
registrant being disqualified for
medical reasons, he should look

sistant Sports Editor of the As-
sociated Press in New York City,
will be the featured speaker at the
Maryville College All-Sports Banquet
scheduled for the College Dining
Room in Pearsons Hall on the cam-
pus Thursday evening, April 18 at
7 p.m.
Mr. Claassen plans to speak about

Olympic games, and some highlights
and anecdotes about them as he has
covered the Olympic games for many
years. He also plans to talk about
the role of the small college in ath-
letics.
into the matter on his own.
Qassification physicals are a
"mass production" process, in
which subde pihysical disquali-
ficiations often escape the at-
tention of the examiners.
The Army's book on medical
standaids for draftees is avail-
able to the public through the
Government Printing Office in
Washington. Registrants are ad-
vised to see a doctor to determine
if they are disqualified under
the standards set by the Army.
Finally, many registrants don't
realize that a CO. applicant need
not believe in an anthropo-
morphic God. As a result of the
Supreme's Court decision in the
case of Daniel Seeger, a CO. can
base his objection to war on a
deeply-rooted value system that
has the same function iri his life
as the belief in God does in the
life of a religious man.
In his actual dealings with his
board, Tigar says, a registrant
should not take the position that
the less he has to do with it, the
better. Tigar recommends that

In an exclusive statement of
policy delivered to the Executive
Offices of CHOICE 68, former
Vice President Richard Nixon
presented a strategic blueprint
that differed little from the Ad-
ministration's policy prior to
President Johnson's withdrawal
from the 1968 campaign.
In Mr. Nixon's view the war
is one of aggression from the
North — a separate state — and
he discounts those critics who
see the struggle in terms of in-
ternal civil war. Nixon's scenario
thus invites the characterization
of the North as "aggressors" and
the South as "invaded territory."
The United States is therefore
obligated to "maintain a suf-
ficient level of military activity
to convince the enemy first, that
he cannot win the war, and
second, that for him to continue
pursuing a military victory is
not worth the cost." Nixon felt
that only when the communists
realize that their fight is hopeless
should our military effort slacken.
On no account, Mr. Nixon con-
tinued, should our strategy of
bombing the North be abandoned
or temporarily halted because of
rumored peace feelers or hysteria
on the home front. On the con-
trary, the conditions for cessation
of bombing should be rigid and
subject only to the halt of hosti-
lities by the North. "If support
for the aggression in the South
diminishes, then the bombing can
diminish. If the North ceases to
fuel the war in the South, then
the bombing can cease." Nixon
refused to accept anything short
of a conventional military "vic-
tory" in Vietnam, as a negotiated
settlement involving concessions
to the North appears to be un-
acceptable to him.
He did not, however, feel that
those who are clamoring for the
utilization of nuclear weapons
should be catered to. "I do not
foresee," he stated emphatically
"any need for the use of either
tactical or strategic atomic
weapons, and I think their em-
ployment would be a dangerous
mistake."

Nixon's statement to CHOICE
68 on domestic affairs was even
more detailed. He saw the cur-
rent "urban crisis," for instance,
as "the crisis of poverty and the
crisis of crime," and suggests that
to fight one while ignoring the
other would be social lunacy.
Nixon has in the past been
widely accused of being more
specific and energetic in his anti-
crime campaigns and messages
than in his recommendations for
eliminating poverty in American
daily life. But in his CHOICE
68 statement, he came out strong-
ly for placing hig'hest priority on
job training and employment
opportunities. "Earnings from a
job," he wrote, "would provide
the urban poor with the dignity
that no income subsidy will ever
provide. It would also provide
both social mobility and the op-
portunity for the poor to either
improve their own housing, or
move to new housing. The strong-
est chains holding the urban
poor to the ghetto today are
neither legal nor racial but eco-
nomic."
Mr. Nixon concluded his re-
marks by praising the CHOICE
68 project, saying that "To those
of us on the receiving end, it will
be a signal as to whether our
message has gotten across; it will
give us an insight into what is
troubling young America and
where young America wants to
be headed."
COMMENTS ON
CHOICE •68
Mark Hatfield:
"I can think of no other time
in our nation's history when stu-
dents have been so well informed
on the great issues which con-
front this nation. I have had
the rare privilege and pleasure
of speaking at some 30 Uni-
versities and Colleges, and I can
personally attest to their deep
in®ight and personal involvement
in the issues of today. Through
the vehicle of Choice '68 I would
hope that every college student in
America would utilize his vote
as a means of expression in in-
fluencing this nation with regard
to the candidates and the issues
facing the American people in
this election year."
Richard Nixon:
"Choice '68 is a thoroughly
worthwhile exercise. It ensiles
the largely disfranchised student
to make a political impact with
his views on the great issues and
his preference among the candi-
dates. It enables the American
student community as a whole to
make an impact upon the elec-
torate that will choose the next
President."
Charles Percy:
"Since college students make
up a sizeable part of our popula-
tion and will in truth be "tomor-
row's leaders," I hope both
political parties will take serious
note of the results of this Choice
68. I personally will be watching
it very closely."
Nelson Rockefeller:
"I heartily approve of
CHOICE 68. College students
today are extremely well-inform-
ed and their energy, idealism
and intelligence are great sources
of inspiration for us all. CHOICE
68 gives these young men and
women a dhance to express their
political views in a meaningful
way. It is vital to the future of
democracy in American that the
young be able to participate fully
in the established political sys-
tem."
Harold Stassen:
"CHOICE 68 is an excellent
project and should be a further
factor in developing student
power to influence the course of
the nation in this critical year."

Emerson once wrote that
"society is a wave. The wave
moves onward, but the water
of which it is comiposed does
not."
In light of the tumult of the
recent past, this could have some
significance. The water in the
society which we dream and
strive — each in his own way
(and that is important) — to
try to produce will still be people.
Except they will be us, not them.
Besides the riots, there are
elections coming up. If you don't
like to riot, elections mi^t have
to be your thing — even if you
can't be as proud of a vote.
Riots are frustration. So are
elections. Though some people
don't believe in elections, they
are often quite useful.
Though Thoreau, who didn't
have anything to lose, didn't like
votes, they are still a way (not
the way) to bring yourself about.
There are many things to be
better. Here and elsewhere.
Qioice '68 is a way to help. So
is November, with all its lies,
(or will this, time really be dif-
ferent).
Campus elections are sneaking
up. Experience is by no means
wisdom, but it does teach. A
particularly noticeable tendency
of the human creature is that
tendency which lets us dislike
people because we do not react
"to assorted trauma in the same
physical-emotional way in which
our companions react to tfhe
same trauma.
If anyone is all that sure that
his way is the only way, let him
spp-ak uip.
Otherwise, think about the
task you feel needs tackling.
Think who would be best able to
solve the problem. It makes very
little difference who is cute or
friendly — unless being cute,
athletic or friendly will solve the
problem.
Elected people deal with other
people. Convictions are import-
ant. So are tactics. But the final
product must remain central.
Politics is a game which has to
be played, even if it is un-
pleasant. And it is. But political
structures, here and out there,
hold the doors open — and shut.
We cannot altord to demand
that the people we vote for (and
the people we like — and they
do not have to be the same) do
what we do. But we can ask them
to believe in the same basic
human rights we believe in. And
to believe in them out loud.
"The wave moves onward, but
the water of which it is composec'
does not."

M.C. Development Plans
A development campaign to
raise money for needs totaling
$3 million at Maryville College
will be launched later this month.
The Board of Directors ap-
proved the campaign after sur-
veying existing campus needs
and consulting with professional
planners.
The money raised from alumni,
friends, foundations, corpora-
tions, and other sources will be
allocated to a new health and
physical education building, a
new library, a better student
center, increased faculty salaries,
and additional scholarships.
First priority will be allocated
to the health and physical edu-
cation building costing
$1,450,000. A grant of Federal
funds in the amount of $500,000
will reduce the cost of this build-
ing to $950,000 to be raised from
other sources. This building will
replace the functions of Bartlett
Hall, the swimming pool, Alumni
Gymnasium, and the Intramural
Gymnasium which have long out-
lived their intended use.
The proposed building will in-
clude classrooms, faculty offices,
exercise areas, a swimming pool,
and an auditorium-gymnasium
capable of seating 3,600 persons.
It will contain 83,000 square
feet on one floor.
Another capital need is a new
library. A total of $1 million
must be raisedi to build the
structure. The Directors have
given "immediate goal" status to
a new library after evaluating
the present facility in Thaw Hall.
Prime consideration was given to
the lack of study space for stu-
dents and storage area for new
materials.
The proposed building, to be
built on four levels, would in-
clude approximately 400 carrels
for independent study, open stack
areas, and auditorium seating
200 persons, several seminar
rooms, two reading areas, and a
microfilm room. The building
would contain 78,000 square feet.
A faculty committee of Miss Vir-
ginia Turrentine, head librarian,
and chairman of the committee,
Dr. James A. Bloy, David R.
Cartlidge, Dr. Elizabeth H. Jack-
son, Miss Sharon Matti, Dr. Paul
J. Ogren, Dr. Russdl D. Parker,
Dr. Margaret T. Sherer, Dr. Arda
S. Walker, and Dr. Boyd Daniels
oudined a specific needs to the
architectural firm. Barber and
McMurry.
The cost of renovating Thaw
Hall for use as a Student Center
is $300,000. Facilities would in-
clude space for reading, music,
parties, dances, snacks, organiza-
tion and society meetings, and
recreation.
Although Maryville College has
raised faculty salaries s u b-
stantially in recent years, other
economic factors have also risen
substantially. A total of $450,000
is needed for further increases
in faculty salaries during the
next three years. This wiU enable
Maryville College to remain com-
petitive with comparable in-
stitutions of higher education

above the level at Maryville. Ac-
cording to Dr. Joseph J. Cope-
land, President of Maryville Col-
lege, adequate faculty com-
pensation is most vital in assur-
ing the continued growth and
attractiveness of the college.
Anodier $300,000 will be al-
located to improve the scholar-
ship program. This will increase
the number and quality of
scholarships available to attract
the exceptionally qualified stu-
dent.
The devdopment campaign
will be tided "150 Fund," re-
ferring to the College's almost
150 years of service. Campaign
offices are located in Anderson
HaU.
Bill Fleming, director of
development, said, "The forth-
coming campaign will enable
Maryville College to begin its
second 150 years with a modem
physical plant and continued
educational quality."

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSOIN
(CPS) — Sheriff's deputies ar-
rested 32 Bard College students,
14 of them on narcotics charges,
in the third pre-dawn police raid
on a college campus this year.
The deputies arrived in the
Bard campus at 1 a.m. April 6,
setting up roadblocks at the three
entrances to the campus. Mean-
while other deputies searched
dorms, arresting 14 on drug
charges and confiscating quant-

ities of marijuana, pep pills, and
heroin.
Some of the 18 arrested on
non-drug charges were charged
with interfering with the police
and harrassment of police of-
ficers. Some caught in the road-
block were charged with drunk
driving and other traffic viola-
tions. The students harrassed the
officers extensively, spitting on
them and yelling at them. How-
ever, some students said they
were arrested for simply going
up to the deputies and asking for
their badge numbers.
Bard President Reamer Kline
posted $28,000 worth of bail per-
sonally for the students. Bails
ranged from $100 to $6,250, but
averaged $1-2,000. Kline said
any action against the students
would be determined according
to the individual cases.
Duchess County Sheriff Law-
rence Quinlin said the arrests
were made following a two-month
investigation and that more ar-
rests were coming. Quinlin ad-
mitted he had information from
inside the campus about drug
use.
President Kline called rumors
that the informant posed as a
college employee "unfounded,"
but most students believe him
to be Tom Roberts, a Negro
security guard who disappeared
during the raid and who told
one student he was the informant.

Changing Values?
With characteristic lack of fanfare, the Office of Development
last week released an announcement of proposed building plans for
a new physical education complex and a new library. The text of the
news release (appearing on the front page of this issue) is extremely
interesting. Not surprisingly, however, the unwritten part of it tells
a more significant story. The library has been placed on "im-
mediate goal" status; but the P.E. complex is the first concern. This
seems to be the Development Office's way of saying that physical
education is more important than a new library; more important,
than the study alcoves for 400 students, the reading area, and the
seminar rooms which it will include.
For $300,000, Thaw Hall, once liberated from its present use,
could be converted into a student center, including "space for
reading, music, parties, dances, snacks, organization and society
meetings, and recreation." Apparently, the physical education build-
ing is also more important than these.
Finally, the release stated that Maryville needs $450,000 in
the next three years for faculty salaries, if it is to "remain competi-
tive." Again, this seems to have been of secondary importance
tio the new P.E. plant.
Perhaps the reason for building the P.E. plant first is that the
school intends to remove the reasons which prompted it to eliminate
the P.E. major in the first place. I heartily agree that physical edu-
cation has an important place in a liberal arts college; and that it
can only be really effective if it enjoys gocxl facilities. Maryville's
facilities are now considerably less than good — their improvement
should definitely be rated as an "immediate goal." But it seems
to me that the emphasis has been placed in the wrong comer by
considering the new complex before the library, the student center,
an<l the raising of teachers' salaries.
Or perhaps the reason is that factors of political and financial
nature make it seem easier to those in charge. It might be that
stipulations of federal grants and private donations in reality greatly
change the difference between the building costs of the two build-
ings in question — building costs which on the surface seem to favor
the construction of the library first. If this is the case, we as students
ought to know the facts of the decision.
Otherwise, we are forced to question the wisdom of building the
new P.E. plant before the library, the student center, and the raise
in salaries. How can this be considered, when the Sutton Science
Center will be "completed" this June, boasting no furniture in the
research room, and no books on the research shelves, because of lack
of funds?

While a great deal of the nation-wide upheaval following the
murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. has settled below the boiling
point, there is one question that two weeks of serious reflection have
not been able to settle for me. Why has Maryville G)llege, an in-
stitution which aspires to be not only a leader among academic
communities, but also a witness of the Christian commitment, stood
by so mutely, while other institutions throughout the country have
proven their leadership and commitment both by berating verbally
the act of April 4, and by displaying this attitude in more poignant
ways? The real irony of this situation is seen in watching our
"fragmented, secular institutions" take the reins of leadership out
of the hands of communities such as ours. The College Press Service
reported the following six short days after King's death:
At the University of Iowa, President Howard R. Bowen
announced that he would seek funds from alumni and
other sources to provide scholarships for members of minor-
ity groups. He also said the university was considering
setting up an Institute of Afro-American Affairs, and he
directed the dean of the faculty to review Iowa's programs
relating to poverty research and Afro-American studies
with a view to expanding them.
In his remarks at a memorial convocation attended by
thousands of students, Bowen urged students to press Con-
gress for legislation that would aid black people.
Scholarships have also been established at Vanderhilt University
and the University of Georgia in memory of Dr. King. These are but
two of the predominately white schools which have made such moves,
not to mention similar actions in Negro schools throughout the
country.
It is a distasteful feeling when one suspects that the professed
leadership and witness break down under the pressure of factors
which do not always coincide with the actual stated purpose of an
institution. Where is it then that Maryville will lead? And to what
will Maryville be a witness? Will we only find these answers in
looking at what the status quo provides? Or is my definition of
witness — "showing evidence of — to be replaced by another —
"standing by and watching"?

Letter . . .
Dear Editor:
I had the pleasure of visiting
your campus while on my Spring
Break from Morehead State Uni-
versity where I am presently en-
rolled. One of the reasons I came
to Maryville is that I am leaving
Morehead and looking for a
better place to continue my edu-
cation in a free atmosphere.
Since December of this year
at Morehead, four teachers have
been fired without reason (one
of whom was a Maryville grad-
uate) ; Russian has been dropped
as a language (the Russian
teacher is one of the four being
fired) ; out-of-state tuition was
raised; and compulsory R.O.T.C.
has been added for all male
freshmen. Also the student coun-
cil is undergoing a drastic
change.
From this turmoil an under-
ground newspaper was started.
The official school newspaper.
The Trail Blazer, is just a tool in
the hands of the president. Since
the Student Poll (the under-
ground newspaper) has started,
pressure has been brought on it,
including name-calling and threat
of law suits.
I am glad to see that Maryville
has a school newspaper such as
the Highland Echo. I have seen
here the beginning of the free-
dom which is possible to achieve
in a school, be it college or uni-
versity. Value your freedom, but
more than that, use it. There are
places less fortunate than Mary-
ville.

The hope Maryville had two years ago is gone. Being aware
of the accomplisihments of the last two years, one wonders where
the hope has gone and why it has gone. What forces have turned
the deep and energetic hope of faculty and students into a new
despair, an unacknowledged hatred, a deeper feeling of anti-
Mary ville?
Maryville has made gains in her physical plant with more to
come; she has forged ahead in the area of curricula and has moved
with some alacrity in destroying the small requirements associated
with a paternalistic institution. But what is missing? Is it "an
education that truly liberates" involving "full and fere exploration"?
Is a restriction of freedom somehow correlated to this new despair;
is it frustration over not achieving the great expectations of two
years ago, or is it reality not living up to the dream which has
sent as to this nadir of feeling?
Maryville finds herself in the unenviable position of not taking
'her students or faculty seriously. She finds herself reacting to cur-
rent social problems with an old social code. She finds herself jeal-
ously guarding her standards of grading without looking at her
standards of teaching. She is grading hard but does that insure
quality? She promulgates a statement of purpose, but is unable
to recognize manifestations of its implementation. She is in a posi-
tion of professing Christian love and concern, but she is unable
to help the troubled students within her, to establish a significant
student-faculty-administration relationship, to build a resevoir of
trust between student and administration, and to secure for herself
the confidence necessary to tackle the pressing problems of the
time with apparent honesty, conviction, and cooperative effort.
Her actions seem to be undermined by a feeling of selfisihness,
noncreativity, insecurity and traditionalism. Surely all these negations
do not come from a lack of communication between her component
parts. Perhaps then, some originate from the reality of the lack of
freedom which her components have, which they feel, or which they
feel they can practice. The point seems to be, and glaringly so,
that the academic body does not have a responsible sense of freedom,
action, inquiry, criticism, interest, motivation, or concern.
Maryville has lost her zest for life. She has lost her desire for
discussion and criticism and has chosen instead to find her security
in a determined consensus and conformity. Maryville is where
diversity has been removed as an alternative, where personal initia-
tive and creativity are restricted and where honest intellectual
dialogue goes on between too few students and faculty.
For some reason the reality of Maryville does not match her
idealism. She has not been able to translate her intentions, beliefs,
or commitments into an explicit meaningful program of action
which allows all her parts to recognize and know unmistakably that
she stands where she says she has, is and will continue to stand.
Maryville has many wonderful thoughtful people who have
been placed in charge of student concerns and affairs. But she has
been unable to free these people — to allow them to be effective and
significant. Maryville desperately needs, in the area of student
relations, people who can create and maintain a connection with
all facets of student thought, desire, and concern. These people must
know the student's fears, jealousies, aspirations, indictments, hatreds,
loves, and they must know these things out of respect and trust.
Students and Maryville need someone who can have unofficial and
official rapport with the student body. Both need a person who will
take the students more seriously than the members of the administra-
tion of which he is a part. The students need a representative on
the Executive Council as much as the faculty does.
Thus Maryville finds herself in a difficult position: she has
the people, but they are people who in different degrees are not
able to do the job Maryville needs to have done, and her time is
running out.
Maryville cannot exist in a system of suspicion. We, as students,
cannot work with men in authority who will not or cannot assume
the authority or initiative needed to tackle the problems, but Who
rely only on what is written or handed down.
Student-administration relationships in the fields of student
life and activity will disappear unless there are people in these areas
who will take creative initiative, assume authority, ask for and
search for the power to institute change, stand on their conviction
to be honest and forthright, and cease to hide behind the cloak of
administrative bureacracy as an excuse not to deal with the issues.
Perhaps then Maryville will realize that something drastic is needed
and is needed quickly. She needs either new Hfe in these positions
or she needs new freedom for those in these positions.
All of us who make up Maryville must then ask ourselves what
have we done, what have we considered? We have yet to demand
or assume that degree of academic atmosphere which allows us and
demands us to tackle the problems of our time; which requires each
of us as individuals to become aware, to question, to seek and to
formulate opinions and solutions to the problems we see. But how
many of us see no problems at all: this Maryville, is your legacy.
How few of us have not yet learned to see an issue from many sides,
to see the value of human life, to attempt to relate our existence
with that of all men : this Maryville, is your guilt.
How many of us feel that the teachings and pronouncen>ents
of Maryville are but so many moralisms and words: this Maryville,
is your mystery.

Little Stuff
Mothers' Day is fast approach-
ing. Freshmen and Transfers
might like to know that sacred
holiday has its own tradition
here at MC. Now, being light-
hearted and gay, we all like to
observe traditions, especially if
a little gusto can be added to
our celebration. The Administra-
tion, mistakenly thinking that we
students want to do away with
all traditions here, have been
nice enough to make plans for a
"meaningful weekend activity"
for this Mothers' Day. However,
it is felt that we cannot abandon
so noble a tradition as the water
riots for something which may
be temporarily satisfying but
which would leave us in the long
run no better off spiritually.
Gee, it must be fun to be a
prof at Maryville and not be
able to smoke in your office.
Who says ye students have it so
bad?
Anyone who happened to
wander through the rock gardens
behind our President's house
would be proud indeed to see
the wide variety of weeds which
have been cultivated there. Any-
one intent on making a col-
lection of Autumn leaves need
not despair if he was busy else-
where last Autumn. A fine
sampling can be found in the
pleasant pools scattered around
the garden. One unfortunate
word however; a few flowers, ap-
parently planted several years
ago by some misguided gardener,
have managed to sprout up
among all the lovely weeds.
Several boys were apprehended
on or about seven o'clock on the
evening of Sunday, April 7, play-
ing Softball. Our diligent night
watchmen did a very fine job
in stopping these boys who were
so obviously interfering with the
Vespers services.
Signs were seen advising
everyone to stand up for their
beliefs by cutting classes on Good
Friday. Apparently quite a few
people consider Convocation to
be a class.
So you think you've got it
rough? Care to be required to

Follies Reviewed
It began as most events at MC
begin . . . late. However, after
this initial setback our Freshman
Class proceeded to pound out a
light evening of entertainment
for those who attended the Frosih
Follies. To the reviewer's know-
ledge this is the first such event
to get off the ground and it is
to be hoped that it will be the
basis for another of those Mary-
ville traditions, this one more
welcome than some. Gary Nier
and Ethel Ann Scruggs MC'd a
program full of com, mistakes,
and talent. The audience laughed
at the com, forgave the mistakes,
and applauded the talent.
The entire program was so
compounded of fun, old jokes,
new ideas, and hard work that
the audience had little choice but
to sit back and enjoy the show.
Once so relaxed it was easy to
let younself enjoy the voices of
Jan Metzger and Lynn Gillespie
and the banjo work of Nat Kuy-
kendall. The audience broke up
at a number that can only be
known as true Naval Maneuvers
and thereafter found it rather
easy to forgive even the excuses
offered by Gary for less success-
ful numbers. We were aware that
the Exodus number was difficult
and even Gary's apologies
couldn't quite detract from the
fact that Dan Rhone had been
playing a very good upright
piano in the number. Certainly
everyone in the program de-
served credit for their very pre-
sence but this reviewer couldn't
help feeling that apologies hurt
the performances they were in-
tended to help.
The second half opened with
an excellent performance by
Connie O'Connell, the mood was
set, and. the second half proved
more enjoyable than the first.
The program was built up
through Uz Boyce's flute num-
ber, some precision dancing by
Carey Cox and group, and
climaxed in an act by the Warren
Gaughan Trio. Jazz has be«i

lamentably overlooked at Mary-
ville and the Trio's work Satur-
day Nigiht was a splendid in-
troduction, especially in the drum
work of Bruce Smith. From then
on the program slacked off until
the Finale-Stage Crew scene
which was unfortunately trite and
overdone.
Talent shows have a habit of
bogging down but this one man-
aged to keep going and all things
considered it was a good night's
entertainment and well worth the
time and trouble the Freshmen
put into it.

CHOICE 68
Fred Halstead, die Socialist
Workers Party candidate for
President, announced recently
his plans to go to Vietnam and
Japan this summer to campaign
among servicemen.
"I don't plan to do anything
provocative," Mr. Halstead said,
"I just plan to listen and learn."
Halstead, forty years old, was
his party's candidate in the '64
election, where he was on the
ballot in eleven states. He re-
ceived 40,000 votes, and expects
to be a candidate in at least
thirty states this November.
The CHOICE 68 election is
regarded by Halstead as a "uni-
que opportunity" for students
across the country to register
their feelings against the Viet-
nam War and the current Ad-
ministration.
"Young people," he noted,
"who become draf table at 18 but
still don't have the right to vote,
actually have the most at stake
when it comes to the question of
war. It is young people who are
sent to do the dying and killing
in Vietnam. CHOICE 68 will en-
able a massive part of American
youth, those on campuses, to
repudiate Lyndon Johnson and
his war."
Halstead is probably Che least
known individual running in tiie
CHOICE 68 election, but by
virtue of the alphabetic arrange-
ment of the candidates' names,
he enjoys the top position on the
primary's ballot. Considering the
presence of twelve other candi-
dates, this represents no small ad-
vantage.
He is currently campaigning
almost exclusively on college
campuses throughout the country,
and is basing his attack mostly
on two issues, "Bring the GIs
Home ' from Vietnam" and,
"Black Control of the Black Com-
munity."

Effects of Segregation
By WALTER GRANT
ATLANTA (CPS) — Despite continued protests trom many
Negro college administrators, the Southern Regional Education
Board is quietly beginning to implement the recommendations of its
controversial report on Negro higher education.
"We are in the very active stages of getting some of our pro-
posals off the ground," says Dr. James M. Godard, project director
for SREB's Commission on Higher Educational Opportunity in the
South, the body which last fall made public its study of Negro
colleges. "We already have financial support for some projects, and
we are seeking support for others "
But these programs, due to leges, rather than on its positive
Of Goats and Men
Goatman, alias Charles Mc-
Cartney, is found by following
thick black smoke column to its
source of burning tires, kerosene,
and rubbish. He was born in
Iowa, so long ago that he "can't
remember;" although he does re-
member that he has been on the
road for 37 years. His avocation
is preaching the gospel, and this
he will do, to any interested by-
stander. He says he is a Baptist;
one of the pamphlets he carries
with him to sell says that he has
a mission in Georgia. His cart is
littered (in the fullest sense of
the word) with his collected
paraphernalia, among which are
several free religious tracts. His
many Bibles are well-used — when
asked what he reads, he said,
"The Bible, from cover to cover."
His goats are all his friends — he
has travelled all over the country
with them, and has been through
hard times with them. Old Bill,
one of his favorite goats, now
the critical nature of the SREB
report on the future of Negro
colleges, lack the full support of
some Negro college administra-
tors. Many of these administra-
tors are suspicious of SREB,
which is a public agency of 15
Southern and border states, and
have been highly critical of its
recent report about their col-
leges.
The report, whidh has received
the endorsement of most Southerr
governors, said Southern Negrc
institutions "do not match their
predominately white counterparts
in admission standards, breadth
and depth of curriculum, quality
recommendations. "Some of the
presidents (of Negro colleges)
have modified their criticisms
after studying the report and
realizing our goal is to provide
equal educational opportunities
for Negroes," Dr. Godard said.
Interviews with several Negro
college presidents, however, in-
dicated there still is wide-spread
criticism and resentment of the
report and SREB's efforts to pro-
ceed with the report's recom-
mendations. A typical response
came from Dr. Lucious H. Pitts,
president of Miles College in
Birmingham, Ala. He said, "I
have not cooled off at all. Studies

But he seems more ready to
talk about himself than preach
his gospel. He says he has been
"beaten, shot at, and burned."
But he insists that he has never
been bothered by police for his
meanderings along the public
roads. In fact, he later asserted
that he was never bothered by
anyone. He is a hated man, he
feels, due to the fact that he is
trying to spread the Truth which
was taught by Christ.
His living habits are peculiar
at best. Part of his wagon com-
plex is used for storing his life's
belongings and his items for sale
— the previously-mentioned re-
ligious tracts, picture postcards
of himself, mock wanted posters
of himself, and pamphlets about
himself; the other part of the
wagon is his sleeping quarters.

deceased, deserved a memorial,
which Goatman himself provided
in the form of a poem-eulogy, on
sale for twenty-five cents. He
does not know all his goats by
name, however, and is more like-
ly to use "you gol-danged goat,
I'll rip ya apart" to get his com-
panions' attention than a name
anyway. He says that he likes
to live with the goats, because
they don't hurt anybody, and
they are good friends to him
(a married man, McCartney has
discovered that wives do not care
for his chosen way of life).
His political position is clear
from the "Wallace for President"
signs that join with the "Jesus
Wept" signs to adorn his wagons.
He says that he has had no edu-
cation, so we must conclude that
his reading ability is self-taught.
The interview with Goatman
can be concluded with this in-
teresting note: He eats in restau-
rants, and claims to have con-
siderable (Others who have
known him say as much as
$50,000) savings in a Georgia
bank.

The students go to trial April

make the charges stick.
This is the third such pre-dawn

Last November a raid at the State

Student Apathy
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (CPS)
— The president of Butler Uni-
versity, a small, private school
here, is taking no chances that
controversial speakers will appear
on the campus.
When the student assembly,
whitih helps run Butler's lecture
series, made the American As-
sociation of University Professors
(AAUP) statement on academic'
freedom part of its by-laws this
month. President Alexander E.
Jones said neither funds nor
facilities would be available for
the series unless its organizers
signed an agreement not to bring
controversial speakers in.
The AAUP statement says that
no speaker should be banned be-
cause of his views. Late last year,
Jones refused to adopt the state-
ment as university policy, saying
that it conflicted with Buder's
constitution.
After Jones demanded a sign-
ed agreement, the Assembly met
and voted to strike the AAUP
statement from its by-laws, and
pass it as a resolution instead.
This satisfied the president,
who withdrew his demand for
a signed agreement. Some mem-
bers of the faculty were reported-
ly dismayed, however. Thomas
Willey, a history professor, re-
signed as advisor to the assembly
after its change of stance on the
AAUP statement.
According to Rick Stout, editor
of the student newspaper, the
speaker ban has never been test-
ed at Buder. The university's
original charter, drawn up when
Buder was under church sponsor-
ship, says that no speakers will
be allowed on campus if they
preach immorality, hatred or
speak in a manner contrary to
Christian principles.
also referred to the previous re-
ports. John D. Withers, dean of
the faculty at Clark College in
Adanta, said it is "no accident"
that there have been three recent
reports criticizing Negro colleges.
He indicated whites may be try-
ing to destroy the Negro college
system by " 'political twig bend-
ing.' They may be building a
body of literature which wiU sup-
port anything they want to do
to us in the future."
Although most Negro ad-
ministrators have criticized the
SREB report on the basis of its
criticism of Negro colleges, some
are worried about what may
come next. "They're trying to
say that they're going to plan
the educational program for all
Negro colleges. We may get suck-
ed into anything," said Dr.
Vivian Henderson, president of
Clark College.

Halstead has claimed on several
occasions during the past years
that the differences between
socialism and communism are
slight. During a speech at the
University of Houston, in fact,
he stated that the Vietnam war
is "creating more Communists in
this country than I could in thirty
years of agitation."

We meet at very short intervals,

on a certain set of rules, called
etiquette and politeness, to make
this frequent meeting tolerable,
and that we need not come to

Build A "Bond" Between White and Black B"'TISH POET
Maryville College, April 17, 1968. The visit of
Mr. Julian Bond to the campus of Maryville College
has finally fulfilled the promise of the Convocation
Committee to bring in the best minds in the country
to speak to our student body.
Speaking on the subject "Where Black Ameri-
cans Find Themselves," Mr. Bond traced the re-
latively recent developments of the American Negro
from the decision in 1954 (Brown vs. Board of
Education, Topeka), through the period of the
struggle for political freedom, and up to the present
day. However, when he had brought us through all
I he trials of the past he, and implicitly many in the
audience, found themselves in a position rather lack-
ing in sufficiently directive words. In other words,
where is one to go from Here. When one is forced
to recognize that after the right to eat, the right to
an education, and the right to vote have been
secured, and yet free America remains wallowing in
its racism as deep as before; where is one to turn?
Mr. Bond did not specifically tell us. It made it
much easier for us that way. He would not, due to
his own conscience, advocate violence. But for the
same reason he could not condemn those who do.
He implied a message to us all which might be
summed up in the words of another important man
speaking in a State of the Union message in Janu-
ary, 1968, only this time it seemed a bit more
sincere — "Violence will not bring progress."
Mr. Bond rejected the typical interpretation of
violence being something which the Negroes alone
employ. He spoke of the violence of the status quo
and in so doing sighted infant mortality rates in
the United States and the proportional percentage
of black soldiers vs. the relative percentage of white
soldiers serving in Vietnam.
The war in Southeast Asia presented an ever-so-
emphatic example of the domestic violence of the
status quo (i.e. of us all), as Mr. Bond spoke in

the Gunnar Myrdal tradition (see An International
Economy) and carried the comparison of the
American Negro and the underdeveloped peasant
to its logical conclusion. On one hand our poverty
program — on the other our pacification program.
On one hand our local police — on the other "our"
local militia. On one hand our riot control — on
the other our bombs. We must ask ourselves —
what do the next hands hold for non-whites, and
then . . . for whites?
Mr. Bond wanted to stand up staunchly for non-
violence, but could not, possibly lacking faith in his
own beliefs. He told us, "There will be no peace
until there is justice, and then there will be order
. . . If our (black's) actions result in repressions on
your (white's) part — then so be it."
EDITORS LEAVE PAPER
GAINSVILLE, Fla. (CPS) —
Five of the top editors on the stu-
dent newspaper staff at the Uni-
versity of Florida have resigned
in support of a board of publica-
tions decision to censor an edi-
torial written by the chief editor.
The editorial, written for the
Florida Alligator by editor Steve
Hull, strongly criticized the
Florida administration for its
tactics in seeking to deny tenure
to controversial professor Dr.
Marshall B. Jones. Commenting
on a public hearing before a
faculty committee studying the
Jones case, the editorial charged
the administration with "smear
tactics" and "cruel and shocking
treatment" of Dr. Jones.
The administration is attempt-
ing to deny tenure to Jones be-
cause of a sj>eech he made ad-
vocating rebellion as the only
means available to most people
seeking social change, and on the
basis of his participation in
numerous civil rights demonstra-
tions.
The editorial criticizing the
administration was censored by
the Alligator's faculty adviser,
and Hull called an emergency
meeting of the board of publica-
tions. The board, however, back-
ed the adviser's decision, and in-
structed Hull to revise the editor-
ial.
After Hull rewrote the editor-
ial, five of his top editors told
him they would quit if he pub-
lished it. "I told them I thought
I was right and that I intended
to run the editorial," Hull said.
"They walked out, anTJ had to
put out the paper by myself."
Hull said he had agreed to sign
his name to the editorial — a
policy not generally followed —
but this did not seem to make
any difference to the five editors.
After the editors quit, the re-
vised editorial also was censored
by the board of publications.
Hull left white space on the edi-
torial page, with the exception
of the words, "Censored . . . For
the Second Straight Day." Hull
issued a plea for students interest-
ed in preserving a free press to
apply for the Alligator staff. He
said 80 students applied the next
day.
At a third meeting, the board
of publications decided to let Hull
publish the revised editorial be-
cause board regulations say an
editorial can be censored before
publication only if it is illegal, ob-
scene, or libelous. The board
agreed the editorial did not meet
any of the three conditions.
The five editors who resigned
appeared before the board and
charged Hull with being egotisti-
cal and said he endorsed a candi-
date in the student government
elections after saying he would
remain impartial. The five also
said Hull made a '^ridiculous
proposal that students should be
placed on the faculty senate."
The editors who resigned were
the managing editor, executive
editor, news editor, sports editor,
and the assistant news editor.
Hull said none of the five had
attended the meeting about which
he was commenting in the edi-
torial.
Meeting Held
MARYVILLE, TENNESSEE
APRIL 19, 1968. A group of
sixteen people from Maryville
College and the Negro community
met Friday, April 19, 1968 in an
attempt to re-establish communi-
cation between the college and
the Negro community. Close com-
munication between these two
groups had been maintained up
until four years ago through an
inter-racial prayer group, and it
was felt that friendship and co-
operation should be re-activated.
Various ways of broadening co-
operation and fellowship between
the two communities were dis-
cussed. The group decided to
meet again on Friday, April 26th
to continue the discussion and to
invite other interested people to
join them.
Spender Speaks
Dr. Stephen Spender, the distinguished British poet, literary
critic and co-editor of the famous review "Encounter," gave a public
lecture at Maryville College Convocation this morning, at 9:50 a.m.
in Wilson Chapel.
Dr. Spender just recently finished giving a series of lectures
at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. During 1965
and 1966 he was Consultant in Poetry in English at the Library of
Congress. This past year he was a Research Fellow at Wesleyan
University in Middletown, Conn, and lectured on the subject of
British and American poetry at Northwestern University in Evanston,
III.
Since 1947, when he taught for
a year at Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege, Dr. Spender has frequently
visited the United States. He was
Ellison Professor at the Uni-
versity of California in 1959. In
1962 he gave three public lec-
tures at the Library of Congress
on the Modern Imagination.
During the winter of 1963 he was
visiting lecturer in a course in
Modem Poetry at Northwestern
University.
In 1962 he was made Com-
mander of the British Empire,
in the Honours' List on the
Queen's birthday. He holds an
honorary doctor of literature de-
gree from the University of Mont-
pelier. Dr. Spender was educated
at University College School,
London, and Universit)'^ College,
Oxford. He is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa. While at Oxford,
he became friends with W. H.
Auden, who was also an under-
graduate at that time. Later

"But are there not many fascists in your country?"
"There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find
it out when the time comes."
Ernest Hemingway
For Whom The Bell Tolls
The United States has never been forced to deal with a major
threat of facism. Our democracy has remained moderate through
many periods of external conflict, maintaining a balance between
liberal and conservative forces and with standing pressures toward
totalitarianism. The current internal disruption of our nation, how-
ever, threatens to destroy the political equilibrium and allow the
pendulum to swing far to the right. Formerly the tendency toward
fascism came from such lunatic fringe elements as the Ku Klux Klan
or the John Birch Society. These bumbling groups of frightened
children cloaked their neuroses in super-patriotism, but ruined any
chance for effectiveness through the virulence of their hatred.
A far more serious problem is posed by the growing reaction
of the "moderate" groups within the country to the riots in our
cities. The call for more stringent measures by the police to curb
lawlessness borders upon a call for a subtly-instituted police state.
Justice is being sacrificed in favor of order. The law is not equal to
justice, but is merely one means of obtaining it; yet more and more
"decent" people are equating the two. Mayor Daly of Chicago has
ordered his chief of police to have his men shoot to kill suspected
arsonists on sight. The fact that this violates the accused's right to
a trial seems to have eluded Mr. Daly's keen political mind. He
faces the spector of a blazing Chicago set afire by hundreds of
black Mrs. O'Learys and he reacts with a heavy-handed attempt to
kjeep order at all costs.
This grasping for the simplistic solution and ignoring of the
causal conditions is unfortunately a common reaction to our urban
crisis. Governor Ellington's over-committment of the National Guard
after Dr. King's assassination indicates this problem is not confined
to the big Northern cities. Every person has within him a drive for
security and he becomes frightened when this drive is thwarted, so
the fear growing out of anticipation of another long, hot summer is
fertile ground for insipid fascist thought. In a time of crisis most
men will seek order at the expense of civil rights — but these rig'hts,
once abandoned, are extremely difficult to recover. The military
establishment is founded upon the twin principles of obedience and
docility, both comforting goals in chaos, and it is this military
mentality which currently threatens to make fascism a popular
answer to the present difficulty.
It is common to attribute urban riots to some type of conspiracy.
In fact there is a conspiracy behind the riots — but it is a conspiracy,
not of communists, but a conspiracy of silence of the whites when
confronted with injustice to the blacks. This conspiracy now threatens
to be broken in a tragic way. The moderates are at last crying out,
but it is order, not justice, for which they cry. The problems which
give rise to the frustration which leads to rioting will not be solved
by bullets. A bullet cannot be recalled — it cannot be reasoned with
— it cannot heal, only wound, and it is the heart of America at
which it is directed. We must be ever vigilant against the temptation
to allow the police or military to solve problems of a social or political
nature. The "cop mentality" is a very real phenomenon.
A fascist take-over here?. Ridiculous. But that's what they said
in Germany, and Greece — the birthplace of democracy.

Why do men fight —
'Til their faces are bloody

'Til their homes are destroyed?
'Til their children are maimed?
After every vain hope has been
lost, crushed, or buried.
From where do they draw
that last breath of courage?
To flee —
From that death stench hot on
their trails —
The dogs, the fire, machine guns,
barbed wire!
Ahhhhhh, the peace.
The peace of little wooden

In the shadow of an ugly

What peace is this — found in

Perhaps there is but one peace —
Peace of mind
Peace of spirit

. . . MEETS BLACK
Burning, looting, shooting — Who said that violence was not
as American as cherry pie? From Saigon to Newark to Washington,
D. C, ferocity tears at the basic premises of our most cherished
documents (at least I have heard that Americans value the Con-
stitution, The Bill of Rights, etc). I often wonder when we as
a nation are going to abide by the social norms that we created?
I am asking the same question that many other concerned persons
are asking: "Where do we go from here?"
When I look back upon the occurrences of the past few weeks,
the only thing that 1 can conclude is that I am thankful thai J.F.K.'s
assassin was not a black man. America is so close to a major racial
confrontation that to deny this fact could be likened to denying that
George Wallace is racist. Just as the situation is developing in Middle
Eastern countries, American cities are engaging in an arms race.
Everyone already knows what the outcome of such a confrontation
in America would be — but why should a nation that can afford to
spend over one million dollars a day in a foreign country for
militaristic purposes have to even consider a class war, racial war
(call it what you like) at home when it possesses the wealth and
other resources necessary for eliminating the underlying roots to this
problem? The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders
stated the situation this way : "this nation will deserve neither safety
nor progress unless it can demonstrate the wisdom and the will to
undertake decisive action against the root causes of racial disorder."
The "root causes" is white racism and apathy. It is a harsh judge-
ment, but true.
Though job opportunities are probably the master key for
solving the inadequacies that exist in the black community, we cannot
overlook the role that education has to play. It is indisper^able that
opportunities for interaction between the races be expanded. Integra-
tion as an educational strategy then, is both essential and imperative
to the future of the American society. Because of the ghetto's organi-
zation many children will not, within their school careers, attend
integrated schools unless the defacto segregated institution (such as
Maryville) reaches out to these people. Education could be used to
combat both black racism and white prejudicness. Interaction of the
races through education seems to be a pK>ssibility within our im-
mediate grasp. It seems rather trivial, then, for black students at
Knoxville College to sit angrily on their Presbyterian supported
campus and talk about what needs to be done; while white students
at Maryville sit apathetically on their Presbyterian supported campus
and say similar things. A dialogue seems necessary and essential
in this area. And, everyone knows that black students have given
up on the idea of trying to prove anything to that segment of white
America that is apathetic. That is, everyone except five black stu-
dents here at Maryville who catch Hell nine months out of the year
attempting to show somebody?? that integration and interaction of
the races have possibilities. This situation limits "We Five's" power
and influence; be that power and influence white or black.
The course taken by America (and particularly Maryville's
America) will be determined by the priority placed on the situation.
Maryville possesses a genuine interest in solving the inadequacies in
our society, but let's hope that Maryville doesn't play what is called
the vicious circle in Congress. Congress considers the problem to be
a local one and should be handled by local mayors and police. Does
Maryville consider interaction and integration a local problem to
be solved by the particular locale in question?
Meanwhile the vicious summer approaches again.

Faculty Forum
In my opinion the race issue presents the most serious challenge
to democracy facing us today. For it is not a problem of us versus
them, or it, as in the case of "creeping Communism," or leaping
technology, but a case of us versus ourselves: a struggle to regain
the faith and vision which founded this country and which are badly
needed to keep it going as a democratic institution. Freedom in
any meaningful sense is not possible without acceptance of the idea
that "all men are created equal" with respect to rights. But if the
strength of such a statement is judged by the actions of people who
supposedly accept this principle and would die for it, then it is
obvious that for the most part, the principle has no practical
significance. If this principle were accepted, for example, then
integration wouldn't even need to be discussed; we would no more
question the right of a negro to receive public education on par
with that we have obtained, or the right to buy any home he could
afford, than we would the right of an English immigrant to the
same opportunities. To turn the argument around, continued segrega-
tion and discrimination represents the continuing and increasing
failure of democracy.
The time to meet the challenge is now. Will Maryville College
play any part in trying to solve the problem of racial injustice, or
shall we concentrate only on continuing to build a good curriculum
for middle-class white students? It is true enough that there may be
little we can do about the problems fading the majority of negroes
which need immediate solutions, such as more and better jobs,
development of black racial pride, better housing, continued voter
registration, and better education at all levels. The college does have
some opportunities to show leadership in the education area, either
through extensiive summer programs, such as the Upward Bound
program, through long range tutoring programs, or through campus
programs operating during the normal school year. However, it
seems reasonable to assume that such programs, important though
they might be, would not involve the college directly in breaking
down barriers to an integrated society.

DRAFT PROPOSALS
WASHINGTON (CPS) — All
three of the Democratic candi-
dates for President favor some
form of random selection as a
substitute for the present draft
system, but all three have slightly
different proposals.
Republican candidate Richard
Nixon favors abolition of the
draft and institution of a volun-
teer army after the war in Viet-
nam.
These positions were set forth
in response to a National Student
Association query of the four
leading candidates on four major
issues of special interest to stu-
dents— the draft, lowering the
voting age, higher education, and
the role of youth in society. NSA
also asked New York Governor
Nelson Rockefeller for statements
on the issues but they were told
that he is not a candidate and
that position statements were not
available.
On the draft. Vice President
Hubert Humphrey favors adop-
tion of the Fair and Impartial
Random (FAIR) system pro-
posed by President Johnson last
year but rejected by Congress. It
would include a lottery and draft-
ing of the youngest first.
New York Senator Robert
Kennedy wants a study of various
proposals for a random system,
drafting the youngest first, and
experimentation with a system of
alternative service. He also called
for rescinding of provision of the
1967 Selective Service Act which
contradicted an earlier Supreme
Court decision on conscientious
(Objection. The new law requires
that a conscientious objector
show that he is opposed to wars
because of his religious training.
Kennedy said a change would
"protect people whose conscienti-
ous objection is not based on
traditional religious grounds."
Minnesota Senator Eugene Mc-
Carthy favors elimination of de-
ferments, permitting concientious
objection to particular wars, per-
mitting conscientious objection
"on rational as well as reHgious
grounds," and allowing a person
appealing a classification to have
personal appearances at all levels,
instead of just the local board
as at present. McCarthy also op-
posed the present system of
autonomous local boards and
Selective Service Director Lewis
Hershey's memorandum of Oc-
tober, 1967, which recommended
that anti-war and anti-draft pro-
testers be reclassified and induct-
ed as soon as possible.
All four candidates favored
lowering the voting to 18 and
said youth was important in deal-
ing with American problems.
Freshman
Notice
When the present policy of
voluntary class attendance for
upperclassmen was adopted last
spring, it was with the hope that
it might eventually be extended
to include all students. The
Faculty Committee on Att^idance
and the Executive Council have
now evaluated the success of this
policy and have decided to make
it applicable to freshmen as well
as upperclassmen and to be ef-
fective immediately. Each student
is now responsible to the faculty
member concerned for his class
attendance and his participation.
Specific requirements for each
course will be determined by the
instructor and made known to
the class.
A human intimacy — free from
the earth, but blessing the earth.

Spock
BOSTON (CPS) — A Federal
judge has ruled that arguments
relating to the illegality of the
Vietnam war cannot be used in
defense of the five men indicted
for counseUng draft resistance.
Judge Francis J. W. Ford
made his ruling after he heard
arguments from Justice Depart-
ment attorneys and attorneys for
the five, Pediatrician Dr. Ben-
jamin Spock, Yale University
Chaplain Rev. William Sloane
Coffin, author Mitchell Good-
man, former White House ad-
visor Marcus Basking, and Har-
vard graduate student Michael
Ferher.
No date has as yet been set
for the trial of the five, who are
charged with violating provisions
of the Selective Service Act which
make it illegal to counsel others
to resist the draft.
Lawyers for the five are ex-
pected to base their defense
around two principle points —
First Amendment guarantees of
freedom of speech and the
argument that the draft is illegal
under the 14th Amendment,
which prohibits involuntary ser-
vitude.
The preliminary hearing Wed-
nesday resulted in new mani-
festations of support for the five,
although there were no demons-
trations at the hearing itself. A
group which has been circulating
a petition in their support an-
nounced that it had 22,700 signa-
tures on the petition. Signers in-
clude the late Dr. Martin Luther
King.
A three-page ad in the April
15 New York Times, signed by
9,300 elementary, secondary, and
college teachers, also supported
the five.

4 - The Highland Echo, May 3, 1968
by Ron Jamison
As this particular issue of the Echo is dedicated to a certain
situation on our own campus, this column on fine arts will be
logically dedicated to the stale of the fine arts at MC.
In the Fine Arts Department itself, MC has one of the potentially
great faculties and student groups on campus. When this collection
gets the urge, they can do amazing things. Like produce a well done
and quite moving drama on a very small budget {A View from the
Bridge). Possibly all the segments of the department, music, drama,
visual arts, could get together and produce something larger —
a musical, or perhaps an opera. ( It might be noted here that several
students, under the direction of Karen Roewade, are preparing an
operatic excerpt for public presentation later this spring.) The
potential is there now, but there is an element within the department
just selfish enough and quite strong enough to put the veto to any
such undertaking. And now, because of that same element, the MC
Fine Arts Department is going to lose some of the best young talent
it has. But, I suppose it doesn't really matter, because the choir, bless
its heart, will always exist, and that, according to some people, is
all the fine arts MC needs.
As for the rest of the campus,
I tend to think the fine arts are
being neglected. Hidden away in
the dark corners of Dorms Mil,
Lloyd, etc., people, students
(maybe even you know some)
are writing, singing, painting and
playing without any sort of
public recognition. I will not con-
tend that all of these aesthetic re-
cluses are great talents, not quite
that, but the talent does exist
and if given the proper chance
it could make itself known.
Where will these people get
thejr recognition? For those who
write, first I would suggest that
this newspaper make more room
for worthwhile original creative
writing. Secondly since the Echo
doesn't really have room to print
everything that might be sub-
mitted, I suggest that either the
Echo staff or the English Depart-
ment sponsor a campus wide
writing contest and put the best
entries in a special booklet-type
publication. As for those in other
arts, there are student recitals,
art shows, and other things con-
nected with the F.A. Department.
There should be more of these,
and if possible some of them
independent of the department.
Lastly, there is the Lantern.
The Lantern is one of the most
valuable but most highly neglect-
ed assets on the MC Camipus.
That little hole in the library
wall could be used for a multi-
tude of artful happenings, if
someone in UCCF would get on
the ball. Or if the student body
would decide that it might make
good use of it, instead of con-
demning it as a hippie hangout.
There have been some fine pro-
grams in the Lantern this year
— folk music, dramatic readings,
discussions — but they have been
too few and all too far between.
And lately, due to someone's own
personal hangup, the Lantern has
simply wasted away, not being
open at all.
The improvement of the arts at
MC requires that faculty and
administration resolve some of
their differences, that students
are given the chance to make
wider use of their creative abili-
ties anid that the students take
advantage of these creative op-
portunities.
So, friends, let's move it. Life
is nothing, less than nothing,
without the arts.

Baseball
in
Brief
The Scots' baseball team has
had a good start this year. With
their record now seven wins, six
loses and one tie, they have a
good foundation on which they
can build a winning season.
High scoring has been the
highlight of the past few games.
Most recently the Scots defeated
Calvary College in a double
header, winning the first game
17-0 and the second 13-3, both
in five innings.
Pitching has been pretty good
this year, and has been helped a
lot by a strong outfield and a
well coordinated infield. The
team works well together, which
is a sign of a strong ball team.
There are ten scheduled games
left on the roster, with a possible
two make-up games. Seven of
these games are scheduled to be
played on the Scots' home field.
Support has been good, but there
is plenty more room out there
for more. The team wants your
support.
Go get 'em Scots!
TENNIS
MC netters have started off
the season thus far with a record
of 4-5. The team has been helped
gready by Sam Ferguson, a Soph,
transfer from UT. Sam thus far
has a record of 7-2, the best won-
lost record on the squad.
The positions on the team are
Parks No. 1, Ferguson No. 2,
Marshal No. 3, Sankner No. 4,
Abel No. 5, and Blackwood No.
6. In doubles Parks and Mar^al
pair off, Ferguson and Abel and
Sankner and Blackwood.
Of the four wins that the net-
ters have two of the wins have
been impressive 9-0 defeats. The
Scots have had three home games
this week, the final ones of the
season.
The Highland Echo has recent-
ly received information about
working and studying in Europe
this summer. These include:
1. Mexican Study Seminar.
June 15-July 14, offered by Tus-
culum College,
2. Courses offered in Europe
by the American Language and
Educational Center of Michigan
State University, including
Political Science offered at
London, Lausanne, and Florence,
German at Cologne
French at Paris
Spanish at Madrid,
3. A five week summer ses-
sion in Denmark, and an eight
week tour of Northern and
Eastern Europe, offered by the
International College in Copen-
hagen.

The road to self-knowledge does not pass through faith. But
only through the self-knowledge we gain by pursuing the fleeting
light in the depth of our being do we reach the point where we can
grasp what faith is. How many have been driven into outer darkness
by empty talk about faith as something to be rationally compre-
hended, something "true."

Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as
youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost. One may almost
doubt if the wisest man has learned anything of absolute value
by living. Practically, the old have no very impK)rtant advice to give
the young, their own experience has been so partial, and their lives
have been such miserable failures . . .

NEW "COMMUNITT' FOR MC
GLASSE COMMENCEMENT
SPEAKER
For my money, Maryville Col-
lege has just taken a huge leap
into the front ranks of American
colleges. The recent action of the
Executive Council, taken after
much hard thinking about Mary-
ville's future, has eliminated most
of the things which have made
it impossible for many to recom-
mend MC enthusiastically to
really good students.
The most significant of all, for
the long run, was the approval of
an all college council in which
all members of the community
have an elected voice in the real
campus government. No longer
can we complain that we do not
feel a respect for some regula-
tions because we did not establish
them.
The responsibility of the stu-
dent body obviously is expanded.
We must be prepared to know
what is really going on if we are
to make any responsible de-
cisions. That is not as simple as
it sounds.
Next year will be vital. The
cars and the no hours demand
planning and (ugh) discipline.
If we decide to flunk out, it will
be easier, and more fun.
This could go on forever.
Maryville has decided to really
try to be the best. She will need
a lot of help, but the attitude
is here. Everybody will need
everybody else's help.
This has been an interesting
year for student government. We
have succeeded in generating en-
ough help to do things which
some of you did not think were
possible.
Doug (who has had his free-
dom of the press taken away by
one of the more enlightened of
our students) wanted to say he
has seen all of you in ohapel as
much as he wants to. So have I.
We've enjoyed trying to help.
Thank you for your patience and
support.
— Doug Gamble

MC Joins NSA
Ihe student governmeni ot
Maryville College has recently
become affiliated with NSA, the
National Student Association,
which is a nation-wide con-
federation of student govern-
ments.
NSA operates on four pre-
mises: student rights, student wel-
fare, student power, and student
involvement. Included in stu-
dent rights are free access, free
speech, and guarantees of due
process. Regarding student wel-
fare, NSA attempts to lower costs
for students in ". . . economic
markets outside of the campus."
Student power is defined as the
importance of the role students
have in the decision-making pro-
cesses of their schools. Student
involvement includes student re-
sponsibility to become aware of
and involved in politicial activi-
ties. While NSA does not endorse
candidates, it does provide a
forum for debate on political
questions and it attempts to
educate students politically by
campus programs.
A National Student Congress
meets for two weeks each sum-
mer, to make policy, discuss pro-
gramming, and elect officers for
the coming year.
Dr. Glasse
Professor Glasse previously
taught at Warren Wilson College,
Swamianoa, N. C, and Tusculum
College, Greene ville, Tenn. From
1953-56 he was Assistant Direc-
tor of Field Work and Director
of Professional Studies at Yale
Divinity School. Since 1956 he
has been on the faculty of
Vanderbilt University.
He is President of the Associa-
tion of Seminary Professors in
the Practical Fields, a member
of the Association of American
University Professors, and an
Associate of the Ministry Studies
Board.
Dr. Glasse is a contributing
editor of "Presbyterian Outlook,"
author of the book, "Profession:
Minister," and contributes re-
gularly to religious and profes-
sional publications.
Grants for MC
A gift of $250,000 has been
made to Maryville College by
former Professor Edmund Wayne
Davis in the name of his late wife
Ella and himself, President
Joseph J. Copeland announced
today.
The gift, made to the 150
fund, will help underwrite the
announced $3,000,000 needed
for construction of a new library,
health and physical education
building, renovation of Thaw
Hall for a student center, and
upgraded faculty salaries and
student scholarships.
Professor Davis retired in 1950
from the Maryville College
faculty after teaching here for
34 years. He resides now in
Asbury Acres, the Methodist
Home for the Retired. At 92
years of age. Professor Davis is
the oldest living faculty member
of Maryville College. He is alert
and active and attends campus
meetings often.
While at Maryville College,
Professor Davis taught Gre^ and
Latin and was Secretary of the
Faculty.
My Aim in Life is H«ppinMt
On Thursday, May 23, during the chapel period, the Special
Committee on Community Life and Structure made its first report
to the entire community. President Copeland, who presided, reviewed
the charge to the Committee and expressed appreciation to those
who had laid the groundwork for the report. Three other members
of the Committee dealt specifically with three major recommenda-
tions acted upon by the Executive Council on May 22. The re-
commendations called for changes in community government, in
the chapel-convocation program, and in social regulations.
Characterizing the spirit of the report were such phrases as
"responsibility accompanied by accountability," "mutual concern
for the members of the community," and "wider involvement in its
total, integrated life." Optimism regarding Maryville's potential was
dearly evident in these projections for the kind of involvement that
few colleges have attempted and none, as far as can be determined,
has fully achieved.
Only a Beginning
Although the report was described as only a beginning, it re-
presented the culmination of a period of intensive work by ap-
proximately fifty people. Students, faculty, administration, and the
Board of Directors were all represented. The Special Committee,
appointed at the request of the Board, had been asked to study every
phase of community life and structure in view of the stated purpose
of the College and to make recommendations for changes that
would enhance the achievement of the purpose.
Four subcommittees were assigned to the areas of religion,
standards, social-physical-recreational life, and special concerns.
From reports submitted by the subcommittees and from its own
study and deliberations, the Special Committee formulated the re-
cominendations that were acted upon by the Exceutive Council in
a called meeting on May 22.
All College Council
Gary Meyer, member of the Special Committee, reported ap-
proval by the Executive Council of the concept of an All College
Council to be composed of students, faculty, and administrative
officers. Its function will be to act upon matters relating to the life
of the entire community and to seek to interpret and enhance the
overall purpose of the College, under the purpose and objectives
established by the Board of Directors. Under the plan approved by
the Executive Council, the Special Committee has been empowered
to explore the details regarding the composition and function of
this Council. It will also recommend a plan for the structuring of
subcouncils and committees.
The major problem, Mr. Meyer pointed out, will be to establish
a practical balance in representation between the continuing member-
ship and the transient membership of the community, and to attempt
to ensure representation of those who will have the chief respon-
sibility for implementing the decisions.
Faculty PafHcipation Crucial
Dr. Young also emphasized
that faculty attendance would be
crucial to the success of this pro-
gram, adding: "If we do not
participate as fully as the stu-
dents, we are witnessing to the
fact that the program is not vital
and not important to our life to-
gether as a college ... It seems
to me that there is real cause to
be excited bv this concept of

The Alcoa Foundation has
made two grants of $3,000 each
to Maryville College, Dr. Joseph
J. Copeland, President of the
College, announced today.
The first grant is for unre-
stricted purposes and represents
a $600 increase over last year's
gift.
The second grant is restricted
for scholarship purposes and will
continue for another year a pro-
gram of recognizing an outstand-
ing freshman, sophomore, and
junior at the College. Each
scholarship is worth $750 and
is to be awarded to one of the
top five students in each class.
The students must display scho-
larly achievement in the class-
room, leadership in extra-cur-
ricular activties, and responsible
campus citizenship.
Students currently receiving
the award are Steve Homing,
Indianapolis, Ind. sophomore;
James Reynolds, Wallingford, Pa.
junior; and Scribner Messenger,
Bartlesville, Okla. senior.
The recipients for the 1968-69
award will be selected during
the summer and notified by the
Scholarship Committee.
The balance of the grant, $750
will be used by the College for
three $250 unrestricted grants.
Roy Fisher, Manager of Al-
coa's Tennessee Operations, pre-
sented the checks to Dr. Cope-
land, Maryville College President.
Mr. Fisher said, "Our company
and the Alcoa Foundation has a
very high regard for the im-
portant work being done at Mary-
ville College, and we are very
happy to have a part in helping
to support it."
In addition to this $6,000, the
College will share in a grant of
$1,600 which Mr. Fisher also
presented to Dr. Copeland as the
representative of the Affiliated
Independent Colleges of Tennes-
see. Under this program, eleven
private schools receive assistance
from business and industry in
Tennessee.
Page 2 - The Highland Echo, May 31, 1968
"Issue: EXIP' has finally arrived for this school year, and once
more the Editor finds himself sitting down to the typewriter with
the psychedelic-like flashes of literally hundreds of ideas, ideals,
wiishes, frustrations, fears, and anxieties of this year, the future, the
past, Maryville College, friends, enemies, and readers. In this state
of affairs, I feel that I must accomplish, or attempt to accomplish,
the things which still weigh on my mind after some very busy terms
as an editor and student at MC. The feeling caused by realizing
that another paper (or another chance) is non-existent is one of
impotency. Therefore, some comments, important situations, I hope.
First, the face-lifted Maryville of Fall, 1967, has done another
amazing thing. The unified, inter-related ideal of this year's new
curriculum has been allowed to spread in one short year (and those
very familiar with MC know how short a year can be in attempting
change) to every facet of the college community. The drastic mea-
sures as announced last week (see page one) are certain to place
Maryville in the realm which they have aspired to for who knows
how long. The all-college council promises to co-ordinate the con-
tinuity which has been a long-yearned for thing in MC life. The
subordinate ideas in addition to this council also place us closer to
the freedom which everyone at Maryville has been talking about
for so long.
It will be quite a spectacle to observe the ramifications which
these changes are sure to ignite. As the Editor of a college publica-
tion which has hoped to stir interest in some of the most pressing
problems of the times both at MC and in the world, I will be interest-
ed to watch the reaction as each person in the community (not just
the student or just the professor or just the dean) undergoes the
arduous task of re-defining his position in the MC community.
On one hand the scene would appear to be hopeful. Without
any other level of inference, I thank gratefully the members of the
community whose images of MC have been seriously altered and who
have accepted what has been called the "most drastic change in 50
years" with understanding and optimism.
On the other hand, however, I turn a suspicious eye to the
element which will not show the honesty, integrity, or responsibility
that the community emphasis will demand. First the member needs
to analyze carefully the situation in which he finds himself, and
how he must respond if he remains a part of Maryville College. My
experience with the newspaper has made me extremely aware of the
necessity for this response. At the beginning of my editorship I had
to decide that I could not and would not edit what would amount to
a newsletter, catering to sheer reporting of last weekend's hike
which would bring tears of reminiscence to the thirteen people who
hiked.
For this decision I have been severely criticized. The Echo has
not covered the news, we hear. What is there then about civil rights,
Vietnam, the draft, and national politics which do not concern every
single member of the college community? Is Maryville really just
a security from the big, bad, real world out there? I think not.
Maryville must and will face what is going on outside Circle Drive.
The key is communication — the very word which I have used to
define the Echo in preference to "news."
It is in this communication that the responsibility is involved.
My suspicion is not any better supported than by the rumors that
circulated several weeks ago, accusing the Echo of with-holding
articles which did not express the views of the editor and the ad-
visor. These accusations were ludicruous. The fact that the supposed
letter writers would never confront me personally assures, I believe,
the reliability of the rumors. This type of non-communication is the
plague of an institution dedicated to the community-idea like Mary-
ville College.
Let us then look at the situation again. Some very perceptive
people have created a structure which emphasizes each person's place
in the community. Each person must bear the responsibility of his
place in that community. E^oh person in the status of academic must
let his personal integrity assure his place in this college. For those
who are worried about pride in Maryville: this is what will produce
real pride for the members of an ACADEMIC INSTITUTION.
What greater pride can one possess than that which he receives from
something he has created himself? The responsibility is in each
person's hands. The individual's role can no longer be compromised.
Believe it or not, some of the "negative element" on campus
really do wish that they were going to be involved in "community
issues and values," Maryville College, Fall, 1968.

No, the title of this column
has had nothing to do with our
food. Miss Ware. Wrong, it is
not a word that is repulsive and
therefore fitting for my confus-
ing rebellion. I thank Jean-Paul
Sartre for the term. Through the
emotive poems that I have pre-
sented this year, I have tried to
illustrate what that terrible feel-
ing of nausea is. It is the absurd
gap between what we live and
our true realization of our
frightening existence. Some of
the poems have attempted to
bridge the gap. They will re-
turn next year . . .
It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.

As next year's editor of The Highland Echo I am making
a pledge along with my staff to make the paper an even better
paper. We will keep Graffiti, if you will. I will write less, if you,
the community (faculty, students, and staff) will write more. I will
do everything in my power to enforce dialogue. But you must do
your part.
We at Maryville found this year that we do not have the com-
munity that we thought we had. We now have the vehicle to provide
for that unique community and therefore the paper will be one of
the most vital organs of the community. It will be balanced. As this
year, we will print anything submitted (space permitting). But to
maintain dialogue more has to be submitted from the community.
Then we will truly have the best of student publications. My staff
and I will write, but most important we will organize what the
community has written. The news writes itself. We will move straight
ahead.

Reflections on Poor
Peoples' March
The Poor People's March in
Knoxville May 9, 1968. Five con-
cerned students, one professor,
one seminary student from
Maryville helped to host.
Hundreds of poor people,
many songs, timely speeches.
"... Lyndon, you think that you
have it tough with the many pro-
tests, well when I was president
I couldn't even drive down a
Texas road . . ."
". . . woke up this morning with
my mind set on freedom . . ."
A Memphis gang leader who
changed his gang from violent to
non-violence said . . .
". . . this Poor People's March
and non-violence is like penicil-
lin. We are harmless . . . but we
are powerful. If we don't cure
our country at least we will scare
the hell out of it . . ."
A nation as rich as ours needs
a dramatic march on its capitol
to realize that there are millions
in this country, black, white,
and red, that are hungry. This
country can do something about
it too. They are going to Wash-
ington to tell them so.
". . . some of those senators have
been there for thirty years, and
they told me, 'no don't come,
you can't come' . . . well they
have been there for thirty years,
it's time I went there for a
while . . ."
". . . sock soul, sock soul, sock
soul . . ."
WE SHALL OVERCOME
TO THE COMMUNITY:
This is Maryville on the verge.
Few will deny that 1968 has
been a year of evolution for the
Maryville community. Most of
us, I think, have sensed an ex-
perience of happening, have
achieved significant depth in un-
expected directions. Review just
once our calendars and see the
new patterns emerging. Bare sug-
gestions from last year have sent
out sturdy roots.
We cannot forget, though, a
drowsy atmosphere that has from
time to time sapped the energy
from new ideas, nor should wc
excuse our hobitual reluctance
to support ambition and bold
projects. We have not persisted.
Now, this summer, is the time
to make use of insight from
1968. We have a glimpse of ex-
citing possibility, and we are
fashioning expressions of our
plans. Let our vision mount a
swift vehicle.
For many of us, serious flaws
in academic, management, and
social structures have been acute
frustrations. At Maryville, we are
ultimately alone with confronta-
tions that are elsewhere glossed
over. What community we nur-
ture can encourage decision, but
cannot itself decide issues for us.
Next year our challenge will be
insistent: we will determine not
only our general direction, but
also our mode of transport. All
of us have a stake in the experi-
ment of this College, and we must
dig in or cop out. Leadership is
yet to be encouraged, but that
will come; the base of leader-
ship in societies, sports, scholar-
ship, worship, the arts, and in
expression is to be widened. Of
highest value at this College is
integrity, a sense of purpose
beyond the study major. Under-
stand your leaders and you under-
stand that the prime of Mary-
ville's output are philosophers of
varied disciplines.
Next year promises much. A
few more bugs in curriculum,
social planning, and methods of
confrontation will have been
driven out. Opportunity for
greater participation, for growth
and travel, is genuine. Those re-
turning with rare experience will
contribute much. That this news-
paper will have news to report is
probable. Channels will open up.
And growing with Maryville will
be tougher. Some dedicated
humans w^ork vigorously because
they think their College is unique.
Ask them why. Then answer
questions the college-bound put
to you. We have real work to do
now, and we should invite the
ambitious to help; it is real
people we appreciate on this
campus.
— Steven Homing
To our brethren,
Biologically in terms of both
physical and mental capabilities
no race or ethnic group is super-
ior to any other. We as white
men hold this statement to be
true, but we believe that the
white race, while neither bio-
logically superior nor inferior, is
TTwrally inferior. Acts in the dis-
tant and near past prove this to
be true. We feel that we as white
men have an obligation to raise
our race to a higher level of
morality.
Our attempt to raise white
morality is based on the concept
that violence can only be justi-
fied when all possible non-violent
means have been utilized with
fruitless results. This concept, it
will be noted, is not adhered to
by our racist "brethren," but
they pay tribute to the same prin-
ciple every July 4. We feel that
by following this concept in our
endeavour to raise the white man
to a more moral level we are
working not only for the benefit
of non-whites, but for the bene-
fits of the total white race.
White racism has in the past
and will in the future not only
morally degrade the white man,
but very possibly destroy him
physically. The white man does
not hold a majority in the world.
The non-white nations are not
only growing in number, but in
power. White racism in America
does not only endanger us
domestically, but hurts us abtoad
an increases anti-white American
resentment. The white racist
might fulfill his dream of
battling non-whites unilaterally in
the future. We wonder if he will
then realize his folly and acknow-
ledge his biological equality and
numerical inferiority. At such a
time we feel he will regret his
present low morality.
We write this letter not as
"nigger-lovers," but as lovers of
humanity. We hope that white
America and the white race will
realize the immoral and ruinous
position it has placed itself in.
If we fail to face this point we
may consider ourselves well on
the way to a world war, not be-
tween the "Commies" and "free-
dom-loving" Americans, but be-
tween whites and non-whites.

REMEMBRANCE
We walked through puddles of black water,
still as cold coffee . . . felt the thread-thin rain
blister on our faces and in our hair . . .
walked the midnight to still sleep and talked
of god and chance and future . . . those days
of undergraduate concern, my love, have riddled
deep into my drowsing will, have become
the me I talk about when I am all alone.
Listen. I hear night rain shake its air
and old November is cranking up to start.
This is our time. Remember? Always,
an earnest young girl in a tawny raincoat
is walking slowly toward me . . . her breath
is visible in the night, her loving palpable.
The lovely girl with thin drops of moisture
on her hairtips and eyes that sound happy
in the drizzle, brings back thoughts of god
and chance and time's cold cheating
and I hear you always speaking my single name
beneath the squeak of the rain's small wheels.

Students Found Conservative
In spite 01 a reputation for
vigorous protest, toppling govern-
ments, and confrontation politics,
students are a very conservative
group, DAEDALUS, the Journal
of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences, points out in
a special issue on "Students and
Politics." The winter issue is de-
voted to an analysis of student
groups all over the world. (Avail-
able in Library.)
Even in Latin America,
activists "are in a minority, often
very small," Seymour Martin
Lipset, author and professor of
government at Harvard Uni-
versity, writes in an introductory
essay. "In most countries the vast
majority of students are apoliti-
cal, and tend to endorse the
moderate or even the conserva-
tive parties."
Other observations in the
journal contradict stereotyped
ideas about students.
— ^Though students may pro-
voke political action, they seldom
bring it to fruition; the support
of other groups is mandatory if
any real change is to take place.
Those political parties which do
not repudiate student efforts are
most liable to benefit from them ;
many parties which once relied
heavily on student support, in-
cluding the British Labor Party
and official Communist parties,
now tend to ignore student views.
— Student activism varies sig-
nificantly according to discipline.
"Those disciplines that are
thought of as 'intellectual' — the
humanities and most of the social
sciences — are more activist and
leftist than those that are orient-
ed toward the professional or
scientific world," Lipset writes.
This relationship also varies,
however, from country to coun-
try : "Medicine has a leftist aura
in various Latin countries in the
Americas and Europe, but is
traditionally quite conservative
in most of northern Europe and
the Anglophonic world.
"Where economics is taught as
an extremely technical, mathe-
matically based subject, those
who concentrate in the field are
less radical than where it remains
concerned with qualitative and
historical institutional analysis
... In ever)^ discipline those who
think of themselves as intel-
lectuals rather than professionals
are more politically activist."
— University systems with de-
manding class and academic
schedules allow for less unrest
than those depending primarily
upon examinations. "The exami-
nation system used is a key
factors," Lipset states. In the
United States, too much extracur-
ricular activity often jeopardizes
academic work; in Latin Ameri-
ca, where examinations "are not
so important or may be post-
poned," students are free for
political action.
— Parents' political attitudes
show a "high correlation" with
the politics of their children and
are a determining factor.
Children of poorer families tend
to be less active politically be-
cause they are "strongly oriented
toward upward mobility . . . con-
centrated on careerist profes-
sional objectives," and need to
work as well as study. "Social
status seems more important than

Friday and Saturday nights and
to eleven p.m. on other nights.
If the mechanics can be worked
out satisfactorily, a card system
will be established for upper-
class women.
The card system will give soph-
omore women the freedom to
determine their own hours on
Friday and Saturday nights, and
junior and senior women on any
night, provided they are not on
academic or disciplinary proba-
tion and, if under 21, they have
parental consent. Miss Schussler
called attention to the added im-
portance under this system of the
student's taking seriously her
responsibility for signing in and
out.
Automobile Privilege Extended
The Executive Council also
approved, she reported, the use
of automobiles by sophomores,
juniors, and seniors, the classi-
fication to be determined by
academic standing. The privilege,
however, will not be extended
to those on either academic or
disciplinary probation or to those
holding a scholarship or grant
based upon need. Every student
who brings an automobile to the
campus must have parental con-
sent if he is under 21, must show
evidence of financial respon-
sibility, and must follow the re-
gulations for the registration and
use of automobiles as outlined
in the Student Handbook.
A New Role for Students
In the fall term the Special
Committee will present a more
detailed, plan to the Executive
Council for approval. Since such
a major change in structure will
involve changes in the Constitu-
tion and By-Laws, the plan will
then go to the Board of Directors
at the October meeting. If the
Board approves, details will be
perfected and the new system put
into effect as soon as possible.
The date which the Committee
recommends is the beginning of
the winter term 1969.
Addressing his fellow stu-
dents directly, Mr. Meyer re-
marked: "This means that the
role of the student on our cam-
pus is going to be changed . . .
We cannot overemphasize the
seriousness of such a move. Every
student must become involved
and accept this added respon-
sibility by becoming a part of
the Maryville Community. With
responsibility comes account-
ability."
"Community issues and Values"
Dr. David Young, faculty re-
presentative on the Special Com-
mittee, outlined the projection
for a program designed to im-
plement a major objective of the
College: to erase the dichotomy
between the intellectual and the
religious and to emphasize the
relationship between knowledge
and values. In place of the pre-
sent chapel-convocation, a pro-
gram to be called "Community
Issues and Values" will be in-
stituted in the fall of 1968. In
meetings on the average of once
a week it will focus on issues
and values in an effort to en-
courage the entire community to
engage in full and free discus-
sion.
Dr. Young described the pos-
sibilities as including different
approaches to worship; con-
frontation with political, social,
theological, and philosophical is-
sues; and opportunities for value
experiences with various art

NUDE PLATFORM
PALO ALTO, Calif. (CPS) —
"Nobody on campus considers
the student presidency seriously,"
says Mrs. Victoria Reich, "so
why not have a naked girl to
make some use of it."
Mrs. Reich is the naked girl —
38-22-36 — and she's running for
the student presidency of Stan-
ford University.
"My biggest support is in the
men's dormitories where I make
personal appearances," says the
blonde Palo Alto student whose
campaign posters — which show
her posing in the nude — are
rapidly becoming collector's
items.
She is also well supported by
patrons of San Francisco topless
clubs who know her by her pro-
fessional name, Vicki Drake.

Business for
Vietnam Peace
Possibly for the first time in
American History, businessmen
have formed a nationwide al-
liance to oppose a war in which
this country is heavily involved.
Associated with them as a
Military Advisory Committee
Committee are five retired mili-
tary officers of general and ad-
miral ranks.
The National Co-Chairmen of
Business Executives Move for
Vietnam Peace, as the group is
known, are Henry Niles, Board
Chairman of the Baltimore Life
Insurance Co., and Harold Wil-
lens, President of Los Angeles
based Factory Elquipment & Sup-
ply Corporation. Mr. Willens has
been travelling widely and giving
full time to promoting the group's
objectives.
His reasons are stated as fol-
lows: "I believe the 2,000 busi-
ness executives among us repre-
sent the vanguard of a new breed
of American businessman, and
it seems important to have young
people aware that we exist. This
new Enlightened Capitalist is able
to grasp the direct relationship
between world events, national
problems and his own personal
interests.
"He can understand that man
is not an insect on the flywheel
of history — man makes history.
And, that if he doesn't help make
it, there may not be much more
history in this age of ultimate
weapons. He knows, in other
words, that he'd better get in-
volved or else he may soon get
dissolved, literally as well as
figuratively, in economic terms.
"The Enlightened Capitalist is
a maverick (until others catch
up with his realistic understand-
ing of the new world around us)
who has the guts to do what
might seem unpopular or con-
troversial. For example, speak
out publicly against the mistaken,
suicidal Vietnam policy of escala-
tion as we've been doing since
the formation of our group.
"I am often questioned about
businessmen being for the war
because of profits. As the stock
market dramatically illustrates
these days, it's finally become
clear to the business community
that WAR SPELLS DOOM but
PEACE SPELLS BOOM.

MARYVILLE COLLEGE ENTERS 149tli YEAR
HERSHEY SEZ HI!
Washington (CPS)~The two gov-
ernment officials probably most
venerated by students, FBI Dir-
ector J, Edgar Hoover and Se-
lective Service Director Lewis
B, Hershey, recently issued their
"back -to -school" welcoming
broadsides to students and uni-
versities.
The messages are in the form
of letters warning the public, the
police and college administra-
tions of the dangers posed to
them by students and professors.
In the September issue of Law
Enforcement Bulletin, a maga-
zine sent by the FBI to police
departments and other law en-
forcement agencies, Hoover
wrote that "revolutionary ter-
rorists**~in the form of Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society
(SDS) and other New Left groups
— will endanger "not only the
academic community but out
peaceful and orderly society"
this fall.
Militant radical leaders, Hoover
warns, "plan tp launch a wide-
spread attack on educational in-
stitutions," and are relying on
campus activists to help them
"smash first the educational
structure, then our economic
system, and finally our Govern-
ment itself."
He called the New Left a "grow-
ing band of self-styled revolu-
tionaries" who have a "patho-
logical hatred for our way of
life and a determination to des-
troy it," and said they will be
using college campuses as a base
for activities designed to pro-
mote Communist concepts in this
country.
Hershey, in only slightly milder
words, addressed himself to col-
lege and university administra-
tors in the August edition of the
Selective Service house organ,
warning them of the "perils of
permissiveness* toward stu-
dents and faculty members who
dissent and "create chaos" on
campuses.
He blamed much of the campus
unrest on faculty members who
"prey on students** and encour-
age them to attack the actions of
government officials or help them
evade the draft, and said he
thought those administrators who
had "learned something last
year** would suppress such pro-
fessorial activity.
"I believe the silent citizens of
the United States and the Con-
gress are nearing the end of
their patience with such ac-
tivities," Hershey said. "I do
not think Congress will for long
provide funds to educational in-
stitutions to pay faculty mem-
bers who incite students to dis-
obey the Selective Service Law,
or tolerate as satisfactory those
who do.**

Carole C. Wahler, a sparkling new addition to the Psychology
Department. She is especially interested in English pottery
and porcelain, and she is in the process of remodeling her home
in Knoxville using her early American antique collection.
Research and experimentation kept Dr. Wahler busy as she
was earning her degrees at the University of Washington. She
taught for one year on a teaching assistant ship. The National

her teaching more toward class
discussion.
Dr. Wahler is the wife of a
University of Tennessee prof-
essor of psychology, whose main
interest and background is in
child psychology. Being in the
same field, the Wahler s have

University in Bloomington, ^Ill-
inois, Mr. Brunell received his
Masters Degree at the University
of Pennsylvania. He is impressed
with the curriculum change at
Maryville, stating, "It's the only
way to teach." He feels it
important to establish a dial-
ogue between student and teach-
er and asserts that the new curr-
iculum is fundamental to this
idea. Outside the classroom,
Mr. Brunell was a competitive
swimmer, and is currently in-
terested in journalism and class-
ical music.

EDITORIAL
This year's HIGHLAND ECHO staff is attempting to produce
the complete communications device on campus in the form of
a weekly paper. This newspaper will be operated by staff of
students, but it is the entire community's publication and should
be actively participated in by all interested . students and faculty
members. Divisions of the paper are representative of the
various aspects of participation. For instance, the news and
feature pages include basically what's happening on our campus
and in other colleges throughout the world; the editoral page is
reserved for the actual newspaper staff; and the Letters to the
Editor provide a sounding block for the entire college community.
Space permitting, we will print any signed articles submitted
to the ECHO, and we reserve the right to edit any copy before
printing.
We syicerely hope this newspaper achieves our aspirations as
a thorough and comprehensive instrument of communication
on the Maryville College campus. We also promise to minimize
dry editorals such as thisl

RESOLUTION
Recognizing the far-reaching
significance of concepts develop-
ed and approved during the spring
of 1968 by the Special Investi-
gation Committees, die Class of
1971 urges immediate action by
the Co-ordinating Committee on
the implementation of these pro-

lowing steps as a beginning for
this intricate process:
1, Immediate convening of the
Co-ordinating Committee.
2. An extensive explanation to
the student body by the
members of the Co-ordin-
ating Committee on the de-
tails necessary for the
practical application of the
approved concepts.
The opportunity to convert ex-
citing theory into dynamic real-

sued with intelligent, decisive
action.

EDITORIAL
As the editor of diis newspaper I have the opportunity to see
some of the issues that are going to face our campus and our
country and our world. Our world leaders continue to degrade
and smear human lives on burnt soil for the sake of power and
pride. If the widely spread violent rhetoric seeks violent action
as an only alternative to silence our country will be in the grips
of open rebellion in our major and not so major cities by 1972.
Our campus leaders have inherited a grand conception and sche-
matic sketch of a progressive community organization that has
yet to be completed by a promised effective date in October.
Many of us soon will have to decide what we as humans and
Americans are going to do about the country's third most costly
war (that means human lives, baby): Vietnam. We all, being
twenty -one in age or not, must face a major political election
where no alternatives appear. Many are faced with the possi-
'bility of not voting at all. This can happen in the world's sound-
est democracy? The majority of the people diat created the
proposed community council concept are gone this year and the
people that remain to make the promises come true are faced
with inexperience. A great deal must be learned and done. There
is little time to do it in.
It appears to this editor that our primary action for the next

This is the first in what I hope will be a regular series of
articles for the ECHO. The title "recognitions" is signi#cant
to me because that is what I hope these writings will contain:
recognitions that come to me during the year on issues that for
me have some meaning and relevance. I won't apologize for the
arrogance implied in my planning to write what I guarantee will
be a highly opinionated column. Instead I will explain my mo-
tives by saying that last June's commencement address had the
effect upon me of reinforcing a need to reach out and attempt to
touch others. In this address Dr. Glasse stressed the need for
each of us to explain to others "how it is from here." That is
what I want to try to do. In this time of crisis for our country
we all must try to communicate, to reach out (painfully at times)
and contact other lives. We must not become a part of the con-
spiracy of silence. Communication is too important. It is all we
have, I am no prophet, nor intellectual, nor philosopher. With
fear and trembling 1 offer up on the rather frightening altar of
the public media my only gift, a desire and attempt to commu-
nicate. We can no longer afford the luxury of silence, for there
are too many things that need the comment of the way it looks
from here — and there — ^from me— and you. I an as afraid as
anyone to speak what I believe, but now all of us must try to
overcome fear and try to touch.
To finish my explanation of what I hope to do, I offer a poem
and a quotation.
WE ARE HERE TOGETHER
Take my hand. There are two of us in this cave.
The sound you hear is water; you will hear it forever.
The ground you walk on is rock. I have been here before.
But never like this. People come here to be bom, to discover,
to kiss, to dream and to dig and to kill. Watch for the mud.
Summer blows in with scent of horses and roses;
Fall with the sound of sound breaking; Winter shoves
its empty sleeve down the dark of your throat; Spring
brings with it the feel of leaving. You will learn
toads from diamonds, the fist from the palm.
Love from the sweat of Love, falling from flying.
There are a thousand turnoffs. I have been here before.
Once I followed the thread unrolled by a voice
and when I returned my nails had grown into claws.
Once 1 fell off a precipice. Once I found gold,
and then stumbled on murder, the thin parts of a girl.
Now I know the only way to be here is as we are:
The blind leading the blind.
Walk on, keep walking, there are axes above us.
Watch for occasional bits and bubbles of light,
birthdays for you, recognitions: yourself — another.
Watch for the mud. Listen for bells, for beggars.
Someth ng with wings went crazy against my chest once.
TTiere are two of us here. Touch me.
Albert Camus, TTiE REBEL: "Those who love, friends or
lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a
long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of
definitive recognition and reconciliation,"
My first recognition is of the darkness of this cave. The
second is of the need we all have to touch and be touched. We
ARE here together.

Comment: Why No Peace?
WASHINGTON (CPS) Four months have passed since the
Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRVN, North Vietnam) agreed
to send in May 1968 a delegation headed by Minister Xuan
Thuy to begin official talks in Paris with representatives
of the United States. Yet no progress has been made, al-
though Secretary Rusk often in the past (before May) stated
that what he needed was an answer, a signal from Hanoi —
and the war would be over.
But since then Washington has escalated its conditions, which
in fact amount to the surrender of the DRVN and of the Nat-
ional Liberation Front of South Vietnam (NLF), and the re-
cognition of the legitimacy of the U.S. intervention in Vietnam.
It is not difficult for anyone who has read only one page in
the long history of Vietnam to predict that the answer to
such demands can only be. No. The patience of the DRVN

that a "genuine peace" in Viet-
nam should be in keeping with
the "vital interest" of the United
States and that a formula which
would get the United States out

School mi Racial Unrest
Washington (CPS) — On the basis of information gathered about
riots and other disturbances m America last spring, Brandeis
University's Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence has pre-
dicted that schools everywhere "will become the sites of racial
violence when they open this fall."
A recent issue of the Center's The Lemberg Center's data
Riot Data Review classifies 44% (gathered for the most part from
of all recorded instances of dis- newspapers and, in some cases,
order and violence during the witnesses) indicate that King's
first four months of 1968 as assassination accelerated the al-
• 'school-involved." Racial dis- ready existing tensions on the
turbances occurred in both high campuses. Most directly related
schools and colleges with the to the assassination was the stu-
largest number occurring during dent reaction to the insensitivity

The report urged school officials
to study examples of the peace-

The Scots scored their only points in the first half with John

point. The Tigers duplicated the Scots' scoring pattern, and at

Countil, held its 21st annual con-
ference at the University of Kan-

from 250 schools attending. NSA
has been forced in the past into

As a non-profit organization
which accepts government and
foundation grants, it is prohib-

The August congress decided
to divide NSA into two corpo-
rations. The first will retain
the name National Student As-

will not accept grants. It will
therefore be allowed to engage
for the endorsing of specific
candidates. It will be supported
financially by mernbershif^ dues

MC Unlocks New Doors? Special Committee On Community
Life And Structure Reconstituted
The WSGA Council this week
has released a rqport in re-
sponse to questicms about the
status of the key system, vMch.
is to be inaugurated for quali-
fied women students as socm as
the necessary details can be
worked out. Upon recommenda-
tion of the Special Committee
on Community Life and Structure,
the Executive Council, on May
22, approved a plan wherd^y
upper class women could have the
privil^e of a card or key sys-
tem giving them more freedom in
dormitory hours.
Because of die possibility of
a breafcdown in the security of
women's dormitories when so
many keys are in use, some
necessary regulations must be
followed with a mature sense
of responsibility and cooperation.
Representatives of the women
students themselves (WSGA
Council) have suggested the re-
gulations, such as a careful sys-
tem of signing in and out, with
whom one is traveling, the time
of leaving, and the expected time
of return. In addition, the Coun-
cil has suggested that die keys
be checked in and out of the
dormitory by times which will
be specified later.
Security considerations and an
awareness of die seriousness
of individual responsibility have
led the Council to propose as
a penalty for the loss of keys
a twenty-five-dollar fine. Mis-
use of a key by letting it come
into the possession of^^an un-
qualified person will be subject
to action by the Judiciary Comm-
ittee. The Council hopes, how-
ever, that the user will take her
responsibility so seriously that
the penalties will never have to
be assessed, since it will barely
cover die cost of replacing die
lock and all the keys of the
dormitory from which the key
was lost, and assure the security
of die residence halls.
Miss Schussler asked that all
of these proposed regulaticms be
regarded as tentative and still
subject to change as the Council
continues its planning. This
information Is being released
primarily to create a better
understanding of the problems
that the Council is facing.
"PLEASE don't diink," she add-
ed, "that we're sitting on these
keys. Now you have some small
idea of how much is involved in
the implementing of the system
and how much work we've been
doing already. We are working
as fast and as hard as we can.
Some of us want to take advantage
of die privilege as much as you
dol"

On September 23 die Special Committee on Community Life and Structure met to continue the
work begun during the spring term last year. The Committee is composed of the following members:
Miss Linda Jones, Mr. Jim Moore, Mr. Jim Reynolds, Miss Mary Jane Schussler, Mr. Edwin J.
Best, Dr. Carolyn Blair, Dr. Joseph J. Copeland, Dean Boyd L. Daniels, and Dr. Russell Parker.'
Mr. Bnice Semple, President of the Student Body, met widi die Committee as a consultant.
After die new members had been recognized and welcomed, two major papers were reviewed
to bring the membership up to date on die status of its work and the timetable objectives. The
members were reminded diat on May 22, 1968, the Executive Council had approved diree major
recommendations of the Special Committee: (1) the concept of an All College Council, the struct-
ure of which was to be designed by die Conunlttee diis fall; (2) the proposal for the Community
Issues and Values program which has been put into effect this term and is now under die direction
of a student-faculty committee; and (3) changes in the area of social regulations, including the
new hours for resident women and extended automobile privileges now in effect, and die inaugura-
tion of a key system, the details of which are currently being perfected by those most directly
c(Hicemed.
Having agreed that the most pressing item of business was the formulation of a structure
for die All College Council, the Committee first reviewed die action taken by die Executive Council
in which the general purpose of the All College Council was set fordi and a timetable suggested.
Discussion then centered upon the type of community life diat might be established at Maryville
College, taking into account the varied roles of the constituents, including die students, the teach-
ing and administrative faculties, the Board of Directors, alumni, parents, friends, and members
of the larger local community of which die College is a part.
In an effort to proceed rapidly and efficiently, two subcommittees were constituted, one to
put into writing the concept of community life grovrtng out of die discussion, and the other to draft
the structure whereby diis life might best be expressed. The subcommittees were asked to meet
immediately and to be ready to report to the entire Committee at its next meeting on September 30.

MC Adds New Profs
The youag, new addition- to the
French department. Miss Naomi
R. Lesko, is beginning her teach-
ing career at Maryville Cofiege.
She received her B^. in French
at Wake Forest College in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
and her M.A. at Middleburg Coll-
ege Graduate School of French
in France. She studied in Paris
one summer and has spent the
past year studying at the Univer-
sity of Paris.
Bom in Texas, Miss Lesko grew
up in Miami, Florida. She en-
joys tennis and reading and es-
pecially likes people. Being
familiar with this area and want-
ing to teach in a small school,
she chose Maryville College, and
since she has been here she likes
it very much. She feels the
faculty are concerned and de-
dicated.
From her travels in Prance,
Miss Lesko saw that the French
and Americans "have misconcept-
ions of each other. The French
have a different way of life, and
more Americans should travel
in France to see it first hand.
The French are more world con-
scious, and they see die world
from a different point of view.
They are exposed to European
propaganda and Communist in-
fluence. Seeing a revolution
almost begin in Paris made Miss
Lesko ^^redate America more.
While In Europe Miss Lesko
also traveled in Russia, Poland,
and Czechoslovakia after die lib-
eralization. A marvelous exper-
ience and very educational, it
was very upsetting to Miss
Lesko to see what has happened
in Czechoslovakia.

At the September 18 meeting of
Student Council, Dean Daniels
was present to inform members
of the future of the proposed
All-College Council. This Coun-
cil, which hopefully should be
ready to function in January,
will become the sole decision-
making body on Campus. Accord-
ing to the original concept,
urtiich has been discussed and
approved by the Board of Dir-
ectors, it will include students,
faculty, and administration.
Dean Daniels emphasized the
fact that no further details had
been worked out as of yet but
that a committee has been de-
l^ated this responsibility. The
committee is composed of 4 fac-
ulty and administration, 4 stud-
ents, and one board member.
It was also noted diat in working
up the details of the Council's
functions, any part affecting the
bylaws of the college's constitu-
tion would have to be discussed
and a{^roved by the Board of
Directors.
This situation could come about
if the organizing committee de-
cided to eliminate all other de-
cision-making bodies, ' such as
executive council, and incorpo-
rate them into the AU-CoUege
Council. Dean Daniels pointed
out to Student Council members
that the organizaticm of this All-
College Council is the most im-
portant piece of business to be

Welcome Maryville College Students — so say the age-old
signs of downtown Maryville. For returning students there
were more reassuring signs of welcome. For senior there
was at least good news... or rumour. And the work was that
we will not have to dance around that ridiculous maypole of a
schoolhouse, which most of us had little intention of dancing
around anyhow. The word was that to build that schoolhouse
of Isaac Anderson would have cost too much money, as we could
|iave told them, if only on a cost-value basis^ Too bad, for
•^80 many of us were looldng forward to dropping out of that
march. Perhaps President Copeland would have marched alone.
But we will never know.
The idea was farce. One that lent credence to the oft-heard
theory that Maryville is little more than a high school and a
rather juvenile one at that. But it was a serious farce. Those
who proposed it believed in it and perhaps that it was cute.
We thought it was cute too but with a different meaning. It
was cute in the way that too many things at Maryville are cute
(and if we don't like them we can go to another school that is
not so cute but maybe a few of us think Marwille is worth
saving from its own cuddly waysl). We tend to think that this
cute idea would have been laughed at by our highly-esteemed
alumnaVbenefactors/public^ But again we will never know.
The word now has it that in the stead of our schoolhouse
we will see a museum. And not an ordinary museum! This one
will be a museum in the woods. Of course^Maryville Colleg^
may be in dire need of such a museum to display its treasures,
but upon hearing this for the first time our thoughts were that
perhaps museum was not quite the right word. We thought
that instead of a museum what Maryville really needed out
In those woods was a temple... a temple to Venus!
Here indeed is a project to arouse the interest and support
of our public. Our more aged alumnae and benefactors could
;wile away the hours by browsing leisurely through galleries
dedicated to Cupid, Eros, and Venus herself. They could gaze
Vupon works of art, many, perhaps done by inspired students,
and wander endlessly through classical gardens. The college
could turn a tidy profit by renting blankets to smdents and
younger alumnae for use in a landscaped area of the woods which
might be arranged into private nobks. the long-range potential
of such a move is phenomenal. We should have no trouble
filling our classrooms and dormitories. In fact, we might
easily have a waiting list comparable to Yale or Harvard. The
name of Maryville College would be known across the nation!
But alas, it is to be only a museum. A place to hide our
relics of the past, as they are now hidden in the basement of
Thaw. Undoubtedly it would be closed to visitor and student
alike unless they knew who to ask about it. It could be hidden
in some dark recess of the woods and built with lumber from
Baldwin to further discourage discovery. And then again fliey
might not build it and we would never know.
We would hope there are more building sites, if building
is necessary. There is little evidence that it is. Improving
the lower reaches of Thaw or utilizing some of the many dis-
play cases in Sutton are but two possibilities. At any rate, if
it weren't for the word we might never know.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
One of our Constitutional rights
is the FREEEXDM of expression.
One form of expression is the use
of campaign stickers on auto-
mobiles. To tear off a campaign
Sticker from a car is denying
some person of his or her form
of e]q)ression. We cannot tol-
erate people being beaten for
expressing their views and we
should not allow misguided people
to deface political stickers that
may be found on automobiles in
the area. That includes stickers
for Wallace, Nixon, Humphry, and
some of the McCarthy signs that
can be still found on Campus.

Dr. f'aul ijfen
It started in New Hampshire and ended in the streets and con-
vention floor of Chicago, It was a minor political miracle in
this surprising political year. It was a ''children's crusade"
led by a rhari more visionary than pragmatist, more meditator
than extrovert, more poet than politician. It started as the
raising of an issue and ended in the unmaking of a president
and the shaking of a national political party by a group of rank
amateurs. This was Eugene McCarth's presidential campaign
and before its bones are laid to rest I would like to offer one
more very personal elegy ^
Politics by its very nature requires a sell-out of principle
in order to achieve election. For this reason politics remains
basically an. immoral occupation, and he who would be president
must constantly compromise principle in favor of votes, A
refreshing hiatus in the desert of party politics was Soiator
McCarty's campaign, A successful political expediency. But
his presidential campaign was predicated upon the raising of
an issue vital to the American conscience regardless of its
effect upon his own career. This was the man alone, confronted
with an injustice, who could not remain silent. Perhaps Senator
McCarthy did not have the thirst for power absolutely essential
to a presidential candidate. Perhapshe did begin his quest with
martyrdom as his recognized goal. Still, his campaign brought
with it an aura unfamiliar to American politics— the aura of
innocence.
Innocence brings to mind ingenuousness, gulibility, and a wide-
eyed, head-in-the-clouds approach to life. But innocence is
far more than this. Innocence is an active approach to die
complexity of contemporary life, for innocence is the manner
of living which puts- principle and ideal before tangible gain.
Innocence must inevitably lead to rebellion, for it constructs
a doctrine of limits aod will not remain silent in the transgress-
ion of these limits.
When political innocence is confronted by ^trenched political
power, innocence must either, surrender or be destroyed. In
Senator McCarthy's campaign destruodon was certain, because
compromise was impossible. His ideal was broken on the rocks
of machin^ politics and now vultures of both parties swoop
down to pick at the remains— the disenfranchised and dissatisfied
youth, tfie members of the "children's crusade". Mr, Gore
told us to try again in 72. Mr. Alexander welcomed us to
Nixon, What to do is the liberal's dilemna. Can the Democratic
party be reformed now that the old coalition is breaking up?
Would a smashing Republican victory be a catharsis? Or does
the answer lie in innocence, in a-political rebellion, refusal
to sell out to either Nixon or Humphrey? For me the presiden-
tial campaign is over. Now there remains a choice whether
«
to follow Senator McCarthy in working for relevant Senatorial
campaigns or to become totally a-political and find an answer
somewhere in the shifty and difficult concept of innocence and
rebellion.
AFTER THE CORRIDA
(for Gene McCarthy)
The black arena bull bleeds
in the neck.
The ladies are gone.
I throw a rose
Upon the black loins.
Tomorrow
another bullfight
and the gall ink

Keep the whiskey from me.

College Introduces CIV .
Maryville College has taken an-
other step toward relevant educa-
tion— the Community Issues and
Valus program. The philosophy
of CIV sets it apart from the
convocations of last year. It
is not just a community get-
together. It is an important
part of the total academic pro-
gram and is considered so sign-
ificant a part of that program
that credit is offered for attend-
ance. With the belief that the
educated person should be f amil-
iar with may different viewpoints
Worship Set
Oct 6 is World-Wide Communion
Sunday. Vespers will be a
Communion Service led by Dr.
Donald M. Stine. The liturgy
is adapted from the Book of
Common Worship of the Church
of South India. The Church of
South India was constituted in
1947 as a fusion of Reformed,
Presbyterian and Congregational
missionary churches from the
United States and Britain together
with Methodists and Anglicans.
It is an unprecedented union of
episcopal and non-episcopal ch-
urches—a symbol of our ecum-
enical age. Assisting in worship
will be Areerat Hong span and
Donald Hickman, students, and
Mr. Roland F. Lukner and Mr.
Seung Kyun Ko, faculty members.
Music will be by the Vesper
Choir under the direction of Dr.
Harry Harter. Dr. James Bloy
is organist.

in many different areas, CIV is
an attempt to bring these view-
points to campus and to present
them in such a vital way that
discussion will continue long
after the particular program is
over. CIV will try to bring
the issues even closer to campus
by using local resource people
(such as the Blount County pol-
itical party chairmen: as well
as more widely known speakers.)
Mr. Arthur Dees, Communica-
tions Coordinatorfor the college,
has been actively involved with
plans for CIV. He sums up the
point of the program: "the whole
idea is that the whole community
becomes involved in a single
issue~not a single answer but
a single issue— and can react
to that issue in intelligent but
differing ways."
Topics for CIV are wide-open.
Ultimately, students should re-
spond with suggestions for im-
provements, topics of interest,
speakers and other media for
presenting ideas.

In its broader aspects the plan
includes a provision for soph-
omore women to use their keys
on Friday and Saturday nights,
and for junior and senior women
to use their keys on any night.
The classification as to sopho-
more, junior, or senior is to be
determined by the Registrar's
Office, and the privilege extend-
ed to all those who are not on
academic or disciplinary proba-
tion and who, if under twenty-
one, have parental consent. Jan-
uary, 1969, was chosen as a
target date for putting the sys-
tem into effect.
Immediately following the Execu-
tive Council action, DeanMassey,
working with the WSGA officers
and consulting with personnel of
the Treasurer's Office, began
an investigation of both the card
and the key systems. This in-
vestigation, including corres-
pondence during the summer wi±
schools using similar systems,
led to the decision to adopt the
key system, judged preferable
both from the standpoint of
security and ease of operation.
Mary Jane Schussler, the Pres-
ident of WSGA, in discussing the
progress thus far, emphasized
that those involved in the plann-
ing are well aware of the need
for moving rapidly. Yet they
also see the need for retaining
the highest possible degree of
security for all of the dormitory
residents. Miss Schussler point-
ed out that few students stop
to realize how many details must
be worked out clearly before a
college can operate under such
a system for the first time.
For example, letters containing
all explanatory details must be
compiled to be sent to the parents
of all women students, along with
permission blanks for the parents
of those students who are under
twenty-one. Not only do these
letters have to be written and
compiled, but an orderly system
must also be devised for the
women under twenty-one to re-
quest ±at the permission slips
be sent to their parents.

A TALK WITH
MONK
U I
I was a little worried about
the state of our football team
last year, and after Saturday
flight's game I decided to go
and talk with Coach Tomllnson
about It. I asked him what he
feds is our basic "proMem,**
In our ball games. It ii very
clear to me now what the re*
asoQS are. Since so many dlff*
erent people have ideas about
why we have been a losing team
for the last few years, 1 have
decided to enlighten you with-
a few facts tiiat I did not faiow
before talking with the coach.
The football team at Maryville
college har had a fine record
over thft, years. Recently, how*
ever, ttdi has not been the story.
Why? WeU, for one diing, the
team lacks .the experienced play-
ers "^wfao have started playing
college ball as freshman and who
have trained to meet the tou^
assignments facing them on the
field. Etespite what the "Football
Facts" says, there are only two
seniors playing this year. The
team is made up oi juniors,
, sophomores, and freshman. The
average age is 18 years, 1 month.
This, according to Coach Tomlin-
son, is bdow the national average
for college football. The press-
ure is on the seniors and tapper-
classmen to supply the leadership
that usually is supplied by a much
larger number.
Maryville College is one of the
few colleges remaining that does
not have an athletic sdiolarship
program. What it does have
is limited to those men who fit
academically as well as athletic-
ally. In other words, the ball
pilfers must keep ttieir grades
above the 2.0 probation marl^
or face suspension or the draft.
For thi s reason it is very difficult
to keep men in school and play-
ing football. Die to this fact
we have lost about 80 athletes
over the last three years, lliese
men represent long hours of
patient training and hard work.
These men r^resent the found-
ation of eaqperienced ball players
which is needed to win ball games.
The coaches have had to fight
to keep the men in school and
out of the draft. The coaches
have to spend time doing things
that they should not have to do.
The school lacks the personnel
(staff and players) to be a strong,
winning school.
For the first time in a while
the prospects are really looking
'good for the M.C. Scots. For
jthe first time in a while we can
see a foundation being built. Take
I a look at the defensive team, for
instance. Such men as Steve
Boggs and Paul Grice, who are
both sophomores, are examples
of what training and experience
can do for a team. If these two,
as well as die rest of the young-
:^r squad, can stay in school
ire vrill see a strong ball club
developkduring the next two years.
The onensive team looks weak
because of lack of e3q)erience.
Once these men have seen more
acticm, they will improve. It
does not happen over night. It
is gradual.
All of this year's tacts can
be found in the "Football Facts."
If you find some time, pick one
up and read it. It might help
you to understand better what
1 have said.
There remains only one thing
to say. The team can not win
without your support. No matter
whether they win or lose, they
are still part of Maryville Col-
lege. What they do reflects on
you because you are a part of
Maryville College. I am proud
of my school and I am proud of
the adiletic teams on this campus.
I can say diis because I see
the effort that they are putting
into it. I support the teams
not because they are football,
basketball, and baseball teamSi
but because they are Maryville
College and I am too.
So stop complaining. Things
are bound to get better, but they
will get better a lot sooner if
you show those men out there
that you are proud of diem and
of what they are doing.
See you at the games I
Roger Stiles

Go
Well, here I am again, to tell
y'all v^at happened in our game
against Georgetown. Yes, I re-
alize we lost again, but that is
only half of the story. We
almost won that gamel In fact,
we were only two yards from
tieing the game when time ran
out.
Not much can be said about the
first half of the game. The
Georgetown team was bigger and
more experienced and tough.
They scored two touchdowns and
an extra point, and at the half
the score was 13-0.
The Scots were not about to
give up yet. The offensive team
came alive for the first time
this year and sttged a strong
come-back that was only stopped-
by the clock. Georgetown scored
another touchdown in the third
(juarter, and with die scqre 19-0,
it looked as if the Scofs might
be wiped out. But die Tigers
had run around a tree and turned
to butter, and the Scots took
advantage of it. Halfway through

CIV PRESENTS
The Democrats And Republicans
Appropriately enough the first
two civ's of this year were
concerned with politics and the
issues of this election year.
Although the speakers did not
generate excessive enthusiasm
or heated debate among politi-
cal partisans, they revealed to
this writer an interesting fact
about the politics of the present
and gave a small glimmer of
hope for the future.
Although both men, Mr. Alex-
ander representing the Republi-
cans and Mr, Gore Jr. represent-
ing the Democrats, used the poli-
tical approach of generality and
euphamism, the real significance
this writer saw was the way in
which the two men addressed
themselves to their respective
tasks. The confidence of Mr.
Alexander in the rightness of
his cause, the simple answers
for most issues, and his obvious
faith in Mr. Nixon because he
was the party's leader smacked ^
of the old politics, i had no
doubt that Mr. Alexander wanted
to be on the podium representing
Mr, Nixon and having little doubt
in so doing. There was not hint
on his part that he did not have
an answer, that Mr. Nixon did not
know it all, or that all the trouble
was not som^ow our fault.
Mr. Gore obviously was un-
comfortable in his task of repre-
saiting not so much the Demo-
cratic Party as representing the
Vice-President. Mr. Gore did
not display the confidence or the
smugness I saw in Mr. Alexander,
but he did believe in the right-
ness of his cause: the success
of the Democratic Party,
It is in the compariscm of the
way the men handled their tasks
that an important dichotomy be-
came ai^arent to this writer.
Mr, Gore was no less a party

but he obviously had gone to a
different school, Mr. Gore re-
peatedly expressed, in many
ways, die doubt and uncertainty
ii^ch great numbers of Ameri-
cans are feeling about American
politics and the drift of the
country under the leadership of
the current "politicians." Mr.
Gore could not say anything more
in defmse of Mr. Humphrey than
he was better than Mr, Nixon,
that being the Democratic nomi-
nee was reason emt^ that his
liberal record was some assur-
ance, that at least there was
hope for progress under his
leadership. Mr. Gore was con-
cerned about and obviously un-
healed from the effects of Chi-
cago; he was uncertain of the
role he would play in the poll-
tics of the future, but there
can be no doubt that he was
left upset and uncertain of the
efficacy of the politics of the
present.
Interestingly enough the un-
certainty of the American voter
was most clearly expressed by
Mr. Gore, the not-quite-pro-
fessional-politician (perhaps that
is \^y he came across so hones-
tly), Mr. Alexander, on the
other hand, was confident and
sure of the future of America
as only a professional politician
can be sure. Mr, Gore main-
tained a great degree of his
humanness while Mr. Alexander
seemed to float into a stereo-
type, a play-back machine M^ose

given up a degree of their pollti-
pragmatism (or have never al-

for a little humanism and person-
al honesty our society will in
fact be able to create a system
more open and less repulsive

WASHINGTON (CPS)— If repre-

mocratic Society (SDS) would be
one of the groups on the govern-
ment's Subversive Organizations

The South Carolina Republican
last week called on the floor of
the House of Representatives for
a "full-scale investigation" by
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities (HUAC) of
the "most dangerous New Left
operating in the country today."
Watson said SEK plans to over-
throw the U,S. governmient, and
cited as examples of their tactics
the recent Chicago demonstra-
tions and the disruption of Co-
lumbia University last spring.
He said Federal agents who

which discussed the "Une points

(McU/mdi
Last week I was drawn out of my comfortable fog of indifference
by a visitor. His problem was that he had paid the fall bills for
his son, and had unknowingly included in the payment an extremely
rare coin from his collection.
I will help you find your missing coin, I said, intrigued by the
thought of reward money, and always anxious to help my neighbor.
This college is run by very efficient bookkeeping methods, and
the administration will know exactly where every cent of your
payment is. It will be no problem to explain the mistake, and
recover your lost coin.
He seemed skeptical, but my faith was contagious.
First, I said, you must give me your bill, in order to see just
what is the breakdown of your fees.
Unfortunately, the bill was of little help— it stated that the
fees covered room, board, tuition, perhaps insurance, and
indicated that there were no credits for scholarships, loans, etc.
A single figure, at the bottom of the page, mysteriously arrived-at,
was all I could find.
Nevertheless, I assured him, the offices will know how the bill
is itemized.
In order to avoid the proverbial run-around, I started phase
two of my project at the offices I thought LEAST likely to provide
me with the facts. I covered the offices of the President, the
Director of Student Help, the Head of the Economics Department,
and the Dean of Admissions with the same lack of success. But
when I reached the Registrar's office, I knew I was getting
close. There they tried to throw me off the track by explaining
that until they got their statistics straightened out, they didn't
even know if the person in question was a full time or commuting
student, or if he was a student at all.
By then 1 knew my plan had worked, and I marched confidently
to the treasurer's offices, and demanded to know just what was
going on. As expected, they suggested that I try various other
offices for the answer, and were temporarily stunned wh«i I
presented a signed affadavit from each of the offices I had already
seen.
Within a matter of minutes, however, my elation disappeared,
as I was told that well., sure, we can find out all you want to know.
I've been meaning to track those records down someday anyway.
Just come back next Tuesday or November or sometime.
As I saw my visitor off to the airport, I promised that I would
follow up the investigation that I was sure I had started. In the
meantime, I asked, as he boarded the plane, have you looked in
your pockets?

LAW AND ORDER vs. DISSENT CHICAGO— AND BEYO!
The time has come again to examine the place of dissent
our society. The specter of Major Daley's thugs clubbing

Recently another voice has been added to the anti-diss(
coalition. Spiro T. Agnew, the man most likely to be the ni
vice-president of the U.S. has come out strongly for the cau
of law and order and in doing so has blurred the issue of t
place of dissent. Two quotes from Mr, Agnew are worth cc
sidering as many of us seek a means to deal with out country

"If one wants to pinpoint the cause of riots, it would

It is difficult to believe that a candidate from a major politic
party can be so short-sighted and simplistic in his af^roach
the riots. To dismiss the blot of racism so glibly is the ma
of the socially naive and intellectually deficient; in short,
mark of the politican playing on fear rather than trusting
reason. What is perhaps more frightening and dangeroi
however, is Mr. Agnew's equating of riotii^ and acts of ci
disobedience. Later in the sanie' article, Mr. Agnew is quot
as saying:
"to my opinion, I can be entirely for civil rights and entirt
against civil disobediaice. I'm for the right to demonstrs

This politics of confrontation is, of course, basically a neg

I must, of C(Hirse, draw a sharp distinction between passi

Neglecting
Nonviolence
by Dick Gregory
Though it is no easier to get
white folks to agree on a part-
icular political issue than it is
to produce like consensus in
the black community, white Afn-
erica is generally united in
deploring the violence of the
black ghetto. Black militants
are seen to be the enemies of
wholesome race relations in this
country and are continually pub-
licly rebuked by the mass media.
But v^ite America fails to under-
stand that its own rejection of the
philosophy of non-violence has
produced Stokely Camichael and
Rap Brown.
Many people in this country for-
get, or perhaps never knew, that
it was Rap Brown, Stokely Carm-
ichael and other members of the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) who taught
nonviolence in the early days
of the civil rights movement.
If v^ite America could have
REALLY seen what those kids
went through then, it could bett-
er understand and appreciate
what they are saying now.
Every white American should
have been with Stokely and Rap
in Greenwood, Mississippi, when
they tried to integrate the sch-
ools. All during the summer mon-
ths, ^ile most Americans were
enjoying their vacations, SNCC
members were canvassing the
black community. TTiey had to
convince poor sharecroppers that
their kids were needed to test
the Supreme Court decision on
school desegregati(xi,
SNCC did a good job that
summer. They got twelve fami-
lies to permit dieir children to
be used in the intergration effort.
At least they thought they had
twelve ^en they went to bed the
night before opening day of sc-
hool. The next morning only
eight reported — four had copped
out. Just try to imagine vrtiat
it feels like to go to a five-year-
old kid*s house to pick him up
for die first day of school. He
is all smiles and excitedly happy.
And you place his little black
hand in yours and wonder why
someone hasn't had the courage
to tell him that he might be going
to die.
When you come to the school
building, you see the cops barri-
cading it and the sheriff says
"Where you going, nigger?" And
you answer, "I'm going to
school." The little kid looks up
innocently and sayS, •*MorT»in',
mister," And the sheriff snaps,
•*Well, you can't bring that car
in here." So you park the car
and get out cautiously. You tight-
ly grip that little black hand
again and the inside of your hand
is soaking wet with sweat. Not
the kid's sweat, but your own.
As you approach the school
building, you see a sight that
makes you know that somebody
is going to die. You see the mob
and the police. When you hit
the school steps, you know you
weren't wrong. You are not
only attacked by the mob, but
by the sheriff and the police. The
next tiling you know you are flat
on your back in the gutter with
that sheriff's foot on your chest
amd a double-barreled shotgun
in your throat. You hear a voice
snarl, "Move, nigger, and 1*11
blow your brains out." YcHi're

MEXICAN SUMMER
Among the many students from
Maryville visiting foreign count-
ries during the summer was Miss
Brenda Laipply, a senior major-
ing Spanish education. Through
a scholarship grant from Florida
Presbyterian University, Miss
Laipply attended classes at the
summer session of the University
of the Americas in Mexico City
from June 14 dirough August 10.
Traveling with her were 26 other
students representing colleges
and universities throughout the
United States.
For the first 5 and one half
weeks Miss Laipply attended
morning lectures both at the
University of the Americas and
the University of Mexico designed
to familiarize the students with
Mexican History and culture. The
afternoons were filled with class-
es in Spanish and Mexican liter-
ature and Spanish conversation-
all taught in Spanish.
A series of weekend excursions
to the floating gardens of Xoch-
imilco, Teotichucan, the city of
the ancient Aztec civilization,
the shrine of Guadalupe, Acapulco
and to bullfights gave Miss
Laipply the opportunity of view-
ing the surrounding countryside.
She was particularly impressed
with the mountains and the natural
beauty of die landscape. Her
greatest thrill was a swim in
the Pacific.
The last week of the trip was
spent in Tepatzlan a Y,M.C.A.
camp, where the students studied
for and took their final examina-
tions. On the return to Mexico
City a tour including a 100 mile
radius of the city included such
places asMorelia,Querrentarro,
Curenavaca, and Taxco, the sil-
ver city.
Miss Laipply found the Mexican
people throughly Involved with
the prospect of die Olympic gam-
es and received v/hsit she called
an Americanized view of Mexico
because of this. However, the
opportunity of studying and living
in Mexico for a summer re-
affirmed her conviction that the
only way to learn a language is
to live among the people who
speak it.
COLLEGE ARTIST
SERIES
SEEKS INVOLVMENT
The College Community Artist
Series for 1968-69 is rapidly
becoming a total involvement of
cooperation among representa-
tives of Maryville, Alcoa, Blount
County, and Maryville College.
The 1968-69 Artist Series pro-
mises to be a highly entertaining
one with three major events sche-
duled for college age students
and older adults, plus the advent
of a Student Artist Series, aimed
primarily at grades from 1 th-
rough 6, but for secondary school
children too.
The three college and adult
events are the Denver's Third
Eye Theatre presentation of the
musical "Carnival" slated for
Thursday, October 17; the Tucson
(Ariz.) Boys Chorus calendared
for Monday, March 3, 1969; and
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
with pianist Loren Hollander,
and directed by the famous Robert
Shaw, scheduled for Monday,
April 14, 1969, These diree
events are to be performed in
Wilson Chapel on the Maryville
College campus at 8:15 p.m.
The three Student Artist Series
programs are planned for after-
noon performances at 2 p.m. in
Wilson Chapel and are for young
people from grade school through
hi^ school. TTie young people's
programs include the local 3
Arts Theatre production of "The
Magic Glen," a play designed
to appeal to young school child-
ren scheduled for Monday, Oct-
ober 28. The Tucson Boys Chorus
is slated for Monday, March 3,
1969, and the Continental Air
Command Band from Warner-
Robbins (Ga,) Air Base is sche-
duled for Monday, March 31,
Patron memberships are curr-
ently being solicited at $15 each
with the final date of purchase
Monday, September 30.
Single tickets may be purchased
at the College ticket office locat-
ed in the Anderson Hall annex.
There is no general admission.
All tickets are reserved and
must be picked up in advance of
the performance. Individual adult
tickets are $3,50 and students
through college age are $1,75,

terrified but you think how ironic
it is diat the only time white
folks will admit you have brains
is when they are talking about
what they are going to do to them.
Then the most horrible thing
happens that has ever happened
to you in your life. You suddenly
realize that the little black hand
is not there. And you turnaround
to look for that little five-year-
old kid. You spot him just in
time to see a brick hit him
right in the mouth. That just
doesn't read right for some
reason. You have to actually
see a brick hit a five-year-old
kid in the mouth, regardless of
what color the kid is. Only then
can you realize the depths of
blind and insane hate.
Now you have to take that
bruised and bleeding little kid.
whose early-mofTiing smile has *
been pulverized and perhaps
erased forever, back hoitie to
his parents who trusted you.
You have to try to explain what •
happened. You have to hope
you will have their support when
you have the stomach to try
again. And your own Words
choke you and anything you are
able to say sounds so unconvinc-
ing.
You may never be able to justify
Stokely and Rap, but when you
know what they have been th-
rough, you may be able to under-
stand them. If all white Americ-
ans were through the same treat-
ment those SNCC kids went di-
rough. half of diem would have
committed suicide and the other
half would be burning this count-
ry to the ground.
H.I.U.
PROGRESSES
Last spring the former Fred
Hope Fund became die new "Hope
for International Understand-
ing." This organization has long
stood as one of the few outlets
for foreigh concerns, but it has
been a one-way channel too much
of the time because diere has not
been enough of a follow-through
of student sponsored projects.
With die new H. L U. it is hoped
that Maryville College can de-
velop into much more of a cosmo-
politan center simply by realizing
the variety of cultures represent-
ed widiin the student body and
faculty. Each year die Hope Fund
will continue to raise money from
the Maryville campus and com-
munity for a project overseas
as a phase of die H. 1. U. pro-
gram that will kindle a greater
international awareness for all.
Last summer Dinni Drake, in
the Crossorads Program, and
Jim Spotts, at the Adura Riber
Missionary Station, was sup-
ported partically by diis fund
as well as was die Tibetan Refu-

SCOTS
Scoring in the first quarter only, The Scots were defeated by
Austin College by a score of 28-7. The Scots scored on a pass
f|om quarterback Dave Garner to Don Hickman (a 44 yard play),
and an extra kick by Jim Cannon.
The Kangaroos came; back in the first quarter and tied the game.
The second quarter was a big one for the *roos, who scored a
big 21 points, pulling way ahead of the Scots. Nobody scored
in the second half.
The Scots did not do such a bad job out there. They kept
Austin down to 28 points, 12 below their average this year. And
if I'm not mistaken, the Scots were the first to score against
them too. Austin had a record of 6-3-0 for last year and did not
play Maryville. Their enrollment is 970. So, considering all
sides of the story we can be proud of our Scots.

STAGG
Each week the football coach-
ing staff chooses a player who,
in their opinion, played an out-
standing game that week. This
player received the Amos Alonzo
Stagg award, presented at the
pep rally.
Bom in 1862, Stagg lived to be
103. He is known as the "grand
old man of football," and it is
easy to see y/Axy, He had the-
longest coaching career in his-
tory. While at Yale, Stagg play-
ed end on the football team and
was chosen to be a member of
the first AU-American team. He
was also an outstanding pitcher,
and turned down many offers to
become professional.
After coaching and playing at
Springfield (Mass.) College.
Stagg joined the athletic depart-
ment at the University of Chicago
in 1892. Among some of his
achievements while there were
the end around play, the hidden-
ball trick, the huddle, the shift,
man-in-motion, and the practice
tackling dummy, EXiring his
career five Chicago teams were
undefeated and six won Western
Conference chapmionships. Stagg
retired from Chicago at the age
of 70, with a record of 268 wins,
141 losses.
He moved to the College of the
Pacific, and in 1943 was chosen
coach of the year. In 1946 he^
moved to Susquehanna College,
and then to Stocton Jr. College
in 1953, where he ggve up coach-

Sports Editorial
I went to the pep rally (that's what they called it) the other
night. It was supposed to show the football team that the school
and their fellow students are behind them. I guess by now the
team has a good idea about how many kids are really for them.
It isn't as if the rally were a real long, time-consuming
ordeal. Actually, it lasted only ten minutes. Wow I That really
gets to you. Like, ten minutes out of your study time, one night
a week, might really hurt.
And what happened to the band? They spend more time going
and coming than they do at the rally. What about it, Mr. Stallings?
Maybe we won't have any time for your concerts this year.
If the football team can go out and practice each day, if the
coaches can put all their effort into training the team, if the
cheerleaders can spend their time learning cheers, then you
can find a few minutes to walk over to the field and show these
people that their efforts aren't going for nothing.
There's a word that I think I hear in one of those cheers.
It's Pep-ability. And the rest of it goes something like: You
do your best, boys/We'll do the rest, boys/WE are the Maryville
Scotties.
The next rally is for a Home game. Will you be there?

''M Generation
A psychology professor at Hav-
erford College who has been
studying the '*cool generation"
of college students says their
problems are the results of ch-
anges in national education goals
over the past 10 years.
"We have abandoned the goal of
every major educational philos-
opher since Socrates as well as
the goal most appropriate for
a democracy," states Dr. Doug-
las Heath. "We no longer strive
to develop human excellence—
we strive to develop only intell-
ectual excellence."
From a psychological point of
view, he says student unrest
stems from too much stress on
intellectual development at the
expense of emotional and social
development. At the same time.
Dr. Heath suggests it would be
better if students would "blow
their cool." He said: "To play
it cool is to become more de-
tached from one's feelings and
moods, to distrust spontaneity,
to reject tenderness, affection.
body. Because of his achieve-
ments he was chosen as a member
of the Football Hall of Fame,
both as a coach and player.
The man m^o receives the week-
ly award can be proud that he
is carrying on such fine qualities
of character and sportsmanship.
M
sentiment, weakness, serious "in-
volvement..."
"Coolness produces inner emp-
tiness, emotional bankruptcy
and boredom,"
Dr, Heath said analysis of data
on incoming freshmen at Haver-
ford since World War 11 also
revealed these important trends:
"Young people today are be-
coming more self-centered. Th-
ey over-value the role of the
"intellect."
"Young persons spurred by the
New Left desire academic pow-
er, believe they should organize
the university, and are more
competent than most faculty to
make academic decisions."
"Contemporary freshmen are
not hung up on sex, their parents,
or their academic work. Their
greatest preoccupation is lone-
liness.

for the tall, academic looking Chicagoan, who has led his town

The "In Crowd", which has sold into the millions, (followed
by the equally successful recordings of "Hang on Sloopy" and
"Wade in the Water"), has resulted in TV appearances on the

On October 15, the college book-
store began sales of a new volume
of poetry, MY WATERMELON
MAN, by a recent (1967) grad-
uate of Maryville College, David
Reed Powell. The design for the
dust jacket is the product of an-
other Maryville graduate. Heath-
er Van Dyke (1967), and the
illustrations are by a third gradu-
ate of Maryville, Sara Parker
Scotchmer (1966). My WATER-
MELON MAN is a Vantage Press
publication and is now available
at the bookstore.
Last week when I was asked to
write about David's book for the
ECHO, I felt a bit timid, but
flattered and willing to say what
1 could about the small new
volume of Powell poetry, realiz-
ing that what I can say about it
is necessarily influenced byw^at
I know of the poet himself. Many
of us who were living at Mary-
ville when David was (two short
years ago) and* who kno\v ^^^'
or his poetry, like to say to each
other, "I told you so, "and appear
smug about this, his first pub-
lication. However, speaking for
myself, and I'm sure for others,
the feeling 1 get when I hold
the actual hard-backed, dust-
jacketed book in my hand is
amazement, wonder, triumph.
The reasons for this are more
than merely the fact that some-
one we know has published a book
of poetry. The reasons are the
someone, and the poetry.

student, first as a biology major
While he lived and studied at
Maryville he spent a good deal
of his time exploring the section
of the Smokies we see from the
back of campus. Beyond those
mountains he travelled to Europe
one summer vacation and brought
back with him new dimensions
of exploration. All along the way
from Maryville and across the
sea he touched and loved people
and experiences All along the
way he captured people and ex-
periences in words he wrote
poetry. Here at Maryville, he
became known for his words—
his images. He himself became
an image. He talked his poetry
to any of us who would listen to
him, he wrote it and gave it to
us, he read it to us in the Lantern,
pacing and repeating, pausing to
hope that his water color visions
came clear to us. The ECHO *
printed his poems and some of
us still have old clippings of
them, the familiar words of which
we recognize with great satis-
faction in the new pages ot MY
WATERMELON MAN.
It is natural that in the gather-
ing of David's poetry we see the
development of a journey. He

All College Council
Progress
At the meeting of the Student- Faculty Senate on Tuesday
evening, October 8, members of the Special Committee on
Community Life and Structure reported progress on their pro-
posal for an All-College Council, For two weeks the Committee
was divided into subcommittees, one to formulate the philo-
sophical basis for the new structure and the other to draw up
a plan for an All-College Council and committee organization.
Jim Reynolds summarized the findings of the subcommittee
assigned to formulate the philosophy. His report included state-
ments regarding the concept of community and the constituents
of a college community. The requirements for the success of
a community growing from a voluntary association, he stated,
are "mutual respect, mutual trust, recognition of mutal de-
pendence, promotion of community order, and acceptance of
personal responsibility." Such a community demands informed,
concerned, and active participation, with each member asking
and answering one major question: "What must I be and do if
this community is to fulfill its purpose?"

Handicrafts:
A Developing Resource
For Appalachia
Six of the tep poorest counties
in the United States are in Appa-
lachia, a region that covers 150,-
000 square miles and is home to
17 million people. The number of
people in Appalachia receiving
federal assistance is 45 percent
higher than the rest of the coun-
try.
But despite its abandoned
mines, Appalachia still retains re-
sources for the future. And two
VISTA Volunteers assigned to the
area have stumbled across one of
its more unlikely ones — quilting.
Quilting is one of the hidden
resources of Appalachia. Until re-
cently it had proved about as
profitable as the ability to tell a
good tale or whistle through your
teeth.
"Everyone makes quilts in Ap-
palachia so there's no demand for
them," said VISTA John Kobak,
explaining why women would sell
a quilt that took 150 hours to
make for $10 or $12.
Kobak, 21, a Harvard man, is
aware that there is a market for
the crafts of Appalachia in the
northern cities or on the East and
West Coasts, where handicraft
long ago disappeared in the flood
of factory-made products. To get
the money to reach these markets
— to pay for advertising and ship-
ping— Kobak and other Volun-
teers assigned to Appalachian
communities are working to estab-
lish local handicraft cooperatives.
The cooperatives group togeth-
er people with traditional handi-
craft skills and take 10 percent of
the sale to meet the cost of find-
ing new markets.
In Dickenson County, Ken-
tucky, where Kobak works, 25
women have formed The Quilting
Bee. Through a series of pie sup-
pers, they raised money to pay
for a brochure featuring photo-
graphs of the quilts and descrip-
tions of the patterns.
Kobak, who talks knowledge-
ably of quilting, reels off the tra-
ditional pattern names, "Double
Wedding Ring, Field of Diamonds,
Star of Bethlehem, Oddfellow,
Drunkard's Path." The last, he
says, "looks just like op art."
"The women work alone on a
quilt because a quilt made by one
person is much more valuable,"
he explained. "They have a big
frame which practically fills the
room."
The Quilting Bee is setting up
a standards board which will pass
on each woman's work before she

VISTA Rolland Michael talks with a gang member in Santa Fe.
What the Tourists Don't
See in Old Sante Fe
Bill Osborne, who became a VISTA Volunteer after graduating
from the Job Corps, works with children in a Chicago school.
Osborne is assigned to Uptown, a neighborhood with a high
percentage of residents from Appalachia.
By the thousands, year after
year, and for very good reasons
too, the tourists come to Santa
Fe, New Mexico.
They flock to the colorful
adobe-style city to walk its pic-
turesque streets and they visit the
Palace of the Governors built al-
most 300 years ago by Spanish
colonialists.
Tourism is the industry in San-
ta Fe.
But the picture postcards and
polaroid snapshots the travelers
take home don't show the families
of 8 or 10 living in two-room
shacks without running water.
Or the teenagers who drop out
of school because they can't speak
English and can't kefep up with
the work.
Rejected by schools, employers,
and society, the youths congregate
at a five-and-dime store on the
"Plaza," a square in the center of
town. They group together in
gangs that give them a stability
they've never found elsewhere.
Through violence the boys achieve
a feeling of power.
RoUand "Mike" Michael of
Rochester, New York, came to
Santa Fe four months ago to work
for a year as a VISTA (Volun-
teer In Service To America).
"Three years ago," Mike said,
"Santa Fe was literally 'gang land,'
with gangs 100 strong." A former
high school teacher there. Brother
Godfrey Reggio, S.S.C, broke the
gangs down into smaller groups
so that the youngsters could be
reached and formed "Young Citi-
zens For Action" with which
Mike works now.
Mike met several of the youths,
and found that they were involved
in legal difficulties. "I went to
hearings with them — their par-
ents usually don't — got to know
their friends, and helped them
get jobs," Mike said. "As tough
as they try to be, they're pretty
scared inside."
Mike found that in working
with the 14-to- 16-year-olds, he
had to demonstrate an interest in
them as a group first, then as
people. "The boys have no self-
confidence," he said, "and the
group gives them personality.
They have no feeling of family
or self-worth, and they hold in
guilt feelings until they explode.
This usually results in violence.
They're a negative influence on
each other. When you see them
walk along the street together, a
feeling of panic runs through you.
"But," he continued, "once you
convince them that you're for
them and that they're worthwhile,
they want something to hold on
to. They don't want to be violent,
but violence is a means of expres-
sion. If you put them into a crea-
tive setting, they're surprised at
themselves, and suddenly a fight
is distasteful to them."
Mike encourages individualism,
discourages activities as a group
except for recreational participa-
tion. Mike tries to break the de-
pendence on the group and have
the boys think for themselves.
The schools are little help.
There are no classes geared for
youngsters who speak Spanish,
and so the youths fall behind
when the reading becomes de-
manding, which adds to their feel-
ing of worthlessness. When Mike
tried to get one 16-year-old boy
into a special education class, he
was told by officials that the boy
should get a job. But the boy
wanted to go to school.
"The kids are bitter toward
school," said Mike. "School has
convinced Hector that he's dumb.
As far as academics go he may
be. But there is nothing wrong
with his mind and he knows what
he's thinking."
Mike is quietly tutoring one
boy, who is afraid the group will
ridicule him.
In addition to helping the boys
educationally, Mike has encour-
aged several of them to enter the
Job Corps. In this way, they can
receive training that will enable
them to get jobs. As the boys find
employment, experience shows,
they form new friendships and
break their dependence on the
group.
Mike feels that in working with
these boys it is important to main-
tain his own standards. "There are
always people in the group mad
at you because you won't concede
to them," he said. "They contin-
ually test you. They wait to be
rejected and constantly ask you
to do things that you can't do,
like buying them beer, for ex-
ample. Their reliance on me de-
termines how long they stay an-
gry. The more dependent they are,
the faster they get over it.
"It's a matter of teaching them
that you don't use people for what
they have," said the VISTA. «I
try to make myself dependent on
them instead. It helps a lot if
you're on equal terms or if you're
dependent in some measure on
them. Then you can make sug-
gestions as a peer. For this reason,
I haven't gotten my driver's li-
cense vet. If a bov will walk three
blocks with you, that's not so

EDITORIAL
College Students and
Their Place in Society
We in VISTA don't subscribe to the inaccurate and over-inflated
current <oncept which charges college students with failing to
recognize their responsibilities and their places in society. We
know that the students who dig in far outnumber those who tune
out.
It's true that they don't make the headhnes but it is also true,
in a far more commanding way, that very significant numbers are
aware of horizons unbounded by myopic, selfish views.
We see this in VISTA every day. What is more important is that
numbers of the 30 million Americans who are forced by the
circumstances of their lives into the tortured category of the poor
see it too. Wherever there are poor people, in some small measure
there are VISTA Volunteers. Today, in 49 states, in the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, in Guam and in
American Samoa, there are VISTAs.
About 75 per cent of the Volunteers now out in the field or in
training have been to college. And we have found that 35 per cent
of the more than 8,000 Americans who became Volunteers since
the program began in the Winter of 1965, either elected to serve
for a second full year or increased their length of service by
periods of months. That indicates very clearly I think, the quality
of the people who join VISTA and how they feel about the job.
VISTA goes only where it is invited and the invitations — now
that people have discovered what it can do — are pouring in.
Last year at this time there were requests for 13,850 Volunteers
to serve on 1,101 projects. Today the figures are nearly 40 per
cent greater with 18,987 asked for to serve on 1,509 projects.
That means America wants you if you're willing to give a year
to a tough, frequently disagreeable, but profoundly affecting ex-
perience— for people who need your help and for you.

VISTA Larry Kelly is assigned to Allenville, Ariz., a community featured in the VISTA film,

'All Allenville Is Almost
One Big Drop-out
##
Martha Donez, a 19-year-old VISTA Volunteer, works with the
Choctaw Indians in Idabel, Oklahoma.
Thirty-five miles west of Phoe-
nix just off Highway 80 is Allen-
ville, Arizona, barely a dot on a
map. It goes largely unnoticed by
the hundreds of cars that roar
daily down the highway.
Yet Allenville is home to some
450 migrants, mostly Negro, who
perform the stoop labor necessary
to pick cotton, cucumbers, roses,
lettuce and onions. It's backbreak-
ing work that pays a mere 90
cents an hour and that only dur-
ing the season which runs from
September through December.
The community is an eyesore.
Junk litters the rutted unpaved
streets. There are no street lights,
no stop signs.
Entire families are crammed
into foul, one-room shacks. Most
are without heat, electricity or
plumbing. Children attend school
periodically, but even drop out
from that to pick in the fields to
help eke out a meager existence.
No one goes to college and few
finish high school. A migrant
child grows up unskilled, suited
only to become a migrant adult.
New generations are bred into
poverty, disease. Ignorance, and
filth.
But Allenville is changing. Last
year two VISTA Volunteers
came to Allenville to live like the
migrants in a shack, share their
discomforts, and work with the
migrants to help them better their
lives.
Today Allenville has its own
beautification program. Trees,
flowers and grass are gradually re-
placing the mud and dust, piles of
trash, and abandoned cannibal-
ized cars. The town had a clean-
up campaign and its residents are
developing civic pride for the first
time.
Thirty-five adults are studying
at night to pass their High School
General Equivalency exams. The
classes were started by VISTA
Volunteers, Laurence J. Kelly and
his roommate. Bob Breving.
They used the back room of
their two-room shack for the
classes.
"They really kept us going,"
said 22-year-old Kelly, who com-
pleted two years as a history ma-
jor at the University of Minnesota
before he joined VISTA.
"I read about VISTA and said
to myself, 'It's about time you
looked in the mirror. There are
too many poor people here,' I de-
cided to join VISTA and help."
Kelly trained for six intensive
weeks at the University of Colo-
rado where he learned such things
as how to build an outhouse.
After training he was assigned to
AllenvUle to wOTk for a year
under the sponsorship of the
Migrant Opportunity Program of
Arizona.
The youth of Allenville are
being trained for job skills through
the Neighborhood Youth Program
that the VISTAs started. Many
young people now have jobs in
nearby towns.
Six youngsters who dropped
out of school are now back in
classes due to the VISTAs who
tutored them. "All Allenville is
almost one big drop-out," ex-
plained Kelly.
But the Volunteers* biggest tri-
umph was getting two Allenville
teenagers scholarships to college:
John, who was elected freshman
representative, Is studying sociol-
ogy and Ocle is studying busi-
ness.
Gradually the VISTAs are turn-
ing their work over to the com-
munity. Their adult education
classes outgrew their cramped
back room and are now conduct-
ed by local teachers in the new
education center. The VISTAs
had helped build a child care
center that is also being run by
the community.
The community banded togeth-
er and got their first street lights
and stop signs. The VISTA Vol-
unteers helped them draw up their
petitions and hold meetings but
the people actually did the work
themselves and took their petition
to the County Supervisor's office.
By dint of ceaseless prodding
the Volunteers have been instru-
mental in bringing new industry
into their community. A shirt
factory is opening which will pro-
vide employment. The VISTAs
visit homes and get to know the
people and their problems. They
arrange for jobs and job training
in nearby Phoenix for the mi-
grants. The Western Electric
hired a number of them. Slowly
but surely the poverty cycle with
the migrants is being broken.
The VISTAs' year was up in
June, but Kelly elected to stay on
for an additional year. **I felt
somebody should remain to see
that the programs really were
carried on," he said.
As for the future, he plans to
return to college and get his de-
gree in sociology. "My aim Is to
work on community action and
with juveniles," he said.
DIALOGUE: How It Is On the Other Side
YISTA recently taped a discus-
sion witli four Volunteers cm tite
problems that confront a member
of the middle class on moving
into a poor neighborhood. Par-
ticipants were Peter Howell, 21,
who attended Wesleyan Univer-
sity; Martha Epstein, 23, who re-
ceived a bachelor's degree in psy-
chology from the University of
California at Los Angeles; Jerry
Morton, 24, who received a bach-
elor's degree from Michigan State
University and a master's in pur-
nalism from Northwestern Uni-
versity and Edith Murphy, 23,
who received a bachelor's degree
in psychology from California
State College at Long Beach.
Both Howell and Miss Epstein
are assigned to the National Com-
mittee of Children and -Youth in
Washington, D.C. and work with
Project Challenge, a job training
and counseling program at the
Youth Center for convicted felons
at Lorton, Ya. Both live in Wash-
ington, D.C.
Morton and Miss Murphy are
as»gned to the Baltimore Com-
munity Action Agency. Morton
works out of the Wolfe St. Center.
Miss Murphy works with the E.
Baltimore St. Center in an area
with a high percentage of Lumbee
Indians.
JERRY MORTON: One of the
biggest differences between the
lower — so-called lower — econom-
ic classes and the middle class is
the ability to control your own
destiny. In the area where I work,
people become very dependent on
others, not necessarily by their
own choosing. But all along the
line their destiny and their life is
controlled for them. First of all,
if the man is on welfare, you have
the social worker who has the
power of economic life and death
over a client. He gives the check
to the client and then the landlord
comes along and takes that check
away. Or the check goes down to
the corner grocer. There's no abil-
ity to plan.
You take so much for granted
in the middle class. Shall I join

VISTA or go to school or this or
that? Or even go to a ballgame.
But in the area where I work,
people are really confined by lack
of money. They don't get out be-
yond their own block.
PETER HOWELL: If you have
money or stability in your back-
ground, you can worry about oth-
er people, about your part in so-
ciety. Whereas, if you don't have
money you just worry about you,
yourself.
I think the main difference with
the prisoners is that they don't
feel responsible to other people
because other people haven't been
responsible to them. They haven't
benefitted from other people's
presence, generally speaking. So
they're not concerned with help-
ing others and they kind of feel
they're not making it at all and
everyone else is. They see nothing
but new cars on the street and
television shows that you should
have silken smooth hands . . . and
they don't. So they feel, "Some
people have money. We don't
have money and we should have
money. It's kind of owed to us
because this is supposed to be an
affluent society."
JERRY MORTON: You're
brought up with certain values
and then you realize how rela-
tive values are. Relative to how
much money you have — almost,
you can afford to have certain
values, if you've got a lot of
money or have been brought up
in a family which for generations
has held pretty good jobs.
^,;4./t42^^
EDITH MURPHY: It's really pit-
iful how the people in our area
have to go and beg. We tell them,
when they go down to an agency,
"Demand your rights."
JERRY MORTON: My area is
about 50-50 racially, although 85
to 90 percent of the people who
come to the Center are Negroes.
As far as the older people are
concerned, I can feel they expect
this paternalistic attitude; they
have a defeatist attitude. Almost
the poorer people are — and we
have very poor people in our
area, both white and black — the
more they want to talk to you and
want you to come into their house.
And the really frustrating thing is
that sometimes I don't do any-
thing. They call me and I'll go
over there and just talk to them
about a welfare problem and
maybe give them information. But
not really do much. And they
feel like you've done a lot.
EDITH MURPHY: It's pretty
hard to be objective when you go
down with people to wait in Do-
mestic Court and they're nervous.
You're nervous too, because you
really care that they get that wel-
fare check. It's become a part of
you. It's hard not to be emotional.
I think maybe it's even wrong
not to be emotional. But I think
you do have to keep a little ob-
jectivity. Your background, your
schooling help. Their lives are so
tangled up. You can go into their
home situation and say, "Why
don't you do such and such or
go to such and such." And they
have never thought of it. And
that way you're being objective
because you can lead people to
the right resources. And you have
to be objective in this way. But
you have to have the background
to do this.
PETER HOWELL: Sometimes
when people have these huge
problems, I'll just feel that I'm
not really that involved in it. I'm
involved in it to an extent but it's
not really hanging me up and
I'll feel guilty that I'm not more
involved.
JERRY MORTON: It's hard to
say what defenses you use but
there's something that keeps you
from being torn apart. It's a kind
of a deadening, I suppose. But not
the kind that means you don't
care. There are little things when
you're talking to people — things
like changing the subject — that
are a part of avoiding confronta-
tion with people. Over the long
haul things get to wear on you.
Poverty is really a very dull busi-
ness, a grind. So then maybe you
get out of the neighborhood for
a little bit.
MARTHA EPSTEIN: I used to
live in the Cardoza area but I
wasn't really a part of the neigh-
borhood because I worked all day
and came back at night. But even
so, I find that it's hard to ever
leave the situation. You always
bring it home with you at night.
EDITH MURPHY: I think that's
one way that VISTA sort of caps
all the manpower. They don't de-
fine what you are. You don't know
what you are. You've got this
conscience or you wouldn't have
gotten into it. And God! You'll
do anything, from sticking your
hand into someone's mouth who's
having an epileptic fit to burying
somebody and crying, you know,
because none of the family showed
up. You don't know what the
limits are. And your conscience
says, "Do it all." In that way you
really get depressed because you
think, "I didn't do enough. I
should be more responsible."
And that wears on you. You
know, you go home and say, "I
didn't do something. I let some-
one down." Maybe you didn't
but it's the undefined limits.
JERRY MORTON: It's interest-
ing how your reactions to pov-
erty change. At first I'd walk into
a house and I'd really want to
cry because it was so bad. One
place I remember — my supervisor
sent me out on a case to investi-
gate a rat situation. The woman
had rats. She said, "C'mon out in
the kitchen and I'll show you."
And I said, "Noooo . . . noooo.
I believe you." In other cases,
people will offer you coffee out
of cups that look pretty bad.
EDITH MURPHY: Or you sit in
a chair and you think, "Oh, there
are probably lice in this chair."
But you sit in it.
JERRY MORTON: Now I just
don't care about it. I just drink
the coffee and it doesn't make too
much difference.
EDITH MURPHY: Living in a
poor neighborhood, you sort of
lose the middle class mores —
everything has to be neat and
everything has to be done just
right. Because there are too many
other things that are important
and you can't wash your windows.
I can't dig washing windows when
there are too many things to be
done.
JERRY MORTON: To a lot of
outsiders, what we're doing looks
rough. It is, again, a middle class
thing. They think there's a lot of
violence going on and we're very
brave just walking down the street.
People become very scared, main-
ly because they don't know the
area. They've just gone there in
a car. They've never walked
down the street. You know, it's
safe. Something could always hap-
pen, but I've never been fearful.
EDITH MURPHY: It's funny.
Last night we were going to get
a cup of coffee. We couldn't think
of anywhere to go outside of the
neighborhood. We drove around
and around the city and couldn't
think of any place to go.
MARTHA EPSTEIN: I don't
write letters to my old friends
anymore. I went home for vaca-
tion at Easter. But I found that
people just don't care.
EDITH MURPHY: You do lose
communication with people you
used to know. I went home on va-
cation too. I went back to wall-
to-wall carpeting. I had an apart-
ment that rents for the same as
the place I rent on E. Baltimore
St. I got some people interested
in going down to their commu-
nity action agency. But people
don't want to hear about what
you're doing. I went and talked
to one of my teachers in social
psychology. He had a complete-
ly sterile attitude. He didn't want
to hear what was going on. He
wanted to know that when you
push a button here what's your
reaction there. They don't want
to hear it. And you don't want
to tell.

Mike was beginning a career in
the theater when he volunteered
to serve with VISTA for a year.
With three one-act plays produced
off -Broad way and his poetry pfub-
lished in the Atlantic, National
Poetry Review and Kenyon Re-
view, he was leading what he
describes as "a comfortable life."
"But," the VISTA said, "I was
never aware of how ugly poverty
could be until I saw it while sta-
tioned in New York City with
the Army. There was a question,
a challenge. I couldn't turn my
back on it. I was restless until I
joined VISTA.
"Every day I say to myself that
I'm going home. But I know I
won't because there's something
here to be done, and that was my
purpose in coming."

from $50 to $100, will be dis-
tributed equally among the wom-

Another group in Kentucky,
The Grassroots Craftsmen of the
Appalachian Mountains, also be-
gan selling quilts, but has expand-
ed to include other native handi-
crafts: carved dolls, handmade
furniture and hooked and braid-
ed rugs.
The group encompasses three
counties, Breathitt, Wolfe, and
Lee, and was organized by VIS-
TA Volunteer Mike Reuss and
the treasurer of the Grassroots
Citizens Committee for Action,
Nancy Cole.
"It's just now getting to be a
cooperative," said Mrs. Cole. "It's
getting so big it had to be one.
We have 50 people — 40 of them
making quilts."
Reuss, a 21 year old from Stan-
ford University, and Mrs. Cole
feel that the project is very bene-
ficial to the people involved. "One
woman, before I got a hold of
her, had done 23 quilts," Mrs.
Cole said. "She was only paid $5
for each quilt."
To avoid a situation where
women earn the money and the
man is made to feel useless, the
Grassroots group has expanded
its scope.
"The only way to keep the men
from feeling left out is not to

claims that this is valuable not
only because it provides employ-

young men to learn from handi-
craftsmen who have done this
type of thing for a long time."
The Quilting Bee, which Kobak
helped establish, has filled ten

another $1,000. They also have
quilts and dolls on sale at the
Smithsonian Institution in Wash-

cently exhibited at the Berea, Ky.,

However, both Reuss and Ko-
bak said that most orders so far
have been from friends. And, un-
til they can complete the bro-
chures and raise money to adver-
tise, newer and wider markets
aren't likely to be touched. Both
of the young men feel that it
would be a good idea to link up
the Appalachian VISTAs' handi-
craft cooperatives into one major
group.
"However," said Kobak, "it
would have to evolve from the
people themselves. The coopera-
tive is a good form of community
action and we don't want the peo-
ple to feel forced into a larger
group, to feel that they're work-
ing for a 'boss' outside the com-
munity the way the local miners
feel.
"This group has been good be-
cause the people have discovered
that something could be theirs,
that they didn't have to rely on an
'outside boss'."
THE LEHERBOX:
The following is excerpted from a letter to VISTA from
Kathie Schmidt, 22, who trained for service under the
Community Service Foundation in Tallevast, Fla., and
went to work in Anton Chico and Villanueva, New
Mexico.
''This is not a glory story, but the hard-faced truth about
real poverty in this nation and what VISTAs are accom-
plishing— and failing — to do.
"One year in the Anton Chico area was not nearly
enough to instigate all the projects that were possible.
The area is populated with home-based migrants. People
who have their permanent homes in one area, but who
take their children out of school and leave to go wherever
the jobs may be. They hoe, pick, irrigate, and run tractors
for farmers in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming
and Utah.
"My main concern was helping them while they were
home. I never started a project that was not asked for by
the people. I never forced my beliefs on them . . . They
are the best judges as to their needs and wants. These
people are not welfare seekers as many outsiders believe.
". . . Ninety-nine percent of these people have worked
hard all their lives. They farm their own land and they
work for others, but because of their inadequate educa-
tion, their strangling ties with a local power structure,
abnormally high food prices, and unknowledgeable
opportunities, they are poor. It must be made clear that
they are only poor educationally and economically. They
are rich in culture, simplicity and faith. Believe it or not,
they never asked for money, but what they did ask for
were simple things that most people today take for
granted . . .
"I instigated the organization of a community water
association so that the people could obtain a well and
not have to use ditch water. Once the association was
well on its way the people took over and helped themselves.
"I also ran a recreation program during the summer
for the children so they could learn how to play and to
play with other children. The teenagers ui the area were
not juvenile delinquents, but they would have been if they
lived in the city. Their only activity was riding around and
getting drunk. They expressed a need and desire for a
club and recreation center. I helped them organize a teen
club which didn't work out, and I began projects for them
such as dances, raffles, and a newspaper. I tried to teach
them first-aid and etiquette and grooming centered around
their way of life, not that of the middle-class ... I also
helped the local school with their lunch program. I tutored
a remedial reading class besides holding study sessions at
night.
"After my first year in VISTA I was transferred to the
Villanueva area, basically the same in characteristics and
population as Anton Chico. My projects included a suc-
cessful teen club and an adult literacy class. I also worked
closely with a local school in organizing a 4-H club, help-
ing to get their basketball court renovated and helping
the area to obtain telephone service.
"All of these projects exemplify what every other VISTA
is fundamentally doing whether they are working with
Indians, migrants, the mentally ill, Negroes, or in rural or
urban areas.
". . . My failure with the teen club in Anton Chico
was due to the fact that I did not possess authoritative
power which the teens needed since it was lacking at the
home level. I identified with them too much and let them
take advantage of me and my home. Even though they
liked me and supported and trusted me they did not respect
me, so the club failed and I was the one responsible for
it. However, I learned from this and organized another
teen club in Villanueva which was successful.
"VISTAs fail and they succeed, but with success they
must be able to accept hardships which they have not
known before. VISTAs must live like the poor, in broken
down houses, without running water, without transporta-
tion, using privies and not having any money.
"Not all of us experience all of these things but we do
experience some, otherwise we could not start to know
the problems of the poor. I personally did not live in a
broken down shack, but I did work without transportation
for nine months. I also learned how to live on the income
of a migrant and how to buy cheap foods and how to keep
from going hungry . .. .
"VISTA is being awakened at night to deliver a baby.
It is also going to meetings into all hours of the night.
VISTA is listening to people's problems and visiting them
often so they know you are interested in them. It is also
trying to speak their language, trying over and over no
matter how often they laugh at you . . . VISTA is when
the people don't want you to leave.
"This is VISTA. I have loved my work, but most of all
I love the people I have worked with and have tried to
help. What is most gratifying is that these same people
feel the same about me ... In VISTA I have learned
more about people, poverty and sociology than I did in
my three years of college.
"I entered VISTA because I love people and I wanted
to help where help was needed. I have helped some, but
I have gained more. This is me as a VISTA and there
are many more like me."

Married
Couples
Growing
Maryville College is changing,
and one of the ways in which
it is changing is in the increas-
ing number of married students.
In 1966 this trend was recognized
and Sigma Mu Chi (Greek initials
for "Student Married Couples")
was formed with the expressed
purpose of meeting some of the
unique needs of this growing
I group.
All married students and their
spouses at Maryville College are
automatically included in the
membership of the organization
land may obtain "active" status
I by payment of annual dues which
are one dollar per couple. Active
I membership privileges include
voting and eligibility to hold office
within the group. An activities
card which admits a non-student
spouse to all Maryville College
home athletic events is also in-
I eluded.
The group is usually well re-
I presented at campus activities
and meetings. In addition to the
Student Council representativQi
Dave Messinger; Student Council
President Bruce Semple, and
IVice president Dave Maxwell are

Dr. Frank M. Cross, Jr., Mary-
ville College class of 1942, and
now Professor of Hebrew and
other Oriental Languages and
Chairman of the Department of
Near Eastern Languages and Li-
terature at Harvard University,
returned to Maryville to make two
public addresses and have his
alma mater confer an honorary
degree of Doctor of Letters upon
him.
Monday night, October 7, at
8:15 p,m. in the Maryville College
Theatre, Dr. Cross spoke about,
"Recent Research in the Dead
Sea scrolls." He has been a
member of the International Staff
for editing the Dead Sea Scrolls
since 1953. He has also published
"The Dead Sea Scrolls" in the
Interpreter's Bible, Volume XII.
Tuesday morning, October 8,
Community Issues and Values
included a formal academic oc-
casion, that of granting an honor-
ary degree of the Doctor of
Letters on Dr. Cross.
Dr. Cross then spoke on "Grace
and Law in the Faith of Ancient
Israel." He spoke about the tra-
ditional problems of doctrine of
law as over against salvation by
faith. He brought it to the con-
temporary scene by developing
its meaning by law and justice in
the present society.
Dr. Cross is author of "The
Ancient Library of Qumran and
Modem Biblical Studies" (1958)
and the co-author of "Early He-
brew Orthography" (1952). He

EDITORIAL
The McCarthyite witch hunts during the Eisenhower years were
a terrible blight upon American History. McCarthy sQcceeded in
terrorizing the American liberal into silent consent. I am not so
sure that this would be the case today.
There is reason to consider this possibility. Law and order is
now a pagan idol worshiped by the majority of the people in our
country. TTiis is, law and order, separated from justice, a term
rarely used by the present majority leaders. A new witch hunt
is beginning. But unlike McCarthy's days of slander the vocal
and humanist minority is much larger. They must not keep
silent. HUAC must now Contend with not 81 names but literally
thousands v^th possibly millions in symjwithy. It has been proven
ifi recent years t^ this mindrtiy cannot be silenced and sup-
^ess€d by a; violisit power base inter©:i;ted in controlling the
STATUS QU0 »l, '^le c#« 0^ hj>lT!an dignity.^ The violence of
♦;d|||^ression isnow i»WinKmet by the counter-violence of protest.
I^jbIw can we be Sl^rtwfi? when a group of liuman beings are
neglected and df^r«ssed Ijy society, that group feels no justice
in following the cishstralnts of the society* TTie minority now
DEMANDS that in their own home they must have a say in their
own control. In a democracy that must be demand. In a facist or
totalitarian state the dissenting minority must be silent or be
beaten or die. Never in America?
We must re-evaluate our standards and our scheme of justice
in our society. Democracies should not have civil wars and a
civil war in our democracy would mean the termination of the
great American experiment that has yet to conclude. Why must
we react violently to dissent? If we are just or are to find
justice we cannot afford fear. Or are we indeed finding justice
uneconomical. When will our prophet arise and cast out our
golden calf and replace it with humane and JUST social order.

In the first "recognitions" I wrote for the ECHO I promised to
tell it "how it is from here." Since that time I have dealt with
political matters only— perhaps a waste of effort, since the
cheapest of campus commodities is the amateur self-styled
political expert. This time I want to return to what Is most
important: another attempt at genuine communication. No party,
nor creed, nor candidate, nor proposal, nor philosophy. Just
some statements in the form of year-old poetry, an attempt to
reach out and emphasize that behind the smokescreen of doctrine
abd rhetoric there must be belief, a belief in love. Love. Concern
iitrfa^t^rs. Love. Cheap, trite, syrupy, emotional, fiut also real.

and now,"
Dag Hammerskjold
Dear Sir,
While Mr. Stiles* point that pep
rallies at Maryville are not well
received by the student body is
generally accepted, his slur on
the band is not appreciated by the
members of that organization and
should not be accepted.
The band practices marching
and playing five or six hours a
week— in the hot sun or what-
ever sort of weather we have
that day — and attends every pep
rally, every home game, and at
least one of the away games, We
give up our practice time that
could be used in preparing a
better concert, which many of us
would prefer, to be ready to
strengthen our school spirit. In
addition there is the amount of
time we spend individually prac-
ticing and memorizing our music.
All of this is basically a thank-
less labor. How may times have
you congratulated the band on a
difficult half-time show well ex-
ecuted?
About the band spending "more
time going and coming": We
are upholding a school tradi-
tion by marching to the bonfire
when most of us would rather
quietly appear, play, and dis-
perss... less time consuming.
Perhaps, if the band's per-
formance is so painful to Mr.
Stiles, he would rather we did-
n't show up at all...lxit then
have you ever tried to sing en
mass without accompaniment or
heard those cheers with the sixty-
plus bandsmen's voices absent
and no drums?
Sincerely, Marty Monroe

With you I feel
shy
as an object must when taken to the light

So I am lifted,
turned in your frightened hands,

I am frozen dumb
and sit quiet as a thing,
awed to feel the marvel
that I exist, by chance,
only in your eyes.

To the editor:
I would like to put in a word for
the band regarding the sports
editorial in the October 9 issue
of the ECHO. I am not complain-
ing or trying to elicit sympathy;
if I did not enjoy being in the
band I would quit promptly.
However, as it is difficult to
see hard work put into some-
thing I consider worthwhile dis-
missed so peremptorally, I would
like to bring up a few points Mr.
Stiles does not seem to have con-
sidered in writing his article.
Most of us appreciate the time
put in by the football team and
the cheerleaders. The band prac-
tices a minimum of four and a
hliU hours a week. Each piece of
%v|sic played must be memo-
''\-4-iied, entailing additional prac-
tiVe time for every member. On
■fK
* , nights of a ball game band mem-
^ bers. wh#it with donning uniforms
;i>s»(* complicated operation, espe-
^ifidfy for us lucky ones who wear
kilts), being thirty minutes early
In order to warm up and march to
the field, and marching out of the
stadium after the game, donate
about four hours of their time to
the cause of school spirit,
Mr. Stiles points out that pep
rallies only take ten minutes of
study time. Band members are
required to be at the Fine Arts
Center fifteen minutes early. In
order to get to the Fine Arts
Center and assemble an instru-
ment, one must quit studying at
least an additional fifteen minutes
before the pep rally begins. By
the time we have marched to the
Scene (a tradition of which we
are not fond but which was insti-
tuted, I am told, as a means of
letting the rest of the campus
know that a pep rally is impend-
ing) contributed our small, un-
appreciated part (thirty people
really do not make that much
difference in the throngs that
usually attend pep rallies),
marched to the dismissal point,
put aw^y our instruments, and re-
turned to our books, a good hour
is shot. An hour of study time, to
some people, is valuable.
Perhaps eleven and a half hours
a week (four and a half hours
rehearsal time, two hours memo-
rizing music, four hours at a
game, and one at a pep rally)
is not much time rn contribute
to school spirit, but I venture to
hope that the band helps a little.
Next term the band will prepare
two concerts. Many of us would
prefer to be preparing them now;
however, one must take the bitter
with the sweet. I regret to learn
that Mr. Stiles may not nave time
to come to them, but I realize
that a total of two and a half
hours spent at band concerts out
of nine months could be a terrific
hindrance to the furtherance of
his education.
Respectfully yours, Deual Elam
Open Letter
An Open Letter to Dr. Copeland
and the Powers That Be
Gentlemen (and, no doubt. La-
dies),
You were undoubtedly concerned
by the caustic remarks in Mo-
Master's column October 2, r«»
garding some of the rnanypre^a*
rations, rumc^iKl uvd r^ftl, for
the great year of 1^. Apfrtw- '
ently McMtster hasn't beard (he
latest cute maneuver, the elabo-
rate academic mace tb«t isbeJlig'
designed and ccmstructed for iise
in academic ceremonles-*or he
would have attacked that too.
I would like to impress you with
the fact that his statements are
an accurate reflection of the
sentiments of a large part of the
students, who are frequently a-
mused and often repulsed at the
College's "cuddly ways." I real-
ize that your generation has a
hang-up with tangible symbols
such as Anderson tower and the
Great Scot, and that to you an
archives building is perfectly
logical. But there are many of
us' ^o would like to see the
College symbolized by less tangi-
ble but more important things
such as an atmosphere of free
and creative thought and con-
structive interchange of ideas,
leading toward concerned action.
Building an archives building is
looking to the past, which in our
case is mainly a waste of time
and money. That time and money,
it seems, will be infinitely better
spent on equipment for the sci-
ence center or the projected
athletic complex or the new li-
brary ~C.I,V, speakers-' books —
and records for the FAC library-
teachers' salaries!!— or even
such mundane unspectacular
comforts as trays for the dining
room and new beds for Pearsons,
Memorial, and Carnegie.
We admit it will be difficult
(but not impossible) to impress
wealthy alumni with this sort
of nonsense. Perhaps it would
be more effective to erect a
sort of Temple to Benefactors,
with bronze plaques and oil por-
traits in honor of Those Who
Give Money. That would certainly
impress them, but it wouldn't
have much to do with our educa-
tion, which, after all, is the main
point„.I think...isn't it...? May
I remind you that all of us will
be alumni shortly --some of us
very shortly — and that more of
us than ever will have money,
in the very important and not-so-
far-away future. I for one will
be very careful to specify how
my gift to the College should be
spent!
If you really want to have an
archives building, add a wing to
the new library — perhaps that
will be incentive to build it as
soon as possible i

Mr* Jiipa ^otts, c/o General
delivery, Univ. of Ibadan, Ibadan,
Nigeria
Dear Friends:
This letter is from Jim Spotts,
a Maryville College junior now
studying in Nigeria, Jim spent
the summer at the Adura River
Station in Ethiopia receiving
partial financial support from
Maryville's "Hope for Interna-
tional Understanding".
Adura is just another river that
helps to drain the soggy moun-
tainous country of Ethiopia; in
the rainy season, only different
in that here it isn't always soggy
or ever mountainous on these
plains which jut west into Sudan
like a large wart. It's terrain
is more like Sudan than Ethiopia-
flat grassland spotted with bush-
es, anthills, and clusters or round
mud-walled thatch-roofed tukels.
The people too are largely Sud-
anese, and part of one of the larg-
est African tribes, the Nuers,
They live at an unhurried pace
under a huge, hot sun which gives
them their uninteresting diet of
com, maize, milk and occasion-
ally fish or meat. All are self-
sufficient, independent farmers,
with most the burden on the
women. There is no marketing
within forty miles, but a few
things are sold randomly.
The mission itself covers an
area of what would be 1/2 a city
block. That includes an airstrip,
missionary home, clinic, school,
church, & staff houses for clinic
and teichers. It's a small mis-
sion, 1 ut the clinic draws people
from Miles around as well as a
non-profit store which is open
once a week, selling porcelain
pans, I'lastic thongs, strings of
beads ^ nd muot other essaitials
including v^ite cloth, gas lan-
terns, padlocks, soap and Ceylon
tea.
The job the two of us (Jim was
with another college student from
Kansas) were given was to keep
the grounds maintained while the
missionary couple were on fur-
lough and to build a new staff
house. The staff house is com-
plete and is a fine job of learn-
as-you -do-it craftmanship. Top-
ped with a light aluminum roof,
which is covering more and more
African heads all through Ethi-
opia, the building should stand up
for many years against the archi-
tictural enemies~rain and ter-
mites.
Missionaries have become an
object of criticism in colleges,
novels and a few more-conscien-
tious churches. My being here
comes from my own curiosity of
the same I find the missionary
to be an intelligent, open-minded,
un-naive, man of world experi-
ence and world concern with a
commitment to the traditional
teaching of Jesus and his disci-
ples. He is aware of arguments
against him, he has read Mich-
enor's Hawaii, and he is skilled
in his field, whether it be medi-
cine, theology, agriculture, or
construction, teaching, or sew-
ing. The missionary is a catalyst
to the internal development and
unity of these growing and di-
versified nations. He does what
he can to love Jiis western way
of life in a country that doesn't
know nWtors, J electricity, con-
c1?«te, and st«rfio, and will not
know them in their own homes
perhaps in their lif<f-time. Con -
sequentiy he separates himself
in his Itttle Eiifope .wbiqh forces
all his Contacts to be made from
level to level instead of man to
man. As a result, the native feels
he has to beg, borrow or steal
and die white man feels everyone
is out to get him. This strangled
relationship with the people is
what the missionary often sacri-
fices when he insists on hie old
ways of living. It's hard to love
someone when he continually
clamors for work, for favors or
for money. It wasn't till the
missionary returned from his
furlough (Jim and his fri^d had
been maintaining the missionary
station for the summer while the
missionary couple took a vaca-
tion) that I saw how this gap
could be bridged by love. I won-
der if this wasn't more the ex-
ception than the mode. Whether
the Church should send its am-
bassadors to live in grass houses
or little plantations is a big
question, both have their good
and bad,
,., Are Christians raising an
African church which will be as
constrained and restricted and
as separate from people's real
lives as the church is in Bible-
belt Tennessee? These questions
need real thought and study. We
must learn to confront the mis-
sionary and Africa intelligently.

up," she laughs.
Interested in all aspects of the
theater, Sue played the part of
Simonne Evard in last week's
production of "Marat Sade." She
finds character roles most chal-
lenging and fun.Sue meets a chal
lenge well each time, as anyone
who has seen last week's drama
or last spring's "Barefoot in the
Park" can attest.
Immediate future plans may in-
clude graduate school or work in
some form of publications or
communications. Sue plans to use
her English major in an editing
or writing capacity.
Currently doing her special stu-
dies on Mark Twain, Sue has on %
her wall a formidable picture of
the gentleman, presumably giv-
ing her inspiration.
Sue thinks that this Homecoming
is going to be very successful
and urges everyone to come to the
game. Our team will be doing
their best, and the band has
prepared a "really great" half-
time show.
"This year a lot more people are
coming back that I know," says
Sue, "and I'm really looking
forward to Homecoming and see-
ing them all again."
This year, also, is the first
time that the band sponsor was
nominated by the four classes
instead of by the societies. The
Highlander Band then voted on
the four nominees. Also nominat-
ed were Sally Green, Noreen
Bovis, and Mary Jane Schussler.
The band hopes to make this
method of nomination by classes
a tradition at Mary ville from now
on.

••THE SECRET OF SPIRO T; AGNEW.^' By Arthur Hoppe
Herewith is another unwirtten chapter of history froni "The
Making of a Loser— 1968." Its title: "The Secret of Spiro T.
Agnew."
At the time, Richard Nixon's selection of Spiro T, Agnew, a
Greek-Amerifcan, as his running mate appeared a master stroke
designed to unify the ethnic minorities. And unify them Agnew did.
The campaign was but a week old when he unified all Polish-
Americans by calling them ••Polacks." And hardly had the furor
died down than on a visit to Hawaii he unified its large Japanese-
American population by referring to a reporter a,s a '•fat J4p."
At first, political observers charitably, ascribed these gaffes
to one of three theories: Agnew was (1) inexperienced ip politics,
(2) an idiot or (3) an inexperienced idiot.
But such theories failed to hold water when Agnew went on,
early in October, to refer to Mao-Tse-tung as •'a chink in the
enemy's armor" and followed this a week later with an address
to the NAACP entitled "Let's Call a Spade a Spade." Which he did.
It was not until the campaign ended that the truth was revealed:
the real Spiro T. Agnew had been kidnaped m Miami and a
character actor named Hartingford Grommet had taken his place!
This political coup was the work, of course, of none other than
Dick Tuck, the Democratic masterly.
••It was easy," said Tuck modestly. "The moment I heard
Nixon had chosen Spiro T, Agnew, I called Central Casting and
ordered a florid, silver-haired type who looked like a Vice
President, They sent me Grommet and we made the switch,"
But did Grommet look like Agnew? %
Tuck seemed surprised. *'Who ever knew what Agnew looked
like?" he said.
The rest is history. Some felt Agnew-Grommet's joke about
"this Wop admiral who bought a glass-bottomed boat to review
the fleet" might have drawn a few laughs~if he hadn't picked the
Italo-Americans Columbus Day Banquet at which to deliver it.
His choice of Northern Maine for a lecture on the joys of
frog sticking was also questioned. And he chose a B'nai Brith
Luncheon to deplore •'vicious attacks against my kike friends."
In Minnesota, he confused "honkies" and "hunkies," And in
El Paso he shook hands with a Mexican -American service
station attendant lubricating a car and asked how he liked ••being
a greaser."
By election eve, the Nixon campaign was a shambles. In
desperation,. Agnew-Grommet was given a half hour of prime
time to explain his position.
He opened by saying he was sorry if he had offended anyone.
And lie devoted the remaining 28 minutes to a single sentence
which began, ••Why some of my best friends are Polacks,
Japs, Chinks, Spades, Wops, Frogs,- Kikes, Hunkies, Greasers,
Limeys, Micks, Bohunks, Mackeral Snappers, Squareheads,
Spicks,..
A few historians stubbornly have refused to accept that A^new
was actually a plant by the Danocrats. But ±ey never have come
up with any other ±eory ±at would adequately explain the odd
manner in \^lch he waged his campaign.
In any event, all agreed that ,he was the first candidate in
history to unify the Nation, •* For the wonderful thing about this
country," as one historian musingly put it, ''is that there's
nobody here but us Polacks, Japs, Chinks, Spades, Wops...

Tomorrow the Scots face Frank-
lin in the annual Homecoming
football game. It will be the Scots'
third home game and seventh
scheduled game of the season.
There are ten scheduled games,
with only two home games
against Millsaps (Nov. 2) and
Southwestern (Nov, 16) and an
away game against Carson-New-
man (Nov. 9) remaining.
The Franklin Grizzlies come
from Franklin, Indiana. Their
college has an enrollment of 670.
They did not play Maryville last
year, and wound up their season
with a 6-3-0 record.
The Homecoming game prom-
ises to be one of the most ex-
citing games of this season. Our
boys have been working hard at
trying to combine their efforts
to make a winning team. The
defensive team has been strong,
and the offensive team has
shown continued improvement.
Against Emory and Henry they
scored 21 points-an achievement
which we have not seen since
1964. The team is due for a win
this year, and it looks like this
will be one.
The team will play its best,
and the band will too, so how
•bout it gang? Let's all get down
to the field Saturday. Kick-off
time is 2:30. See y'all there 1
Science Foundation
Fellowships
Washington, D.C.— The National
Research Council has been called
upon again to advise the National
Science Foundation in the selec-
tion of candidates for the Founda-
tion's program of graduate and
regular postdoctoral fellowships.
Panels of outstanding scientists
appointed by the Research Coun-
cil will evaluate applications of
all candidates. Final selection
will be made by the Foundation,
with awards to be announced pn
March 15. i969.
Graduate fellowships will be
awarded for study in the mathe-
matical, frfiysical, medical, bio-
logical, engineering, and social
sciences, and in the history and
philosophy of science. Awards
will not be made in clinical,
education, or business fields, nor
for .work toward medical or law
degrees. Application may be
made by college seniors and
graduate students working toward
a degree.
Postdoctoral awards arec^nto
individuals for study or work in
the mathematical, physical, med-
ical, biological, engineering, and
social sciences, and in the history
and philosophy of science. Ap-
plied and empirical studies m the
field of law which employ the
methodology of the social sci-
ences or which interrelate with
research in the natural or social
sciences may be proposed. A-
wards will not be made in cli-
nical, education, or business
fields. Applicants must have
earned, by the beginning of their
fellowship tenure, a doctoral de-
gi^ee in one of the fields of sci-
ence listed above or have had
research training and experience
equivalent to that represented by
such a degree. In both programs,
all applicants must be citizens of
the United States and will be judg-
ed solely on the basis of ability.
Applicants for the graduate a-
wards will be required to take the
Graduate Record Examinations
designed to test scientific apti-
tude and achievement. Tlfe ex-
aminations, administered by the
Educational Testing Service, will
be given on January 18, 1969, at
designated centers throughout the
United States and in certain for-
eign countries.

The spirit was high for the
Scotties Saturday night, though we
were defeated by Emory & Henry
by a score of 50-21. The Scots
scored in the opening four plays
of the game on a hand-off from
quarterback Dave Gamer to
freshman halfback Rich. Snyder,
and an extra point kick by Jim

The Wasps came back and
scored but the Scots prevented
their two-point converijion at-
tempt. Things began to look
brighter when the Scots' Terry
Cox intercepted an Emory &
Henry pass for another T.D. But
it was in the second quarter when
the Wasps exploded with four
touchdowns. Each team scored
once in the fourth quarter.
Make no mistake. The Scots
played a tough game and gave
undefeated Emory & Henry a
battle for every yard.
The E & H team consists pre-
dominantly of seniors, while our
starting unit consists of three
freshmen and other underclass-
men. The Scotties offer no excuse
but lack of experience. The po-
tential is there. All it needs is
maturation.

Highlights
The Maryville College cross-
country team fell just shy of
victory Saturday morning on its
home course despite great in-
dividaul efforts by Dave Wiley,
Jim Buxton and Henry Hastings,
Wiley finished with a sizzling
:ime of 18:40 for the 3.7 mile
course while Buxton, in spite of
a fall, came in eighth, with team-
mate Hastings ninth. Wiley was
unable to gain the lead until after
three miles, at which point he
began building up a commanding
lead and won going away. Bryan
College still managed to take sev-
en of the first ten places to win
the meet. The Scots have a ten-
tative meet with Milligan before
traveling to Middle Tennessee
State for the TIAC state meet.

SUTTON'S GIFT PUSHES 150 FUND OVER MILLION MARK

Additional
$250,000
A student at Warren Wilson
College in Swannanoa,, North
Carolina received a letter from
home. This is usually a happy
time, especially for a foreign
student, which he is. This time,
it wasn't. This was the first
letter he had received for 15
months. It was from his mother.
His father, a moderately wealthy
business man, was wiped out.
His family was homeless. Three
of his brothers were dead. His
favorite brother was missing and
presumed dead. Everyone was
hungry all the time.
This boy is an Ibo. He comes

Knoxville. Tenn. (CPS)-Georgia
legislator Julian Bond, scheduled
to address University of Tenn-
essee students October 2, re-
fused to appear in Knoxville be-
cause students there had been
forbidden to invite CHck Gregory
to the campus a week earlier,
"If the chancellor of the univer-
sity ±inks the students are too
simple-minded to hear Gregory,
they are obviously too simple-
minded to hear me,** Bond said
when he discovered he had been
invited in Gregory*s place, ''I
certainly don't want to poison
student minds,**
Chancellor Charles H. Weaver
had denied a student speaker* s
program permission to invite
Gregory, saying he had "nothing
to say to the University com-
munity** and that his appearance
would be "an outrage and an in-
sult to many citizens of this
state,**
About Bond's cancellation.
Weaver only said, "I am sorry
that he is not coming.*'
"It*s not a matter of Gregory
himself," Bond said, "It*s a
matter of students* being allow-
ed to make their own decisions.
I wouldn't care if it were Harry
Truman or George Wallace being
denied permission. The issue
would be the same — freedom of
choice,"
Bond, v^^o was nominated for the
Vice-Presidency at last month's
Democratic National Convention
and later withdrew because he
was too young, compared the UT
administration censorship with
that of other Tennessee schools,
where Gregory and other contro-
versial speakers had been in-
vited to campus freely.

student organization could invite
any speaker to campus — has been

region which recently declared
independence and then was
crushed, Biafra. This boy can't
return; he would be killed. This
boys family might be killed at
any time, and he can't stop it.
This boy's family is hungry, his
friends and neighbors are starv-
ing, and he can't help. All that's
left for him is to go to class, and
to cry.
Americans have a disease. J
call it "news-report saturation".
We hear that 10,000 Ibos a week
die of starvation. We respond with
a shrug. It means very little.
It's a "fact", we can't alter it,
so we forget about it, saying,
"Too bad," and feeling morally
absolved of responsibility.
We are not absolved of that
responsibility so long as there
is one thing left which we can do,
and in this case, there is. The
case I speak of is that of the
refugees, all refugees, of the
Nigerian Civil War. The war is
over militarily. Whether it was
right or wrong matters very
little. What matters is that thou-
sands and thousands are home-
less, destitute, starving. Starva-
tion kills as well, but more pain-
fully, than bullets. It's slow. It
literally kills you from the inside
out. It is the greatest killer of
the war, and it goes on killing
now after men have ended killing.
A UCM committee isnowplann-
ing a Biafran Fast Day. Maryville
students will be asked not to go
to the dining hall for three meals
on that day. It will be voluntary.
It will cost you nothing but a little
hunger, and what is one day's
hunger in comparison to what is
common in Nigeria, You will
feel it gnaw at you, but you will
know that the next day, it will be
over. But, with the money saved
by this, possibly some people,
who you don't know since they're
just news-reports, will be able
to know that some day soon, that
same gnawing will be ended for
them too. james L. Showalter

Mr, Algie Sutton
The Makmg of an Echo
The following article is to in-
form the community, students,
faculty, and even board members,
who do not know the problems of
publishing The Highland Echo.
The problems of publishing the
Echo are many. It is hoped that
the reader will take note of the
problems and take them into
consideration.
The Echo is a weekly newspaper
distributed every Wednesday.
The deadlines are every Monday,
a week before the distributing
Wednesday, That is nine days
before the distribution. This
makes it VERY difficult to keep
the news current and it means that
the staff must be notified or find
potential news at times two weeks
ahead of publication. This means
that the many contributing mem-
.bers of the community MUST no-
tify the paper in order to give
proper and current coverage.
(i,e, theatre, athletic dept., etc.)
With our limited staff (we want
more who are willing to work
in any of our departments) we
cannot be expected to be able to
cover EVERY news story. We
must be contacted in order to
print what to many members of
the community may be important.
Every dead-line Monday means
that the editor must collect all
the news from his editors and the
services, the college information
service, and news releases from
hundreds of private sources. He
then edits the material and de-
cides how to set them in column
width.
On Tuesday he takes them to
the publisher. The Maryville
Enterprise, and has the type set
and galley proofs made. They
are proof read on Wednesday
and on Thursday the lay-out staff
(Ann's Army) makes the paste-
ups of the paper. This means the
galley proofs are pasted on sheets
of paper and laid out much the
same as it will appear on the
finished copy. Photographs are
reduced or blown -up as well as
drawings, and then the headlines
are arranged and set. It is then
taken to the printer on Friday
and photographed and a plate is
made from it to be used for
printing.
On Tuesday the printing of 1,000
papers is done and then on
Wednesday they are distributed
at the College or are mailed out.
There is a remarkable lapse of
time between the dead-line and
distribution, but short of having
our own printing plant or having
a large plant in the area (\^^o
would have to print within our
limited budget, a budget we would
like doubled in order to give
Maryville College a REAL news-
paper) this is the most efficient
system Maryville College's
Highland Echo has ever had.
The staff puts in many hours a
week and the editor can put from
20 to 30 hours a week to produce
just one paper. Of course that
includes writing, editing, seeing
that news and advertising comes
in, laying out the paper , and
even time defending the team
effort put into publishing it. Of

A gift of $250,000 by Maryville
College alumnus Algie Sutton
pushed the total contributions to
the 150 Fund over the million
dollar mark. Sutton is serving
as General Chairman of the 150
Fund. This generous gift was
reported to the college's Devel-
opment Council by President
Joseph J. Copeland.
Dr. Copeland, in announcing the
gift, said, "We are deeply indebt-
ed to Algie and Elizabeth Sutton
for their most generous pledge.
It is the third time in the last
four years that they have given
the College a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars. It sets the pace for
the type of giving it will take if
we are to reach our stated ob-
jective of $3,000,000 bv the clos-
ing of the Sesquicentennial Cele-
bration in June, 1970. We need
more alumni and friends to follow
in their footsteps."
Gifts and pledges to the 150
Fund total $1,028,789 as of Sep-
tember 30. The campaign will
continue through June, 1970, with
the hope that $3,000,000 in new
funds will be realized by then. In
essence, the College will be out
to raise a million dollars a year
for the next three years.
Alumni participation has been
encouraging, Over 5,000 alumni
have been solicited, and 550
pledges have been received. In
the last campaign, 39% of the
alumni contributed $173,365
which represented an all-time
high for Maryville. The college is
currently redoubling its efforts to
match or exceed the alumni giving
of the last campaign.
An intensive mail campaign will
be conducted this fall in an effort
to interest more alumni and
friends to subscribe by making a
three-year pledge. When they
make a pledge it will be for
capital expansion as well as cur-
rent operating funds. It has al-
ready been suggested to the
alumni that they consider a pledge
of $150 a year for three years.
This represents a dollar a year
for each year the College will
have been in existence in 1970,
the Sesquicentennial year.
If the College's overall ob-
jective is attained, it will bring
the Sesquicentennial Develop-
ment Program to a record high
of $12,000,000 raised during the
last decade.

EDITORIAL
This was going to be my editorial supporting a presidential
candidate. But something more pressing has come up. (More
pressing than our next president?)
The Community Council concept is the most progressive and
enlightening idea that Maryville College has come up with in
years. It will make our college unique in a nation of progressive
and interesting educational institutions. But the concept must
be carried out in the practical mechanics as well as in philosophy.
There has been an attitude of making a democracy in our
community, yet in the "tentative" (oh, how often have we heard
that word) plan some are more equal than others. Then we hear
that maybe this isn't a democracy, but this is the closest we can
get to it. (See the Student Council report, page 1). We can't
settle for an imperfect democracyl ALL of us, think of it, ALL
of us have a great deal in this school, either for a living, security
or a SOUND academic degree.
We also hear that it will operate much like our national
government. Yet it is elementary that there are three INDEPEND-
ENT powers, judicial, executive, and legislative. In the "tentative"
plans the executive has a 1/3 interest in the legislative branch
and has technical veto power over the judicial system. If we are
to remain true to the impressive philosophy there must be a
redefinition of the executive powers. This means a possible
change in the college by-laws. So be it.
Did you know that a secretary from the administration can
sit on the council and it may be that a full professor and depart-
ment head may not be eligible because of the inequitable ap-
portionment of the faculty representation. If two faculty re-
presentatives are to be of ten years service or over that will
mean that there will not be any representatives from Foreign
Languages, Philosophy and Religion, any of the Sciences (in-
cluding Psychology), Education, Sociology, and Political Science.
The chances for the department heads of these departments to
be elected become progressivly weaker due to larger selection.
There are only seven who fit in the ten year or over catagory.
Yet a secretarv who mav have arrived at Maryville one year ago
can get elected. Fair? This is faculty representation and the
ratio with student seniors is irrevelant! (No, I have nothing
against secretaries.)
There are more inequities. If we are to use the fine philosophy
and concept it would be plain hypocracy to leave it in practice.
It makes a fine sounding philosophy become just plain garbage.
That is, if it is not put in practice, material that can be tossed
away.
There are more, but yes, it is hard to get information. (Even
some of the coordinating committee members have had the
honesty to admit they don't completely understand what is
happening.) Please, committee members, please don't sit back
and float with the tide. We have to know what is happening. The
attitude of some of the members that printing information in the
Echo may create rumor is odios to say the least. Fact printed
as fact even if "tentative" is still printed fact. (Regardless
of the opinion of some members on the effectivness of the Echo.
There is room for communication in this paper. There ARE
good things printed in it.) How democratic is it to hide the
proceedings from the community ultimately effected, or is
it again secret keeping time.
Oh well, about the presidential race. The qualifications are
that he be 35 years old and a natural born citizen. b.c.

LORD of
the DANCE
0 Lord, our messages are mud-
dled, our minds are messed-up,
our compasses point at our-
selves, and our super-highways
dead-end into brick walls. Hear
us as we pray out of our despera-
tion and despair.
We offer Thanksgiving baskets,
hand-me downs, care packages
when we know we should offer
power, votes, and free trade. How
long will we continue to salve
our consciences? When will we
realize that our lip-service to
love and brotherhood is hollow
without justice?
We have made our institutions
into instruments of death. Tech-
nology is our god and General
Motors is our prophet. We have
sold our souls for respectability
and education. Our colleges and
universities have become facto-
ries for puppets who spew for±
knowledge but know no commit-
ment or humanity. We build our
academic, scholarly walls to
shelter us from the world's suf-
fering and pain. We refuse to
see the obvious. We have no guts.
Our souls are dead.
Help us to hope. Help us to
search. Help us to believe. Teach
us the way of a man who was
bom in a stable, quit his job
to roam the countryside talk-
ing to human beings, hung around
with prostitutes,' liars, thief s,
and beggars, and died on a piece
of wood between two criminals.
Teach us the way of one who
danced on a cross and who dances
in the midst of a changing world.
In the name of the Lord of the

I had hoped to be able to endure this presidential campaign
without feeling a need to comment in this column of George
Wallace. This hope was not out of fear, but rather a certain
vague feeling many of us shared that if we ignored Wallace
he would go away. This hope has unfortunately not been born
out. Now I know I must say something about Wallace, not Wallace
the man, but Wallace the mania, for this stubby hitler-with-a-
drawl does not frighten me so much as does the climate of fear
upon which he is feeding and festering like a germ on the sore
part of America.
There is an ugliness, a disease, spreading in our country,
not so much led by Wallace as personified by him. Some have
termed it a "conservative trend" or a "shift to the right"
but these are only the political manifestations of what is a
deeper social phenomena. This phenomena won't make Wallace
president, but its more subtle current will elect Nixon and
it will be present and growing as we move into the next decade.
It is composed of a reliance upon force to maintain order,
a seeking of law instead of justice, a concern for stability
rather than the redress of inequity, and a desire for inter-
national victory rather than peace. On the personal level,
this phenomena reveals itself by a distrust and hatred of all
that is different and particularly of those individuals who dissent
and oppose the established order.
This movement, call it Wallacism, nazism, facism or what
have you, is typified by the solutions offered by its "leader"
to the domestic crisis of America. His approach in an attempt
to curb violence is ±at of violence itself. For peace in D.C.
of course any demonstrator who would lie in front of Wallace's
car would meet Wallace's lynch-mob brand of instant law and
order (a president who would so eagerly sanction murder is
almost— but not quite— inconceivable).
No, Wallace won't be electee president, but he and his kind
will continue to be a rallying point for those millions of Ameri-
cans who cannot understand and are fearful of the changes our
country has been experiencing. Their misapprehensions and
hatreds will grow and those Americans genuinely concerned with
social action will be facing an increasingly hostile country.
Repression is an ugly word, but its even uglier effect can be
anticipated. We can expect a marked shift toward conformity
with harsher treatment for those who won't fit the mold. Just
look close to home. Maryville is in a sense a microcosm of
our country, and certainly here the dissident, the unusual,
the individual is met with scorn— and increasingly with hostility.
The only action we who decide to fight Wallacism can rely
upon is a dynamic assertion of our right— our obligation— to
remain individuals. It will get hot and very nasty, but somehow
we must remain dedicated and only then shall we overcome.
Physical intimidation is the crude resort of the frightened
Wallacite. In the extreme it results in the lynch mob's rope, the
thug's fist, or as we have too often seen, the assassin's bullet.
However, the cause of liberty has never been stopped by the
murder of a leader; it continues as long as freedom burns in
the hearts of the people. Most of us are not leaders and will
not have to sacrifice our lives for freedom. But all of us must
be willing to, and each of us must in his own way insure the
survival of his liberty and individuality in the face of threats.
After the invasion of Czechoslovakia, five Russian citizens
demonstrated in protest in Red Square. All were arrested and
sentenced to hard labor. One of the five, after receiving his
three-year sentence said: "For three minutes on Red Square
I fell free. I am glad to take your three years for that." Each
of us who opposes the megalomania of Wallacism must be
willing to pay with years for our precious minutes of freedom.

Dear Brian,
The other day I mailed to your
office a recent issue of THE
HIGH-LANDER, published by the
students of the University of
California at Riverside. This act
somehow triggers further action
that results in my attempting to
set down for you (and for any
other friend of mine now on
campus) some narrative of what,
where, and why the scene of my
present endeavors.
But first, another word about
the newspaper from Riverside.
None of the sentiments or opin-
ions contained therein necessari-
ly coincide with my own. It just
happened that on a recent Satur-
day I spent the day on that campus
as guest of a conference. The
Mission Indians who reside on
the thirty-odd reservations in
Southern California were meeting
in an effort to form some sort
coalition through which to obtain
educational, economic, and cul-
tural gains that will put them in
(or at least "near to") the main
stream of American life. The last
address on this letterhead is an
activity for which now I am
responsible, and in \^ich two
Community Aides on our project
payroll are providing important
leadership to this current effort
of these greatly disadvantaged
Americans. Only last night, Mrs,
Thomas and I attended a meet-
ing focussed on educational needs
of Indian children residing on
the five reservations for which
we provide some services. That
meeting was sponsored by a
United Indian Women's Club's
Education Committee and con-
vened in the cafeteria of the
Pala Mission School out in the
desert hills about fifty miles
north of San Diego.
This club is incidentally prob-
ably the only organization num-

These are the results of the poll taken by UCM and the Echo. A total of 254 ballots were received.
Nixon was the easy winner and the reason for the choice given by most of the people returning
ballots was for the reason of the "lesser of two evils.** It is interesting to note that it was Eugene

Dear Editor,
Item: At the urging of the Inter-
national Olympic Committee,
Tommie Smith and John Carlos
were suspended from the United
States Olympic Team by the
United States Olympic Committee
for interjecting political over-
tones into the XVIII Olympic
Games.
The Olympics ofparadoxisupon
us. Jesse Owens doing Schlitz
commercials and somewhere in
the back of my mind Buffy Saint-
Marie sings (in an out of context
way), "How could Hitler have
condemned him. . .?" This is
the vfhoie point of this out-of-
context Olympics.
Edict: Black pride has no place
in the Olympic Games,
As Junior Wells might have said
"Isn't four black men's setting
of a world's record in the 1600
meter run Black Power?"
Howard Kozel with usual nasal
alacrity sums it up when he calls
the Olympic Team a microcosim
of what is happening in the United
States. And the T,V. flutters
on and you try not to think
about it.
Scene: The national teams
march around the stadium under
national colors.
South Africa is missing.
Trying not to reason it will
not make it go away. The fact
that the modern Olympic is a
political propaganda machine
must be realized. Somewhere in
the black streets of Chicago or
Harlem a young man leans against
a building, pulls a KOOL from
his lips and wonders why he isn't
allowed to be proud of himself.
He knows it is one thing to be
free and another thing to be proud.
Marat Sade
in Review
by Marilyn Rankin
It is France in 1808, Discon-
tent has replaced the unrest after
the Revolution. The idea of change
has distinctly different connota-
tions to the still sharply-divided
classes of society, even though
the privileged sector declares
that ±ey are no longer privi-
leged. Within the walls of Char-
enton Asylum, the inmates are
performing a drama written by
the Marquis de Sade concern-
ing the death of Jean-Paul Marat.
The allowance of such "freedom"
is explained as a therapeutical
experiment in human rights. The
conflict expressed in the play-
widiin-a-play is still as modern
today as it was 160 years ago.
The madness in the play re-
flects the madness in the audi-
ence and in the world— a univer-
sal insanity of alienation and
death. To placate the blind aris-
tocracy, the inmates insist that
they are portraying conditions
as they were long ago. Today,
they say, all are God-fearing
men. Yet religion offers no sav-
ing grace; the priests talk about
international and universal love.
They maintain that all men are
brothers, as they look down into
the "pit of injustice" and con-
tinue to eat with the rich. To
the poor, they say, "Suffer,"
for their kingdom is not in this
world. Within the asylum itself,
the behavior of the sisters in
questionable; they feel compelled
to dominate the inmates by

White piety on the part of the
Olympic Committees of both the
United States and of the world
kind of makes this young man
laugh. "How can the Olympics
support national teams and na-
tional relay competition?" he
wonders. South Africa was re-
cognized by the Olympians as
politically inferior because of ii's
written segregationist laws. Your
mind might wander back to some-
place in your past where some-
body once told you that politics
had no place in the Olympics but
you can't think too long because
you're caught up in the stirring
strands of the French National
Anthem (or is it the American?;
Peruvian?).
But try not to think about it-
politics has no place in the
Olympics and, of course, you
agree as you reach for the even-
ing paper and pour over the Gold
Medal tally sheet. And someone
has to tell you that Tommie
Smith's fistful! of frustration is
not a new Clint Eastwood movie.

DISASTER
Maryville College lost its fifth
game of the season Saturday
afternoon as they went down to
defeat at the hands of the un-
defeated Randolph-Macon Yel-
lowjackets by a score of 50-0.
The Scots were never able to
get their offense rolling on the
rain-soaked field. Seven fumbles
plagued the Scots,
^aryville's only real scoring
opportunity of the day came in the
first quarter, when a blocked punt
gave the Scots the ball deep in
Yellowjacket territory. The Scots
drove to the three yard line, but
one of the costly fumbles gave
Randolph-Macon the ball and
halted the drive.
After a scoreless first quarter,
Randolph-Macon broke loose for
three touchdowns before^ half
time. Freshman Howie Stevens
led the Yellowjacket attack by
scoring the first two touchdowns,
and Mike Fyock took a nine yard
pass from quarterback Dave Wet-
zel for the third score,
Randolph-Macon continued to
pour it on in the second half.
Stevens was the main cog in the
Yellowjacket's offensive ma-
chine, as he carried the ball 17
times for 188 yards and three
touchdowns, jhe Yellowjackets
rolled up a total of 373 yards
rushing, compared to the Scots*
49 yards. Maryville dominated
the passing game, however, as
they gained 152 yards through
the air, against 75 for the Yellow-
jackets. Randolph-Macon is now
4-0 and is averaging 47 points
per game. The Scots are 0-5
and are averaging a little over
9 points per game. (The Scots
have scored 48 points in five
games, and have been scored
upon with 163 points, or 32.6
per game).

The Highland Echo is attempting
to be a real newspaper on a

This is the first year that the
Echo has been expected to be
weekly. It is difficult but the
staff is working as hard as pos-
sible. But we need the help of the

Sade cont.
physical brutality.
The song of Charlotte Corday
and Monsieur Duperrett express-
es the hope for a time to come
when all men can be equal, honest
and trusted. Marat pleads with
his fellow prisoners not to be
deceived by the lies that they
hear about the free state which
is attempting to make living in
poverty respectable.
In order to present Marat/-
Sade, the playhouse expended a
tremendous amount of time and
work. The inmates of the asylum
mastered a hauntingly authenic
laugh, and the insane look of
wildness was continual in their
eyes — both before and through-
out the play. The aristocrats
(Bob Abel, Kathy Smith, Rachel
Kent) conveyed a properly noble
pedigree in their appearance,
haughty actions, and evident con-
victions that there is no question
of anyone being oppressed with
the availability of soup kitchens
and clothing welfares. They
choose to ignore the fact that
the persons involved in traitorous
scandals during the Revolution
have honored government posi-
tions at the present.
The Herald (Bill Beasley) was
extremely competent as the me-
diator between the players and
the audience. With his painted
face and tricolors of the Revo-
lution, he displayed a bright and,
at times, welcome comic relief.
The revolutionary Jean-Paul
Marat (BobHutchens)was excel-
lently portrayed. The audience
wag able to empathize with his
constant suffering and impas-
sioned cries. The Marquis de
Sade (Phil DerPilbosian) seemed
almost mechanical in his reci-
tation of lines. He did not emerge
as a person, but rather as a part
in a play, Jacques Roux (Fred
Callies) was very well interpre-
ted as a fanatic whose mind is
obsessed with freedom and who
responds wildly to hearing simply
the words, "Freedom." Char-
lotte Corday (Pam Durgom), as
a melancholy murderess, beauti-
fully conveyed the image of a mad
saint. Both Simonne Evrad (Sue
Anthony) and Monsieur Duperret
(Harry Robertshaw) displayed a
pathetic devotion to their "mas-
ters.** The four singers and danc-
ers (Harry Weisgerber, Kent
Marshall, King Bennett, Phyllis
Neal), had fine voices them selves
without the assistance of the taped
singing. The fact that the two were
not co-ordinated was disiractive
and infringed upon the total effect
of the play. For once, thejonesian
stage direction of bodies litter-
ing the floor was relevant and
applicable. However, the evident
disgust of Sade at the end was
an extra unnecessary touch.
Much of the script for 1808
resembles 1968 dialogue: we
must all carry weapons nowa-
days; it*s easy to start a mass
movement for freedom; why all
this doublt and confusion; every-
one knows this war will end in
victory; the present state is a
world of bodies, each with a
terrible unrest.
The world's animating force is
destruction. To Sade, man is not
destroyed by external strengths;
he is annihilated by internal co
he is annihilated by internal co-
ercion. The Marquis sees no use
in worrying about the outside
world, as the only reality is one's
imagination and own self-inter-
est. Marat is clogged with the
dead idea that men are equally
free to fight in "happy mutual
robbery.** He is writing in pre-
world with fresh eyes and to
work to improve the wrongs.
To him, one physical ruler is
replaced by another; the Revo-
lution was fought for the bour-
geoise, and the masses are more
oppressed than when the Revo-
lution started. The poor are de-
manding their revolution with
the constant cry of "Freedom.**
They say that they want to see
people and governments exist-
ing in harmond. A wild laugh
reminds one that the harmony
of the inmates is discord to the
sane, whoever they may be. Fa-
naticism—outside the asylum-
must be replaced by beauty and
concord. Marat is willing to suf-
fer for the people, who must
choose a leader and fight for
their lives. But the Marquis says
that it is too late for a call to
the nation. It is too late; the
Revolution is over.
With the end of the play-within-
a-play, the audience is left with
external doubt of the no-ending.
Who won? Who lost? Both Marat
and Sade advote forceful revo-
lution, but Marat*s is of physical
destruction with axes and knives
while Sade's is of an inner an-
nihilation. With the end of the
play, it appears that Marat has
overcome, as the inmates bru-
tally kill the aristocrats. But
shouldn't each person in the audi-
ence be allowed to make the
decision for himself?

Basketball
The Maryville Basketball team
opened practice on October 15th
with hopes of continuing the winn-
ing ways they established during
the final month of last season.
Nine lettermen, including four
starters, return from last year's
team, which won eight of its last
twelve games, finished with a
10-15 record, and posted the best
slate for Maryville since 1959.
Returning starters Phil Bettis,
Mike Barrows, Bill Padgett, and
Dave Maxwell provide an ex-
perienced nucleus for the team
while Lyn Mize, Glenn More-
field, John Leibrock, LynDildine
and Lyn Raby provide excellent
depth. However, no one has a
starting position nailed down,
for Coach Boydson Baird also
has a talented group of fresh-
men, some of whom could possi-
bly crack the starting lineup.
6*5" center Warren Morgan, a-
long with Dan McKinstry, Jon
Scarlett, Paul Wright and Bill
Paxton are among the leading
freshmen candidates.
Additions to this year's schedule
include two games with Clinch
Valley College from Wise,
Virginia, and the Tennessee
Temole tournament in Chatta-
nooga, which replaces the Rand-
olph-Macon invitational that the
Scots played in last year. The
toughest opponents are expected
to be Ashville-Biltmoreand Bap-
tist College, while Emory &
Henry, Kentucky Southern, Mill-
igan and Mars Hill present a
talented challenge.
(This season looks like a great
one for the Highland Hoopsters,
so let's make plans to see them
in action on our home court.)

promoted the idea of community,
that is, faculty, administration,
and students all working together.
It stressed that each member of
the community would need to':
make a commitment to the pro-
gram if it was to be effective.
The main problem to be en-
countered in this community-
type of government, as wall as
in any other type, would be that
of becoming disconnected with the
real trends in the attitudes of the
community. Also, there must be
a special effort put forth to avoid
any disruption of the balance of
power among the groups involved,
especially avoiding the growth
of student power. This can be
prevented in part by agreeing
on a comprehensive goal and by
continually working for it. A
community-type of government is
of great value in educating stu-
dents in responsibility and de-
cision-making.

A Freshman WHO^S
Year Should
Be
WHO
FOR
New Haven, Conn.-(I,P.) - The
freshman college year should be a
breathing - spell of orientation
rather than intensive academic
study, according to a 66-page
report released by the Committee
for The Student in Higher Ed-
ucation. Funds for the survey
booklet, "The Student in Higher
Education," came from the Hazen
Foundation of New Haven.
The report recommends:
1. More research on the edu-
cational application of develop-
mental psychology and provision
for a liberal education for those
**who score relatively low on the
IQ scale.
2. **No matter how much it may
confuse schedules or course
loads, and no matter how many
new faculty must be hired, col-
leges should strive to have as
many individual seminars or tu-
torials and as few large lecture-
hall classes as possible.
3. Competition in all colleges
must be reduced. Grades should
be optional, and students should
be permitted to take courses on
a "pass-fail" basis if they
desire.
4. **A new kind of faculty must
appear, composed of men and
women whose primary concern
is the facilitation of the learn-
ing experience of students, and
helping them derive personal
meaning from those experi-
ences," A good many of these
teachers should not be from the
academic community at all but
the workaday world,
5. "The power of the profess-
ional academic guilds over un-
dergraduate instruction should be
broken. Faculty veto groups,
however powerful, can no longer
be permitted to block reform in
undergraduate education, or to
specify what educational ejq)eri-
ences a young person should have
before he is admitted to graduate
schooL"
The report says students should
have increased power in educa-
tional policy-making because
*'they do have insight into the
meaning of their educational ex-
periences \^ich ought to be im-
portant in making... administra-
tive decisions,"
"Student representation at the
very highest governing levels of
the college—even on the board of
trustees if possible— is also
necessary to prevent.. .the rep-
etition of student victimization
by the professional guilds and the
college administrators,"
In addition, "wide democratiza-
tion" of rule-making and enforc-
ing on the campus must be under-
taken, and should be done "with

The 1968 edition of WHO^ WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AAffiRICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COL-
LEGES will carry the names of 12 students from Maryville College who iiave been selected as being
among the country's most outstanding campus leaders.
CamfMis nominating committees and editors of the annual directory have included the names of
these students based on their academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extra-
curricular activities and future potential.
They join an elite group of students selected from more than 1,000 institutions of higher learn-
ing in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations in North and South America,
Outstanding students have been honored in the annual directory since it was first published in
1934.
FAST
Have you ever felt hunger? I
don't mean the 4 o'clock pangs,
but real hunger. It eats at you,
surting from the inside. It fol-
lows you wherever you go. You
can't escape it. Nor can you es-
cape the changes it makes in you;
that hollow look in the face, the
withered muscles, and the lost
look in the eyes. Nor does it
leave off here, for it torments
you, follows you wherever you
go, and, finally, resigns you to
your fate. But maybe you're lucky,
and get some food. That staves
it off for a while, but it will be
back. For half the people of the
world, it** flIwflV« hark
UCM thinks hunger is a wonder-
ful thing. Men aren't so proud
when they're hungry. They are
able to see the world without the
contented viel of a full stomach.
On Nov, 14, UCM is going to let
you, if you're willing, join the ma-
jority of the world and feel hun-
ger. Of course, it will only be for
one day, so you'll only get a taste
of the feeling. But it will do you
good if you let it, November 14 is
Biafran Fast Day on our campus^
and you're all invited to join in
the festivities! All you have to do
is agree not to go to the dining
hall on that day, and then sign
your name in a book. You can
sign up at Pearsons any meal
time, from now until noon on
November 11, or at CIV, Then,
on November 14, you arve.
Nothing to it.
What do you achieve by all this?
First, it is a way of raising funds
for the relief of the refugees of
the Nigerian civil war. The cost
of the food for one person for one
day's meals, actually only a little
over one-dollar, plus any other
donations received, will be put
to the cost of feeding these refu-
gees. It will only be a drop in the
bucket compared to the needs,
and we realize that. But it will be
something. Secondly, and in many
respects most important of all,
you will get the opportunity to

Presidential Election, 1968 ... over. Where has it all led?
Where are we now that we weren't before? Is the writing on

your Maryville education has to say about your involvement

Maryville's only answer in blind obedience to law and order?
The people and experience of Maryville College can provide
that answer or another. They can also provide the next ques-

SPORTS EDITORIAL
The Homecoming festivities proved once more to me that the
spirit at Maryville College is still alive. The pep rally had a
good attendance and lots of pep was stirred up. The Freshmen
boosted the pep with some new cheers which have been heard
recently at our rallies.
These who made vows to wear skirts, etc., added their little
push to the pep. The Sophomore class can be thanked for their
addition of the Scottie dog, played so well by Gary Nier. Each
person did his best to show that he was and still is FOR the
Scots.
The team played well, and proved that it can win ball games.
Anyone who was there at the game could see that Coach Tom-
linson is right in saying that the team has matured. They are
proving that they can work together. I feel that we have come a
long way this year, in that the whole school has become more
concerned with what is happening here at M.C.
The Scots play Carson-Newman on November 9 at Jefferson
City, Tenn. That's only a short distance from here, so you kids
with wheels might want to roll over and see the Scots roll over
C-N.
Sock it to 'em Scots! ^ crn^o

BERKELEY, Calif. (CPS)~ In
what they consider a "major vic-
tory," Mexican-American stu-
dents at the University of Cali-
fornia have won important con-
cessions from President Charles
J. Hitch.
Hitch has agreed that individual
UC campuses may refuse to buy
California table grapes although
they may not officially support
the boycott. He had earlier said
campuses could only stop buying
grapes if it were uneconomical.
He also dropped university dis-
ciplinary action against 11 stu-
dents who were arrested after .
taking over his office Oct. 14
to demand university support for
the boycott. Hitch will ask the
court for leniency for the ar-
rested students.
Hitch also agreed to work on
the students' other two demands.
He said a Center for Mexican-
American Studies is already be-
ing started at the Los Angeles
campus and that he would work
on the proposal for increased
minority group admission to the
university.
The Taj Mahal is located on the Jumna River in Agra, India.
Built by the Mogol emperor Sha Jahan, it is the tomb for him
and his Hindu wife, Mumtaz Mahal, whose name means "chosen
of the palace." She died in childbirth in 1631 and Sha Jahan built
the Taj as a memorial to her. The construction required 20,000
workmen and 22 years to complete.
When you visit Agra to see the Taj you expect a typical tourist
trap. Nothing could be as beautiful as this structure has been
described. Fully expecting a disappointment, you make the trip
across the Jumna over a bridge so narrow the squealing, honking,
smelling, shouting traffic of cars, bullock-carts, donkeys, and
people can travel only in one direction. Since this is the only
bridge, you sit and wait until the flow is headed toward your
destination, and then you join the surging mass. Along the bank
of the river you pass a cremation ceremony and realize how
close death is at all times in this land. Finally you arrive...
On First Seeing the Taj Mahal
The small fee to enter is paid
and guided you face the dingy brick facade

the tomb.
The tomb — the thought that death lays hidden
behind this wall seems out of touch with the moment,
but the thought hangs there all the same.
(A skull. It will gleam white and dead like
a skull.)
<«
This way, sahib."
You hesitate,
then stumble as over thoughts fallen in the dust.
Is the shiver that bounces down your backbone
caused by forsaking the Indian sun
for the cool, slighty clammy entrance tunnel?
Or is it the tingle of an expected contact
with history — and beyond?
Surrounded with dark,
the smell, the cool;
ahead the opening, the garden.
Then

White White
So white it pierces your eyes without pain, but
bums inside your mind.
So white you think a cloud has settled
to earth,
pulling the sun-gleam with it.
So white — as white as you'd guess this love
between a Muslim and his Hindu wife
must have burned.
For it is burning, burning.
It is not a skull which gleams, but thoughts
inside your skull which bum,
burn, and you know would continue,
would not cool
would not tum to stone
even with your touch.
And yet the wonder is not
the white
not the love
nor the burning...
The wonder is that the fee to enter
is so small,
small,
and still so large
you know your pocket never can contain it.

REVIEW:
The Ramsey Lewis Trio
Ramsey Lewis came to Mary-
ville College one Friday. And in
his "bag** he brought bassist,
Cleveland Eaton, and drummer^
Maurice White, but most im-
portant of all he brought jazz.
The Trio imaginatively and in-
tricately improvised their way
through xhe concert, leaving the
audience excited and impressed.
The Trio's repetoire was much
more varied as compared to the
records they have cut, (Ramsey's
albums usually sound like a for-
ty minute mixture of "Sloopy**
and "Wade in Water") and I
truly believe that the varied pro-
gram suggested an honest attempt
at an all around jazz concert.
Tunes along progressive lines,
in the Latin American vein, and
even recently composed ones
were featured by the trio, helping
to make the evening enjoyable.
Each member of the Trio was
obviously a talented musician.
Maurice White, the drummer,
came on strong in "Ode.** His
lengthly solo featured, other than
his talented drumming, the in-
troduction of an African Thumb
Piano, on which he displayed his
versatility. In the way of back-
ground, White did a good job,
except for an occasional rim shot
which was out of place, but seem-
ed to keep the audience on theil-
toes.
The bassist, (and "choreogra-
by Warren Gaughan
pher") Cleveland Eaton, was an
intricate musician who had a lot
, to say but was hardly heard due
to a poor mike set up. He manipu-
lated his bass in such a manner
that at one time or another during
the concert he probably covered
every part of it,
I'm sure the audience would have
enjoyed Cleveland more, had they
been able to hear him.
I had only one complaint about
Ramsey Lewis — no matter what
he played or how advanced his im-
provising became— he always
threw in his funky "Wade in
Water** clinches. This, I think,
was detrimental to everything he
was trying to do. A perfect ex-
ample was "Emily** (his first en-
core), which he murdered. In this
arrangement Ramsey started off
with a nice, soft, flowing melody
and ended likewise, but the middle

section was irrelevant and sound-
ed as if he tried to squeeze "In
Crowd*' into it. His improvisa-
tions, notwithstanding the funky
cliches, were sufficient and well
done. I think that as the concert
progressed, his improvisations
improved.
All in all, the concert was an
excellent musical experience for
anyone— even for an audience
such as Friday night's. \ say this
in all sincerity, the Maryville
audience was terrible. The only
excuse I can perceive is that the
audience was never subjected to
a jazz concert. Maybe it was the
influence of previous folk and
rock concerts that caused them
to clap in rhythm to Ramsey's
more progressive works. (Ram-
sey Lewis is an artist. Have
you ever tried to appreciate an
artist's self expression through
chaotic clapping of a hundred
("teeny-boppers"?) Maybe it was"
the experience of some who'laugh
at things they don't understand,
that provoked some people to
giggle at Cleveland Eaton, who
was emotionally and physically
involved in his solos and back-
ground playing, which are part
of artistic expression. But most
of all, maybe it was the child-
ishness in the audience that caus-
ed them to stamp and clap im-
patiently when the Trio took a
. "big" two minutes to come back
on stage after intermission.
(Ramsey's group changed clothes
during this time). The only thing
decently executed by the audience
was giving Ramsey and his group
a Standing ovation. Maybe what
this college need is a few more
jazz concerts to teach its students
jazz etiquette.

Furthermore, the report em-
phasized, all administrative per-
sonnel, from the highest to the
lowest level, must play a larger
role in education "because they
are the ones the students most
frequently deal with."
"One wonders how much of the
student unrest," the report com-
mented, "could be attributed to
authoritarian police, rude clerks,
hostile and iun(riendiy secretar-
ies and testy tellers. If the in-

dergraduate education should be
made more flexible so that stu-
dents who need or want time off

shown little inclination to ease up
on "the tyranny of prerequisites

* 'he who departs from the straight

expected to pay severe penalties

Conversely, the time the stu-
dents take off from college work
"is more likely to contribute to
their development and increase
their interest in professional
training," the committee noted,
"The committee is under no
illusions that any or all of its
recommendations will provide
the answer to the boredom, frus-
tration, apathy, bitterness, and
alienation which many observers
find characteristic of college stu-
dents today," the report said,
"The roots of these problems
are in our culture, and educa-
tional reform cannot by itself
change a whole culture. But our
recommendations provide mate-
rial for beginning an educational
reform that would open to the
student the possibility of improv-
ing our society and its culture,
A good education ought not to be
expected to provide all the an-
swers, but at least it can offer the
raw material for vision and
hope."
Tlie report also recommends
that volunteer service in the
similar projects be more closely
integrated with a college educa-
tion "before the volunteer era
ends in complete disillusion-
ment.

Food?
Rumor has it that some of the
rejected meat is salvaged for
meatloaf. Now I ask the adminis-
tration if that is necessary on a
thriving campus like MCI Or
maybe the problem is that we
are broke and the school can't
afford to buy more and/or better
food. Julst where is the meat
money? Surely not in Miss Ware's
cookie jar. As I understand it.
Miss Ware is a very nice person
who tries to please the students
and appeal to their tastes. Ask
any of the summer school kids
how it was. They'll tell you how
good the food was and how much
of it there was when she had
money to spend on the small
group. Why can't she have more
money to feed a greatly augment-
ed group of students. Was she
given a proportionate increase
of money? Personally, I think
the answer is no. There must
be some truth to what the summer
residents say I
Doesn't ±e Administration know
that war houses need money with
which to operate? Well, Susie
Ware's house also needs money.
Is the Administration going to
wait v^ile the football players
one by one fall over on the field
from malnutrition and our alma
mater— M.C— is declared a dis-
aster area because of the starv-
ing students? Do something NOW,
before it is too late. Students
may gripe about quality in food,
but if you don't have quantity
either, you end up with no stu-
dents. (How about all those empty
rooms in the new dorms?)
Get on the ball. Get food!
This poem was not written as
a protest against Miss Ware,
but as a protest against the food
that is served here. Most of the
students, I think, recognize the
enormous task that faces Susie
Ware. She does her best, but
there is just so much that can be
done wi± nothing. If the adminis-
tration would delegate some funds
to the Dining Hall, I'm sure that
Miss Ware could and would pro-
vide good, edible food, geared
towards the many and diverse
students' tastes.
Antioch ~^
and Innovation
Yellow Springs, Ohio. Despite
the risks, Antioch College must
continue to innovate and experi-
ment in order to find ways to
improve education and meet the
needs of today's students, the
Board of Trustees reaffirmed
here recently.
The board made its feelings
known when about one-third of
the faculty presented a petition
calling for ** a change in the
direction of administration" be-
cause of problems that they be-
lieve result from innovation and
experimentation. In response,
trustees adopted a resolution ex-
pressing their confidence "in
and sympathy with" Pres. James
P. Dixon, the present adminis-
tration and the faculty.
As one trustee, who is also an
alumnus, put it,**lf Antioch goes
down because of innovation, that's
too bad. It if goes down because
it refuses to innovate, that's
a disaster."
Very simply stated, there are
those at Antioch who believe that
the college's growing complexity
and number of experimental pro-
grams are adversely affecting the
quality of education.

Called to
Pike County
Pikeville, Ky. (CPS)— Bib over-
alls, out-of-state license plates,
and singing of "We Shall Over-
come" were introduced as evi-
dence of un-American activities
during an investigation of Appa-
Tachian Volunteers here last
week.
The Kentucky Un-American
Activities Committee (KUAC)
held hearings on alleged seditious
activities in Eastern Kentucky, a
culmination of a conflict that
erupted last year when five anti-
poverty workers were indicted on
charges of plotting to overthrow
the county government.
The state law on which the
charges were based was later
ruled unconstitutional by a feder-
al court.
The disixite includes Pikeville
College, a small liberal arts
school headed by Dr. Thomas
Johns, He fired local residents
by hiring professors opposed to
the Vietnam war and by holding
open forums on strip mining.
Dr. Johns* critics protest that
the college is becoming too lib-
eral, but the president has con-
tinued his new policies. "What
I'm going to do is run the best
educational institution, I can
which means Tm going to demand
that the issues facing our so-
ciety be discussed, investigated
and analyzed. I'm not going to
sell my soul for prejudice, hate
or bigotry," he said.
One of the anti-poverty workers
indicated for sedition, Alan Mc-
Surely (he wore bib overalls),
charged recently in a radio
broadcast that Pike County was
run by a "courthouse gang"
working for a few coal-mine
operators. He also said it was
not illegal or wronglo work for
peaceful change in government.
That statement prompted the
local prosecutor to say, with all
seriousness, "I want to warn
McSurely that if he calls on
Russian tanks to help him con^
quer Pike County, I intend to
appeal to Mayor (Richard) Daley
of Chicago and (former Ala.)Gov.
George Wallace for help in de-
fending Pike County."
The KUAC committee packed up
and left without naming any Com-
munists or taking any action
other than recommending less
political involvement by AV's.
And latest reports Indicate that

ALCOA GRANTS MC $50,000
The Alcoa Foundation has
brought the Maryville College
Sesquicentenial Development
Campaign closer to its goal with
a new $50,000 grant. The first
installment of $ 10,000 was pre-
sented to Dr. Joseph J. Cope-
land, Maryville College Presi-
dent, by Alcoa's Tennessee Oper-
ations Matti^er Roy J. Fisher,
who represented the Foundation,
"The grant," said Mr. Fisher,
who is also a director of the
college, "is a token of how very
much we appreciate Maryville
College playing such an important
role in providing a-solid liberal
arts background for its students.
Independent colleges like Mary-
ville have always been a major
value in strengthening the higher
education system of America.
Aloca and the Alcoa Foundation
are pleased to be able to further
>*
this important endeavor.
Dr. Copeland complimented the
company and the Foundation for
their continuing interest in the
development of young people and
encouraging the growth of edu-
cational institutions over the
years.
"This grant comes at a time
when the need to accelerate our
development program is greater
than over with the increasing
demand for trained young minds
to assume the responsibilities
facing our country and the
world," he said.
The Alcoa Foundation was form-
ed for the purpose of using its
net income exclusively for re-
ligious, charitable, scientific,
literary and educational pur-
poses. Awards such as this one
are divided approximately evenly
between educational and non-edu-
cational grants.

to provide a home for Sudanese

Three "bicultural** freshman
girls recently commented on
their, first month at Maryville.
Beth Urquhart, from Korea,
Jennifer Seely, Thailand, and
Barbara Seel, Venezuela, have
all spent most of their lives in
foreign countries. These girls
have the advantage of being able
to compare American culture
wi± that of a different people,
and their observations reflect
not (Mily the usual freshman ex-
uberance but a refreshii^ly
broader world view than many
of us are accustomed to.
The girls all emphasized the
friendliness of the nationals, the
people with Mrtiom their mission-
ary parents are living and work-
ing. They noticed a difference
in Americans as a whole. Amer-
icans tend to "mind their own
business" more and are not as
easy to get to know. All were
impressed, however, with the
friendly atmosphere here at the
college. In the States the girls
had to adjust to the fact that

they would see unfamiliar faces.
In Caracas, Barbie knew every-
one within the church community
and pointed out the deep sense of

"sort of a shock" to see peq)le
she didn't know in the same dorm.
The girls commented on how
much Americans are respected
in foreign countries, Jennifer
said that little children trail
after them in the streets, perhaps
because Americans are still
pretty much of a novelty in Thai-
land. In both Korea and Vene-
zuela American education is
highly valued. Education is most
important to the Korean, who
wants very much to learn to be

Our counterparts, Sudanese

were no longer Africans but our
African brothers and their life
became ours,
Gembela is a cluster of grass-
hut villages along the muddy,
swift flowing Baro River in south-
west Ethiopia, only sixty miles
from the Sudan border. Because
of the proximity to the border we
learned the true meaning to war
and hatred. We became a part of
the battle of the oppressed South-
ern Sudanese Tribesmen who are
being persecuted by the Ahab
Moslem Government in the north.
Little is known of this war that
has raged for six years and has
killed over a half million people,
mercilessly torturing many
more. The Southern Sudanese
is being killed for his freedom
to be equal, to be Christian,
to be educated, to be HUMANI
Our counterparts were forced
to flee from their homes and
many of their families were tor-
tured or killed. This summer we
saw the horrible, ugly face of
war pressed against our faces.
We heard the haunting cry for
help. We saw, we tasted, we
smelled the terror of death. We
saw and felt men haunted with
fear and filled with revenge and
courage. We frtt utterly help-
less because we never knew war.
Our feelings soon molded into
our counterparts, feelings as we
struggled with them. We could
grasp the why of men fighting-

You could feel and smell people

sold their goods through colorful
displays and loud shouts. We saw
our meat killed, skinned and then
handed to us like a piece of shoe

forget the slippery feel of fresh
meat again. The Ethiopians live
on a brown, sour, flat bread made
from rancid butter and a cereal

they eat a firey Hot sauce-wat.

What is a democracy? We hear cries for a democratic student
government but do we understand the implications? Can a college
or university operate in a pure democracy? Charles Frankei com-
ments in the November 2, 1968 issue of the SATURDAY REVIEW:
"a university is at once a highly individualistic and unavoidably
heir-archical human organization. It is based on the premise that
some people know more than other people, and that it cannot per-
form its tasks effectively unless these gradations and.knowlege
are recognized in its form of government,"
If institutions of higher learning should be run completely
democratically, and if Mr. Frankei is way off-base in his' implica-,
* tions, then we must ask ourselves vi^y more colleges haven't
installed thi^ type of government. Springfifeld College in Spring-
field, Mass, has partially attempted to comply with these demo-
cratic principles. In examining this "liberal" program, we find
their college council's primary purpose is to " deliberate on
important matters of the college and make appropriate recommen-
dations to the President on aspects of college life." This council
is madeupof seventeen voting members, two of whom are students.
If this is the most democratic form of government NSA has to
offer us, we must carefully consider the direction in which we are
proceeding. Before we criticize the mechanics of the system, an
acceptance or rejection of the system's basic purposes is in order.
These objectives are as follows:
1. *'The need for a balance between the continuing element and
the transient element within the community." A real democracy
would dictate a balance of equal representation between these
elements. However, in light of the other three purposes, and since
the effects of their contributions may not be felt by those transient
decision-makers, is a "perfect" democracy feasible here?
2. "A respect for the distinct functions of the constituent groups
and at the same time a concern for creating a sense of unity."
Surely in an institution of our kind, we can hope for a mature re- .
spect for all members of the community and a merging of minds on
pertinent issues. Unity through a meeting of minds is possible only
as a result of accurate communication.
3. "A recognition of the varying levels of experience and re--
':sponsibility so as to insure both a flow of fresh ideas and a
mature weighing of those ideas." This principle must apply to
both student and faculty representation. As is obvious, however,
complete r^resentatipn on this council is impossible - with only
six faculty niembers, for instance, how can every department be
represented? Both student and faculty representations are set up
with this ratio in mind. (A quick glance at the 1968 catalog would
show that there are seventeen biculty members in the ten years
and oyer category - not seven as previously stated - and that
there is a possibility for the Foreign Languages and Philosophy
and Religion Departments to be represented in this group.) Under
this plan, all decisions rest with the entire community - thus the
name All-College Council. Therefore, would it be fitting to
eliminate any phase of the community - such as secretaries,
ctfigqhes, or the President?
"4. "The desirability of providing in the legislative process for
the co-ordinating councils and committees to be concerned prim-
aflly with study, research, and the initiation of new measures;
and the All-College Council to be free to hear debate, to deliberate,
to make impartial decisions, and to devote time to long range plans
for the college." The committees will be the drawing boards for
future policy and will embody the essence of both student and
faculty representation. It is in these committees that total com-
munity involvement must be felt or the cornerstone of the struc-
ture will crumble.
Eaph membfir o( t|ie community must taketheresponsibilityfor
analyzing these four principles before we proceed any further. If
they are acceptable, then conscienctious, constructive criticism
must be begun wit^n the established framework.

Dear Editor,
In contemplating the weekend of
October 26, I think the whole col-
lege community should be con-
gratulated for a job well done—
the parade, the game, the board
meeting (I) etc. However, there
was one aspect of the weekend
which was quite a disappointment
to a suprisingly large number of
people, this being the basis oa
which the floats were judged. It
was my understanding that they
were to be judged on such quali-
ties as originality, color, theme,
and the amount and quality of work
evident in the float itself (not
on the basis of costumesi). Ac-
cording to some of the persons
who worked on the theatre's float,
it took approximately four hours
to put it together. This was obvi-
ous. When the "players" stepped
off the float, there was nothing
left. Perhaps the theatre was ac-
credited with originality, but this
is a fallacy as the theatre has
made a tradition of entering such
a float. As a result of diis seem-
ingly unfair float I know of quite
a few persons \^o are refusing to
put an effort into similar projects
of the future. This is a rather
sad situation. I feel diat some of
the kids who put DAYS into their
floats deserve an explanation!
Sincerely, Joan Gates

CONTRIBUTIONS
Any who wish to coni^ribute mon-
ey to the Biafran refugee fund
which is being raised on campus t
may do so by leaving a contri-
bution in the book store. This"
money is to be used, along with '
that raised by. the Biafran Fast
on Thursday, to help support
reli^ work for the rehigees re-
cently displaced by the Nigerian
civil war. This offer is open to
faculty as well as students, and
all such contributions will be
appreciated.
In planning what was to be the nature of the articles printed
under the above title, I made up my mind to attempt nothing but
huAiorous pieces. I firmly believe in the effectiveness of laughter
to make a point; v^en there is no point to be made, I firmly believe
in the use of humor to hide that fact. I resolved to make few, if any,
exceptions to that general philosophy.
The time for an exception is now. A subject has been brought to
my attention that cannot be treated properly except in the most
serious of tones; nor can I afford to ignore it on the assumpticm
that others will find out in due course.
I refer of course to events recently occurringof which, in spite
of the commotion and excitement involved, the exact nature went
largely unnoticed. Ordinarily I would not have been surprised at
this, or even think it worth comment— it was not the first time by
any means, and would surely not be the last.
But at Maryville I have learned to find value in things character-
istically deemed common and worthless. Thus although many may
say that it is a waste of time, nevertheless for the sake of the in-
terested few, I offer in the following sentences my own interpreta-
tion, based on rather thorough research and a previous familiarity
with its nature in general.
Surprisingly enough, the origins are largely unknown. The most
logical explanation seems to present more fancy than truth, and
therefore cannot be relied on. In foct, the more closely I probed,
the less I was fully able to confidently state as either one or the
other, the results of my findings. At any rate it was clear diat
what was desired was not so much a condemning expose as it was
a supporting and promoting union of the two, v^ich I can furnish
to anyone who wants to study it in more depth dian I am permitted
by present space requirements. — * •
Nationally, the implications are obvious. As 'a cohesive whole
the country must fiepart from its time-proven path, or failii^
that, whether for reasons stated above or because of facts not yet
assimilated, encourage what must now be seen as complete folly.
Either policy, of course, will prove itself to be a burden and men-
ace to die remainder.
Nor do I ±ink that the specific implications will escape anyone
concerned with local and moral questions. Having formed, as we
have, a prior commitment to dedication of the place of interest
and thought in general, there is really little to add aa this point.
I realize that'the chances of my actually convincing anyone from
the ^arguments of this short article are slim. Such was not my
intenti<xu' I would feel disappointed, however, if some of what I
said did not at least stir more controversy, and hence more
thought, toward the eventual solving of one of our most critical
problems.

••Don't play cool," said Big Al
Brodax, producer of the new
animated Beatle moticm picture
"Yellow Submarine. "How many
lousy little Yale professors get to
meet the Beatles?" Erich Segal,
professor of classics could have
replied, ''How many college pro-
fessors are writing a screenplay
for the Beatles?"
One of die most unlikely new
members of the screenwriting
fraternity, Erich Segal, a 32-
year-old assistant professor of
classics at Yale, the son of a
Brooklyn rabbi, has several prior
claims to fame. He finished 151st
in a field of 750 runners at the
1966 Boston marathon, he was
both class poet and salutory
speaker at his graduation from
Harvard, he has authored several
scholarly works and has his Doc-
torate degree.
All that has changed. His fame
now rests on his recent success
as a screenwriter and for having
played the piano for Ringo Starr,,
the Harvard fight song, of course.
It began with Brodax's request
that Segal hop a jet to London to
collaborate on the script for
•'Yellow Submarine," a United
Artist release.
Working from The Beatles lilt
song "Yellow Submarine," Segal
and co-authors Brodax, Jack
Mendelsohn and Lee Minoff,
whipped up a screenplay.
The Beatles themselves made
script contributions, John Lennon
once called Segal at 3 in the
monjing to suggest, "wouldn't
it be great if Ringo were follow-
ed down the street by a yellow
submarine," The scene was put
into the script.
Although Segal has achieved the
enviable distinction of having one
of his lyrics accepted by die
Beatles for their new film song,
••Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,"
he still remains very much a
member of the academic com-
munity.
•'If I had to choose (xie life or
the other it would be the univer-
sity." And his students are grate-
ful for this decision.
Enthusiasm for Erich Segal and
his professorial approach is in-
dicated by enrollment in a course
on Greek Tragedy which jumped
from 60 to 300 since he took
over the class. Moreover, diis
upswing began. before Erich S^al
met a single Beatle.
Though some of the more schol-
arly types on the faculty have
di^culty understamling his ven-
ture into screenwriting, both the*
chairman of thedepartment. Pro-
fessor Havelock, and Segal him-
self, diink that this sideline may
actually improve his work as a
scholar.
Says Havelock, **I think that it
has helped him to acquire the
gift of ai^roaching a classical
work as one might approach any
modem one,' He sees Plautus
as you might att a contemporary
playwright. Hience, he's always
able tp ask frish and provocative
queadons."
"Yellow Submarine" starring
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely
Heart's Club Band, is produced
by Al Brodax and presented by
Apple Films as a King Features
Production. The film was direct-
ed by George Dunning and design-
ed by Heinz Edelraann. It is in
Color by Deluxe.
The original story by Lee Min-
off, based on the song 'The Yellow
Submarine' by John Lennon and
Paul McCarmey, was written for
the screen by Minoff, Al Brodax,
Jack Mendelsohn and Erich Segal.

FLAGBALL FINALS
Well, this year's intramural Flagball games have come to a
close. It was another exciting year for those who played and for
those who got a chance to watch the going on behind the Student
Center.
If you think football is rough, then flagball is hell. It is a rough
; game where anything that you can get away with goes. But it is
' all friendly (or is it?) competition, and all have a good time.
, This year five teams played in the Intramural League. It would
;. be impossible to print all of the men's names that made up this
' year's rosters, but it is possible to give you a few of the results.
I will give you what I have, and hope that I am correct.
There were a total of 21 games between the five teams, and the
final Stinking Shoe Game played by Alpha Sigma and Kappa Phi,
This year's SS game was won by the Sig boys, who stomped their
opponents 60-13.
Of the 21 games, only 2 resulted in ties. Here are the other
statistics.

As the mighty MaryvlUe Scots
came on the field Saturday night
they were greeted by a standing
ovation and a very exuberant
crowd.
Spirit was the word as our
"Big Reds" triumphed over the
Milisaps* Majors of Mississippi
by a score of 17-13.
The aaion began in the 1st
quarter when Mary ville was faced
with a punting situation. Quarter-
back Dave Garner punted. Mill-
saps fumbled, and the ball was
recovered by Dean Bercaw on
the M.C. 49 yd. line. The Scots
then marched in twelve plays the
first T.D. of the game. The Scots
scored on a hand-off from Gamer
to John Klein. The extra point
kick by Jim Cannon was good to
make the score 7-0. In the last
few moments of the quarter the
ball was again fumbled by the
Majors and we took over on the
0-6-7-0-13
38 yd. line. But, as the seconds
ticked by. Garner's attempted
pass to Brad Beck was picked
off by the Major's tough defense.
The 2nd quarter is when the
Majors came back and scored
their first touchdown, but the
extra point failed because of a
bad hike from their center and
an added effort from our own
tough defense. We took over the
ball and it was 4th down and 3 yds. Washington.

LICKIN' LYNX WRAPS UP
SEASON
The Scots wrapped up their 1968 football season with a 15-14 victory over Southwestern
College last Saturday night. This victory marks the end of an inspiring year — a year that is
filled with hopes for next year.
The Maryville College football team has come from behind and has established a winning
pattern, a task which many people had given up as futile. Those who have stayed with the Scots
despite the many crushing losses can look at this year's record and know that at last their
prayers have been answered. Many victories are awaiting the Scots, for they have come alive,
they're hot and can't be stopped.
The Scots snapped an eleven-game losing streak in the Homecoming game against Franklin
College. The following week the Scots upset Millsaps for a second victory. Carson-Newman
got lucky. Southwestern didn't have a chance.
This year there were two seniors, captain John McLaughlin and Joe Dawson, on the team.
They provided the leadership which usually is given by a much larger group. These men will
not be back next year, but there will be a tough group of men to take their places on next year's
roster. The Scots have built a foundation on which they can build their victory house. They
have come from the cellar and are climbing toward the chimney.
The last four games gave the team the will to win. They gave the team a pride in their
group, a pride so strong that it will carry over to next year. The team has worked together
to become real football players.
It is impossible to single out any one player and give him more credit than the others. Each
man did his best out there, never giving up the spirit that a great team needs. Each man did
his best for Maryville College.
The team will return next year for Spring practice, and will have a tough list of opponents
lined up. The team can not continue, however, without your support. The Scots look forward
to a winning season next year. They can do so now for the first time in four years. They want
you to be part of it, too, for ±ey are Maryville College and you are Maryville College.
We can only give the Scots a sincere "Well Done", and our best wishes for next year.

Scoring was held to the second and fourth quarters Saturday night, but the Scots scored
one point more than Southwestern, l^e final score was 15-14.
John Klein, who ran for a total of 155 yards, scored the first touchdown of the game, and
Jimmy Cannon booted the extra point over, giving the Scots a 7-0 lead. The Lynx, however,
came right back and scored seven points with only 22 seconds in the half.
Southwestern scored their final touchdown with about 6:23 remaining in the game, and took
the lead, 14-7, The Scots battled back and brought the ball into scoring position. Garner ran
the ball into the end zone, and brought the Scots to within one point of the Lynx. Time was
called, and Maryville decided to go for two points to win, rather than to tie the game. Gamer
again held the ball and dove over the Southwestern defense into the end zone. The Scots held
their lead for the remaining minutes of the game. A pass interception by safety Larry Stevens
secured the ball for the Scots in the waning moments.
Tne freshmen did a great job out there, with Stevens' interception, Tom Ickes' two inter-
ceptions, and Rick Snyder's good running. Two seniors, captain John McLaughlin and Joe ijaw-
son, played their last game for Maryville.
The Scots can truthfully say that they look forward to a winning year next season, for they
have started something this year that can not be stopped.

OUR MAN HOPPE
By Arthur Hoppe
Once upon a time there was a young lad named Horatio Alger,
who was determined to struggle and persevere and somehow get
himself a good education. A good sex education.
But the little lad faced many hurdles. The first was the local
school board, which voted 5-4 against showing Horatio any sex
education films. The second was Horatio's parents, who voted 2-0
against allowing Horatio to attend any Adult Movies.
"Adult movies," thundered Horatio's father, "are corrupting
the morals of our youth and destroying our American way of life."
So Horatio was 18 and on his own before he saw his first Adult
Movie. He didn't of course, understand it. But he thrust forth his
chin and vowed to persevere.
For two years, Horatio persevered. He saw Adult Movies thrice
weekly and twice on Saturdays. "It was a hard struggle," he said
proudly on reaching 20, "but at last I have won myself a good sex
education."
It was then that he met Miss Penelope Trueheart and fell in love.
"All I desire on this earth," he said, falling to his knees one
night in her apartment, "is to be the father of your child and spend
the rest of my life as your husband."
"Oh, dearest," said Miss Trueheart ecstatically, "when will we
be married?"
"As soon as we havea child," saidHoratio, drawing on his good
sex education. "For we can't have one afterward, you know. People
never do."
"And how do we have a child?" she asked, blushing modestly.
"There are several ways," said Horatio. "The easiest, I be-
lieve, is for you to smoke a cigarette on the couch. I will pounce
on you. Your hand will go limp and the cigarette will fall on the
carpet, (We can use an ashtry, I suppose, if you worry about fire.)
And then you will cry."
"I don't smoke," said Miss Trueheart.
"Then we'll have to throw your clothes on the floor," said
Horatio." though it isn't very tidy. But please turn up the heat
first as we have to lie under just a sheet and talk. Then I will go
for a drive and you will cry."
•Will you take me in your arms, dearest?" she asked hesitantly.
•Yes," said Horatio. "In the shower."
'I don't have a shower," said Miss Trueheart, close to tears.
•Well, I guess we can skip that," said Horatio dubiously, as he
threw his tie on the floor. "Come, my love, I can hardly wait."
So they threw their clothes on the floor, got under the sheet,
talked, and then Horatio dressed and went for a drive while Miss
Trueheart cried.
But, oddly enough, though they faith&illy repeated this routine
every night for seven years, they never did have a child.
With his good sex education, Horatio privately blamed Miss ^
Trueheart for neither smoking nor having a shower. But he was
too gallant to say so.
Moral: Adult Movies may. indeed, destroy our way of life.
And the human race along with it.
k. c
Power, force, compassion, they
are all articulated in books.
But the spirit can be caught in
a short poem.
All you need is oppression of
the selfless compassion and
sensitivity of a poet.
And we shall overcome!
In India we visited the farm of a wealthy Rajistanni family.
There a girl danced for us, and thinking about her dance has
crystallized for me some far-reaching thoughts (allowing for
change according to the dictates of poetry) about India, and
women, and those differences even music can't bridge, I hope
the poem captures some of the beautiful, sensuous, and dis-
cordant—yet flowing—nature of the dance.
The Dancing Girl
I came for your dancing,
You knew that I'd come.
Your gown was all crimson.
Your hair all undone.
Dear children, dead at Auschwitz,
Your hands.
Grasping as the gas engulfed you,
Cupped like the petals
Of flowers in ten thousand fields.
Stop
Graceful
• # •
Then begin
Yet awkward
Like Warsaw's jews.
The black men,
Their backs against the wall.
Will to bring it down.
Sightless and strong as Sampson.
They brace tem selves.
They brace themselves.
Men freely acting in the only way
Available to men who are not free,
S,J.M.
Changing
You writhe

NEW FEATURE
CIV Analysis
As stated last spring, the pur-
pose of CIV programs is to
provide stimulating and thought-
provoking educational material,
which will be relevant enough to
deserve the mandatory credit we
receive for attending. Since
this "course" has no required
homework, this paper feels that
it may serve as the center of
intellectual discussion and/or
action stimulated by these pro-
grams— especially when they
fall short of their purpose, as
has been observed to happen
more than once.
It is the intention of this writer
to see that an article is turned
in concerning each CIV program
(is that a hint?). It \s hoped
that these articles will make us
THINK- — not necessarily in the
same vein as the programs —
and PROJECT what may be sug-
gested on Wednesday (Tuesday?
Thursday?) mornings into some
sort of useful reaction.
The musical program offered
on November 5 was a refreshing
contrast to the usual lecture-
discussion procedure. Remem-
ber, it was not put on for our
entertainment, but as an expres-
sion of support for the United
Nations* International Year of
Human Rights. The first number,
•*The Testamen;. of Freedom,"
was admittedly performed much
better than some sceptics may
have expected. It was obvious
that a real effort had been made,
to coordinate the band and choir.
The text of this number is a
brilliant, courageous of "the
American Dream,"— something
we seem to ideally desire but
sometimes fail to understand —
is taken from writings of that
often obscure, but probably
greatest genius in history,
Thomas Jefferson. If we have
such a great need and desire
to maintain this country, maybe
it would not be such an unpar-
donable sin to listen to one who
helped create it.
The fourth verse begins **I shall
not die without a hope that light
and liberty are on steady ad-
vance, .„" and it is obvious that
the composer (and conductors)
was restating this in his own
gifted way.
The second number, "The Song
of Human Rights," may be some-
what justly accused of using ar-
chaic expression, but its thought
is certainly relevant to the
preaching of the leaders of (Nir
generati(m on the supreme value
of the individual.
After the program, that vener-
able sage E3r, Campbell, who is
always visibly impressed— one
way or another— by anything
and everything he observes, em-
phatically advised that we think
of "all the meanings we have
applied to patriotism," and
another friend replied that pa-
triots "run all the way from
minutemen to peace demonstra-
tors." Tliis brought to mind
two final thoughts. First, that
the (far-off?) American "ideal"
expressed in this program was
remarkably similar to what I
heard from a member of SDS
not too long ago (they're not
all Communists!), Second, I
thought of all us educated
people — expecially of a good
friend who didn't like the pro-
gram but couldn't say why—
as being able to learn a tre-
mendous lesson from Dr, Camp-
bell. Let me explain. When
I received that long blue Vic-
torian scare-sheet explaining
this particular CIV program, I
was not looking terribly forward
to it. Not that the notice was
so wrong, but it somehow turned
people off, and we all went to
the program with mental blocs,
and closed our minds to what
we knew would have nothing to
offer us. Another problan is
that many of us cannot feel ex-
pressive in music and stuffy
language. But does not this
problem relate to one of the
great advantages of CIV — that
-we must be able to share in
the mode of expression of others
in order to be a progressive
CONLMUNITY as intended by the
new philosophy of our Committee
on College Life and Structure,
and as is required in any peace-
ful community of human beings?
"Freedom, justice, and peace
Human rights
The design of law
The dignity and worth of the
human person.
Amen, So be it. Shalom.
Freedom, justice, peace."

DEBATORS
SEEK
RECUITS
At the first debate meeting for
the year, Maryville College found
itself in the rather embarrassing
position of having only a skeleton
squad of debators returning from
last year's successful team.
Transfers to other universities
took their toll, along with ordi-
nary things like dropping out
of school and participating in the
Junior-Year-Abroad program.
Only Ray Phillippi, Penny Prof-
fitt, and Charles Myers remain
as ex|)erienced debators,
Mrs, Proffitt, director of foren-
sic activity, has assembled a
small but eager group of first-
year speakers vitio attended ^eir
first tournament on Nov,,! and 2
at Appalachain Univ., Bonne, N.C.
The Affirmative team, composed
of Janet Welt(m and Georgia
Briggs, won 4 out of 6 debates
for a very promising opening '^
the season. Others coRipetii^
in debate and individual' events
at diat tournament were Mack
Gamer, Cindy Esty, and< Robert

chance to be a part of Maryviile^s .
wlnningest team! v:.
Our second interim is upon us.
As a whole, those of us who
were here last year found the in-
terim period to be an enjoyable
and satisfying learning experi-
ence.
One of the more unusual in-
terim projects is being led by
Dr. Carol Wahler, newest mem-
ber of the psychology department.
Dr. Wahler and 18 students will
be working with children with
behavior problems at the Bell
County Health Center, Pineville,
Ky. The students will be trained
in operant techniques so that
they will, in effect, become be-
havior therapists.
Perhaps a brief explanation of
the operant method is in order.
When a problem child is brought
to the clinic for help, the psy-
chologist observes the child's
behavior over a period of time
and makes a chart of his base-
line rate; i.e., the rate of his
aversive behavior compared to
his acceptable behavior. Then by
reinforcing the acceptable be-
haviors and extinguishing the un-
desirable behaviors, the psycho-
logist can record the child's
progress as shown by his base-
line graph, until the problem is
cured.
An example of a problem child
is one who thiov/s temper tan-
trums continually and exhibits
little cooperative behavior. The
therapist first records the child's
baseline rate, if social approval
is reinforcing ;o the child, the
therapist then praises him when
the child cooperates, thus rein-
, forcing desirable behavior. When
the child throws a temper tan-
trum, the therapist withdraws
* his social approval of that par-
ticular behavior by ignoring him.
Soon the rate of the aversive be-
havior begins to drop. When the
temper tantrum s have disappear-
ed, the therapist will differen-
tially reinforce. TTiat is, he will
reinforce any crying or signs of
anger by paying attention to the
child, while at the same time,
he will ignore the child's co-
operative behavior. Soon the
aversive behavior will be as
high as before. This is done to
prove that it was the therapist
(v^o could be the child's mother
or the student) who was respon-
sible'for curif^g the child's be-
havior problem. When all is re-
corded, the therapist will again
extinguish the temper tantrums
and reinforce cooperative be-
havior until the problem is cured,
ITie technique has no ill effects
on the child, who is unaware of
the process. We are all con-
trolled by others' social approval
in like manner every day.
The MC interim project is im-
portant for a number of reasons,
in addition to its educative value
for our students. There are not
enough behavior therapists at the
Center to be able to treat all the
disturbed children. Parents can
be trained in the operant method,
but many are not interested or do
not fully understand it. The chil-
dren will be the ones v^o will
benefit the most from our stu-
dents* participation.
The children range in age from
five to 12 years. Two students
will be working with each child.
They will accompany the child
at work or play and observe his
behaviors and others' reactions
to him. They will then apply
operant techniques in hopes of a
cure.
Dr. Wahler plans to publish the
ouicomc as a study if all goes
well. Furthermore, Union Col-
lege IS using this MC interim
project as a pilot program for
a possible graduate program
using students as therapists. I:
promises to be a rewarding ex-
perience for all concerned.
BLESSED ARE THE MEEK: FOR THEY
SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.

Eagles
Slide By
Scots
Most of Saturday night's game
was played in a heavy, steady
snowfall. The field was a mass
of puddles, and the ball was as
slippery as a wet bar of soap.
Despite the weather conditions,
however, fans were pleased with
a well played game.
The game ball was run from
Maryviile by the Highland Har-
riers and was delivered to the
Carson-Newman stadium by a
team of Wet, cold men. Last
year the Carson - Newman
X-Country team ran the ball to
Marj'ville. We hope that this
can become a tradition.
Maryviile kicked off and re-
covered a C-N fumble on the
first play of the game. Jim
Cannon attempted a 26 yrd. field
goal, but failed to score. Larry
Stevens intercepted a pass for
the Scots, but it did not pay
off. The Scots were pushed
back to their end zone, forcing
Cannon to kick for 41 yards.
By now the second quarter had
begun, and it was snovwng heav-
ily.
The Scots pushed the Eagles
back for a loss of 39 yards,
and Boggs stopped their 4th and
40 play on the Carson-Newman
12 yard line. The Scots took
over and Dave Garner drilled
a pass to John McLaughlin for
a 12 yard touchdown. Jim Can-
non's kick put the Scots ahead
7-0.
A bad hike from the C-N center
dropped the Eagles on their 21
yrd. line, and the Scots took over.
But the Eagles came back with
a pass interception. The Scots
held them, and with 5:33 left
in the first half, Boggs recovered
another fumble by C-N, who had
blocked a M.C, kick on the
Jan.

came out with intentions of keep-
ing their lead and winning.
The third quarter was marked
by numerous fumbles. Boggs
recovered another fumble (#3
for Boggs), but the Eagles pre-
vented any scoring by the Scots.
Gary Reagan recovered another
C-N fumble later in the quarter,
but the Eagles recovered a M.C.
fumble less than a minute later.
A sustained drive by the Eagles
resulted in their scoring with
a pass and a 2 pt. conversion
attempt. Carson-Newrrtan took
the lead 8-7.
Again, fumbles hampered both
teams during the fourth quarter.
Gary Reagon got his second re-
covery for the night, and later
M.C, recovered its own fumble.
Neither team could cash in on
the other's fumbles, so the score
remained 8-7 in favor of the
Eagles, As time ran out, fans
witnessed a succession of kicks
by both teams, each trying to
prevent the other from gaining
ground. The Scots could not
gain field goal position, and the
clock ran out as Carson-Newman
recovered a M.C, fumble and
maintained control of the ball.
The Scots lost a real close
ball game to a team that was
favored by much more than 1
point. Our defense did a good
job, proving that they can work
together to stop anything the op-
ponent can throw at them. Tlie
whole team worked together and
played a great game.
Now that the season is over,
we can only wait 'til next year
when, we hope, the team returns
to show everyone what a winning
ball club is really like. Well
done, Scots!

MARYVILLE COLLEGE, Maryville, Tennessee, December 13, 1968
No. 9
Christmas and tradition just seem to go together. When
the Christians took over the pagan festival of the winter solstice,
they retained the customs of gift giving, singing, and burning
the Yule log. Today Christmas combines these anceint traditions
with the birthday of Christ,
Here at Maryville College tradition has taken on somewhat
of a negative connotation when applied to rules and academic
procedures. But for the month of December, particularly,
tradition comes into its own as it helps us to celebrate the
coming holdiay season with a special relevance.
Making a tradition of something — whether it is decorating
a tree or reading Luke 2: l-20~not only makes the celebration
more meaningful, but adds to the feeling that without this particu-
lar tradition, it doesn't seem quite like Christmas.
The Maryville College community has recognized for years
the value of the feelings of well-being and Christian togetherness
inherent in our traditional Christmas activities.
One such tradition is the annual production of Handel's
•'Messiah" on the last Sunday before the holiday vacation.
No matter how many times you have heard or participated in
the performance, you never tire of this great oratorio, for
it tells, in a very beautiful way, the Christmas story and life
of Christ. The familiar words and music form a common bond
uniting the performers with the audience, so that students,
faculty, and townspeople under the direction of Dr. Harter
each year continue to bring the true spirit of Christmas to the
college community.
Another musical Christmas tradition atthecollege is Christmas
vespers. It offers an additional opportunity to further the
Christian sense of community at this most meaningful time
of the year. There is something, too, about an evening worship
service that takes on a greater significance at Christmas,
Perhaps it is due to the religious masic sung so well by the
choir. Or perhaps it is due to the feeling of spiritual together-
ness, and of realizing that we are a part of a continuum of
worshipping Christians celebrating the birth of our Lord.
Christmas readings in the lantern is a tradition at Maryville
that diffuses throughout the listeners the old-fashioned spirit
of past Christmases and joy in the present holiday season.
Community caroling follows, as once again the sense of community
combines with Christmas good-will in singing favorite carols.
Strains of "Silent Night," possibly the best loved carol, can
awaken the Christmas spirit in even the worst Scrooge, when
carolers sing beneath his window. The old custom of caroling
continues at Maryville to be one of the ones most signifying the
Christmas season.
The Christmas tree and accompanying decorations form a
tradition that is inextricably bound up with the celebration of
the holiday. Each dorm has a tree and a decorating party to
trim it. It is interesting to note how often the trimmed tree
will reflect the personalities of the dorm's inhabitants. A
comparison of the tree in Carnegie with that of one of the new
girls* dorms should illustrate this. Often a dorm will house
a few unusually artistic people who will contribute their time
to decorating the windows, ceilings, and anything else that
they can legally find to spray, tape, or paint. The festive dorms
add much to putting everyone into a happy holiday mood.
Christmas lights can be seen on one or two prominent trees
on the campus. If Maryville is lucky enough to have a light
snow, these trees look especially pretty at night.
All in all, the college community recognizes the celebration
of Christmas in its every aspect, religious and secular. The
perpetuation of Christmas traditions can add much to our
enjoyment of the season, as we look toward the deeper spiritual
significance.

New York (NAPS)— So you're dropping in on the Big Town
this winter?
Whether you're coming for the first lime or the fifteenth,
you're sure to be excited about your visit to the most complex,
colorful and cosmopolitan city on earth. And eager to visit
fabulous sights you've heard about or might have miss«d on
a former visit.
Since not even an avid native spending a lifetime exploring |
New York City could cover every point of interst, it's wise
to make a list of "musts" — then plan so you have time for
these top attractions with enough left over for a few of the
off-beat offerings that provide their own special enchantment
and exhilaration.
New York has two brilliant new stars and each of them belongs
on your "great sights" list. As you'll be coming in winter
you'll want to see the brand new MadisonSquare Garden Center—
the world's most spectacular sports palace where the colorful
sea of cheering spectators provides almost as many thrills
as the featured event.
The other outstanding newcomer is Lincoln Center v^ere
each of the performing arts — opera, symphony, dance and
theater — is housed in its own daringly designed building. Winter
is the peak season here with top artists featured, but even if
you can't attend a performance, the guided tour through this
unique architectural wonderland will fling you forcefully into
the future. You'll be amazed by the vast mobiles, the ultra-
modern sculpture, the gilt and scarlet decor, the dazzling
chandeliers and glass walls of these breathtaking structures.
Whether you find the ensemble aesthetic or shocking, it's
sure to be one of the most unforgettable moments of your
trip.
Put Rockefeller Center high on your "m'iit" list. A city
within a city, this midtown landmark symbolizes the dynamic
vitality of Manhattan. Here you can join the ice skaters or
watch them glide gracefully to music — then catch a glimpse
of the TV scene with a :our of NBC, Finally, there's the plush
splendor of Radio City Music Hall v^iiere you'll enjoy one of
the best bargains around: a first-run film plus the world-
famous Rockettes in a lavish stage show.
Your list will not be complete without visits to the Empire
State Building (still the world's tallest structure), the United
Nations where you can attend official meetings free of charge,
the New York and American Stock Exchanges and Chinatown.
And you'll want to sail to the Statue of Liberty and gaze down
at the superb view from her crown.
Sure, you'll want to visit all of these places, but while taking
in the "greats," don't forget the thousand and one small towns
that make up that diverse yet wonderfully cohesive conglomeration
known as the Big Town.
Of course, you'll want to shop on fabulous Fifth Avenue and
visit the giant emporiums on 34th Street and the East 50's.
But if you have even a tinge of the explorer in your makeup,
you can discover a myriad of small shops selling treasures
and tidbits Ifrom every comer of the globe.
Take a bus to the East Village where you can buy love beads
from a flower child ^^4lile getting a clear look at the middle-
class moppets who are making the mod scene even modder.
Browse for a bargain in the little antique shops along Third
Avenue. At shops along MacDougal Street you can pick up a
Mexican blanket, a pre-Colombian mask or a Portuguese pitcher,
A few blocks north, on 14th Street, there's a specialty store
selling nothing but Spanish imports.
Don't miss Broadway at night when natives and visitors
mingle amidst the razzle-dazzle of bright lights and ballyhoo,
sables and saris, diamonds and dungarees. But don't forget
the cultural explosion erupting Off and Off-Off Broadway. For
a pittance, and sometimes for free, you can frequently view
a new lay written by a budding dramatist performed in a basement
by the stars of tomorrow.
New York's restaurants are justly renowned. You will certainly
want to visit some of the famous ones, but don't miss out on
a few of the more unusual, out-of-the-way spots which often
serve gourmet dishes such as Steak au Poivre at budget prices.
Savor stuffed grape leaves and cold "tanabour" soup at an .
Armenian restaurant in the East 20's, Stuff yourself on stuffed
artichokes and lobster Fra Diavolo at a "ristorante" in Little
Italy which is one small world you'll want to see. Sup on sukiyaki
while you sit cross-legged on a Japanese cushion or dine on
finnan haddie at a famous businessman's dining room on Fulton
Street. Order Shark's Fin Soup in Chinatown or return to the
nostalgia of old Vienna at almost any eating place in Yorkville.
Whatever world you seek, you are slmost sure to find it
somewhere in this little island which cost Peter Minuit $24 back
in 1626, And when you do, remember that most New Yorkers
came from a small town, somewhere, and remain small towners
at heart, as awed by the great metropolis as you are, and eager
to share with ycni the special flavor of their own very special
town.

After the vacation we are going to realize as a community our
new governmental system. But we all in the community must
still devote much time* and energy into the final formulation of
the legeslative aspect of our community council. The newly pub-
lished proposal is still considered tentative.
We must enter into the implimentation of our community coun-
cil with unfettered realism. To be realistic cannot mean to
back into an experiment but rather must mean that we must enter
into new realms with a spirit of daring and trust. We will deny
our progressive and unique concept if we enter into the new sys-
tem with our conclusion in mind. If our conception of a true com-
munity council is to be realized we must take a chance in the ex-
periment and wait for the results. We cannot truly progress if
we concieve of the result before we operate the experiment.
Trust and respect is essential to a successful system. We
cannot afford to deny respect to our fculty. We have the best
faculty that Maryville Collete has ever had and for that reason
we must not insult some of them by believing that some in the
faculty may not have the maturity enough to judge reasonably
in matters important to the college's operation. A professor's
value is recognized in many ways more than just tenure. Trust
and cooperation is essential to our community's operation.
In this crucial step of the community's development we are
going to make history. But we will not make history if we in-
sist on denying that we are within a new situation. We cannot
operate as if we are in the same situation that Maryville has
been in for 150 years and are faced with just another incident
in the situation. When the situation changes some of the by-laws
may have to be changed to fit it. This has been done even in
our United States Constitution. If we do not investigat the new
situation we may deny history (at least philosophically) at Mary-
ville College.
This writer hopes that we can all return from a good vacation
and be ready to meet the challenge that is facing us all as a
community. But let us do it in a spirit of cooperation and dia-
logue. This must be in ^reality and not in decieving rhetoric
but to make it a reality ''we must all participate. But we all
must be allowed to participate

Dear Mr. Editor:
I have just today received the
.communication on the proposed
All College Council. After study-
ing it a short time it is readily
apparent that those who worked
on this proposal have spent much
fruitful time and energy in bring-
ing it to its present status. For
this work they should be soundly
commended.
Since I am a member of the
faculty my attention naturally
was focused on how it was to
be represented. It was at this
point that I personally became
disappointed. Therefore, 1 have
cont. p. 3
Christmas. A time for dreaming. "And visions of sugarplums
danced in their heads." Dreaming. Christmas. "I have a dream."
Gifts. Christmas-dreams-presents. A white can't know black, can't
presume to speak for black. But a dream can be shared by anyone.
("I'm dreaming of a white Christmas?") blackwhiteblackwhite!
Christmas. Christ, Christmas— any beyond, the new year—and
beyond . . . ?' Black? White? Or maybe fire-red? But then, as
Dylon says, "I wouldn't worry about it none, though. Them' old
dreams are only in your head."
Dream
I dk*eamed the Black went striding
beautiful as night, silent
but softly terrible, as he
burst through the dream's deserted streets,
stepping sewer-deep and city-tall
The jagged stars burned in his
eyes and teeth, his face shone
glassy like warm amethyst—
his grin was ringed in bonfire red,
his breath was smoke.
Jails, each bar a man, fell down
in the cool, quick fires of his hands;
crashing
but silent still, as the very winds
were halted at his feet.
The air around him shimmered,
hung spiced — it shone, it whirred.
His silver laughter razor-sliced
the skies glowing golden in the dream.
A halo of the sun was his, like
molten gold, and in its brilliance
his face flashed bronze — then black.
His enthronement in the deep and golden night
was darkness encircling the beauty of its own.

CONFIETENTIALLV^ I GIVE TWE ^AME L6CTU(^ IN ALL Of '6M."
The Highland Echo, December 13, 1968 - Page 3
I remember two years ago when an upstart student body
president tried to bring off an evaluation of teachers by students.
From the start 1 knew it wasn't right. Teachers are paid to
evaluate students and they are professionals at the job. But
students to evaluate their teachers? The very word "student"
implies a lack of knowledge for this task.
So the proposal was shot down on the trumped-up reason
that the students ought to wait until the new curriculum was
started, as any teacher evaluation would be invalid until then.
I am glad that they found a reason to stall this project, even
if the reason has long since expired, because the consequences
of a teacher evaluation are terrible to contemplate.
Consider: For the first time, the administration would have
a means of deciding whether a teacher is competent or not.
Not only would this give consideralbe more work to our already
over-worked Anderson Hall staff, it would thrust upon them
the grave moral question of how to tactfully let a rotten teacher
go. Imagine too the psychological impact on the administration
if they realized that not all of their faculty are educational
geniouses.
More than the administration, of course, the faculty benefits
from not having the evaluation. What with textbooks, class
notes, outside readings, and papers and tests (not exams-
there are no finals under our new curriculum) to read, why
add the possible insult of making a teacher read his own evaluation?
Put yourself in the place of the faculty for a brief instant. Wpuld '
you take kindly to some ignorant class criticizing your work
when you no doubt have spent every waking hour for their
benefit? The idea of a class telling a teacher how he teaches
is absurd— does not the teacher himself know better than the
student how he teaches? Obviously, a teacher evaluation would
merely add to a teacher's current duties, and might even tend
to alienate him from his class.
Finally, if the students stopped to think, they would see
that they too are better off without teacher evaluations. O.K.,
maybe you don't think a teacher is doing his job. You can see
Dean Daniels about it, and he will decide what kind of action
your complaint warrants. There is no need to go to the trouble
of filling out a form for your teachers— and why risk the grave
sociological implications of bypassing the proper channels?
In a democratic society such as ours, how could students even
consider an action of anarchy such as having all the people
involved in maintaining the quality of our teachers?
If students feel the need of expressing themselves about
their professors, maybe they should hiss a poorly-prepared
lecture. This would save us from all the above-mentioned
evils of the evaluation, while at the same time allovrtng freedom
of expression. Harvard Univeristy students do it, and it hasn't
hurt them one bit.

BLUEFIELD, Va. (CPS)— The
students and administration at
Bluefield College have decided
to keep the school's American
flag at half-mast until the end
of the Viemam war.
Dr. Charles L. Harman, presi-
dent of the Baptist junior college,
said he approved the idea after
the 250-member student body
voted unanimously for it.
ArobatQowm
One of the distinguishing things about man is his ability to
look into, and plan for, the future. This is one of the quali-,
ties that has enabled him to rise above the animal kingdom, as
the saying goes. This ability shows itself even in man's insti-
tutions M^en something as massive as the government of <Hir
nation plans for its future and endeavors to perpetuate itself,.
MaryviUe College does not exempt itself from this trait of
mankind and its creations. The decisions rendered by Anderson,
et al, apply not only to our daily existence and current usage
of our facilities, but look forward to our needs for next year
and the years to follow.
This can be noted in several events of the past year or so.
For instance, those legendary trays for the Dining Room are
in existence and have been for the past yearl Why aren't we
using them? The answer is to be found in Maryville's fore-
sight: those responsible for ordering the trays didn't bother
to determine a few associated facts beforehand. The tieup in
this case centers around the fact that these trays can't be washed
fast enough in our dishwater. Have any idea how long those
unseen men in the kitchen would be working to wash some 800
trays at approximately 6 trays at a time? A slight mistake on
the 'part of someone, and as a result those trays are stored
away, presumably awaiting Armageddon.
What are Maryville's plans for Fayerweather? We're not
sure but we presume that such a dilapidated structure will be
torn down in the not -too-distant future. Until then iffills a
place for offices for our campus publications and the displaced
Sigs (shades of Baldwin), Fine, but again such a use can only
be temporary and the future can hold little but Fayerweather's
evenmal razing. Does anyone care to estimate how much our
college has spent building their little laundromat in the base-
ment of that science building? What will happen to that invest-
ment when the college finally does tear down Fayerweather?
The machines can be recovered, if they find a place to put
them, but the labor and cement and wiring cannot. Though this
amount may seem insignificant compared to our annual budget
it is a waste and one that might have been avoided with a little
thought.
Of course there are no other examples of this sort of thing.
MaryviUe is not usually this thorough. There are other reasons'
for the books mildewing in the lost recesses of Thaw; There
are other reasons why those men in the kitchen have to slice
all your roast beef and lamb and pork and tomatoes by hand
(this is what's known as portion control), MaryviUe does not
have money to waste and so it must plan carefully for its future,
Mark McMaster
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (cont)
decided to make use of this
forum to propose some questions
to the committee in the hope
that they might see fit to reply
to them (and questions from
others) before the entire com-
munity so that we all may share
in the thinking behind the pro-
posal.
Faculty to be chosen? We are
quite fortunate to have an ex-
cellent one already in hand so
there is no need to change. How-
ever, even her staunchest
admirers will admit that she
will not last forever. What
will happen when a successor
has to be chosen?
#2 Do we need a Secretary of
the Faculty in this new organi-
zation? Why does this particular
role guarantee a permanent seat
on the All College Council? Why
is there on faculty member not
subject to community election?
#3 Why have the faculty repre-
sentatives been broken down into
three age brackets? Is wisdom
allocated by the number of years
one serves on the faculty? It
seems to me that we would be
in a better position if we found
some way to choose the best
six faculty possible, period. Can
we be bold enough to break with
tradition on this point?
I trust that this letter will
be construed as an avenue for
open and honest discussion on
the proposal and not aS a criti-
cal splashing on the excellent
work already done. I am sure
that there are answers to the
above questions. By raising
them in this manner I am merely
hoping tliat we all might be able
to arrive at the best possible
answers.
Sincerely yours,
David P.Young
To the Editor:
The College Judiciary System,
one of the first well-established
components of the new commu-
nity structure, has been in oper-
ation now for almost one year.
This is a sufficiently long period,
I feel, for us to attempt some
assessment of this system, and
the purpose of this letter is
to raise the issue for further
public discussion.
The central problem of any
judicial system is, obviously,
how to deal fairly with indivi-
duals and with the community
in which the individuals live,
and the corresponding frustration
is that the system often cannot
be completely fair to either one.
In an attempt to meet the special
conditions of our college frame-
work, the present system con-
sists of the following components:
(1) the rules and regulations of
the college, which are used to
aid the Judicial Council in its
actions
(2) the persons or bodies (e.g.
Deans, dorm councils) who bring
matters to the Judicial Council
for action
(3) the Judicial Council, con-
sisting of three students and
two faculty, which meets pri-
vately with those concerned in
a given problem and reaches
a final decision and
(4) a Review Board which, in
cases involving suspension,
meets at the request of the de-
fendant to review the case and
to present its thinking to the
Judicial Council before a final
decision is reached.
There are several clear dif-
cont. p. 4 col.l
^^^sSSS^^a'!??^™^^^^

LETTERS continued
ferences between this system
and the system operating in a
public court of law, cases in
point being the making of deci-
sions in private, rather than
public, hearings, and the dual
. Judge- Jury role of the Judicial
Council. While these differences
are of fundamental importance
and are worth careful consid-
eration as to their value, my
intention here is Just to mention
their existence before dealing
briefly with the four items above.
First to the rules and regu-
lations. One of the many rumors
which fill the air is that the
total collection of rules and
regulations is so sacred that
only a few high priests know
of its whereabouts. Having seen
them, I can vouch for the fact
that they are not carved in stone;
in fact, they look more like
a hastily assembled scrapbook,
having been pasted together from
several different sources. The
assemblage is available to any-
one in the Dean of Students Office.
Admittedly a more available copy
is needed, and this problem in
in the process of being solved,
I understand. More to the point
of this letter, however, is the
fact that many of the rules are
not clearly enough spelled out.
While it Is true that codified
law cannot hope to give an equa-
tion for Justice in all cases,
it is equally clear that state-
ments authorizing undefined pun-
ishments for "conduct unb^^
coming a M,C. student" givt
far to much legislative license
to a Judicial body.
Matters may be brought before
*^ the Council at the discretion of
' the Deans, as well as through
other channels. The discretion-
ary clause, as I understand it,
is primerialy to protect the very
important counseling role of the
Dean. It must be recognized,
however, that as a result, the
Deans have two paradoxical
roles: that of counselor and
that of prosecutor. This de-
mands that the Deans be persons
of very great personal strength
and integrity, since they will
have to face conflicting pressures
internally as well as externally.
After trying to imagine oneself
in such a position, one may well
decide that it would be more
realistic to redefine the job of
Dean and to separate these con-
flicting roles.
One of the most satisfactory
points in the newer system is
the fact that students are in a
majority on the council, giving
an increased measure of demo-
cratic control in the community.
None of the members, faculty
or student, has any legal ex-
pertise, however, to serve as
a guide in reaching decisions
which can greatly affect human
lives. 1 fell that as a result,
under the current structure, the
Judicial Council operates at a
"first aid" level of Justice. One
employs amatuer first aid only
in emergencies, when nothing
better is available. The Judicial
Council may currently be doing
an adequate Job, but how might
it do better? On a practical
level, it might be well to give
some additional formal descrip-
tion of the procedures to be
followed. For example, should
testimony be given individually
to the council or in the presence
of adverse witnesses? Should
the right of "cross-questioning"
be guaranteed? Should there be
any inadmissable evidence?
Finally, it would also be well
to reassess the role of the Re-
view Board. At present, it can
consider suspension casas only
on the question of Aether or
not there is any new evidence.
It may be that the Board was
intended to have only the narrow
role implied by this restriction,
but it might do a great deal
to increase the Justice of the
system if the Review Board could
consider cases on the basis of
unjust punishment or poor exami-
nation of the evidence as well
as on the basis of new evidence.
In many features of our lives
it is possible to make a mis-
take or to live with one and
to rectify it later. Judicial
mistakes are too often irrevers-
ible, particularly as they apply
to individuals, and any possible
means x^ich will increase the
Justice of our system is worth
immediate consideration.
As a postscript to this letter:
It seems to me that the edi-
torial pages of a weekly news-
paper are often a poor vehicle
for carrying on dialogue about
significant college issues, simply
because of the necessary printing
delays. In trying to establish
and carry on open discussion
about such issues, would it be
helpful to establish a bulletin
board in some central location
such as Pearsons Lobby where
open letters of opinion (and re-
plies) could be posted? In some
other colleges, such an "opinion
board" has served as a very
effective initial community-wide
forum for discussion.

TO THE MARYVILLE COLLEGE
COMMUNITY:
We are writing to you from
the ancient city of Beirut, Leba-
non, in order that you might
know something about vdiat we
are doing, and the places we
have visited. The days are
very busy as we attempt to ab-
sorb the ideas, historical cul-
ture, and present reality in these
regions.
The flight from New York to
Athens was long and tiring for
everyone, but we wasted no time
in wondering how we could re-
cover. Touring Greece in two
days can be intensely frustrating.
Our group is not easily discour-
aged, however, and we moved
relentlessly to see the spectacu-
lar Acropolis, the ruins of an-
cient Corin±, the ranarkable
achievements of King Agamem-
non's Mycenae, the archeological
museum and the sights, sounds,
and streets of modem Athens,
We saw as much as could pos-
sibly be seen in two days al-
though there is much more to
visit in Greece, We have come
to Beirut now and find this to
be an exciting city also. There
are so many specific events to
relate when the opportunity is
more practical.
There are thirty-two of us in
the group, and we get along
with a good spirit of compata-
bility. We have fun, but we
are starting to realize some-
thing vrtiich goes far beyond our
laughter or even our growing
knowledge of past achievements.
We are experiencing the sensa-
tions of Americanism for we
cannot escape it. We find our-
selves caught between pride in
our American accomplishments
and regret over our American
failures. People from the United
States are unmistakable in these
lands. We appear as big-
spending, curious persons who
project a peculiar sort of arro-
gance. We have a manner of
thinking which convinces us that
our way is right, and their way
is wrong. This Americanism is
unavoidable for us as we travel
in our group, take our pictures,
and wish for a little of our
food. There is a communication
gap between ourselves and these
people. It is not always so
apparent on the surface, but it
exists nevertheless on those
deeper levels which are so essen-
tial for complete understanding.
It seems that we Americans have
had an unconscious moral de-
ficiency in our ways of arro-
gance, pride, and wealth.
Perhaps it is unfair to say
we are resented, but at least
our intentions have been selfish
and misunderstood. We wisli
that we could break away from
the barriers of our nationalism
so that we could all meet here
as brothers of humanity. But
we are the victims of our world
and must face each other as
Greeks, Americans, Israelis, or
Lebanese. We will continue to
travel, gaining more of the valu-
able knowledge and wishing to
transcend the inadequacies of
our nationalism. It is a spec-
tacular trip which one must ex-
perience to truly understand. We
look forward to seeing all of
you again.

PHILADELPHIA—Twenty some
years from now middle-aged
fathers and mothers may be dig-
ging out old graduation outfits
from dusty attic storage spaces.
With a little pulling-in of the
stomach and standing up straight-
er, chances are the outfits will
look just as good then as they
do now. ..even though they are
ine}q)ensive disposable "paper"
caps and gowns from Scott
Paper Co.
The "throw-away" caps and
gowns that nobody throws away
are fast replacing conventional
cloth cap and gown rentals at
many of the country's univers-
ities, colleges, and high schools,
according to Scott Paper.
And, the souvenir aspect of
the disposable caps and gowns
is only one reason for their
growing popularity, according to
Thomas W. Klein, Scott vice
president and president of the
company's Disposable Textiles,
Inc. subsidiary.
The cap and gown the student
keeps costs no more than the
average $5 rental fee for a re-
turnable cloth outfit, Klein
claimed, and there is no need
for a deposit fee.
More than 2400 University of
Cincinnati graduates wore dis-
posable caps and gowns at their
June graduation ceremonies, and
the University of Massachusetts
also used disposable outfits,
along wi± other colleges and
high schools, Klein said.
The Scot caps and gowns,
marketed through its DTI sub-
sidiary, are available in white,
black, blue and red. They match
up in looks with the regular
outfits because of the tailoring;
shirred sleeves, cloth bindings,
and pleated front and back. The
mortar-boards are complete
with a white nylon tassel.
A President
Sees The
Light
Clinton, N. Y.-(I.P.)— American
colleges and universities have
been criticized for their fail-
ure to retain the interest or
meet the expectations of their
students.
Newly - inaugurated President
John W. Chandler of Hamilton
College recently said "...much
of what we offer students an-
swers questions which they are
not asking and ignores questions
which they are asking." He
placed a great deal of the blame
at the feet of the graduate -
schools which, he explained, have
become the central preoccupa-
tion of the liberal arts colleges.
But another part of the blame
he attributed to the undergradu-
ate colleges themselves for ig-
noring the relationship between
a student's intellectual develop-
ment and "his more general
development as a human being."

CIV: A War
Correspondent's
View
Conscienclous. hawkish, know-
ledgeable, confident of righiness,
apologetic— these terms perhaps
begin to characterize our CIV
guest on November 21. With
a somewhat difficult-to-listen-
to delivery. Mr. Lucas began
by telling us that the Viet Nam
war is a real tragedy that has
divided our nation more than
any event since the Civil War.
O.K.
Probably the brightest spot in
the message was Mr. Lucas*
prediction that a cease-fire is
inevitable in the next six months,
but he could not venture what
might follow that. His reasons
bdiind such an opinion were that
both the United States and North
Viet Nam have problems now
that were nonexistent when the
war began. Fine.
Mr, Lucas mentioned the ex-
ploitation of men and resources
that has gone on for a few years
—especially on the part of the
North and the Viet Cong—and
said that this must end soon
because of exhaustion of resourc-
es and because neither side wants
to fight a war in which no pro-
gress is being made. Of course
some radical would interject here
that there is no use in war
period, but write you own article
about that.
It seemed important that we
realize that South Viet Nam is
not a war-devastated country.
There are many happy, peaceful
areas, and American Marines
help to develop needy areas in
their spare time. The South
Viet Namese are very proud,
courageous, and ambitious peo-
ple, and they want/need (take
your pick) us^o help them become
a modem, sovereign nation. We
were assured that none of the
people want communism, but it
is difficult for them to know
quite what they do want, with
the problems of isolation and
constant war for so many years.
Our main problem seems to be
to decide if we have the right
to help them along what lines
and how much.
Mr. Lucas closed in his
"maybe - Tm - old - fashioned"
(who says this is sinful?) manner
by praising our army, chiding
communism— but expressing a
distant hope of an "understanding
with Russia—," and declaring
belief in the eventual triumph
of good over wrong. In answering
a student's question, he regret-
fully admitted that we have learn-
ed no way except war to contain
communism (isn't someone going
to claim that it is not necessary
to contain it?).
In trying to find others* opin-
ions on what especially might
be gained from this particular
program, 1 was reminded that
there was little that was ter-
ribly, excitingly original in Mr.
Lucas* speech. But sometimes
it helps to have recalled some
of the details of a very difficult-
to-report war, and after all,
what can be new in so many
years of no progress.
GTiffi
The State
Department,
Viet Nam
Our CIV for Wednesday, No-
vember 27, was Mr. Girvan
Griffith of the Viet Nam Train-
ing Center, Foreign Service In-
stitute, of the Department of
State. Talking on Viet Nam
in general, and the pacification
program in particular, he pre-
sented an interesting and very
informative presentation.
His major point was that the
Viet Nam war, to be compre-
hended, must be observed through
the eyes of the Viet Namese,
not through Western eyes. Rice,
family, and the traditions and
customs of the land constitute
the all-important items in their
lives, not politics, economics,
etc., Mrtiich Westerners worry
about. After all, as Mr. Grif-
fith stated, France ruled Indo-
china for 100 years, but China
ruled it for 1000 years. Because
of this , and because of the Viet
Namese, that of colonizer to col-
onial, the latter do not understand
Westerners. These "foreigners"
have customs and values v^ich
seem strange, and they seem to,
breed corruption and violence
wherever they go. Americans,
since they are the Westerners
most directly involved in Viet
Nam, are also the ones who must
work the hardest to understand
the people of Viet Nam. This con-
frontation will change certain
American values and ideas, says
Mr. Griffith, but this, he feels,
is definitely good. He emphasised
that we must work through the
people, and that the going will
be slow. Bmi our contributions
to the Viet Namese will be new
skills, modernization, and new
hopes for a better future.
The speaker had two things
working against him: He was
a "hawk**, if by association with
the government only, in a con-
gregation which has at least a
large minority of liberals who.
do not exactly consider the war
to be the salvation of all man's
earthly desires, and he was from
the State Department, a depart-
ment in vrtiich you usually don*t
say what you think and plan
to keep your job. In spite of
these handicaps, Mr. Griffith
aquitted himself very well. Al-
though some people have stated
that he did not answer the ques-
tions put to him after the formal
speech, in reality he answered
them, with a little guardedness,
but from an approach not
expected. When asked whether
Marxism or democracy was the
most attractive to the peasant
in Viet Nam, he did not state
that, for example, democracy
was. Instead, he took a new
tack, stating that whomever con-
trolled the particular area con-
trolled the people's political
"lean". Compared to most State
Department spokesmen, Mr.
Griffith comes through as a very
good exception to the normal
rule that such men devote para-
graphs to say that they would
rather not answer the question.
And because of his definite feel-
ing for the common people in
Viet Nam, he could not be
attacked for being a callous war-
monger. All in all, I would
rate it as a very good CIV,
One note of criticism is in
order here. Although both Mr,
Lucas and Mr. Griffith gave in-
teresting talks, I for one would
like to see the anti-war side
presented. There is definitely
some question in many peoples'
minds about the morality of this
war, and many are very confused
about what is really "right"
in regards to the war. If CIV
is to be a true learning experi-
ence, it must present all sides
to all controversies and let the
student learn what he can from
the interaction of ideas.

WASHINGTON (C PS)— Richard
Nixon says he has learned a
lot from campaigning for the
Presidency, especially in under-
standing what's on the minds
of young people.
He's been on the receiving end
of some pretty pointed messages
on signs carried by students.
One poster held high at a rally
in Burbank, Calif, especially
caught his eye. "Talk With
Us, Not At Us," the sign said.
The sentiment behind that state-
ment is indicative of what Nixon
sees as a gap between genera-
tions, a gap he thinks his new
political leadership will help to
close.
The President-elect; feels he
has made a sincere effort to
talk with students, not at them.
He offers a platform that in-
cludes ending the draft through
an all-volunteer army after the
Vietnam war is ended. He has
established a Student Coalition
to "utilize the talents and ener-
gies of the academic community
to resolve society's problems."
Nixon also would "devise new
ways by which, through long term
loans, the federal government
can further assist students to
gain a higher education." He
also says he would encourage
private enterprise to expand its
participation in student financial
aid. Nixon might support the
proposal for an "Educational Op-
portunity Bank" that would loan
students the cost of college, with
repayment dependent on future
income. The GOP Platform,
though, contains the old -dea
of tax credits for parents and
a new version: tax deductions
to encourage savings for college.
Tax advantages would also be
given to those who support pri-
vate schools, the GOP candidate
says.
Nixon also supports lowering
the voting age. Eighteen-year-
olds are old enough to vote not
because they are old enough to
fight, he says, but because they
are smart enough to vote.
Nixon promises students "a
piece of the action." Involved
in "forging tlie new direction
in America," young people will
have a better alternative than
taking to the streets in protest,
he argues.
All this sounds good to Nixon
supporters. Other members of
the academic community, how-
ever, are scared to death of
what might happen to dissent
and freedom under a Nixon-
Agnew Administration.
Their fear - and Nixon's fear
of or distaste for student demon-
strators - can be explained as
simply a difference in ideologi-
cal beliefs. To someone on
the left, someone on the right
seems far right; while conserva-
tives might be able to stomach
moderates, liberals seem too
radical.

But liberal distaste within the
academic community for Nixon
can be explained and justified
by examining the candidate's re-
marks and record.
Nixon's the one, Humphrey
supporters point out, who voted
in 1947 against a $30 million
increase in the school lunch
program. In 1960 as Vice Presi-
dent, he declined to cast the
tie-breaking vote that would have
authorized more than $1.1 billion
in federal aid for school con-
struction. He sponsored no edu-
cation legislation while a member
of Congress and opposed most
federal-aid-to-education meas-
ures.
While recently he has been more
careful in his choice of words
than his running mate Spiro T.
Agnew, Nixon clearly opposes
overt student rebellion.
Last spring he expressed his
views on the Columbia disorder,
saying students who close cam-
puses "not only disgrace them-
selves but harm the cause of
education." "More deplorable,"
he added, "is the conduct of
those professors and teachers
who condoned, encouraged or ex-
cused the lawlessness of their
students."
Nixon saw the Columbia rebel-
lion as "the first major skirmish
in a revolutionary struggle to
seize the universities and trans-
form them into sanctuaries for
radicals and vehicles for revo-
lutionary political and social
goals."
He warned that "we must not
allow the Latin. American uni-
versity of today to become the
prototype of the American uni-
versity of tomorrow... The way
to prevent it is to rid the campus
now of any student organization
or clique which applauds and S
uses the type of force employed ^

at Columbia. The place to begin
is with the anarchic students."
Talk about talking AT students.
Oppressive statements like
those make it clear that Nixon
is dealing in political double-
talk when he lists only positive
plans as "some indication of
the importance my administra-
tion will be determined to attach
to the legitimate demands of
young people of America,"
Richard Nixon refers to today's
young people as the "Great Gene-
ration." He says there is "a
new road ahead" for all
Americans. And to young people
he says, "that new and relevant
road is your road. You will
be part of the new leadership.
The challenge of change is your
challenge, because this land is
your land."
Wnile there are some passable
parts, Richard Nixon's "new
road" for young people seems
paved in doubletalk.

PASS - FAIL
Two modifications in the pass-
fail system at the University
of Utah have been approved by
the Board of Regents.
The pass-fail option has been
modified to include the *D**
grade, and the pass-fail option
card removed from the advance
registration packet and distri-
buted instead with student's com-
pleted class schedules.
Under the modified pass-fail
system, a student whose per-
formance is at the **C-** level
or above will receive a pass
("P"). If his performance is
in the '*D" range he will receive
a "D", and if his performsmce
is failing, he will receive an
'*E". Both "D" and "E" grades
will be averaged ^th the gradte
point.
The new system will also allow
a student to register and attend
a class for two weeks before
deciding whether or not to exer-
cise his pass-fail option.
The two changes are aimed
at solving the two most trouble-
some problems which developed
during the first year of the pro-
gram:
1. The tendency of students
merely to "get by" on the
pass-fail option in required
General Education courses,
and
2. The desire of many students
to change their decision con-
cerning the pass-fail opticxi
after they have attended the
first one or two meetings
of a class.
The first change will amend
the Faculty Regulations concern-
ing pass-fail to read:
In courses in which activity
or attendance is the controlling
factor in the determination of
grades, the grade "P" (pass)
shall be substituted for the grades
••A", "B", "C plus", or "C-".
The grade "P" shall carry credit
toward graduation but shall not
be included in the computing of
grade point averages.
Review of pass-fail option was
made by an Ad Hoc Committee
to Study Withdrawal and Grading
Practices.
During his freshman and sopho-
more years, a student may select
a maximum of three lower divi-
sion courses for which he will
receive pass-fail grades.
After achieving junior standing
a student who has been accepted
in a regularly-established aca-
demic major may select a maxi-
mum of six courses outside his
major department for which he
will receive pass-fail grades.
A student may select only one
pass-fail option in any one quar-
ter. __^

Honaker Banquet
A few nights ago I was privi-
leged to attend the annual Honaker
Club Football Banquet. Although
I can not share the good food
Tlie Highland
with you, I would like to share
some inpressions I got from
the occasion.
The keynote speaker for the
evening was Mr. Jim McDonald,
Assistant Athletic Director at
U.T. After a few jokes which
1 can not pass on to you, he
got into the message for the
evening. Mixed with some of
my own thoughts are some of
his.
Mr. McDonald feels that there
are certain characteristics that
make a good athlete. Citizen-
ship is the first that he men-
tions, A ball player must be
acutely aware of the fact that
he is part of the leadership
of the school. He is represent-
ing the school to hundreds of
people who are watching the team
closely. Sportsmanship is re-
quired of every man on the field.
A man must learn to knock a
man down as hard as he can
and turn around to help him up.
Loyalty is an all-important fac-
tor for the individual, the team,
and the school. One must be
loyal to oneself, the team, the
coach, and the school, and this
must continue no matter what
the record is. This year the
school has shown a definite trend
toward more sincereToyalty.
An athlete must be dependable
not only in practice and in the
game, but in his everyday work
as a representative of the school.
He must show honesty to him-
self and everyone involved in
his life. He must show re-
spect for authority. He must
tolerate others no matter how
much he may dislike them.
Togetherness is a point >^ich
is about the most important of

gether. The last four games
proved to everyone what the re-
sult of togetherness can be. But
more important, the entire school
must be together in an all-out
effort to show everyone that this
school is great, that no matter
what happens the school is be-
hind the team.
It takes initiative to make a
ball club move. It takes con-
fidence in the team to give it
initiative. It takes courage to
get the job done well.
Combine all of these character-
istics and one has a person-
ality. A ball player must have
this personality, and the school
he plays for must have it too.
Our men on this year's foot-
ball squad have done their best
to combine all of these things
in order to play good ball. Two
of these men have been chosen
to receive awards for their cHit-
standing achievements this year^
They have been chosen becau$e
they combined those character*'
i sties and put them to good usie.
Bob Mitchell received the Most
Improved Player award for hiji-
overall improvement this yeat',
and J^n McLaughlin; was pre-
sented with the Most Valuable:
Player award for his work botb
in practice and in competiti(»ii^
We congratulate these men, anC
hojpe that those who follow j^
their footsteps, as well as theses
who look on, can continue io
combine the many fine qualitiies
that are sure to result in
victory.

BASKETBALL SEASON OPENS WITH TWO WINS
:i
L%
SCOTS ROMP IN OPENER
Maryviile College opened its basketball season here with a
100-66 victory over the Johnson Bible College Preachers.
Taking an early lead the Scots controlled the ball, and were
ahead at the half 40-24. The Scots, led by Bill Padgett's 27
points, showed a great team effort in controlling the ball with
well-planned offensive tactics. Although the offensive drive
looked better in the first half, the Scots drove ahead and scored
60 points in the second half. The Preachers also scored more
in the second half, but could only bring their score to within
34 points of the scots.
The Scots, have six more games before Christmas vacation.
The final two of the six will be played here on the 16th and 17th
of December, and the others will be played away on the 3rd,
7th, 13, and 14th. The Scots will return from vacation to play
Kentucky Southern, here on January 4th.
The Scots have hopes of continuing where they left off last
year (winning, of coursel), and it looks like they have started
it off right.

POLL NAMES
MC PLAYERS
In a recent News-Sentinel Area
College Football poll, three
Maryviile players were given
a team rating and three were
given honorable mention. Named
for the offensive team were tac-
kel Dennis Shockly and center
Joe Dawson (3-way tie). Named
on the defensive team was W.N.
Osborne, in a 2-way time for
a tackle position.

fensive back Don Hickman.
Don Hickman
Don Hickman, Maryviile Col-
lege flanker back, has been named
to the Honorable Mention List
of the 1968 Associated Press*
Small College All-American
Football Team.
Hickman, a junior, from Kings-
port, Tenn., is the I9th Scot
player to be on the Associated
Press team since its inception
22 years ago.
The tall speedster tried out
for the Scot team for the first
time this year and helped Mary-
viile both on offense and defense
to its best season since 1964.
"Hickman's great speed, re-
flexes and handling of the ball,
plus a year's experience, is
counted on heavily to make the
Maryviile Scots a winner next
season," Head Coach Howard
H. (Monk) Tomlinson said today.
Don has also lettered in track
and basketball at Maryviile. He
is majoring in sociology at the
college. He was Vice-President

College, who is a permanent
member of the Council. The Ac-
ademic Dean, Dr. Boyd Daniels,
and the Secretary of the Faculty,
Dr. Carolyn Blair, are also per-
manent members of the coun-
cil.
Dinni Drake and I spent our
senior interim as religion majors
in New York City studying the
role of the church in an urban
setting. Dinni worked at River-
side Church in the nursery school
department and I did reading
and research in the area of
institutional racism. We also
did a brief study of the East
Harlem Protestant Parish in con-
nect! cm with a conference with
the pastor of one of tlie parish
churches. Church of tlie Savior.
Both of us participated in Metro-
politan Urban Service Training
seminars on urban education
under the direction of Dr. Nile
Harper, professor at New York
Theological Seminary. The sem-
inars centered around the New
York City teachers* strike.
The teachers* strike was settled
the first two days we were in
the city; yet, the conflict berwv-.en
the experimental community con-
trol school districts and the
striking United Federation of
Teachers continued. The New
York City Board of Education
was caught in the middle. The
experimental school districts are
located in largely Puerto-Rican
and black sections of New York
City and the UFT is largely
Jewish. The strike caused in-
creasing polarization between the
Jewish and black communities.
The strike and the fSoard of
Education's responses to the
striking teachers and their
leader, Albert Shanker, and the
responses of both the UFT and
the EJoard to the attempts of
black and Puerto Rican communi-
ties to keep their schools operat-
ing during the strike seemed to
be living examples of institution-
al racism. The strike settle-
ment abolished holidays pre-
viously scheduled and lengthened
school days for those students
who attended sciiool during the
strike so that teachers could
make up for lost pay; Oceanhill-
Brownsville experimental school
district was placed under a state
trusteeship; one Puerto-Rican
school principal was ousted on
a technicality; Harlem school
P.S. 39 was closed after parents
refused to let nine union teach-
ers re-enter. All these incidents
and more challenge the credi-
bility of the Board of Education's
stated support of de-centraliza-
tion through community control.
It seems as if they are not really
in favor of community control
when it means that blacks and
Puerto-Ricans will be running
their schools. Throughout this
study we met ministers and semi-
narians who had taken their
stands by helping break into
sciiool s so that children could
go to school during the strike,
by helping parents run school
offices, do janitorial work, and
keep schools open. They were
the ones who had dared to be
caught in the middle of the strug-
gle between the Jewish and black
communities for the control of
the school system. They were
the church's witnesses in a time
of racial conflict. This aspect
of the church's meager involve-
ment in rhe New YorkCjty school
crisis pointed out that the
church's mission in an urban
setting is often through secular
committees and justice organi-
zations.
The urban minister finds that
his role of enabler is to lead
his congregation in becoming in-
volved in seeking better housing,
human relations, education, busi-
ness policies for the disenfranch-
ised. Throughout all of this mis-
sion there should be constant
searching and a constant chang-
ing of structures. Even the
oldest of the urban missions,
the East Harlem Protestant Par-
ish is constantly changing its
structure and program as it eval-
uates its changing environment
and the mood of the East Harlem
community. Throughout the ur-
ban mission there has been an
air of paternalism; the move
now is away from paternalism
into organizations led by leaders
indigenous to the community. The
church must keep adjusting its
forms of ministry to fit modern
situations and communities. The
church must address itself to
the crisis in our nation and to
working for freedom and justice
for all people. The church is
relevant in some areas of urban
centers; the church does witness
and stand in opposition to the
status quo of business exploita-
tion, slumlords, universities,
white racist governments, bur-
eaucracies, and even other
churches, but the church is also
involved in perpetuating inept-

Dear Editor:
After attending the CIV program
of Dec. 5, it can only become
more evident that the lack of
communication existing between
students and administration is a
direct outgrowth of an even great-
er malaise. A lack of commu-
nication between students them-
selves brings forth a variation
of responses reaching degrees
of apathy, hostility, unconscious-
ness and distinct irreverence-
attitudes which culminate against
one or several targets. These
foci, which may include admini-
stration, faculty or individual
students who stray from the con-
servative mean are equally
threatened by both attention and
inattention. It is a little heart-
ening to realize that there is a
responsiveness involved in open
hostility and sarcasm - it may
be negative, but at least an aware-
ness is indicated. The more
prevalent reaction, however, is
apathy or vapidness which is
seen more clearly in the faces
of upperclassmen who have man-
aged to transcend hostility. The
general attitude here is of com-
plete ignorance - an isolationism
that manifests itself even further
in group orientations that tend
to encompass self and a selected
friendship body. The crisis has
reached a sad level when students
lack the motivation to avail them-
selves fully of basic modes as
a college newspaper, open faculty
offices, or discussions in the
Lantern. Representation and of-
fices are held by the selected
few - do they consciously feel
supported by a student body?
The sharp division of thought
between factions who simply tend
to think differently was clearly
illustrated by incidents occurring
in the past and the rapidly fading
present. But the gap dividing
thinkers if further widened by
the question of loyalty and in-
volvement - a basic conception
of where brotherhood lies. A
vital disappointment ofMaryville
as a progressive, "liberal" arts
college is the absence of any
dialogue between students con-
cerning prevalent issues within
the campus or nation. Education
cannot survive in such an en-
Jifolfat Qcwns
Christmas vacation is behind us and we are almost halfway
through the school year. For many of us it is the last year at
Maryville and it is largely for the seniors and to the faculty,
administration, and concerned underclassmen that I write this.
It seems not too much to ask that after spending three years and
several thousand dollars at Maryville a student would expect to
receive instruction from the best faculty his department has to
offer. And yet a glance at the Interim schedule will reveal tha:
the vas-: majority of these faculty members were involved in
freshmen or, at best, sophomore- junior level courses. This
criticism is not aimed at any department in particular. Unfortun-
ately, is it true of too many of them.
Agreed that it is important to interest the freshmen and get
them off to a good start in their college experience; but there
are a few other things to consider. Too many of the current crop
of freshmen won't graduate from Maryville. Most of them don't
know yet what they will major in. No one who is now a freshman
will want to gradua'.e from a college where his only exposure to
the best of the faculty occurs during his first year. And the Pride
of Maryville College, those students who go on to graduate
school and give us such a good name, are not going to be as well
prepared if they mu5t get their education from second-best faculty
members. Granted "a senior should be able to learn for himself"
... to a certain extent. But anyone who 'rants a self-education
could spend better time and far less money in a library.
It is not just during Interim that this happens. I have heard a
number of complaints from concerned seniors to the effect that
their major professors are just not available to them. There is an
interesting fact to be observed about our college as one walks
about the campus and glances in faculty and administration
offices. The same students are always sitting in those offices
chatting. At first one is glad to see that the faculty and admini-
stration are so accessible to the students. But then one begins
to wonder about the existence of this small group who are THE
students to talk to (from an administration and faculty viewpoint),
who are somehow appointed to committees and panels, and vrtio
have been known to tie up a faculty member's time vrtien the
senior majors of that faculty member would have liked to talk
with him, Maryville has reversed the problem at most colleges
where a student doesn't have any contact with the best of the
faculty until his senior year. In doing so we have created a
problem of our own ... the seniors have lost contact with the
faculty. But then vrtio are we ... to demand instruction from the
best Maryville has to offer... to decide who those "gifted"
faculty members are, . . to pay money for our education and then
claim the right to protest that it is invalid!
Mark McMaster
vironment.
Until Maryville's students begin
communicating and a trace of
uncertainty is erased, thecampus
cannot possibly carry thepotent-
ial on a large scale to speak
directly with a faculty and admin-
istration.

Dear Editor:
Something is happening here
What it is ain't exactly
clear . . .
It's time to stop— Hty!
What's ihat sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
round.
I start this letter with use of
several lines from e: song by
the Buff alio Springfield, "For
What It's Worth." These lines
ring true - something is happen-

Oberlin, Ohio - (I.P.)-Approxi-
mately 600 Oberlin College stu-
dents are enrolled this year in
a student-organized Experiment-
al College. Student organizers
see the experiment as an in-
strument to effect change in the
traditional curriculum.
Oberlin is not the first college
where courses outside the cur-
ruculum are available, but is
among the first to permit students
to earn credit for some of them.
Last June the College of Arts
and Sciences faculty voted that
five Experimental College cours-
es could be designated for credit
on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory
basis. They limited the number
of students receiving credit in
any of these courses to 12 and
limited students to one such
course during their college
careers.
The five courses designated by
the Senate Educational Plans and
Policies Committee as credit
courses have full complements
of 12 students signed up for
credit in Urban Politics, Black
Intellectual Thought, Computer
Science, and Contemporary Black
Life (which the student catalog
of courses lists as Are You
Experienced?). In addition, these
courses have as many as 25
auditors.
"No Protest:
Says SDS
Missoula, Mont.-(I.P.)-Former
members of the University of
Montana chapter of Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS) have
agreed to disassociate them-
selves from the national SDS
organization. At a recent meet-
ing they also agreed not to picket
the campus visit of the Central
Intelligence Agency representa-
tive in charge of CIA recruiting
interviews in the UM Graduate
Placement Center.
The SDS chapter at UM was
little more than five months old
before it was disbanded. Denault
M. Blouin, a UM English instruct-
or and a faculty adviser to the
former SDS chapter on campus,
said the chapter won't function
any more. "The SDS," he ex-
plained, "at this point does not
seem to be a feasible form for
organizing political activity."
"The reason that SDS is no
longer important on this cam-
pus," Blouin continued, "is that
UM students who were SDS mem-
bers are no longer interested in
protesting. What they are in-
terested in is living their lives
freely and they don't ihmk that
that can be done in SDS."
The Continental Trail ways and
the Greyhound Bus Services all
over the United States are an
inexpensive and quite reliable
means of transport. Let me
tell you today about a similar
organization in Germany and
Europe: theTrans-European Bus
Service, which links practically
all countries of Central Europe
and the Middle East. Unlike the
Continental Trailways and Grey-
hound services, however, this
service is something created
especially for tourists who want
to see the old continent without
spending too much money. The
whole setup is unique because
it offers not only travel for
your money but also food and
drink throughout the day and hotel
accomodation in the evening,
especially on the long-distance
lines, such as the Munich-Te-
heran or Brussels-Kuwait ser-
vice.
The European Bus Services net-
work has been established in a
joint effort by European railway
services to offer their tourist
customers travel to and through
the most beautiful areas of the
continent, and to give them a
chance of seeing places at lei-
sure, since the buses do not
run as fast as the railways.
They offer excellent comfort,
such as cozy armchairs, bars,
and radio, and there are multi-
lingual stewardesses giving sight
seeing tips to the passengers.
Travel takes place only during
daylight, and the prearranged
hotel accomodation for the even-
ing saves the traveller all trouble
with his baggage or unpleasant
quarrels with hotel clerks who
seem to speak all languages ex-
cept those you know.
TTie prices for the Trans-
European Bus trips are generally
lower than those for the railways.
A trip from Frankfurt, Germany,
to Amsterdam in Holland, for ,
example, costs only 9 dollars.
The central European daily ser-
vices follow a fixed schedule and
are not so much for sightseeing
but merely offer cheap transport.
Other lin*s combine travel with
sightseeing, which does not make
them any more expensive, as
for example the line between
Frankfurt, Germany, and Basel,
Switzerland. On this route the
"Europa-Bus" does not use the
highway along the Rhine but takes
you through the Black Forest,
not missing even one of the
famous spots there. It is a one-
day tour and costs only 10 dol-
lars per person.
The international lines are just
as cheap, although they generally
do not follow the direct route
but rather the most beautiful one,
which makes every trip a great
event. The line from Frankfurt,
to Prague, Czechoslovakia, for
example, touches Nuremberg,
Bayreuth in Bavaria, and Karlovy
Vary, a traditional and beautifully
situated resort in Czechoslo-
vakia. It goes without saying
that Spain, Italy, Switzerland,
Austria, Yugoslavia, and other
European countries are included
in this network for tourism.
The best deals offered by the
"European Bus Service** are the
so-called round trips of one or
more European countries, which
include everything from food to
hotel accomodations. One of
these roundtrips, for example,
is the three-day "Storybook-
Castle-Tour**, visiting all the
famous medieval castles along
the Rhine, the Mosel River, and
the Westerwald Mountains. To
make it even more beautiful, the
tourists will spend ±eir nights
in castles which have been turned
into hotels. And what does it
cost? 89 dollars per person.
Other classical roundtrips are
the two-weeks tour of Yugoslavia
for 179 dollars or the seven-day
Switzerland tour for 137 dollars.
Great attractions for globe-
trotters are the long distance
lines between Central Europe and
the Middle East. The trip from
Munich, Germany, to Tdieran in
Persia takes exactly 8 days,
with one day of rest in Instanbul,
Turkey. It costs 93 dollars,
including food for the vfhole time
as well as hotel accomodations
for seven nights. You are of
course free to interrupt your
trip wherever and whenever you
wish and jump on a bus of the
same line one or two days later.
If I had the time, I would make
this trip: TTie one from Brussels,
Belgium, to the Sheikdon of Ku-
wait in Arabia, on the Persian
Gulf, \^ich takes 10 days and
costs 113 dollars, as usual in-
cluding food and hotel.
Whenever you plan to travel to
Europe, you should also consider
the services offered by these
"Europa-Buses**, \^ose time-
tables and price lists can be
obtained at every travel agency
and railroad station.

JANUARY MEETINGS
Singing Sisters
The Medical Mission Sisters
are a religious community found-
ed in Washington, D.C., in 1925,
by Mother Anna Dengel, a young
Austrian physician. The com-
munity first field of work was
northern India. Now numbering
over 700, the Medical Mission
Sisters work in 14 countries of
Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Over 50 of the Sisters are doc-
tors, some Board-qualified spec-
ialists. Others are nurses, mid-
wives, pharmacists, medical
technologists, administrators,
dieticians, etc.
The Medical Mission Sisters
care for over 1,000,000 patients
a year in their 33 hospitals
in Asia, Africa, and Latin Ameri-
ca. In most of their hospitals
they offer training programs for
local people in nursing, mid-
wifery, and other para-medical
skills.
Sister Miriam Therese is the
leader of the "Singing Sisters,"
who are all Medical Mission
Sisters. She is a guitarist and
a composer by hobby. Her folk
songs are called from the Bible
and are often referred to as
"The Bible with a beat." In
this year's Popular Awards list-
ing (ASCAP), Sister Miriam The-
rese joined such outstanding
composers and artists as Joan
Baez, Judy Collins, and Herb
Alpert,
TTie group's albums include
"Joy is Like the Rain** (1966).
"I Know the Secret** (1967),
"Mass of a Pilgrim People**
(1967), and "Knock, Knock."
Several of these are available
in the Fine Arts Center library.
The group will be on campus
January 31-February 2.
The Key of CIV:
Frustration
CIV is unique in that it is
one of the few instruments
through v^ich the entire college
community can communicate
through dialogue. The whole
campus can be involved in a
search with a single issue per-
meating college dialogue. It
hasn*t worked out that way. Many
of us are not yet ready for
intense confrontation. It's frust-
rating to be confronted, and this
is the key of CIV. The greatest
problem confronting the CIV con-
cept is how to permeate the entire
college community and stimulate
communication and search.
Many students have been turned
off, if we are to judge by com-
munications on campus, by a ,
misunderstanding of the attend-
ance policy. Many feel that you
have to be here every time wheth-
er you are engaged in a search
or not. Such is not the case.
The CIV attendance requirement
is simply that over a period of
four years you obtain three cred-
its. A credit' is obtained by
attending 30 CIV's. And let
me stress that this doesn't
mean 30 a year; it means 30.
If you come to 26 this year, after
you have attended 4 next year,
you are an official recipient of 1
credit, and nobody can take it
away from you. And than you
are on your quest for the next
30. So that out of 34 offerings
per year you then are asked to
attend 90; 34 per year is 136
over the 4 -year span, which
means 90 out of 136. My mathe-
matics shows this to be 66%.
This for an academic credit is
quite liberal, because in most
academic courses this is assum-
ing 100% retention of knowledge
to get a credit. I don't want to
be associated with an educational
process where compulsion is
confused with learning.
CIV plans to present topics
in series with as much diversi-
fied opinion as possible. The
January emphasis on religion
and the role of Christianity is
followed by a planned five-part
series concerned with the ac-
complishments and role of Black
America. Next year it is the
desire of the CIV Committee
that this format of a series be
used much more effectively than
has been possible this year.
CIV deals with attitudes and
opinions. College comnnunities
are accused of being unaware of
the many facets of world living
and the contemporary scene. CIV
does not alleviate this nor does
it propose to. But it can offer
me the possibility of information
and confrontation. The infor-
mation and confrontation is de-
pendent upon the guests invited
and college students, faculty,'and
administraion and the willingness
of each of these to interact.
It has succeeded. It has failed—
because I have succeeded and
I have failed in my personal
quest for knowledge.

Contd. from p. 2
only teachers, missionaries, and
seminarians. Not all our build-
ings are contemporaries of the
Stanley Steamer, and our social
activities are not limited to
square dancing, a rousing game
of touch-oh-so-gently football,
and frolicking about the May
Pole. Those connotations of
Maryville College are dead or
mortally wounded. Those who
persist in perpetuating this im-
age, or insist that we still dwell
in such an antiseptic void are
fools.
Maryville has changed. We have
acquired many new things which
we are aWe to use for the better-
ment of our education and the
continuing growth of the status
of Maryville. In recent years
we have acquired a new dean,
an All College Council, some,
new faculty, and maybe most
important, a new student body..
Those areas that have not been
officially changed have been
altered as integral parts of the
college structure. The sports
program is radiating hope, the
societies are increasingly funct-
ional, the Echo is no longer
limited to reiteration of campus
gossip and stale announcements
from the catacombs of Anderson
Hall, the religious life is suffer-
ing' a drought, and social activi-
ties have expanded beyond the
limits of the Capitol Theatre and
the college woods. This is the
time of transition and newness.
We are locked in a period of
transition and there is no escape
from our position. We have
taken a few major steps which
are still making their effects
felt throughout the college. The
new curriculum, the ending of
chapel and the institution of CIV,
and the yet to be experienced
All-College Council, are monu-
mental steps for Maryville. We
have repositioned ourselves to
such a position that we face only
superficial structures, but also
involves our attitudes and our
status as students, faculty, and
.administrators. It is change that
goes far beyond us and our few
years at Maryville College.
The key to our ability to make
the most of this change and
to crecce a better system for
us the future, lies in being aware.
We must be aware — all of us —
of the world, of Maryville, of
the past and the present, and
of ourselves. We can no longer
afford isolation. For all of us
like it or not, our future has
roots in Maryville College.
Maryville's future has roots in
us.
For those who would remain
as a cancer, or retreat further
into the seemingly comfortable
wombs that they have entrapped
themselves in, I propose they
listen to these words of Bob
Dylan:
You walk into the room like
a candle
And then you frown
You put your eyes in your
pocket
• And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
against you coming around
You should be made to wear
earphones.
•Cause something is happen-
ing here
And you don't know what it
is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
For those who are willing to
be aware, to make confronta-
tions, and to be real, I offer
the comforting words of A.C.
Powell: Keep the Faith, baby.

NEW SKIRTS!
Some of you basketball fans
may have noticed the new addi-
tions to the cheerleading squat i.
The girls are wearing a new
outfit—basically orange with a
garnet pleated skirt. They look
good, girls!
Also, we have seen signs of a
pep band at the last two games.
Against Clinch Valley a group
of men played, and a group of
women, "The Better Half," as
they call themselves, played at
the Mars Hill game. Dining
Hall appearances were also made
by the bands. It is good we
see this kind of support each
week. Let's keep up the good
work, gang I
Nye Pins Man
The Scots' wrestling team has
had a rough start, and cheir
recent loss to Milligan does not
help morale much. Ray Nye,
our star on the mat, was the
only one to win in this meet.
He pinned his man in 3 minutes.
(Nye also pinned his opponent
in the U.T. match.) Unfortun-
ately, his teammates did not do
the same, and five were pinned,
four lost to points. The final
score was 5-37, a crushing blow
to the Scots,
We can only hope that they
will do better in the future. We'll-
be right behind them all the
way. Go get 'em, Scots!
Scots Look Good
The Scots, returning to M,(..
after vacation with a 4-3 record,
have played four more games,
bringing thair record to 5-6,
with their loss to Mars Hill.
Opening ihe new year with a
heart-breaking loss i)y one point
to Kentucky Southern, the Scots
have played hard and well. The
biggest margin they have lost
by is five points.
Returning after a win over
Clinch Valley College, the Scots
lost another close one to Mars
Hill. In that game, the Scots
seemed to have difficulty con-
trolling the ball during the first
half. Some coaching strategy
which did not work too well
added to the problems. They
led by only small margins during
the first half, and Mars Hill
dominated the rest of the game.
Shooting for at least a 50-50
season, the Scots seem to be
doing fine. They are definitely
doing better than last year. Such
men as Mike Barrows, Dave
Maxwell, Bill Padgett and Warren
Morgan are setting the pace,
and the rest of the team is
following. In the Mars Hill
game, Morgan showed his talent
for rebounds, liarrows scored
two points for every minute he
played, and Padgett scored well.
Against Bryan College, Maxwell
showed excellent leadership.
Overall, the Scots are looking
good, and we can look for a
good remainder of the season.

On Tuestlay, January 22, several
pecp^e who took part in the Inaug-
uration Vigil on Monday, January
21, received New Testament quo-
tations in their mailboxes. The
quotes came from Matthew 6:
5-6. 'Hie messages were typed
aind doubled spaced. None of
them were signed so the sender
or senders remain unknown. The
message dealt with the open dis-
play of prayer.
It has been noted by a number
of people on campus that this
is not unusual for the Maryvifile
College Community to hear of
condemnations throuj^h indirect
sources or thrtHigh anonymous
ilotes. It has been suggested
that the -anonymous ccHjOemnation
be poetry of India.

EDITORIAL
"The program for the future. is either a permanent dialogue
or the solemn and significant putting to death of any who have
experienced dialogue," (From "Resistance, Rebellion, and Death"
by Albert Camus)
I was reminded of this thought one day last week when I had
a short conversation with a man and our publisher Mrs. Mangrum
at the ENTERPRISE office, Mrs. Mangrum was explaining oUr
enlightened All College Council system to the gentleman and
said ±at students and faculty and administrators sat together
and "ran" the college functions. 1 explained very briefly that
it was rather a concept that the entire community took responsi-
bility for insuring that the community was open because the ties
of communication were at least potentially secure or were
about to be. At this point the man looked at me and asked if
there werp going to be any riots this year. I answered that
there were not.
I had time to think about the conversation then and wondered
why I was able to answer the man so quickly. I feel that I was
able to because I really believe that communication can really
be met NOW in OUR community. Why? Really there are or
have been times that I doubted it.
The All College Council has met two times now and after
each meeting, like two days later, the entire minutes have been
published and posted. That is, on almost every bulletin board
on campus. Just check. 1 think also that there is no objection
for anyone to sit in on a council meeting. Some of them are
very interesting.
The entire community is included in the management of the
college. There are places for possibly 250 people on the major
committees. Those are committees like Interim, Independant
Studies, Publications (gulp!), etc.:
I really believe that there is a vehicle to work out all of our
ideas and a place to open up all of our disagreements. Now
there is no reason for anonymous condemnations and closed
criticism. Let's all be open. My staff and I would like to state
again that this newspaper is also open to all people of the
community. I do not censor any material and the only editing
that is done is for gramatical or mechanical reasons only, (Rest
assured, however, that I am not the person that makes the
gramatical corrections. Somebody goes over my writing too.
Woe to the editor who can't spell.)
I don't know if this is a college that ever needed a riot or if
this is a college that ever had one or almost had one. But I
do know that the campuses that did have riots are ones that the
students or others felt that they did not have any voice in how
to operate what is an important part of their lives. Maybe our
attempt to communicate with each other will fail. But maybe
it won't. But I do know that we have to be honest and to be
honest we have to be active and OPEN, If we don't maybe our
college won't last much longer and so we must have "... a
permanent dialogue or the solemn and significant putting to
death of any who have experienced dialogue."

NUDE!
ROCHESTER, Mich. (CPS) —
An Oakland University senior,
departing to spend the rest of
his life in a Shavite Monastary
in India, has left a legacy which
may live to haunt administrators
of this small state college for
years to come.
Lee Elbinger, a world-traveler,
mystic, disrupter and embel-
lisher of the Oakland University
community for the last 4 years,
made his parting shot at the
world of academia last month
by giving a lecture on "Yeats'
conception of freedom" to an
audience of 40-50 people, with
only his bare skin between his
soul and his audience.
The lecture was given as part
of a class project which included
readings, music and mystic
vision in an evening devoted to
Yeats in Oakland University's
Barn Theatre. Elbinger's un-
robing climaxed the evening.
Standing nonchalantly eating an
apple before the students and
faculty in attendance (the pro-
duction, although not well publi-
cized, was open to. the public),
Elbinger discussed the hang-ups
societies have : had . dbout : sex :
and the body "ever since the
propagation of the Adam and
Eve myth. The body is a thing
of beauty, and people should free
themselves of notions which
cause them to be ashamed of
what they should delight in,"
he said.
Elbinger said the reason he
understood Yeats* conception of
freedom (Yeats had written little
about it), was because he was
W. B. Yeats reincarnated. "Since
I am Yeats, and since I am
standing before you naked eating
an apple, you now know what
Yeats' conception of freedom is.
That's aU."
A dish of candy in hand, Elbinger
walked into the audience giving
gifts and engaging in conver-
Cont. P. 3 col, 5
If you have been in the Office of the Director of Development
lately, you have probably not noticed that one wall of the office
is devoted to a machine that looks remarkably like a wall, but
is really a computor in disguise. IBM was fortunate to be able
to sell this fi^fjf computor to Maryville College, because during
its stay at IBM it did nothing but make mistakes.
And Maryville was fortunate to be able to buy this H^i^t^iif
wall from IBM, if for no other reason than it was cheap for the
price. But there are other reasons. Consider the following true
story:
The President of the Senior Class, knowing not what to suggest
to have his class give the College for the traditional graduation
present, approached the Office of the Director of Development
with his problem. Speculating what followed, imagine the
Director (ever conscious of the future of the College), feeding
pertinant facts into the ;^^;jf computor. For example— "We
need something to further the academic atmosphere of ±e
College; we need something to promote spirit; something that
will enhance the total image of the College; and something that
future classes can benefit from*"
Now any of us, given such facts, would guess that the com-
putor would suggest something like a donation to the library,
or the establishing of a fund for better (i.e., student-chosen)
speakers. But the i^MHUi wall, which, face it, has seen a
lot more of what goes on than we have, im-nediately decided
that what was needed to fill the above requirments, and a lot
more besides, was a College Flagpole and Flag to plant in front
of the Chapel, and perhaps a College Mace to lead any for±-
coming processions.
As a rule, I do not argue with computors, but this one has left
itself wide open, and as it cannot defend itself unless it is
. -jjrogram'ned to re^d. niy arguments (Sotiiediingwfeich I would
never do!), I feel safe to dissent.
Of what use is a flag? It does not represent the spirit of the
class of '69. It does not aid in the furthering of the goals of the
school. In fact, it does nothing except sit there and cost $500.
With that much money, imagine what the class could donate
besides a flag— new books, new speaker funds, maybe even a
new computor fund.
Or maybe I am just being unreasonable and looking at only
one aspect of the idea. With a Flag, we would be justified in
paying someone to compose a pledge of allegience to it; from
there, we could adapt a special salute to be used when passing
by the Flag; our Highland Band could prepare a call to the
flag; we could open a new student help job (paying, say, $500
a year) for someone to raise and lower the flag; a color gaurd
could be organized to escort the Flag in parades; and special
uniforms could be issued to the student body, who could then
follow along behind the Flag in orderly ranks and files. What
a glorious spectacle it would be for returning alumni to view!
No, 1 was wrong to question die computor of the Director of
Development. The College needs a Flag, and it needs one now!

COMMENT
Man must function within
society. That is not new, it is
not earth-shaking, but it seems
to be an enigma in this day
and age for many men who are
called upon to act and react
by a system that excludes them.
These men are denied the right
of interact by virtue of their
skin color. This inhuman prac-
tice raises a major question,
how can this discrepancy be
alleviated?
Some have postulated theories,
others have urged active resist-
ance, and many have decided
not to do anything. The answer
to this major question is vague
and hidden for these people. The
people who are maldng positive
advances, however, are function-
ing with our society with social
betterment as a goal and are
getting positive results.
Some today are not functioning
due to a lethargic apathy for
what society has apparently done
to and for them. They should
take stock of their situations
and compare their plight with
the condition of others in the
world. Their attitude of pessi-
mism is not representative of
the nation, or society, only a
fragment of it. There is a
cry for much needed social
justice. This cry is being heeded,
but Big Brother cannot do every-
thing. The non-functioning man
feels disoriented by what has
not been accomplished on the
domestic scene. , His^jr/eactioa.
to these stimuli is negative and
he wishes others to cope with
them because they are foreign
to his value system. Contrary
to his understanding, steps are
being taken to change things and
his aid is important to their
success.
Many today function, but their
function is not conducive to social
harmony. Their reasons are
varied and personally valid for
each of them, but they are not
contributing. Their efforts are
far from benevolent and their
machinations are hardly bene-
licial. They look to their role
as that of a fuse, a spark used
to start a magnificent chain re-
action that will supposedly result
in an harmonious, glorious Utopia
for all to live in. In observing
harvests of their designs, it is
easy to see th&t they are mbni
of a deterrant than a catalyst'
to social change. Some defend
these activists by saying that
what they desire is social bet-
terment and sane political policy
at home aad abroad, but it goes
deeper than that.
Those today who are functioning
within the limits set by society
are making positive strides
toward social betterment, towai-d
financial security for all, and
toward a better society. They
are doing so by working to change
man's mind and this is slowly
being accomplished. The rub
to many in this age of speed
is that the accomplishment is
no: fast enough. Remember that
man cannot be coerced, but must
be convinced; man cannot be
programmed, but must be per-
suaded. The desire of the
functioning man is not to say
"it was my doing," but to be
able to say "I wa3 a part of
whac was done by all.*'

Procedure
for 1969
Ray Swartzback-— Captain Cool
— Preacher — Cheerleader —
Prophet — -a man who had quite
diverse effects on may people.
CIV, January 17- — ^How can one
tactfully (he probably can't)
questicm the use of hymns in
these things? Like very few
people, pay attention — -much less
sing -^ to them IN CHURCH
SERVICESl A bunch of kids
who have no plan of gathering
to worship are going or maice
even less (I) use of them^ right?
Enou^ said.
Getting back to Swartzback, it
seemesd that nearly everybody
listened to him . . , but I got the
impression that few supported
him, and that they reacted against
what he said because they re-
acted against him. Me too.
But I thought, "Why not give the
guy d second chance, since I'm
free Saturday night, and since
I have to write an article about
him and don't understand him.."
So I cut my way through the
•fog to the House in the Woods,
and as happened last year with
the chaplain from USC, a dis-
cussion was much more im-
pressive than a speech. We
talked about his particular and
very unique church situation,
which is not in our Judeo-
Christian educated concept of
the word church. Oh yes, the
question was brought up several
times as to ^at we could and
maybe should do with a Maryville
College "church." I won't give
any details here, but ask some-
one who went. Quite a few did
go. Dr. Swartzback's main
challenge to us was to "structure
a confrontation" with the larger
community of Maryville. It
seems that we should use any
means possible to force a head-
on meeting with those whom we
live with geographically.. ...
About the church in general.
Dr. Swartzback that in its
present over-all state, it is "in
a peck of trouble," We agree,
of course, but this statement
along with most ql the other
content gave the impression that
he was trying very hard to say
things that would sound good to
us. Now the question is, does
he deserve credit for trying,
or is it better to say your
bit in sweet oblivion? Dr. Swartz-
back expressed a magnificent
optimism about the ^ future of
the church and the potential
it occasionally demcmstrates,
mostly among young people; we
learned of some of these Satur-
day nighp. (But the best part
was vrtien some -of us reacted —
yes, it really happened on this
campus — to him and to each
other. Maybe this is why the
discussions are so much better.)
Why can't I stay on the subject?
Throughout the CIV and the
Saturday discussion (What hap-
pened Friday at the lantern?),
I missed one idea that is usually
prominent when there is talk
of working with and for other
people. I am referring to the
importance of love, the accepted
prerequisite in all successful
relationships, .Christian or no.
Then Sunday I think I found the
answer. The sermon "The Im-
portance of Self," was not quite
what was expected. Dr. Swartz-
back claimed that one must love
and respect himself BEFORE
• he can love his neighbor and
God. Swartzback really loves
himself ~ that's why he is so
brash, so excited, so exciting I
And that's why he didn't dwell
on the use of love in working
with others — because it comes
so naturally to him! Maybe
his self-love is extreme, but
so are most of his traits.
Progress is m.ade through ex-
tremism. Ask Swartzy. In a
town smaller and more con-
servative (?) than Maryville, he ■
has a "church" that is three-
fifths townies— including many
blacks (I said I wasn't going
to tell you). Others react to
extremism. Ask the students
on the Session in Swartzy' s
church. Ask the activists at
Wooster. Ask the listeners at
Maryville.

Every Mohdaiy and Thursday
afternoon the intramural gym
is the site for the women's
basketball competition, Sponsi-
ored by the Women "^s Athletic :
Association, and under die
direction of Physical Education
instructor Mrs. Carl Davis, six
teams are involved in the weekly
games.
The women play according to
special rules set down for them.
They play on half a court and
for four six-minute quarters.
The scoring is the same as in
regular ball. Officiating is done
mostly by physical education
majors, but other qualified girls
fill the position.
Scoring is low in these games,
but action is far from lacking.
There have been ten games so
far, played by two Theta Epsilon
teams, two Chi Beta teams, an
independent team, and a team
of town students.
Plans are being made by the
Women's Athletic Association for

MUSICAL - DRAMA
"THE CONSUL"
MaryviUe College's presenta-
tion of the musical-drama "The
Consul," by Gian-Carlo Menotti,
^ will be given on Friday and
Saturday, February 21-22, at 8:15
p.m. in the MaryviUe College
Theatre.
Tickets are now on sale at
the Ticket Office, located in the
Office Annex behind Anderson
Hall. Tickets may also be pur-
chased at the door before each
performance. Price of tickets
will be $1.50 per person. All
seats will be reserved.
"The Consul," which premiered
in Philadelphia in 1950, has re-
ceived many awards since its
introduction. It received two
of the outstanding theatre awards
in 1950; the New York Drama
Critic's Award for the best
musical; and the Pulitzer Prize
for the Best Music in a Musical
Drama.
The story takes place in a
small satellite country which is
under a larger power. The scenes
alternate between the shabby flat
of a workman and the reception
room of the consulate, obviously
that of a free country. The
main characters of the production
(John and MagdaSorel) are shown
to be fighting against unnamed

REVIEWED
Making no pretension to any
seat of poetic criticism, I will
not attempt any serious review of
Al Keim's India Poetry Reading
in the Lantern, Rather I will
try to verbalize a few thoughts
about that reading. Listening to
Al was similar to listening to
the Great Society, and I refer not
to LBJ but to an almost-forgotten
rock group, or to a jam session.
It was a fascinating amalgam of
mediocrity and brilliance. There
were the phrases that hung in the
mind, images that suddenly clar-
ified everything. There was the
mood that suddenly and com-
pletely overwhelmed in poems
like Dust Storm. There were the
places where Al lost his audi-
ence, wrtiere it was suddenly too
much InJia, too much Al, and
too little for anyone else to grab
on to. Lines grated now and then,
images failed, poems dragged a
bit, and we were left gaping at
IiKiia on a travelogue. But it
didn't happen often, and the beauty
did. There were enough times that

UNION . . DR. COPELAND
Dr. Joseph J, Copeland, Presi-
dent of MaryviUe College, was
elected President of the Presby-
terian College Union at its annual
meettng in Pittsburgh, January
13, having served as Vice Presi-
dent in 1968, and as a member
of its executive board, the Nexus
Committee, for a number of
years.
The Presbyterian College Union
is composed of 46 colleges re-
lated to the United Presbyterian
Church through its Board of
Christian Education. All are
institutions fully credited by their
regional and state agencies, and
this is one of the requirements
for membership. They have a
total enrollment of more than
58,000 students, including nearly
800 foreign students and more
than 5,000 graduate and special
students. Faculty members num-
ber more than 4,000.
•'Summer and Smoke," vt^ich
will be presented by the Mary-
viUe College Playhouse on March
7-8 in the College Theatre, at
8:15 p.m., is said to be one of
the most haunting dramas to
come from the pen of America's
foremost dramatist Tennessee
Williams.
Though this drama is complete
in itself, it might be said to
Summer
Vacation in
Hawaii?
Dr. Robert E, Cralle, Executive
Director, The Adler University
Study Tour to Hawaii, has an-
nounced that reservations are
now being accepted for the 1969
Study Tour to the University
of Hawaii Summer Session.
Special rates for students and
teachers for the 43-day program
to Honolulu begin from as low
as $499. Prices include round-
trip Pan American jet air travel
from the West Coast, accom-
modations in campus dormi-
tories, deluxe Waikiki Beach ho-
tels or apartments, plus a full
schedule of 22 social and sight-
seeing activities. Exciting Island
trips, tours, cruises, dinner
dances and beach parties make
up the extracurricular program
available to members.
Both students and teachers at-
tending the 6-week University
of Hawaii Summer Session can
earn extra credits from a dis-
tinguished faculty who offer an
unusual range of subjects. Cred-
its earned by students are nor-
mally transferable to most Main-
land colleges. Teachers, in addi-
tion to gaining progress toward
salary increases and sabbatical
leave, may usually qualify for
tax deductions on the Program
when their activity is related to
professional advancement.
Dates for jet air departure to
Hawaii are June 14 with return
by July 26, 1969. Ad added
feature of this year's program
is the offering of an extension
trip from Honolulu to the Orient
or Tahiti after completion of
Summer Session.

form the third item in a notable
triangle by Tennessee Williams,
of which his previous successes,
the Pulitzer Prize-winning "A
Streetcar Named Desire" and
"The Glass Menagerie" are its
other components.
Although the heroines of the
three plays are different, they
are alike in that they are pictured
in each case as a woman
struggling to overcome a des-
perate predicament.
Alma Winemiller, in "Summer
and Smoke," Uke Blanche du
Bois in "A Streetcar Named
Desire," is a Southern spinster,
younger than Blanche, but no
less frustrated. Alma is also
as painfully lonely as the pathetic
Laura who collected glass ani-
mals in "The Glass Menagerie."
The play pictures Alma Wine-
miller to be a vocal-teaching
daughter of an Episcopal mini-
ster and a half-demented mother,
living in a small Mississippi
town, and growing up into a
painfully self-conscious young
woman, excessively proper, and
prematurely spinsterish.
The play sets out to show how
from childhood Alma has loved
the boy next door v^o continually
taunts her about her speech and
her prissy ways.
The boy has gone off to medical
school and upon returning Alma
again makes a bid for his affect-
ions but is doomed to failure,
for apparently the boy is not
through sewing his "wild oats."
The play takes you through a
brooding summer and winter in
this little Mississippi town with
Alma muddling through awkward
coquetry and needless bloodshed,
which ultimately brings about
her great tragedy as this causes
her childhool sweetheart to give
up his "wild oats" and settle
down to adult responsibilities
and become engaged to a girl
who once had been a vocal-
pupil of Alma's.
According to one New York
drama critic, writing of "Sum-
mer and Smoke" upon its Broad-
way opening, "Tennessee Wil-
liams has never been more suc-
cessful in creating a mood than
in this play. He has cast over
his story of a pathetic young
woman's bid for ha^Jiness,"
according to this critic, "so
rich an atmosphere of life in
a small Southern town that
audiences feel as if they had
been Uving in Tennessee Wil-
liams' Glorious HiU, Missis-
sippi, by die end of die evening."

EDITORIAL
It has been brought to my attention that there is a definite
need for a few people >^o are spectators at our games to stop
using vulgar language in place of cheers. This applies mainly to
some of the terms used to express disagreement with the
referees. It is now always ^e case, but the game against Milligan
proved to be the worst display of poor sportsmanship I have
seen at this college. It is true that the referees left something
to be desired. The record shows Milligan with 35 for 41 attempts
at the foul line, while Maryville went with 8 for 14. The referees
seemed a little inconsistant in calling fouls for one team and
not for the other. The Scots outscored Milligan in field goals
by 20 points, yet lost the game by seven. It does not seem
fair, i)ut there is nothing that can be done after the referee has
called a foul. Booing and swearing will not change the call, and
enough name-calling is bound to bring on a technical foul against
the team.
Ever since I began writing for the Echo I have stressed
by desire to see all of you out there cheering for the team, no
matter what happens. I still stress this desire. But 1 also
stress that if you can only come up with four-lettered cheers,
we DON'T need you out there cheering, for you are only hurting
the team.
There are ways of displaying your dismay with the refs, and
there are ways of investigating his au±ority and eligibility, but
the use of vulgarity is not one of those ways. So please, keep
coming to the games, but think twice before you open your
mouth. Thank you,

OUR MAN IN BERLIN
U. N. M. HAS IT . . .
LET M. C. BE NEXT!
Albuquerque, N.M.-(I,P.) -Work-
ing with faculty, after a year and
a half of planning, student gover-
ment representatives at the Uni-
versity of New Mexico have dra-
fted a satisfactory faculty evalu-
ation program.
The new project was given a
scientific empha^^is with the help
of Prof. Ralph P^orman of the
psychology department, and
administrative consultation thr-
ough Dr. Harold Lavender, vice-
president for student affairs.
There are several purposes for
the evaluation. It is hoped that
a bank of information will be
formed which can be used as one
factor in determining fac-
ulty tenure, salary, and promo-
tion. Another idea behind the
plan is to provide feedback for
the professor which will help
him in improving teaching
methods,
Louis Leurig, director of the
Data Processing Center, esti-
mates the cost of the program
at between $6500 and $7700 a
year for his department. This
figure could rise or fall as new
problems arise or more work-
able methods are devised. All
information obtained will go into
a file cabinet at xhe center.
Classroom procedures are
featured in the plan. Techniques,
pace, goals, and student parti-
cipation are some factors to be
judged.

THE MARYVILLE ENTERPRISE
Jan. 31 — Daily events at West
Berlin's sprawling FreieUniver-
sitat appear routine as students
sip beer and eat Eintopf in the
Mensa, sidewalk rhetoric fills
the air, and thousands of mime-
orgraphed leaflets are distrib-
uted. Even the patrolling police-
men are by now a familiar sur-
rounding. Today, however, there
is a permeating^ urgency- class-
rooms are bar racaded with furni-
ture, graffiti blares from every
wall and window, and the police
have increased ten-fold, now
camping around their water can-
non and makeshift kitchens. Since
Jan. 15th most University facul-
ties have been on strike. As
the school teeters on the brink
of closure, the Berliners again
find themselves at the forefront
of world-wide protest, simul-
taneously confronting their
unique local dissatisfactions with
the caste system labeled educa-
tion.
The situation here revolves
basically around three themes:
(1) traditional inequalities in-
herent in German education
allowing no dialogue or share
of power between students, facul-
ty and administration, specifical-
ly emphasizing unnecessary bur-
eaucracy found in Zwischenpru-
pungen (intermediary exams) and
various departmental oddities;
(2) the refusal of Dr. Harndt,
the F,U. Rektor, to permit the
institution to take firm stands
in areas of social concern, and
his imposing of Hausordnung or
rules designed to squelch pro-
test, keeping the "house in
order"; (3) the city government
of Klaus Schutz and his SPD
party which claims the right
to influence administration of
the F.U., and supports a quest-
ionable judicial system. Tech-
nically, the city is still under
a state of military occupation
with the allies (usually the U.S.)
having final authority, and this
latter situation further under-
lines the screwed Berlin politi-
cal scene, already in turmoil
over conflicting interests of the
SPD, CDV, and NPD (so-called
"Neo-Nazi") parties.
Events become more compli-
cated since German students,
unlike their French counterparts,
don't enjoy solid support from
the working class, except per-
haps in the matter of the judicial
system. The Berlin population,
as a \^ole, is terribly conserva-
tive, an understandable trait con-
sidering the Nazi period, the
annihilation of Germany, and the
booming recovery. The students,
however, weren't around during
these times and can more easily
realize the Old Germany has been
destroyed by the ideologies and
powers of East and West. It
makes more sense to them to
stop seeking the isolation and
long term destruction of the so-
cialist world, and accept it as
a responsible partner in the hope
that such recognition would make
something better of both systems.
Vaguely, there now exist two
contrasting poles of opinion, with
the younger generation maintain-
ing the end of World War II
absolutely crushed the Old
Europe and swiftly inaugurated
another, and their elders refusing
to concede that in some ways
it may have. In any event,
from the student perspective,
the U,S. and Russia don't seem
overly anxious to relinquish their
present powerful strangle-holds.
As Soviet forces guard Wenceslas
Square in Prague, Dick Nixon
presides over an armed forces
prayer breakfast invoking God's
blessing on U.S. efforts to slay
another commie in the cause of
world freedom. Such an inter-
twining kaleidoscope of events
makes it impossible to categor-
ize student reform efforts in
the traditional cause and effect
manner. Hence, solutions are
not so easily effected, especially
in light of Berlin's strategic
importance in the East-West con-
flict.
East Berlin is a prime example
of the asinities inherent in this
East-West battle to the death.
She is not the ludicrous society
pictured by western propagan-
da— people aren't starving on
their doorsteps and neither are
platoons of peasant women con-
ducting army maneuvers through
the streets. Last week, as I
led three U.S. students studying
in Bonn through the eastern sec-
tor, 1 was continually frustrated
by their first efforts to contrast
the cruel, sly easterner with the
brave westerner in his fight for
freedom (perhaps because I re-
member my own vain attempts
to do the same.) Point of con-
sideration: who is maintaining
an armed garrison in the middle
of whose country, and for what
reasons? I'm certainly not con-
doning the East German regime
(it's no bed of roses), but neither
will I support highly question-
able "free" world policies in
the West — six of one, half-dozen
of the other. An interesting
fact is that the economy of East
Berlin will soon outdistance that
of the West — a situation v^ich
hits most capitalists v^ere it
hurts.
Unfortunately, though largely
united on these theoretical
issues, F.U, students are sadly
divided on strategical applica-
tion. Efforts range from con-
versing with the man in the
street to smashing windows and
looting business districts. This
latter faction is a decided minor-
ity, but it sometimes leads to
police action against students
in general, and those students
being clubbed over the head aren't
apt to consider the policeman's
side of the story at that par-
ticular instant. The question,
when does idealism turn to per-
sonal selfishness, is an ever
present one.
Following a recent Vollver-
sammlung in the main auditorium
of the F.U., a group of students
entered the Rektor's office, de-
stroying furnishings and burning
files. After a confrontation widi
police, those not hustled off in
wagons returned to the auditor-
ium, and then, quite sincerely,
pondered the question: "Why
did we do that?" Any thinking,
concerned person will do well
to confront himself with the same
question. There are no black
and ^diites, and neither brute
force nor stacks of welfare and
education legislation produce that
nebulously longed-for social
change. This is an age of revo-
lution and emotion, as Hannah
Arendt adeptly outline s ((* ' On
Revolution"), and he who clings
to former strategies and world
orders is lost.
This report, of necessity, is
horribly sketchy and lacking
much information. For those
who desire background material
on the Berlin scene, beginning
with the Rudi Dutschke era, I
recommend two articles by Keith
Chamberlain, my former adviser
here, found in the November
'67 issue of "Motive," and one
of the January '68 issues of
"Commonweal." "A New Eu-
rope?" edited by Stephen Grau-
bard from die Daedalus Library
provides a general view of the
European situation. Also, these
observations have been just
that — personal impressions. Al-
though living, studying and com-
municating daily with Germans,
I'm still a "foreigner" in the
sense I can never really experi-
ence past events (the war years,
construction of the wall, etc.)
which inject nuances into ±e
present. Even the influences I
can easily perceive— i.e. the hor-
rendous impact of American big
business — are difficult to explain
to one not experiencing them.
As students all over the conti-
nent struggle under the merciless
bureaucracy and inhumanness
that smother them, the U,S. Army
tears up acres of southern Ger-
man countryside in war games
near xhe Czech border, v^ile
Russians prepare similar stra-
tegy, and Franco and deGauUist
troops move to liquidate certain
University elements. Granted
student tactics aren't always in
the best "taste," but could you
sit back and watch?

NORTH
FOR
SPRING
BREAK
The Maryville College Choir's
annual spring tour itinerary has
been established, and plans are
being completed for 43 vocally
talented students to uke a chart-
ered bus trip to some major
cities of the northern United
States and Canada from Friday,
March 14, to Tuesday, March
25.
The Choir, under the direction
of Dr. Harry H. Harter since
1947,. will sing before concert
audiences and church congrega-
tions in Lexington and Lebanon,
Kentucky; Detroit, Michigan and
Chatham, Ontario, Canada; Or-
chard Park and Albion, New York;
Pittsburgh, Houston, and Kittan-
ning, Pennsylvania; Youngstown,
Girard, and Cleveland Heights,
Ohio; and Charleston, West Vir-
ginia.
This will be the Choir's first
appearance in cities in western
New York State. The Choir has
not appeared in Canada since
1954.
A pre-tour Choir Concert will
be given in the Second Presby-
terian Church, Knoxville, Ten-
nessee, on Sunday evening, March
9, at 7:30 p.m.
The Home Concert has been
scheduled in Wilson Chapel on
the Maryville College campus
Sunday evening, March 30, at
8:30 p.m.
A year ago the Choir toured
the major cities through Florida
and Georgia. In 1967 tl>e itinerary
took it through the northeastern
states climaxed by a Carnegie
Hall concert in New York City,
Wherever the Maryville College
Choir goes it has a reputation
for winning the high praise of
critics. Most concerts are in
churches, but a number are in
schools and auditoriums.
The choir has traveled over
40,000 miles in the past 20 years
to appear in well over 100 cities
east of the Mississippi River.
Members of the Choir are
chosen by rigid auditions each
fall as the College year begins,
and in late winter the director
chooses the touring group from
the more than 60 voices in the
full Choir. Choir members use
the College spring vacation
period to make the tour.
Next Year's
CIV Being
Planned
A sub-committee has been
working oa the agenda for next
year's Community Issues and
Values (1969-70). The outline for
the issues of the CIVs has been
set around the topics of the
Sesquicentennial Meetings under
the theme "Man's Search for
Patterns." A steering conunittee
under each issue will coordinate
the CIV planning committees.
Chairman of these steering
committees are as follows: Mr,
Puroff ("Education"), Dr. Wiley
("Urban Living"), Dr. Collins
("World Order"), Dr. Cambell
("Worship"), Dr. Shields ("Man
and His Environment"), Dr. Bloy
("Fine Arts"), Dr. Young ("Pat-
terns of the Future"). If you have
particular interest in one of these
issues please contact the res-
pective chairmen before the end
of February. Any constructive
criticisni of past CIVs (presen-
tation, content, variety, etc.) or
ideas for next years programs
are welcome. Please contact

SEEN . . .
My relatives of course. But
let's be real...
I am being real. We Americans
claim to be Christians out to
help conquer the evils of the
world, like poverty and crime,
while poverty in the U.S. is one
thing that's causing crime. We
say that we have the money, so
why not help the Christians in
America first and then worry
about the others?
I'm a Christian and I see
America as a very rich and
young country. Take note, I
said "young country". In other
words, we didn't get rich over
centuries of hard labor; God
made us rich - free of charge.
For some reason God didn't
create this world equal; He
put more gold, silver, precious
stones, and rich soil in Ameri-
ca than any other place on this
earth. Maybe he's testing man
in a game with Satan-if God
wins then the whole world will
be equally rich, in the end. I
hope you understand what I'm
saying. I bel . . .
But what about America
"now"? We can't wait until all
of the riches are equally dis-

But if Americans do not under-
stand or accept this, then we'll
destroy each other, and Satan

I'm wondering, how did we get
from a small subject like missing

You br(Hight it up, remember; And

Yeah.

Basketball Team
Drops Three
With a record of 8-8 the Scots
went into a three game series,
dropping all of them to their
opponents. On the 3rd Milligan
won, on the 6th Clinch Valley
defeated the Scots in an away
game, and Centre College beat
the Scots here on the 8th. The
three game losing streak set the
Scots back to an 8-11 record,
dampening hopes for an even
record for the season. Only seven
game J remain, and they promise
to be rough.
Clinch Valley came from behind
to win in a close game in Wise,
Virginia, with a score of 87-82.
The Scots were leading by two
at the half, but were unable to
maintain the lead, despite
Padgett's 27 points holding them
together. Again, Mike Barrows
and Warren Morgan followed in
scoring with 19 and 15 points
apiece.
Centre College romped to a 92-
77 victory on the Scot's home
court. The score was tied at the
half with 31 points for each team,
but the Centre team outscored
the Scots 61-46 in the second
half. Padgett repeated his per-
formance of two nights before
with 27 points, Morgan totalled
14, and Dave Maxwell got 10.
The Scot's season is not over
yet, so we can look forward lo
the Scot's redoubled efforts to
maintain and even record and
achieve the minimum goal set for
them at the beginning of the sea-
son. Meanwhile, as the basket-
ball season draws to a close, the
track and baseball teams are
organizing and warming up for
practice which will get into full
swing soon.
Let's see a lot of support for
the Scots as the baskerball season
ends— stay with them 'til the
finish I
Grappjers
Out Classed
Our Scot wrestlers travelled cm
the road this passt \Vi> '''^nd and
met two very experienced teams.
Friday they confronted Auburn
University and Saturday the Uni-
versity of Alabama. Unfor-
tunately we were defeated in both
encounters.
We were handed an agora zing
defeat against Alabama with a
final score of 31-0. However,
against Auburn we were able
to score 3 , points with a win
by Harry Burnette in the 1601j
weight class. This made the final
score 29-3.
Just as in all sports, a team
has its off season, and this year
seems to be Maryville's. How-
ever, we do have four matches
and a tournament remaining, so
hope is not lost. Our grapplers
have not given up, so let's keep
up the spirit and support our

YOUTH FARES
IN TROUBLE,
Washington, DC. - The United States
National Student Association (NSA)
will fight the recommendations of
a Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)
examiner calling for the abolition
of youth fares as "unjustly dis-
criminatory," and has retained
legal counsel to prepare briefs and
oral arguments for presentation
before the CAB. The announcement
of NSA 's action cane from Services
Division director Alan C. Handell,'
who noted that at present the As-
sociation is the only e^o^P repre-
senting student users of the air-
line youth fare which will make
arguments before 1he federal board.
Abolition of youth fares is being
sought by a number of bus com-
panies. NSA will argue that in
view of the educational, social,
economic, and cultural benefits
afforded by the youth fares and
young adult fares, the fares should
not be cancelled.
Written arguments wi].l be pre-
sented to the CAB by February 26.
Oral arguments will be made at a
later date. NSA is being repre-
sented by the ;Vashington law firm
of Koteenaid Burt, who are experts
in air fare matters.
Handell urged that students in-
terested in retaining youth fares
contact him at USN3A, 2115 S.
Street, N.V;., Washington, D. C.
20008.
NSA is a national confederation
of nearly UOO student government
associations. It is the oldest
national grouping of /Imerican stu-
dent governments, founded in l?i-t7.
HIGHLAND ECHO
In line with the communication
emphasis in the college community,
the Echo now has a new format. Our
old ten-day deadline has been cut
in half; this means that we can
now cover current events more thor-
oughly and efficiently — ^but only
with your help.
We need people willing to write
feature articles, which can encom-
pass anything from a report on an
overnight hike to an interview to
poetry. We also need reporters to
cover specific areas of campus
life, such as recitals at the FAC
or activities of the societies.
V.^atever your interests, chances
are someone else on campus would
like to read about them. This is
our onnortunity to make our naper
a vital means of campus communica-
tion. It can succeed only if we
all are willing to contribute a
little bit of time.
If you would like to write or
have information vou want incor-
porated into an article, please

EDITORIAL
LfTTfRS
TO THE
fSITOi
The Highland Echo now enters into a new developmental sta^e with its
new Dhysical format. This is an experiment in which we are givinp up
some of our newspaper look for a bi^per chance to have the true news-
paper quality: current and vital news. As explained in the paper our
deadline is now Monday and the paper will be distributed on the follow-
ing Thursday. It will be up to the community as a whole to see that
t>ieir bit of news and announcements will be printed by contacting a
member of our staff. All news articles and letters to the editor should
be typed and double spaced. No anonymous articles will be considered
for publication.
The entire community is at a critical sta^e in its 150 years of life.
Small colleges are being oushed out by the state universities and there-
fore for one to survive the concept of mass education it has to be top
notch and unique. Maryville has that chance with its new and progres-
sive mode of operation. We are behind in curriculum already, but it is
not too late to get back to a new study and catch up. Maybe that should
be done every ten years or less anj^ay. But as far as government is
concerned we have potential. The All-College Council as we have seen
has not solved all of our problems overnight. It has potential. No-
body wants it to turn into another mockery like the old Executive Coun-
cil was, so bug the chairman and co-chairman and all of the members.
It could be quite easy for the members of the council to meet every
week for an hour and a half and just talk; it has that potential too.
The community has to pressure the members. Remember, they depend upon
you for your vote. Let them know that too.
The people of this community have certain rights coming to them yet.
And the best salesmen for our college are the real people themselves
and no Madison Avenue sales pitch. So if the people here are happy in
their rights they will sell the college. But to have rights one must
be free. T disagree with those that say you must fight for your rights.
That is the wrong approach. I think that you must work constantly for
your freedom. When you are free you have all the rights. So get nissed
off if that is what* it takes but do something and see that the All-
Collepe Council dcesn^t turn into a boring committee and then a forgot-
ten committee. Your degree may depend on it.

Dr. Joseph J. Copeland, Miss Penny
Proffitt, and Members of the All-
College Council:
Since the All-College Council is
barely a month old, I am sure that
the members are still experimenting
with various procedures and prac-
tices. I am also sure that you re-
ceive numerous complaints and sug-
gestions of what you are doing
wrong and how you could correct iU
I would like to offer this sugges-
tion with the hope that it be stud-
ied seriously.
I am concerned about the manner
of selection of the members for
the three coordinating committees
under the Council. At the CIV in
which the Council was discussed
and again Just after the election
in January the members of the col-
lege community were urged to take
an active interest in these com-
mittees. If we wanted to serve on
them we were to contact one of the
co-Chairmen or a class reoresenta-p-
tive and we would be considered.
It appears, however, that it made
little difference whether or not
we expressed an interest, since
names which were seemingly sugges-
ted regardless of any expressed
interest were pulled out of the
air at a meeting of the All-College
Council and appointed to the com-
mittees. If these people accepted,
fine. If not they were replaced
with others from the original ar-
bitrary list.
While I cannot and do not wish
to argue about the appointment of
any person to any committee, I do
want to object to the manner in
which these appointments were made
and to offer an alternate sugges-
tion.
I would like to suggest that in
the future questionnaires be dis-
tributed to the faculty, adminis-
tration, and students immediately
after the election of the new
Council. Those persons who wish
to serve on a committee will take
the trouble to fill them out and
return them. A selection of com-

cont.
mittee members can then be made
from the pronp of returned ques-
tionnaires. This will not preclude
a few arbitrary appointments, but
it will lend truth to your asser-
tion that those interested will be
considered,
A system such as this has several
advantages over the one employed
by this first Council, It assures
that everyone in the college com-
munity who registers an interest
will be heard. It opens the eyes
of the Council members to vital
potential leadership and ideas
which otheftrwise will remain hidden.
It helps prevent the possibility
of the Council becoming involved
in power politics and choosing
committee members from among a
small clique. Most important, it
gives the members of the community
faith in the Council, which is im-
perative if the Council is to suc-
ceed, I do not want the Council
to destroy itself because it does
not expand itself sufficiently,
and I believe this will happen if
it follows practices such as this
in the future,
I strongly believe in the concept
of the All-College Council in the-
ory, I want to believe in it in
actuality.
Sincerely,
Sue Fershee
A VIEW ON DRUGS
Chicago, Tll,-(T.P.)-Society»s re-
action to studfenT drug use is "a
little hysterical," according to
Dr, Richard H, Moy, the Health Ser-
vice Director and Assistant Pro-
fessor of Medicine at the Univer-
sity of Chicago,
"Our reaction to the expanding
use of drugs by students has fallen
into predictable and somewhat ster-
ile patterns! passing laws and
promoting programs of education,"
Elaborating, he said that "while
laws and education with their con-
comitants of intimidation and fear
have a role to play, they are not
sufficient and are likely to miss
the significance of what is really
poing on. While students worry a-
bout the law it is clear that in
the case of marijuana that many
are willing to risk even severe
penalties,
"And in regard to education some
students have long been more so-
phisticated about these drups than
those who now seek to teach them.
It is entirelv possible that by the
time society has passed all its
laws and launched all its programs
of education, students may have
gone on to something else such as
mysticism, not because of what
their elders have said and done a-
bout drugs, but because the stu-
dents themselves have found that
this is not the answer,"
Dr, Moy said that students who
take hallucinogenic drugs often
are in revolt against anonymity of
modem society. Noting the perva-
siveness of scientific technology
in our culture and its contribu-
tion toward depersonalization, he
suggested that student drug-users
often are seeking "the antithesis
of scientism — -affect, feeling,
sensation, subjectivity."
"This is what Leary and Alpert
have sold," he commented, referring
to psycholoe'ists Timothy Leary and
Richard Alpert who were among the
first to advocate general use of
LSD,
The trouble with such drug use.
Dr. Moy continued, is that it causes
such a deluge of sensory input that
the perceptions can be neither a-
dapted nor organized. The person
is left with a distinct feeling
that something important has hap-
pened, but he may be quite unable
to integrate it into anything mean-
ingful,
"Another problem," the physician
said, "is the id monsters that may
creep out,"
On every college campus, Dr, Moy
said, there are those i^o will take
drugs despite possible penalty,
those who wHl not take drugs under
any condition, and a third group
that might be influenced in either
direction.
Students who do take drugs often
argue in favor of legalizing use
of marijuana on the ground that it
is no more of a problem than alco-
hol, Dr, Moy's answer is that,
with approximately 5 > 000, 000 alco-
holics in this country, "another
5,000,000, on marijuana, we don't
need,"
It is his opinion that most stu-
dents who try marijuana do so only
once or twice to "get off the
chicken list,"
The posture of universities and
colleges toward use of drugs, he
continued, usually has fallen into
one of three categories, the first
being the firm stance, with the
college acting as guardian of so-
cial mores,
A second is that a student who
takes drugf; must be mentally ill,
"I believe in treatment by compe-
tent medical personnel," Dr. Moy
said, "but this is not necessarily
in the realm of mental illness,"
The third posture cited was that
of avoidance, in which college of-
ficials hope that students will
not be overt in their behavior,
"This doesn't work out," Dr, Moy
remarked.
Calling is "a question of bal-
ance," he recomniended that univer-
sities and colleges make a point
of keeping abreast of student views
so that "at least we have an idea
where we* re going, so that we may
be able to discuss the underlying
questions with them and not just
the overt manifestations of those
questions."
SIGS WIN
GOLD ME*DAL
(Special— to the Highland Echo) :
The second floor of Memorial Hall
was the scene recently of the an-
nual "Olympic games" which make up
the first part of the Alpha Sigma
initiation. Spirits were high as
the eager pledres gathered to hear
the opening invocation, and the
running in of the torch signified
the opening of the games.
The football game was the first
event, and what an exciting show
it was. Yes, football plap^ed in ^
the halls of Memorial with a med-
icine ball is a sight to behold —
from a distance, that is. The
playing was rough, but it sure sep-
arated the men from the boys, and
proved that Sig is made of men.
The "bat race" was next on the
agenda, and it was quite a race.
Have you ever seen a man dance a-
round a bat ten times with the bat
held with his forehead? ^-'ell, if
you haven't, you haven't lived. A
man could go batty doing things
like that I
Rolling an orange with one's head
can be fun, but nobody (and I mean
no-o-o-body) can roll an orange
like a Sig man can — at least that's
what they tell me. The fun comes,
however, when the orange breaks
and the juice gets in your eyes,,.
Last in the Olympic schedule was
the marathon run to the Medical
Arts building and back. It wasn't
so bad, though, because they all
got a shower when they got back.
The evening's activities ended
with a tour of the girls' dorms,
where the luckv lasses were treated
with songs like they have never
heard before. And as the last
strain — and they were really strain-
ing— of music (or whatever that
racket was supposed to be) faded
into the nipht, the annual Olympic
frames came to an end, to be stored
in our memories as one of the all-
time preat s porting events ever to
take Place in Memorial Hall,

With an 8-11 record for the seas-
on the Scots entered the final
stretch of seven games to finish
the '68 -'69 schedule. In the last
five games the Scots have lost
three and won two, bringing their
record to 10-lli. The Scots, who
were trying to end the season with
an even record will not have that
chance, since only two games re-
main to be played.
Bryan College dumped the Scots
for a loss and left the Scots with
a four-game losing streak to con-
tend with. The score of that game
was 100-75. Undaunted, the Scots
came back to win the next two games
against Emory 5c Henry aid Milligan.
The E & H game was really a thril-
ler. The Scots battled through
a very close game, and at the end
of regulation time the score was
tied at 88. In a fantastic dis-
play of basketball the Scots used
the overtime to outscore E & H 18-
5, winning the game with a score
of 106-93. In that game VJarren
Morgan racked up Ii2 points, while
Bill Padgett followed with 3I4.
That game will not be forgotten for
awhile I
In another close game the Scots
defeated Milligan 73-72. The
score at the half of that game put
the Scots Ahead 38-37, and they
battled well to keep that one point
lead that gave them the game.
Mars Hill managed to outscore the
Scots significantly in the second
half, but were unable to control
the Mars Hill offense during the
final half.
The Scots were handed their big-
gest loss against Asheville-Bilt-

game Warren Morgan aid Mike Barrows

and Ron Jameson will take the stage
at 8:30 p.m. to bring you a selec-

TO SOUL?
' Talk about a CIV that makes you
thinkl You, man, are terrifying,
"The Black Man's Search for Iden-
tity." That's what they called It.
Maybe they were also slapping tb in
the face with— are you ready^—
"The white man's search for the
black man's identity." Why can't
we whities figure cut who the black
man is? Or what he wants? Is it
because somecf us can't figure out
who we are? Because there are so
many different kinds of black? Or
white? Or South? Or North?? We
have to keep our identity. Don't
we?
Why is the whole situation so
touchy? So that I fear being un-
justly labelled for expressing any
opinion in a newspaper? Who makes
it that way? Should it or should
it not be so? Is somebody getting
a bum deal?
Do Blacks have a history devoid
of real heroism? Does (white) Am-
erica really have a glorious, lily-
white, virtuous heritage? "Let Am-
erica be America againl"
Are we to — can we— abandon his-
tory? The few genuine revolutions
have never resulted in freedom and
equality. But what kind of rev-
olution are we hoping for? One in
which ten per cent of. the population
is fighting without the previous
support of the other eighty percent
of the slums— that eighty per cent
which is now unqualified because
it is not black? Or will it be an
over -night revolution of American
attitude? Come nowl
America has worked itself into
a dilemna. Those who want progress
follow the radical leaders, right?
Leaders for change have to be ra-
dical. And change is life. But
then the radicals take on the sta-
tus quo attitudes of superiority.
Maybe they like being on top. So
good. Everybody should be some-
time, but not to the point of in-
toxication. What happens to fra-
ternity? After a while reaction
sets in. Then what? Radicals on
both sides. Nobody giving way any
more. Moderation was too slow once.
Now it is unreachable.
Did you hear Roy Wilkins predict
that ten years from nov7. Blacks
will have numerically fewer profes-
sional members of society— because
the increasing number of black
students today are failing to fol-
low educational paths that lead to
such futures?
We have to wonder about the fu-
ture. Is it supposed to be separ-
ate but equal? Or is it supposed
to be all children of God and of
America? Or is it going to be
every man hating and kicking more
and more? Or merely ignoring?
Where do I fit in? I don't know.
This article isn't coherent. It
isn't what they said in CIV. But
it's relevant. You think about it.
You have something to say. And ya
gotta admit, Phyllis looks good in
a miniskirt.

The college's Administrative
Council cf five faculty, three stu-

as on campuses throughout the coun-
try, from those who wish to con-

their governments.
It also met head on what An-

the evil of mistrust." Dr. Dixon

adopted "should help us here to be
more sensitive to human needs of
people and to allow us to continue
to be a small experiment on behalf
of larger problems" abroad in the
country.
Antioch set a precedent a quar-
ter-century ago when it acted to
elect students to Administrative
Council, which deals with such mat-
ters as tenure and budget.
The council acted after several
heavily attended meetings, during
which some students and teachers,
questioned the councils represen-
tativeness and challenged its
rigbtto make decisions that a sig-
nificant minority might oppose.
Opponents were concerned about
such recent specific issues cs cur-
tailment of the Antioch experimen-

is in the Student Center/'
Maryville College Student Handbook
p. 20.
Funny I They don't mention
Pearsons' steps, or the walks on
campus, or any of the other places
on campus where the cigarette -butt
drifts are really deep. Or, cculd
it be that maybe in these other
places you aren't supposed to
smoke? Nonsense I Students do it
every day in these places. Or
could it be that the people who are
supposed to enforce the rules don't
want the rules enforced? That
seems evident.
In truth, this whole question of
smoking raises two questions. The
first is whether the rule should
exist. Smoking is a personal choice
and can not be legislated out of
existence too readily. Smoking is
also a dirty habit, not only for
the individual who does it, but
also to those who must smell the
air and look at the cigarette butts
lying everywhere.
The second question is more fun-
damental: ^aTio should enforce this,
or any other rule, on this camnus?
The campus community is supposedly
made up of thinkirg, conscientious
members, student and othenase.
Police cannot be everywhere. ^ou
have to have individual conscience
to make any form of povernment
work, and that conscience must ac-
cept some, hopefully most, of the
laws of that society. And since
this is now, theoretically, a par-
tic ipatoi^ democracy, with all
members of the society having
voice in their government, the old
cry, "I didn't make the laws, so I
don't need to obey them" just does-
n't hold smoke.
I guess it

all comes down to
if you don't like
any law, change it I
obey it. And if
there is a lav: on the books, it
should be enforced, for non-enforce-
ment of one law breeds contempt
for all. And if a person cannot
control his passion for cigarettes
long enough to go to classes and
dinner, I'd hate to tempt him with
anything greater.

Tour letter is the first real pos-

of the ACC rather than the "theory."
I think your constructive crit-

m^ eyes were set toward a wide stu-

volvement in the committee struc-
ture as it eventually evolves and
not in the Coordinating Councils.
The structuring of the committees
is the first task of the Coordinat-
ing Coiancils. Then it is our plan
to initiate a campus-wide solicita-
tion along the lines you suggested
(but onl^^ after the three Coordin-
ating Councils and the ACC have
settled on a comjnittee structure).
Fow can we ask for expressions of
interest in particular committees
until we know what com.rrdttees will
exist? Unfortunately, we are tied

No doubt we need to move faster in

Dear Editor:
Maryville College has a tendency
to become isolated from the world
and the bewildering complexity of
its problems. We are rather in-
clined to be caught up in the pur-
suit of intellectual ism for the
sake of intellectual abstraction.
There are occasions, however, when
the world is brought to us and we
must confront its unsettling re-
ality. Dr. Gayraud Wilmore brought
a little of that reality to our
campus and it was perhaps uncom-
fortable for us. He was the first
speaker in a new CTV series en-
titled "The Black Man's Search for
Identity,"
Dr. Wilmore (the Executive Direc-
tor of the Commission on Religion
and Race of the United Presbyterian
Church of the U.S.A.) is an artic-
ulate black man who explained how
people of his race look at people
who are white. He talks with a
sort of deliberate logic about the
nature of a racist white power
structure which has tried to choke
black people throughout the history
of this country to the present
time. He is sympathetic to what
many white people would call mil-
itant black demands but his speech
is not filled with the intolerant
radicalism which sometimes charac-
terizes extremists. He is an ob-
jective man who has recognized the
evils of racism which have perme-
ated much of our society.
Dr. ^;^ilmore talked to our almost
completely white college community
about things we cannot understand.
Undoubtedly there were many of us
who cculd not relate to the fears
of a black people who are convinced
that they have been colonized by
white oppression. Our white com-
munity cculd not really understand
the resentment of a man rejected
by racist attitudes and institu-
tions. It was hard to grasp the
full meaning of this man's deep
commitment to a Christian faith
which is based on love for God and
fellow man instead of middle class
community structures. It was con-
fusing to hear about people who
would rather destroy themselves or
even their nation than be denied
the right to be real human beings.
Dr. VJilinore has gone away now so
that we can resume our intellectual
pursuits. Many of us have forgot-
ten about him or dismissed this
latest intrusion with our inevitable
"I'm tired of hearing about these
same old things." The world which
is black and white and cruel and
oppressive and very far removed
from Christianity came to us and
we cannot understand it. The man
who tried to tell us about that
world might recommend that we at-
tempt to understand it with more
black students, some black faculty,
or even courses about black history.
But it is all rather unsettling
and much easier to go on looking
for intellectual abstractions in
our ivory towers.

De Ulb, 111. -(I. P.) -The Commit-
tee on Teacher Evaluation at North-
ern Illinois Universityrecentiy de-
cided not to use the information
gathered from students who evalu-
ated instructors last spring.
"Irfe feel that the questions were,
in some instances, irrelevant (such
as the one dealing with laboratory
facilities) and that others were
either vague or imprecise," ^ de-
clared Deiphine lander OS, committee
chairman .
At an October meeting cf the com-
mittee, members decided to use a
system of teacher evaluation which
is going into its third year at the
University of Southern California.
The system was launched by Dr.
Craig Walton, assistant professor
of philosophy at NlUaid advisor to
the committee.
"The Southern California system
has more objective questions than
vre used before," Miss Landeros ex-
plained. "There is a chance for
students to give a free response
for an over-all evaluation. /\lso,
students pass out the questionnaires
without p:'ofessors present. We will
adopt questions from the HSC
system and divide our evaluation
into the different colleges in the
university." The end-of-the-semes-
ter evaluation will result in a
pamphlet on instructors this spring.

Nine groups, each containing
twenty to thirty selected American
college students, will form semi-
nars in various European cities
next summer to study the language,
culture and civilization of these
countries during a nine-week stay.
Designed for the serious student
who does not plan to see all of
Europe in a short summer, Class-
rooms Abroad tries to give him a
more profound experience through a
summer cf living in one of the fol-
lowing cities: Berlin or Tubingen
in Germany; Vienna in Austria;
Vichy, Grenoble or Rouen in France;
Neuchatelin Switzerland; Barcelona
in Spain, and Florence, Italy.
Graded classes in small sections
of six to ten students, each under
the supervision of American and
native professors, will deal with
the reading cf classical and modem
texts, the daily press, contempor-
ary problems, conversation and
composition, pronunciation, and
grammar* Students will also hear
lectures on history and literature
and meet with outstanding person-
alities. They will have full
auditing privileges at the univer-
sity in each of the selected towns
and cities and will participate in
all academic and social activities
with German, Austrian, French,
Swiss, Spanish and Italian students.
Members of Classrooms Abroad will
live with private families in each
city, eat many of their meals with
their hosts and share the activi-
ties of their sons and daughters.
They will have ample opportunities
to meet young people from student,
religious, anH political organiza-
tions. Regular attendance at
theaters, concerts, and novies as
well as visits to museums, librar-
ies, factories, 7)uth organizations
and other points of interest are
included in the program. Each
group will follow its seven-week
8tajr in a city or town vdth an op-
tional two -week tour of German,
French, Spanish or Italian areas.
Since most programs end in mid-
August, participants have a chance
to remain in Europe for private
travel after the program.
•^e have fbund through many years
of experience that it is quite pos-
sible, even if you don't know a
word of the language, to learn more
than a year's wotfchcf college Ger-
man, French, Spanish or Italian in
the course of a summer", says Dr.
Hirschbach, Director of Classrooms
Abroad, "provided that we get ser-
ious and mature students who are
willing to mix business with plea-
sure." Dr. Hirschbach, who also
heads the German-language groups,
teaches at the University of Min-
nesota. The French groups will be
directed V Dr. John K. Simon, Pro-
fessor of French and English at the
University of Illinois, and the
Spanish and Italian groups will be
led by Dr. Charles Affrop of New
York University.
Classrooms Abroad, now in its
thirteenth year, has grown from
eleven students in 1956 to an an-
ticipated two hundred in 1969. Its
f if teen-hundred fbrmer students re-
present some two hundred American
collepes.

New York... The "Silent Genera-
tion" has disappeared from the
college campus and Susan Brownmi.!*
ler, Cornell, class of '56, ex-
plains why in March Esquire.
The tag "Silent Generation" was
attached to college students of the
Fifties. There were lots of mag-
azine articles about the void on
college campuses throughout the
country and some thought the si-
lence represented a kind of self-
satisfied maturity. Others won-
dered if it might have been apathy.
"Very few were willing to call it
fear," asserts Esquire.
In the Fall of 1952 a person
thought twice before joining a
protest organization. "University
life was an idyllic existence:
classes, Ibotball, fraternal orders,
knitting aid bridge. It was marred
by too much drinking, too many
pranks and an undue concern for
souped -up sports cars, but nobody
thought that especially troubling.
They called it 'letting off steam*
and 'the college experience,'" re-
calls Miss Brownmiller.
Cornell students of the Fifties,
as well as students throughout the
country, were greatly affected by
the Joe McCarthy episode of their
time. Richard Schechner, editor
of New York University's Drama Re-
view, a former classmate of Miss
Brownmiller' s, recalls being very
conscious of McCarthy. "That's
what I learned at Cornell— you
don't get involved in a political
organization. I didn't want it on
my record. It took me quite a bit
of time to overcome Ihose feelings."
There was no student voice in
the Fifties, but it was equally
true that the faculty voice was
barely above a whisper. There was
little interaction between faculty
and students. "Only two professors
at Cornell in those days took open
political stands outside their
classrooms. Politically we were
immobilized, we were unhappy chil-
dren of the Fifties. Intellectu-
ally, we were stultified. The lit-
erary scene at Cornell during the
Eisenhower years was as timid, per-
haps non-existent is the better
word, as the political scene.
'Egghead' was the common synonym
for intellectual. The popular
catchphrase was 'Don't malce a val-
ue judgement.' It was not a time
when poets aid writers could thrive
on a college campus," says Miss
Brovmmiller.

Vietnam has affected the Amer-
ican college campus the way the
1929 Depression affected the na-
tion. Students and faculty mem-
bers who had always been comfort-
able within "The System" saw for
the first time the "cold mashed
potatoes" they were being offered
as answers and they began to seek
their om solutions, states Esquire.
Like morality, "brotherhood" was
a bird of a different feather in
the Fifties. Cornell's fraternal
orders, rigidly separated along
religious linss flatly barred Ne-
groes fromnembership. "There were
never more than four or five Ne-
groes on the Cornell campus at any
time during the Fifties," reflects
Miss Brownmiller. However, the
roughly 160 black students on cam-
pus in the Spring of 1968 bear
witness to the change brought a-
bout by time.
The freedom and courage to take
a couple of years out of ond's life
and strike out in new directions
is a Sixties' phenomenon. Young
people today seem to have no fear
of getting or losing jobs, a par-
ticular Fifties worry.
College students today are wor-
ried about what will happen to
them as "movement people" when
they leave the college campus and
begin to face the real tests of
life. Miss Brownmiller does not
claim to know the answer, but after
her recent observations of the
Cornell campus she does believe
that "as individuals in Society
they will outstrip us alio"

MoR£ Soul
It is with more hesitation than
willful desire that T am writing
you this letter, Mr. Editor. In
iTr7 attempt here to inform you and
your gentle readers on "What's
Happening With Soul" I hope I am
able to inspire more "concerned"
persons to help the Black man find
his true identity in light of our
American experiences.
The author of the article that
appeared in last week's Echo deal-
ing with "What's Happening To Soul?"
showed signs of interest in this
American dilernna; but I'm not sure
that he helped me as a Black man
in my search for the answer to the
question, "Who am I?" Of course I
realize that it is easy for a white
man to be confused and frustrated
in his attenqDt to understand a
Black man's esq^ression of resent-
ment toward racist institutions
and attitudes that tend to perpet-
uate the black-white polarized na-
ture of the world. Like these
sayings were written: "If the
truth hurts, it ought to"; and "If
one is not part of the solution,
one is part of the problem."
As a Black man in search of my
identity I feel it is neither my
task to mitigate whites, nor to
provide the experiences necessary
for whites to know where they s tand
on black-white issues, because
there are too many severe situa-
tions that confront my people —
black people — with which I have to
become contemporary. To delay the
demands for justice for all Black
in America while I help "Mr. Char-
lie" get his back yard in order
first, is for me an absurdity and
a misdemeanor. My first allegiance
is toward the* greater dignity of
Black people in America. I have
neither hostility nor affection
for a man of another race; but I
am going to do my own thing first.
Reactions or so-called backlashes
that may occur as a result of my
actions are welcomed as long as
these grievances are not aired in
my back yard. (I choose to discuss
things such as justice and equity
with you, Mr, Editor, in black-j
white terms because when one con-
fronts the realities of American
society — "that's where it's at" —
in black and white only I)
Allow me to suggest that those
who are truly concerned and inter-
ested in the cruel nature of our
society begin to understand this
problem with more black students,
A black faculty member, and A
course which is relevant to the
Black man's problem in America. I
only suggest these options, Mr.
Editor, because there are too few
Blacks here at M.C. for us to make
a valid demand for this approach
to America's dilemma.
Oh yesi Mr. Editor, I agree with
Doug Barber that Phyllis does look
good in a miniskirt— SO WHATJ!

kREA ART
On display in the colonnade of
Wilson Chapel at Maryville College
is a senior art exhibit featuring
work by Karen Schwartzwalter, sen-
ior, from New Providence, N.J.,
and Ann Reynolds, senior, from
Clearwater, Fla.
The exhibit is set up to show
the development of children's abil-
ities in art from pre-school age
through high school. Croups of
students from various schools in
the area are used as examples.
Misses Schwartzwalter and Reynolds
are both senior art majors, spe-
cializing in art education, and
plan to teach art upon graduation
from Maryville College.
UCH ACTS
UCM will conduct a workshop on
the Kerner Commission Report and
institutional racism on Saturday,
March 29th. The morning session
from 10 a.m.— 12 p.m. will open
with panel presentations on insti-
tutional racism and the Kerner
Commission Report, followed by
several films. The aftemoor ses-
sion from 2 p.m.— Ii p.m. will con-
sist of workshops on specific is-
sues, such as urban education (led
by Mr. Puroff), housing, legal aid
services, organizing poor whites,
history of the civil rights move-
ment.
Students and faculty are encour-
aged to purchase copies of the
Kerner Commission Report on sale
for ^1.25 in the bookstore and read
part or all of it over spring va-
cation.
The Highland Echo staff will hold
its election earlier this year so
that the person elected as next
year's editor can work on this
year's Echo for the remainder of
the year as an assistant editor.
During this period the editor-elect
will work with the entire staff so
that he or she will have full
knowledge of the newspaper's oper-
ation.
Any upperclassman interested in
running for election should con-
tact the editor both in writing
and in person so that a trial paper
can be scheduled.
v5uMM.ei^r/e£t'^ Tttvours
One of America's most successful
''in" dramas by one of America's
most successful' young playwrights
(22 years old) will be presented
in the spring by the Maryville
College Theatre. Ron Cowen's
"Summertree" is that play to be
presented May 2 and 3.
The action centers actually and
symbolically around a great tree
in a typical middle-class American
family's backyard, in which an un-
named young man swings backward
and forward in reveries of his
childhood, young manhood, and death
in battle in a war which he feels
he has no concern.
Tryouts for this play are on
March 25th at 700 p.m. in the
college theatre. There are three
men and two women in the cast. All
interested persons are encouraged
to trv out.

EDITORIAL
When I \os a freshman here it was
illegal to smoke in student rooms.
If the unfortunate student who did
smoke in his room was caupht he
had a letter of information sent
to his parents and if the infrac-
tion was repeated a number of times
the student was suspended from
school. Well that bit of puritan-
ical harassment is a thing of the
past but there are still some
things lingering on and I think
that we students of the college
along with the administration and
faculty had better do something
about it. If we are to be an en-
lightened community that our All-
College Council indicates that we
could have we are going to have to
ask for the trust and integrity
that is due to each member of the
community. Let me tell you of one
insult that someone in this college
is giving the student body.
It seems that this past Christmas
vacation two men in the student
body came back early by two days.
The college dorms were still closed
so they had to find a place to live
until they opened. Where else
should they go but to a motel. And
that is where these two men went.
They went to the Holiday Tnn across
from the airport and asked for a
room. The desk clerk at the motel
asked where they were from and
they responded that they were Mary-
ville College students, thinking
that information ^ould do them no
harm. Alas, they were refused a
room at the inn. The desk clerk
explained that "the college" had
requested that the Holiday Inn not
rent a room to any Maryville College
student.
Wanting to verify this story for
myself I asked for a room at that
same motel and was also turned
down, I even have a credit card
for Holiday Inns. Whatsa matter
"college" aint my credit card good
enough? And what business is it
of yours anyway I?
We cannot allow ourselves to
talk of mutual trust and community
if this attitude persists any long-
er. So T suggest that we do some-
thing about it as soon as possible.
The first thing that comes to mind
is to use our All-College Council.
If I am not mistaken this problem
would fall under the Social, Cul-
tural, and Recreational coordinat-
ing council, the co-chairmen are
Mrs. Larpen and Barbara Grins tead.
I think that we all should request
that this situation be looked into
and the breach of trust be remedied.
This should be done now.
I do hope that we all can take
care of this problem soon, but I
suppose that it won't be done as
soon as spring vacation. Oh well,
I'm going to Chicago for the vaca-
tion and I may want to stay in a
Holiday Inn. ..but now I won't car-
ry the name of Maryville College
with me, pity isn't it but there
is no telling how many motels "the
college" has requested that we
students not be treated as respon-
sible,

University, Ala. -(I.P.) -Address-
ing an American Studies class on
the campus of the University of
Alabama, via telephonic communica-
tion recently, William Sloan Coffin,
Tale University Chaplain, outlined
progress of the trial in which he
and Dr. Spock are involved with
three other men.
He said the case will probably
go to the U. S. Supreme Court in
the fall of 1969. He told the
class he doesn't expect to win.
The controversial theologian be-
lieves part of the American prob-
lem in Vietnam and worldwide is a
pre-occupation with communism and
that "we are scared to death by
it" instead of being "scared to
life by it."
On the topic of Black Power, he
said we shouldn't take a counter-
revolutionary stance toward the
rhetoric of men like Cleaver and
others .
Questioned about his not being
allowed to speak at the University,
Coffin said students here should
realize that Dr. Rose (University
President Frank A. Rope) is work-
ing under difficultijes such as
pressure from the legislature and
public opinion. However, he went
on to say the students should apply
a little counter-pressure. "He's
got a tough job," Coffin said of
Dr. Rose, "and he needs help froir
you people."

ummer «^ Smoke
Tennessee Williams' play Summer
and Smoke is as delicate and evan-
escent as its name implies • Its
art depends not on a stiff dramatic
spine of action but on the evoca-
tion of a mood as subtle as the
blend of scents that pervades Glo-
rious Hill with the rising of the
^If wind. If that atmosphere is
not realized, the play— since there
is little else to sustain it— must
fall as flat as a poetry reading
at the Winemiller rectory. That
those involved in this production
strained to achieve the essential
mood was evident in the repeated
use of music. It hardly seems
necessary to state, however, that
if what happens on staee does not
make the play take wing, neither
will an offstage record player. A
Spanish atmosphere is not created
by twenty bars of someone's scratchy
record of Bolero.
Much of the mood depends upon the
audience's sensitive response to
the play's symbolism, particularly
to the stone angel in the center
of the stage (the doppelp^anger of
Glorious Hill itself?} Its sig- "
nificance is as unspecified as
smoke, but that it is significant
cannot be denied. The power of
its brooding presence was virtually
annihilated by the omission of the
play's opening scene, a meeting be-
tween John and Alma, the protagon-
ists, as children who exchange
views on life and death at its
base, under the image of Eternity,
as the legend on the statue de-
fines itself. Why not also omit
John's statements about the anatomj^
chart on his office wall and render
irrelevant both of the play's pri-
mary symbols? Incidentally, the
anatomy chart seemed curiously uii-
physical. This is a play about
the conflict and coming together
of body and soul; the poster repre-
sents the body in all its complex
corporeality, not a neat and tidy
euphemism for the human figure.
But to talk about the play, it
is necessary to confront its char-
acters. Alma and John, the frus-
trated, soulful spinster and the
freeliving, lecherous doctor who
ultimately outgrow their stereo-
types. They must come alive, and
the subtleties of their ever-
changing relationship must touch
the audience; or the play becomes
merely a matter of waiting to see
whether or not he "makes it" with
her. Sadly, it was on this level
of interpretation that Saturday's
audience viewed the play. It is
crucial to the play's credibility
that John, portrayed by Fred Callies'
not appear a simple "waster" if he
is to become a man of service at
the end. As Tennessee Williams'
stage directions indicate, en John's
first appearance, desr^ite his dis-
sipation he "has the fresh and
shininf^ look of an epic hero." In
the present production, however,
he resembled, in an ill-fitting
white suit, not so much an epic
hero as the ice cream man for whom
the mad Hrs. Winemiller whines.
The actor must strive to appear
not merely sensual or merely cyn-
ical; his own doppelganger (the
being inside each of us that wants
release) must at times show through.
Nowhere is this complexity more
essential than in his relations
with Alma. She is the soul and as
such both attracts and repels him,
for he is as conscious of her in-
sidious power as she is of his more
obvious potency. Unfortunately in
their early scenes, he pave the
impression of no deeper response
than boredom. That what is hap-
penincr between them is a much more
involving experience ^s underscored
bv the svmbolic use of fireworks,
images of sexual excitement each
feels in the other's presence,
climaxing in his invitation that
she go for a drive.
John cares for Alma with the deep
ambivalence we feel for that which
might enslave us; for him, she is
never a silly piece of female
flesh. If he is allowed to appear
to regard her in this way, the
audience will take it as their cue
to regard her similarly. And the
deep tragedy of the play becomes
farce. An actress in Alma's role
has quite a job to begin with; she
cannot succeed without the dramatic
support of John's apparent appre-
ciation. Without it, the actress
is as alone and frustrated on stage
as Alma was in the arid atmosphere
of Glcricus '^ill. There is nothing
more difficult than presenting a
character whose keynote is affec-
tation without giving the appear-
ance of affectation in the presen-
tation itself. Geraldine Page can
do it; Sandy ^!ennis tries; at times,
Kat>ileen Smith carried it off mag-
nificently, yet her characteriza-
tion would have touched us more if
she had ex])ressed a greater vari-
ety of em.otions. Her sustained
Page 3 March 13, 1969
hvsteria occasionally became as
monotonous as his callous apathy.
The attitude I'^illiams hopes to
conjure from the aAidience with re-
gard to Alma is one of compassion
tinged with distaste. The reaction
he least wants is; amused superior-
ity. As the Drogram notes indicate,
the play shows that "Nothing is
much more humbling and in this in-
stance terrifying than a clairvoy-
ant glimpse into the heart of a-
nother person." It is nice that
the audience could carry home the
"moral" written down for them since
they seemed unable to see it for
themselves in the play. No one in
Saturday night's audience was hum-
bled or terrified; they were too
busy laughing at the play and at
each other's" laughter. They had
as much fun finding sexual innu-
endos in every line as a group of
traveling salesmen stopped to sam-
ple the wares of Glorious Hill. We
humans are, by and large, a tawdry
bunch— we strive mightily to sub-
merge the doppelganger that would
render us defenseless against the
magic of poetry or passion, as the
play informed those who listened
between the laughs.
Several minor roles were handled
superbly. Robert Hutchens as John ' s
father was particularly fine; as
in Marat/Sade he proved himself
capable of creating real dramatic
presence. It is no coirxidence
that the scenes between him and
Alma vjere those where our affection
for her was most fully realized.
He created the warmth in which her
characterization could blossom.
Equal in excellence but opposite
in function was Julie Laubach's
depiction of Mrs. Bassett, the
small town gossip whose pseudo-
piety and sublimated sexuality
mingled in every line. Praise must
also go to Ann White whose charac-
terization of Nellie Ewell, a young
girl coming of age, was full of the
ebullient simplicity of the favored
creature who never has to contend
with a doppelganger. In her natu-
ral transformation from girl to
womian, she was a foil to Alma's
agonizing metamorphosis. Of Wini-
fred Welling 's presentation of
Rosa, there is no criticism, but
was it necessary to create for her
a costume and make up job that was
downright hideous? Rosa represents
the pleasures of the flesh; are we
too puritanical to let those pleas-
ures appear attractive? Mth re-
gard to Carol Fisher's depiction
of Alma's demented mother, it is
difficult to criticize anything
that makes interesting a static
dramatic situation, but one cannot
Con+a. -p. 4 - Col.l
Page h March 13, 1969
conceive of Tennessee Williams ever
finding madness a source of humor.
Alma is terrified by the image in
her mother of what she might be-
come. When she cries in uncon-
scious mimickry "the pieces don»t
fit," a chill should settle on our
hearts — if we are among those who
participate in drama with our
hearts .
Still, the production had its
moments. Miss Smith »s character-
ization of Alma, particularly in
the deeply soulful reading of
»'Love»s Secret," will not be easily
forgotten. The entire scene of
the intellectual gathering at the
rectory had the pace of real dra-
matic interplay, and many minor
roles, such as that of Phil Der-
Pilbosian, approached fall dramatic
realization. The play, like those
of Chekov, is difficult, demanding,
and lacking in the sensationalism
and humor that make for easy suc-
cess. Everyone involved except the
audience deserves some degree of
congratulation. ^^^^ 7>J^ttc

Alumni Gym was the setting for
the 1969 Womens' All-Star Game held
March 5 and 6. For the first time
in the history of the All-Star
Game, there were three teams, Theta
Epsilon and Chi Beta welcomed the
Independents, and the Independents
walked off with the title.
The first night brought together
Theta Epsilon and the Independents.
The Independents won 29-22 in a
well fought battle. High scorers
were Penny Blackwood for the Inde-
pendents with 10 and Carol Martin
with 8.' For Theta it was Sue
Schwaiger with 10 points.
The second night the Independents,
still hot from their victory the
night before, came back to beat
Chi Beta 28-26. Alice VJeber led a
third quarter charge that proved
fatal to Chi Beta, last year's
champions. High scorers for this
game were Weber with 10 and Carol
Martin with 7 for the Independents
and for Chi Beta were Beth Kell
with 10 and Ellen Mehafiy with 6.
Rounding out regular season play
the Independents won eight games,
followed by Chi Beta II with 6,
Chi Beta I with five. Town i4,
Theta II 2, and Theta I 0. It was
a good season. We all had fun and

Bethlehem, ?a.-(r.?.)-A revnlu-
t.ionan^ new educational policy has
been adopted at Lehiph Hniversity
which rives the faculty greater
flexibility than ever before in
maintaining a curriculum that is
relevant to a rapicly changing so-
ciety.
In announcing the innovative ed-
ucational move, which is effective
with the beginning of the current
Spring Semester, Dr, Glenn J.
Christensen, provost and vice pres-
ident, called it one of the most
exciting advances in his long ex-
perience at the University.
The faculty of any instructional
department at Lehigh now has the
blanket authority to incorporate
new courses into the curriculum in
as little as a few months* time in
response to student or faculty in-
terest in areas of vital concern
in today's world.
Dr. Christensen said that he
knows of no other educational in-
stitution where a similar policy
enables such quick response to re-
ouests for "social ccncern" courses.
He added, "Whereas inclusion of
a new course in the curriculum
normally requires almost a year,
the Lehigh faculty can now present
a course while it is still relevant
to contemporary society."
Such courses, to be known as high
immediate relevance (HIR) courses,
may be offered at all undergraduate
levels and in all instructional
departments of the University. HIR
courses will be those having im-
mediate, though perhaps temporary,
relevance to society, as opposed
to Lehigh's permanent courses,
which have been maintained to in-
clude relevance.
In order that HIR courses will
be available to a maximum number
of students, prerequisites will be
cut to a minimum, as will admin-
istrative constraints. Taken by
students on a pass-fail basis, the
courses, after having been offered
for two consecutive semesters, may
be made a permanent part of the
University curriculum if deemed to
be of more enduring relevance.
The first HIR coursa offered dur-
ing the current spring semester is
Introduction to Urban Systems.
Offered on an experimental basis
during the fall semester, it is
now a regular course building a
unified interdisciplinary^ perspec-
tive for urban studies, through
consideration of economic, social,
political, and physical structure
of cities.
Taught by an interdisciplinary
team of instructors, the urban
study courses are further distin-
quished by the fact that they em-

The nets are hanging still dhce
'again, and the scoreboard is dark
for another year* The cheers of
victory and the pangs of defeat
are lost to posterity, but the mem-
ories of this year's basketball
season will stay with us for a
*hile.
The season began with three
straight wins, but hopes were
crushed with three straight losses.
The season was sporadic, with a
win or two here, and a loss or more
there. We had our close games— we
beat Millipan by one point, and
lost to Kentucky Southern by one
point. We had our exciting games—
we beat Emory and Henry in overtime
106-93, and we had our heartbreak-
ing games— we lost to Asheville-
Biltraore 109-69. The season ended
with a 10-16 record, a disappoint-
ment, since the team hoped for a
50/50 finish.
Two seniors ended their careers
in collegiate basketball this year:
Bill Padgett and Dave Maxwell.
Padgett brought his total points
to over the 2,000 mark by scoring
578 points. He led the scoring.
Maxwell was fifth in scoring, and
both men had very good percentages
from the free-throw line.
Together five men— Padgett, Bar-
rows, Morgan, Mize, and Maxwell —
netted over 77^ of the score, but
without the rest of the team behind
them it is meaningless. Each man
added to the team and worked well
to provide the group effort we saw
on the court all season.
Two men who we look forward to
seeing on the team next year— Mike
Barrows, a sophomore, and Warren
Morgan, a freshman— played a great
season, racking up over 1/3 of the
total points. Barrows was second
in scoring, hitting almost 50^ of
the time in field goals. Morgan
was tops on rebounds with 270, and
Barrows was second with l50. Don
Hickman was close behind the top
five in scoring and was third in
rebounds for the season with 113.
He provided a strong support for
the team, playing in all 26 games •
The J.V. team played five pames
and won all but one of them. They
defeated Johison Bible andKnoxville
College once, and Emory and Henry
twice, and were defeated by Tee
College. The J.V, games gave the
back-up team a chance to improve
and keep in readiness in case they
were needed in Varsity play. With
a h-1 record the J.V, team shows
promise for future Varsity games.

Wr esi I i 03 Wra? - LA*
The wrestling team just could not
come out on top this year. The
final record was one win and thir-
teen defeats — outscored 1435-128.
The score stands as a mute testi-
mony for this year's wrestling
season.
Individual records stand out
this year. Ray Nye, who left the
team before the end of the season,
had the best record with 6 pins.
Captain Harry Burnett had a re-
spectable record of 3 pins and h
wins with points. Other members.
such as Bob Evaul, Bob Mitchell,
and Ed Hawkey did well individual-
ly, helping the team as best they
could.
The Scots . had a rough season—
they were up against some of the
strongest wrestling schools in the
South. It Is evident that the
competition was too strong. We can
only look back at the individual
triumphs and hope that next year
these individual talents can be
strengthened to make the team into
a winning one.

^^ TlLOT SCHOOL
Uniformed sources in high circles
last week indicated that Maryville
College would be named first choice
for the organization's revised
planning, soon to get underway,
Merton S. Fleggle, SLKRE adminis-
trator and spokesman, in an unof-
ficial statement hinted that a full
report would be forthcoming.
As yet, no confirmation or re-
futation of the rumor has been is-
sued from Pr. Copeland's office,
although little opposition to the
proposal is expected from that cor-
r".OT»
The basic changes which the pro-
gram, if adopted, vjould involve,
affect both the social-political
and the academic life of the col-
lege. As Associate Aveley Zugneist
said, "We think our implimentation
of the empirically-derived formu-
lations of this theory augment the
inter-related operational mechan-
izations formerly regarded as sub-
stantially intuitive and self-re-
flective, as shown." Wiei) asked
how specific areas of concern and
interest are expected to be af-
fected, Zugneist said that he felt
they would, "beyond a shadov; of a
doubt,"
Granting that this is yet a rumor,
nevertheless the ou^iitanding impli-
cations are such that no satisfac-
tory reappraisal may be usefully
continued mtil certain other facets
become known, which seems likely.
Indeed, the entire staff stands
ready with full use of such com-
puterized aid other electronic aids
as maybe employed without the loss
of any aspect of the program, no
matter what the reaction might be,
as many feel is inevitable.
The experimental nature over-
shadowing the program becomes clear
9(v^&V ar^i^A^i cr ;.^lou"s ifXcHevemeM A.l0AJiiiO5
as already thirteen fa-dlies have
sou,Rhfc relocation. Many ethers arc
turning in vain to the larger uni-
versities for precedents, but
student leaders and discontent?^
there expressed verbal lack of
faith and large groups locally
joined in unan^Tuous cynicism. Cne
starlent leader from Mar;inri3.lG v/as
asked whyaich attitudes prevailed,
and answered something hardly in-
tellible about not needing a weather
map to Icnou which way the viind was
blowing,
SLKRE Administrators announced
that they would welcome opinions
sent in a self-addressed stamped
envelop about their proposed pro-
gram, but regretfully admitted that
personal replies to any of these
letters would be impossible. ECHO
staff members have been appointed
to handle this, however, and would
welcome any comments Fent c/o "^'he

EDITORIAL
This is our first annual dubious
achievers issue. I hope that it
will become one more of the many
beloved Maryville College tradi-
tions (tongue in cheek... very deep-
ly). It is not a bad idea to laugh
at ourselves once in a while and
really all of the awards that have
been given are in a good vSpirit of
fun. None of the awards have been
given with any malicious intent.
I (\o think that there are some
things going on here that are too
important to laugh at right now.
Maybe someday. The most important
of these things is the great need
of dialogue on campus. I have
mentioned that before. If there is
no dialogue there is no community.
I hope that some day there will be
a time when people on this campus
will speak face to face with others
that don't necessarily share the
same viewpoint. How many times
must certain individuals on this
campus crucify dialogue and there-
fore crucify cur community. Let us
not hear this conversation again:
"Boy, somebody really thinks that
your ideas are b3d and you donH
know^at you are talking about I"
'"//ho was it?"
"Oh, they don't want their name to
be known."
Too many times W3 have heard that
simple ritual.
So laugh on the whole world's
just a banana and it's sticking in
all of our ears.

(This appeared in an Orlando,

A few months ago Harry Haylock,
ii601 Eighth St. N., whose great-
great -grandmother was a Mayan In-
dian, had an inspiration - i^iy not
give the country back to the In-
dians?
Now some people, when he mentioned
it to them, said this would be a
pretty dirty trick ';o play on the
unsuspecting redmen.
But Haylock aid his wife Jeanette
gave the idea some serious thought
and figured it was the least they
could do to make up for this na-
tion's treatment of the original
tensLnts. They said:
"We have made a will for the pur-
pose of returning our real proper-
ty...to be sold, with the proceeds
to help finance the building of a
Coh4. p. q , Col. I

library (for the Seminoles.),,
The Haylocks, who have a dandy
bumper sticker that reads, "Will
America Back To The Indians," hope
the idea will catch on nationwide.
If enough people began leaving
everything to the nearest Indians,
in another few generations the no-
ble redmanvDuld have America back.
A good bit the worse for wear, of
course.
But the uneasy thought arises -
what if they treated us the way
we've treated them?
This is why some critics of the
plan say it would be better if the
Haylocks just gave the Indians back
the $2l4 we paid for Manhattan to
start with.
Actually, Harry Haylock hopes to
recapture the American dream, as
cited recently by some unknovm
philosopher M.th the East St. Louis
Kiwanis Club:
"Once upon a time all Americans
were happy enjoying life and making
an easy living with plenty of time
for sports, cbincing aid big dinners.
Then the white man landed."
The Times reported yesterday that
in Los Angeles, the US^OOO-member
American Indian community is organ-
izing an all-tribes American In-
dian Association. It will empha-
size self-help.
If the association is smart, the
first thing it will do is to fig-
ure out some legal dodge whereby
the white man cannot stick them
with the country. A si'^^-ple little
clause could do it:
"No damaged goods accepted."
NEW "RADICAL
PLAN 'REM EALED
Greg Gottstein of Northeastern
Illinois State College has the ul-
timate plan for c oiler e radicals.
Here it ia:
"Our radical groups have done
most of the ordinary things like
messing up the pre^^ioent's office,
chaining themselves to the infor-
mation booth, livening up ordinar-
ily dull classes and the like," he
says .
"However., .they have not hit
either the students or faculty
where it really hurts. I believe
my plan will strike at the very
hearts of the entire college com-
m.unity.
"This is my plan. If you stop to
figure it out, there can't be vr.ore
than 80-90 toilets in the entire
buildinK. ^^o\i, if a dedicated
group cf men and women were to make
sure those toilets were in constant
^ m '
vwzu3be its BAD BREATH?'
use for an entire day, you can im-
agine the reaction a[' both students
and faculty'."
"Remember my radical friends
there are toilets in both the A and
B wings, in front of the cafeteria,
in the administration building, in
the gyin, and here and there in the
basement o"
"The only real problems that I
could think of are all relatively
minor.
"First, this kind of sit-in could
be rather boring, but then again,
they tell me it's a great : lace to
study.
"Secondly, tie men at the urinal.-^
whom I prefer to call the Ilumber
one Team, would be on their feet
all day. Perhaps this could be
solved thru the use of shifts.
"Finally, don't expect too much
television coverage."

The Hope Fct International Under-
standing Committee has always been
interested in communication. About
seven weeks ago we decided to in-
itiate a project which would allow
campus dialogue to c-^mo t--^ the sur-
face, .e asked contributions
cf thouf^hts, poetry and art. The
results of our request were out-
standing in quantity and content,
j^ .-xT^qer--' +" . '^^'— littee very much
to find that the communication ex-
pressed was more than campus com-
ment. The thoughts shared were
universal'. Given the opportunity^
Maryville College students, faculty
and alumni showed us that dialofrue
between people was not as dea d as
some of us had been led to believe.
To further this demonstration of
a desire fbr the^arinr of thourdits
and ideas, The Hope For Internation-
al Understanding Committee has pub-
lished a collection of Ihe poetry
which xvas submitted and is making
it available to the entire college
community.
In the next few days, a repre-
sentative will be around to your
rooms to speak with you about Hope
For International Understanding;
its wish for dialogue on a world
level, the goals it wants to
achieve on campus, and our needs
for realizing these possible dreams.
We hope you will share X7ith us in
our search for world understanding
in the form of a contribution for
our oollection, your collection, of
thoughts.

Lynn Andrea Gillespie, daughter
of Mr. & Mrs, Frederick S. Gilles-
pie, 63b Belgrove Drive, Kearny,
New Jersey, has been selected by
The Experiment in International
Living to live abroad with a family
in France this s^jmmer. She is cur-
rently a sophomore at Maryville.
The Experiment has been engaged
in international educational Ex-
change since its founder. Dr. Don-
ald B. Watt, first introduced a
group of American youths to their
French aid German-speaking counter-
parts in Switzerland in 1932.
It is now the most well-esta-
blished prcgram of its type in the
world with representatives in more
than bO countries involved in the
annual exchange of some S.OOOyDung
men and women between the United
States and lOU nations arc/and the
glebe. The private, nonprofit or-
ganization nain tains its U.S. head-
quarters in Putney, Vt. The Ex-
periment's southern regional office
is located in Chattanooga, Ten-
nessee.
Before Lynn arrives in her home-
stay community abroad, she will
join ten other members of her Ex-
periment group for intensive pre-
paration for the adventure ahead.
The group, with the assistance of
an experienced leader, w.11 discuss
the customs and culture of France
and prepare to meet its people on
their own terms.
For one month Lynn aid her fellow
Experimenters will live with indi-
vidual families in France. This
firsthand opportunity to develop
friendships, to learn the customs
and traditions, and to participate
in the activities of the host
country from the vantage point of
a family environment, is the heart
of the Experiment program.
During her last three weeks in
France Lynn and her group will in-
vite members of tiieir host families
to join them for an extensive tra-
vel period throughout France. See-
ing the host nation through the
eyes of its nationals is a special
feature of Experiment programs.

Archaeologists in the south-
eastern area of the United Empire
have recently released information
concerning their investigation of
what was once a college which was
destroyed approximately one thous-
and years ago, apparently by the
V/rath of God. Scientists claim
this discovery may shed further
light on the cataclysms which
rocked the area in the mid -Twen-
tieth Gentury. Authorities theor-
ize that god, always a fickle fel-
low, destroyed this institution as
it was celebrating its 1:?0 years
of service to him. God caused a
fit of madness to tale the residents
of the college while they were in
the midst of their devotions,
VJorkers on the site claim to have
found such academic trivia as a log
cabin aid an academic mace amid the
ruins, both apparently used in the
worship of god. It is also rumored
that large numbers of skeletons
have been found piled in front of
a number of doorways on campus.
These doors were evidently closed
at the time of the disaster and
these people died in an attempt to
pass through. One building, ten-
tatively identified as Anderson
Hall and chief temple on campus,
had half of each pair of double
doors locked. It is possible how-
ever that these doors had solidified
and become, in effect, v^alls after
years of disuse. Critics of those
who blame god for this phenonenv^n
point out that an other ^t of doors
leading to what served as a cafe-
teria, seem to have been unlocked
at the time of the disaster and
here as in Anderson Hall a large
number of bodies were found, raDst
\>rith abnormally large grease de-
posits on their bones. V/ortaaen at
the site have been heard to repeat
the meaningless phrase "Is it a.
boy or is it a girl?" but no ex-
planation has as yet been offered
although outside sources point out
that this v;as a popular ofttcbphrase
of the era. As furtherproof of the
Mass-Madness Theory, the archaelo-
gists point to a large but unfin-
ished building on campus and evi-
dences that a large number ^ of
dormitory rooms were unoccupied.
.'i'urthermore the discovery of se-
veral oddly-preserved issues <£ the
college newspaper showai abundance
of pointless nateriai. Resurrecting
another phrase of the era, a re-
liable source has qiipped that
there was enough good material to
make one worthwhile album. That
source has offered no further com-
ment. Several titles on plaques
have been found but none yield use-
ful material as yet. One of these
reads "Dean of ..." but there is
little evidence that any Dean ever
did anything to deserve his name
on a plaque, although this too may
have been little more than formal
ritual. Another plaque shows more
promise. It reads "Committee on
Traditions" and fraf'^mentary evi-
dence seems to show that this com-
mittee was in charge of creating
as well as preserving tracitions.
Scientists are now busy trying to
determine what sort of animal a
tradition was and how it x^as re-
lated to the college, A few more
radical scientists have postulated
that the tradition was an animal
sacred to god and that god in one
of his insane frenzies destroyed
the college charged with preserving
that creature. They go on to say
that this attack my well have been
what started the War with God
wherein the huge military machine
of the Tv7entieth Century overthrew
god and all his cohorts. There
seems to be no proof for the per-
sistent lumor that the ghost of the
Director of Development has been
seen walking the grounds mumbling
"Students? Were there students
here?"

The Africa that was Johnny VJeiss-
muelleraid Safari documentaries on
Sunday afternoons has changed, is
changing, and will be changing
more dynamically than anything
since the industrial revolution.
The worlds of both Blacks and
v/hites, not to mention the great
majority of other peoples, have
been drifting here and there on
pious IVhite axioms. V.Tiat the world
is seeing today, in movements
like Black Power, is the realiza-
tion of so many, who, as Pascal
put it, "follow in their fathers'
footsteps, solely because they have
all been brought up to believe
that this is ta? best course.
We are on the verge of a revolu-
tion, in every sense of the word;
but it will be from the streets of
South Africa, not Detroit, that the
first shots to be heard » round the
world will ring.
As torchbearers in a primarily
synecdochetic uprising. South
African Blacks will be the cata-
lysts for what historians may well
term the Third World //ar.
As sympathy from the psudo-hip
among whitescB.es with the realiza-
tion oC the reality of the violence
involved in their mock-politics, a
confusion ab ovo usque gri mala will
exist to tHe possible extreme of a
nonmedicable shock as a result of
an extensive security resulting
from the work of a lon^^ palimpest
news medium.
Subliminal synchronism of the
Blacks and sincere Whites all over
the world is inevitable, in light
of the standardized white social
pressure upon every living indivi-
dual on Earth.
The question yet to be answered
is this; will the Black revolution
be, as all previous revolutions in
history, a war followed by minor
social changes resulting in a
society with as many flaws as the
last with only the placement of
these flaws differentiating old from
new? Willai African Empire ensue,
embodying all the prejudices of the
old l^Hiite aristocracy, with the
exception of the victims of the
prejudices?
When one has lived for quite a
long time, and there is further dif-
ficulty of the greater and lesser
optimism (without being able to
form an estimate from v?hich to
judge the future), anyone who fol-
lows from this status and differs
from the knowledge and capacity
forces control on human needs.
The two trends function as wealth
to make a communal distribution,
indeed: their annihilation.

Things are going along ratrier
quietly at MC, No riots, no occu-
pying of Anderson Hall — nothing but
the ACC talking quietly about all
our problems. Then Dr. Stanton
Leggett, a noted educational con-
sultant, gave voice to an idea which
may force us to change our whole
way of thinking and to get in the
protest mood I "Show me a quiet,
orderly school... and I'll show you
an academic flop. You can usually
spot the good schools by their well-
organized disorganization." His
assumption is reinforced by Bob Nes-
bit, vice-pres. of Youth Dynamics,
who claims that "Ten years ago pro-
spective students would have avoided
campuses where there were demonstra-
tions and disorder. Today, those
are the places where they want to
be."
As we all knovj, something is keep-
ing students from flocldng to MC in
droves. Maybe we should look a-
round. Could our lack of signs,
protest buttons, sit-ins, and or-
ganizations known only hj their in-
itial letters be relegating us to
the collegiate "has-been" heafi? May-
be an acronymic organization would
put us in the limelight again. Last
week I heard about S.W.I.N.E. (Stu-
dents V/ildly Indignant About Nearly
Everything). Maybe we could get up
a local chapter. However, if we
want something unique to old Mary-
ville, why not S.W.E.A.T. (Students
Willing and Eager to Attack Trouble-
Spots)? As a beginning it might
have as its goal getting a new (or
different) social center on campus.
If you think about it, there are a
few things we could protest quietly
about, giving us an aura of well-
organized disorganization!
S.W.E.A.T., anyone?

During the next three days an in-
tensive talent hunt will be under-
way on the M.C. campus, having as
its objective the organization of a
group of ten students to participate
in a program called "Instant An-
swers," planned later in the spring
for local TV production. Similar
in design to the Sunday afternoon
"College Bowl" program, "Instant
Answers" will require rapid recall
and a wide range of knowledge.
Mrs. Robert D. Proffitt will coach
the team and Mr. Arthur Dees will
co-ordinate program planning and
scheduling. Students who are inter-
ested in participating should con-
tact Mrs. Proffitt either in her
office on the second floor of the
Chapel or by leaving a message in
Box 2896, First broadcast is sched-
uled for May 6.

the groups regular director Dr.
Robert Bays, head of the School of
Music, was formed in I9I4O by Dr.
Irving Wolfe. The madrigalians

performance of Renaissance vocal
music, choral music of contemporary
composers, and the folk music of
the United States, particularly
the music of ihe Southern Highlands*
The group has toured extensively in
<^apan, HongSDng, Tfeiiwan, and Korea,
under the sponsorship cf the United

CRIES
hup!'
A Tibetan Refugee School in the
Himalayas is crying out for help,
and the cry is directed to Mary-
ville College "through the committee
of "Hope For Intemational Under-
standing." This refugee school was
first organized as the exiles from
Communist China began to congre-
gate jn the north Indian hill coun-
try. Tibetans are a peaceful and
quiet people, but they are proud,
and they wanted their children to
be educated so that some day this
new generation could return to rule
their homeland. Many people were
inroediately sympathetic with the
Tibetan cause and through contri-
butians the school was started.
But after the initial inspiration,
much of the critical support was
withdrawn, and as prices rose, thd
financial backing sank. No longer
are the administrators of that
school able to afford as much as
an egg or a piece of fruit even
once a month for the destitute or-
phans.
Last year our donation of $700
was able to provide resources for
a '"free university" associated with
UT. You may have passed over these
signs as mere foolishness 5 or, you
may have wished you could go but
you were without time or transpor-
tation; or, like a small group of
MC students, you may have gone a-
head sjid tried a couple of the
courses, just to see what was hap-
pening. If you happen to be in the
first category, you're missing out
on one of the best things around.
The Free U. has a lot to offer—
courses in everything from science
fiction to women's liberation,
from the Beatles to racism in Amer-
ica. Classes are completely open,
without cost, without credit and
non-compulsory. Dialogue is the
primau:^ goal of the Free U.—
dialogue between black and white,
man and woman, you and me.
Now, if you don't have transpor-
tation to Knoxville, then there's
hope. Steve Horton has room for a
limited number of people, going to
classes on Wednesdfipr and Thursday
nights and Saturday mornings. 0-
thers are of course encouraged to
take their own cars if possible to
accommodate more students. For
more information on when ani where
classes meet, contact Ron Jameson
or Steve Horton.
The Free University is dedicated
to all Students of Life, regardless
of age, color, sex, creed or nation-
al origin— try it. It's a gas.

EDITORIAL
It appears that this country is
preparing for war. If there is a
war it will be one that nobody can
win. I must agree with Senator
Goretiiat it looks like our present
administration is going to build a
massive missile system and then it
is looking somewhere to use it.
The proposed ABM missile system is
an overt arms escalation. Our
enemies, rcaX and not so real, have
enough nuclear weaponry to return
the entire world into ashes. The
threat is real, all too reat . Re-
member what some of us saw in the
movie "The War Games" that was
shown in a CIV last year . V:e all
saw the horror and misery of the
actors in the movie. If you can use
your imagination, it may not take
too much, in the place of those
actors put your friends aid family.
The thought makes me tremble. All
of our human pride is notwrth the
cost of one single human life. Is
it not clear thatwe and our bro-
thers around the world cannot afford
another "World War"? Then why do
we allow ourselves to build and
ready more nuclear weapons. I
cannot call an Anti-ballistic Mis-
sile system a defense system. It
is an offensive system to counter
another offensive system yielding
the compbunded misery and death of
men and children.
"9 ■■ ■ ■ '
It is time that we talked with
our world opponents. It is time
that we saw that our country's
leaders used all of their energies
to enact world dialogue. Could we
trust our enemies at the diplomats
table if they brought a club with
them first? Are we to watch the
sacrifice of Socrates happen again
and then prepare for the sacrifice
of the world's population. For
what?
We must see that our elected
leaders act accordingly to the ba-
sic foundations of our great coun-
try. We must also insure that they
are well informed. Secretary of
Defense Laird did not even know if
the missiles could be disarmed once
they were fired. He "thought" that
they could. He was later corrected
by "Qie pentagon. They cai not I
^urinp Senatorial questioning of
Mr. Laird the most able Senator
Gore asked him Wiere and what but-
ton fired our arsenal. Senator
Fullbright in disgust quiped that
it was the panic button. That com-
ment may stand as a testamonial of
our present world situation.
In the name of humanity we must
see that it can Dive in peace. For
Christ's sake please stop it. Love
and Christ have not died. Just look
In your heart. "Blessed are the
peaceable fortiey shall find peace."

Dear Editor:
I, at least, am happy to accept
my award even though it may appear
strange to some that persuading
people to apply at Yale should be
considered a dubious achievement.
I sincerely hope that such endeavors
and recognitions will continue on
the Maryville campus. Not only is
it good for us to have our balloons
gently pricked from time to tim^
but such journalism is bound to at-
tract readers. After all. Esquire
Magazine has been doing this well
for years. The common format of
the Echo and Esqidre must be due
to cc incidence, do you not think?
It is unfortunate that some of
the awards which were well-written
and humorous (and therefore help-
ful) were overshadowed by others
which can be seen only as a flight
into juvenile petulance and mali-
ciousness. I submit that a respon-
sible newspaper has no business to
make sly innuendoes about the pri-
vate lives of its readers and con-
tributors, nor does it have the
license to hold its constituents up
to personal ridicule, if it wishes
to hold their loyalty.
It is ironic that the editorial
in the same issue of the Echo spoke
out for open and responsible di-
alogue in our community Wiich bad-
ly needs the same. At the same
time, the ps^er printed an un-
signed editorial comment upon mem-
bers of the community. It is tra-

itywis negated by a document which
was in obvious places designed to
wound.
Of cburse It is true beyond doubt
that a comnunityihich cannot laugh
at itself Is aalck community. How-
ever, laughter ihich is designed to
wield power over others aid to hurt
has no place in a true community.
We need open laughter, the source
of which is known, and which is
designed to hekl, not to rend.
It may be of academic interest
at least to the anonymous contri-
butors of the wards that professoR^
students, student officers, editors

When there is a good Joke on most
of us, we laugh. When someone
takes a razor to us, the humor
seems to escape us. As a result,
the divisions in our community are
widened,
I nominate the contributors of
the awards for the Senator Joseph
McCarthy Fair Play award.
There may still be those who af-
ter reading my plea will doubt noy
sincerity when I say that I found
the reference to my pride in Har-
vard truly humorous and that I am
not writing out of personal petu-
lance. Taking my clue from the

Dear Editor:
I have said to iryself many times
when I have picked up the Highland
Echo that I mustwite a letter and
defend some principals and ideas
that have been brutally attacked by
this "Yellow" paper. I now read
that I have been awarded the Kill-
A-Commie-For-Christ Award for
Christian Brotherhood, Well, isn't
that nice I This is apparently
based on my support of the Viet
Nam War. Since I do not claim to
be able to express ray ideas very
well on paper, I would like to
quote a man who can express them in
a much better form.
On January 21, 1961, President
John F, Kennedy said: "Let every
nation know, ihether it wishes us
well or ill, that we shall pay any
price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, iupportaiy friend, oppose
any foe to assure the survival and
the success of liberty. This much
we pledge— and more,"
"Ln order to make good on this
pledge, the United States Govem-
me^ltt has oarticipated in the con-
flict in Viet Nam. It also found
it necessary to enter into conflict
in Laos. About this conflict in
Laos President Kennecfy said in a
news conference held in Vfashington
D.C. on March 23, 1961: "I want
to make it clear to the American
people and to all of the world that
all we want in Laos is peace and
not war, a truly neutral Government
and not a cold war pawn, a settle-
ment concluded at the conference
table aid not on the battlefield., ,
But I know thate/ery Ameridan will
want his country to honor its ob-
ligations to the point thatfl?eedom
and security of the Free world
ourselves may be achieved."
And this is the situation that
the American people now face in
Viet Nam. I too want peace, and I
would rather see it come at the con-
ference table. But if we cannot
negotiate an honorable peace, I
would support ending the war with
force— the same force that achieved
peace en that fateful day of August
6, 19W,
And finally, Iw)uld like to know
if the Highland Echo is going to
present Dwight D.' Eisenhower, Win-
ston Churchill, General de Gaulle,
and the millions of men who fought
in and supported the Second World
War with -file Kill-A-Nazi-For-Christ
Award .
If today 'speacenicks of Berkeley
and Columbia had enjoyed significant
influence a quarter of a century
aFO,w)uld Americans now be shouting
"Heil Hitler"?
Cordially,
Bob Eickelberg
Dear Editor,
Each year Popular Photography mag-
azine publishes an annual of photo-
graphs that have been chosen as
some of the best of the year. Also
each year a group at cur college put
together a collection of photo-
graphs which in the past has been a
beautiful illustration of just the
opposite extreme. I'd like to ex-
amine why our yearbooks have had so
much trouble f o] lowing Popular Pho-
tography' s lead.
Look at a person with a great vo-
cabulary. If this person proceeded
CIV
ACC
to write a novel and this novel
turned out to be bad, would it be
any surprise, seeing that this per-
son had little knowledge of how to
group words into sentences, could
not express hiw thoughts clearly,
or worst of all, never really cared
much about writing novels and had
no idea what a novel was?
What it amounts to is this: If
books are written by people who
know words and how to use them, why
shouldn't photographic annuals be
produced by a person who knovjs pho-
tography like the inside of his
darkroom? And then there is the
matter of many wasted dollars to be
explained. Above the cost of pub-
lishing a yearbook, anywhere from
fifteen hundred to two thousand
dollars and more is spent each year
to have pictures taken by "profes-
sionals," including the two bucks a
head each person must pay if he
wants the privilege of having his
picture considered for publication.
The way to plug this bottomless pit
is simple: By investing two to
three thousand dollars in cameras
and darkroom equipment the cost of
taking every picture in the year-
book would be no more than two hun-
dred dollars at the most. This in-
vestment would pay for itself in
two years and would show profit s
thereafter. Photography isn't dif-
ficult or expensive, the pros just
like you to think it is.
Things are complicated, however,
by a few useless traditions, one
being the practice of selecting the
yearbook editor from the upcoming
junior class. To require the editor
to be a junior makes little sense,
but to choose the best qualified in-
dividual with the fair and square
democratic process is a farce be-
yond belief. Editing is Photography,
Period. To look through piles of
pictures, to delegate 3 pages to
football and 1 to tennis, and never
dirty one's hands with developer
and hypo is as far from creativity
as one can get. Let's scrap this

A picture is worth ten thousand
words; anything more is redundant
and anything less shouldn^t be in a
yearbook in the first place. A year-
book staff should be one thing:
photographers (and those who wish
to learn the art of photography).
Organization men should be out
forming a local chapter of Rho Rho
Rho or campaigning for fewer beans
in the chili, not playing with a

The yearbook, as it is run now,
generates so little interest that
few people ever want to work on it
for more than one year. This strange
lack of enthusiasm is really hard
to understand. The excitement de-
rived from looking through stacks
of pictures and selecting a few can
only be compared to a fun-filled
afternoon of watching the grass
grow.
Things don*t have to be this way
next year I This matter need not be
studied for months or years to de-
termine a need, either. The re-
search has been going on for years
and the sad conclusion has been
conscientiously published in the
form of annuals (making no reference
to any yearbook yet unpublished).
If the All-College Council were to
act now the small group of photog-
raphers and interested individuals
(a handful is ail that really puts
together a yearbook now) could
break ground immediately and start
preparing for next year. Is it
worth the trouble to start a system
that would be creative and self-
perpetuating to replace one that
has shown itself to be wasteful and
artless in the past?
It has been said that the yearbook
is the junior class's present to
the senior class; if so, let's stop
this long list of booby prizes.

Review
Maryville College had its first
concert by the newly formed Stage
Band, under the direction of Mr.
Stallings, and, on the who2ie> it
was a good, hardhitting sound which
gave the audience an enjoyable even-
ing. For a first concert, it was
surprisingly good. Along with the
band played the Warren Gaughan
Trio, composed of Warren (piano),
Ron "Beef" Black (drums), and Dan
Rhone (Bass). To say the least,
it was very good.
The band had many things going
for it. The selection of music was
mostly of the "jazz-rock" style,
mainly by Neal Hefti. It has a
smooth, hard-hitting jazz style with
a rock and ja^z beat, and it's the
kind of music which would (aid did)
appeal to today's audience. The
tempos and interpretation which go
with the music were well done, and
the musicians knew their charts
well. The band had very good im-
provisation on the whole, although
there wasn't too much of it. Mack
Bettis did a real fine job on the
trombone in two songs, and Jim Bux-
ton, in the small parts he had by
himself, did a real good job. War-
ren Gaughan had some also, but we'll
consider him later.
The band's biggest problem was
that they couldn't stay together.
This was partially due to the fact
that the band played in sections
rather than as a whole, but this
will come with time. The biggest
reason for the untogethemess was
the band's stage arrangement. I
realize that the fact that the trio
had to play by itself in part dic-
tated the arrangement, but, it
would have been an easy matter to
arrange them all to one side, since
the entire trio is classed as "per-
cussion" and would be together na-
turally. As it was, the saxes
Page 5
couldn't hear the brass, the bass
trombone, bari sax, and string bass,
which should be grouped together
since Ihey carry the bass, were in-
stead spread all over the stage.
The staging created other problems,
too. The trumpets couldn't be heard
because the louder, most often too
loud, "trombones were stuck right in
front of them, thus blocking out
the trumpets to a degree. The sax
section was not distinct enough,
and I could never pick out the ten-
ors because they were stuck behind
the altos and bari^ though ^en I
really heard the saxes, they
sounded pretty good I If a non-
professional musician can give ad-
vice to this stage band on staging,
I would say put them in three rows,
saxes, trombones, tmmpets, percus-
sion to the side, bari sax, bass
trombone and bass fiddle near each
other, and see what happens.
The strongest sections were troi»-
bone and percussion. The former
was too loud for the band, and,
ideally, this means the band should
play louder. In this case, though,
I don't think the band can play
much louder yet, so the trombones
better cool it. No one can criti-
cize the percussion section, and
this brings us to the trio.
It was great I Warren Gaughan
stole the show with his improvisa-
tions, with Ron Black a very close
second. This is not to sli^t the
bassist either. Although Dan
Rhone didn't improvise, he laid
down a good, solid bass line, at
times lost in the other two lines,
but there all the time. Warren did
a masterful job on all the song^
so you can't pick out one and say
that was his best. I think "Take
Five" was probably the best of the
lot, for not only did Warren shine,
but Ron put in the best of his
solos, and the bass was in there
all the way. Warren isn't a Bassie
in style (no white band or man
could be), but he has a definite
style, and it's good. I don't
know enough drummers to put down
what Ron's style was, but I liked
it.
All in all, I would say that if
you missed this concert, that's
your tough luckl It was good to
say the least, excellent for a
first time. I hope the outfit gets
all the support it needs, especial*-
ly financial, since it could use
many more charts, mutes for the
horns, aid a vibraphone, which adds
much to any band but especially a
jazz band. My hat is off to the
band, the trio, the members therin,
and Mr. Stallings, it was a good
job. Do it a gain I

members, and encourage loyalty to
the Alma Mater.
There are Sinfonia Chapters all
over the country, including Carson

The library profession often has
been misunderstood to be an ivory
tower bat has changed its image al-
most as drastically as the world
has changed. Libraries include not
just books, but recordings, tapes,
films, maps, pamphlets, newspapers,
journals and magazines. The pro-
fession offers jobs as administra-
tors, catalogers, public service
agents, reference and research per-
sonnel, subject specialists, and
many others. Librarians may choose
school, public, college, univer-
sity, cr special— commercebusiness,
law, medicine, or government li-
braries.
Recent figures state 10,000 to
20,000 trained librarians are
needed now, and the shortage will
increase. An estimated twelve
positions are available for every
graduate.
The basic requirement is a bach-
elor's degree and one year in an
accredited library school leading
to a master's degree. A broad,
general background is valuable,
and many positions also specify a
subject specialist. A doctor's de-
gree is especially helpful in the
area of college and university
teaching or as director of librar-
ies.
The pay scale is not lucrative;
however, salaries compare favorably
with those in allied professions,
such as teaching and social service.

Few people real Ize the far-reach-
ing consequences of pulling out of
Viet Nam. Fewer, it seems, under-
stand which is the threat of stay-
ing in. Many who look at the prob-
lem of war look at it with the
eyes of ready-made morality, be
they hawks or doves. But let's
put aside for an important minute
our own human fears, wants, and
even morils, in the interest of
humanity •
People fear death, so we fear
killing, so, socially, we make a
moral standard "killing is wrong."
But, I suggest, areryone still dies,
so let's concern ourselves not
with how people die but with how
they live, which is not very well
in war. The charges to "stop kill-
ing" and "killing is wrong" are
eommon expressions of love, but
also of understandable human fear
of death and as such have little to
do lith Ihe real case for leaving
Viet Nam.
I suggest the real case for leav-
ing is that in Viet Nam the "free"
world may be cutting off its nose
to spite its fac^j. Our biggest
theoretical difference with Com-
munism is its militarism and its
stereotyping of men into khaki
green statues. The longer we are
at war, the closer we come to this
same militarism.
Military government is much more
inviting than it first sounds. It
would seem to make men equal, feed
the poor, make the Black man equal.
These were the claims of the Bol-
sheviks; these are the claims of
the Beaurocrat in today's ray of
the labor-military block. But this

How would military govemment
work in modem international war?
Probably like a football team with
no back and no line. Each team
gets in a truck and two opposing
teams cram each other head on, and
the one in the biggest truck wins
,.«if anyone lives to keep score.
We should not underestimate the
ills of leaving Viet Nam, or the
Responsibilities involved with
such a move. A free people would
be given arer to military takeover.
Moving out would give a shot in
the arm to Peking, which has often
shown intentions of spreading its
own militarism to other parts of
the world, a government founded on
rebellion and patriotic anonymity.
All Asia would for many years be
in danger of military takeover.

problems in this country and the
free world •
Most of all. DuUine out of the
Nam would have to mean change.
Jobs would have to change, training
would have to change, attitudes
would have to change. To ^11 out
of Namwlthout making changes would
be not only dangerous for the
world, but useless, as we would
soon be in war again, this time a
defeat able country.
So here is the roottley crew of
pacifists, many looking for argu-
ments «d "facts" withihich to wrap
their wants and fears, many with
honest gripes, such as low economic
groups, men of draft age, all rais-
ing their disunited voices for
change. Change that strikes fear
into the heart of every honest man.
Maybe the country would not take
the cdiange. Maybe man must kiH
or be killed. But who will ever
know unless someone makes a real
try.
More than likely, a military
stereotyping government in I98I4,
or on the other hand a falling
apart of the country would be only
one more wave in ihe ocean of his-
tory. Yet if we now could bypass
such a step, mankind might be one
small step closer to a day which
has no need to hurt or control his
interdependent neighbor. Is life
. a team sport or must men contend
with each other as well as nature?

Dear Editor:
Each year Popular Photo ^aphy
puts out a pholo graphic joiimal;
however, comparing a magazine to a
college annual is somewhat ridicu-
lous. Mr, Mara writes that a year-
book should be nothing but photo-
graphs. He is partially correct.
However, he fails to mention any
form of organization for these pic-
tures. Without necessary copy and
layout, sheer chaos results. Here
is where you must decide whether
you want a book with a message, or
pictures of the year in review.
Each two page spread in "this year's
Chilhowean took at least one and a
half hours to draw. Multiply this
times Ihh pages and quite a few
hours add up. Even the most ex-
cellent jho to graph, unless properly
placed on the page can become med-
iocre.
Secondly, I took scads of pic-
tures—not because I had nothing
better to do on Sunday afternoons—
but because only when a staff has
piles of pictures from which to
choose are they able to select a
photograph that catches the es-
sence of an event. We did spend
over $1500.00 on photography, in
fact we spent exactly $l660.7h, of
which $1062.00 went for class pic-
tures, and you paid that (in case
you have not, please do so by May
1st). Only $598. 7ii was spent on
film, photographic supplies, and
developing done by Mr. Spears. We
took almost a thousand pictures,
and used about half. At the going
professional rate of three dollars
a pic, this is roughly three thou-
sand dollars. I can hardly believe
that we were wasteful.
As for Mr. Mara's mentioning an
investment In photographic equip-
ment, 1 have these two qiestions.
Where will the money come to buy
this equipment? The Chilhowean pre-
sently runs on an almost deficit
budget because we put out a book
for $5.00 that costs SJ.liO. There
is little money left in our Treas-
ury to purchase cameras. As for
getting the money from .'Inderson,
face it, the Develdpment Office
has the most abominable camera on
campus when it comes to taking
really good pictures. Then if we
do get the cameras, etc., who is

(Editor's Note: The following ar-
ticle was written for CPS by &
second lieutenant in the U.S. Amy,
who served in an American base and
is now on his way to Vietnam.
Names have been changed for obvious
reasons . )
To me, a bona fide member of the
officer oorps, it appear that there
is a new type of individual within
the array. He is most often associ-
ated with the enlisted ranks, but
he also exists in the lower ranks
of the army's "elite."
There remain the elements cf brut-
ish unreasoning young officers,
drunk with power, raised in an at-
mosphere of war and glory -hunger.
Tet there is a new element? m
group of draftees and enlistees
who have become off icers for various
reasons and are in the army to do
their service efficiently, with a
minimum of arbitrary "order giving"
and, most important, with a con-
science.
During my tour of duty en a south-
em military post, surrounded by
Wallace-ites both on-post and in
the surrounding countryside, taun-
ted by militarista of all ranks, I
had the pleasure of associating
with a great many of this younger
generation of officers.
Many were sickened ly the Vietnam
war. Some actively supported both
McCarthy and various underground
groups in their home towne and on
a nearby campus. Smoking marijuana
was normal, despite the awful mili-
tary punishments incurred by of-
ficers for drug use.
Why are the individuals serving
what "they seem to abhor, especially
as members of the "oppressive
class" of the railitaryf No single
answer is sufficient. There are
questions of conscience, whisps of
duty, fears of prison, hopes of
changing a system rather than des-
troy ing it ; a melange of individual
motives, as many as can be found
among equivalent members of the en-
listed ranks.
What matters is that these young
officers have brought with them
into the service a new individual-
ity, a questioning rather than a
blind answering - in short, a con-
science.
A few examples might best illus-
trate some of these people, '^here
was Lt. Jackson, who was given a
letter of reprimand for running a
McCarthy campaign in his office
and utilizing mimeograph machines
to print up posters.
At a drug abuse lecture the com-
manding officer passed around two
joints to show the soldiers what
to stay away from. He got back
three.
Lt. Eastman was called into his
company commander's office for some
business. The commander, another
lieutenant, aWt^ why his hair was
so long. He replied, "Because I
like it that way." The commander
flushed.
"Well, get it cut."
"Is that an order?"
'Tes."
"Why?" asked Eastman.
"Because I want it to bo," the
commander stated.
"Why?" He never got it cut.
Another officer flew a Viet Cong
flag over his house in a Southern
town for two weeks before anyone
alriced him about it. It was the
next door neighbor. "I thought it

pojnp to do the wrk? Are you po-
inr to be willing to vcrk around
the yearbook's deadlines? Can you
take a week out from your classes
in October to do the Classes pic-
tures? Mr. Mara, I asked you to be
on the '69 Chilhowean ^ s photo-
graphic staff in September, and
you declined because you had too
many other things to do.
'Thirdly, a cast of thousands can
not put a yearbook together. There
should be no more than 20 on the
staff, and 10 should be on the

is impossible in a large group.

as band or choir.
In our first article, we would
like to suggest that the campus is
missing a lot of talent by not at-
tending the recitals that happen
about this season every year.
Jionior and senior recitals usually
draw a token audience made up of
music majors, marked by the whit©
slips of paper they clutch in their
hands through each recital, . to
turn in for attendance requirements,
plus family and roommate. Each
joerfcrmer must present the recital
he is presenting as part of his
training as a performer. That he
has such a mea^^er audience dis-
appoints him, and seems like a
waste of talent.
Student recitals involve probably
as T.anj' non-music majors as regu-
lars. They present a variety of
ensemble work in addition to the
usual pianists and singers. Hap-
rjening E hour on designated Wed-
nesdays, 1hey also need an audience
to give the performers the experi-
ence of molding somethinr besides
empty seats.
A come-on to get an audience?
Yes, but please be taken in. The
Fijie Arts Center is part of the
campus and available for more than
just art and music majors. VJhy not
take advantage of it?

Miss Ethel Ann Scruggs, sopho-
more art major from West Memphis,
Ark», has recently been accepted
by the Junior Year Abroad program
to study overseas next year.
Ethel Ann's choice of study is
the Free University of Brussels in
Belgium,
The Free University, so called
because of its belief in libre ex-
amencf philosophical and religious
questions, serves 9,000 students.
Courses are taught predominantly
in French, with an increasing num-
ber of courses being taught in
Dutch •
Ethel Ann chose the Free Univeiv
sity of Brussels becaiuse of its
location in the "center of the
European art belt" and for its re-
putation for student involvement
in world affairs. She feels that
"it is important to be concerned
and to broaden your education to
include Heasaid problems of other
cultures, other peoples."
Language is Ethel Ann's biggest
immediate challenge, as she con-
templates all those interesting
courses taught in French. She also
recognizes that as a JTA she will
be expected to "have an awareness

There is a contradiction in our
community. How can people who pro-

fragmenting academic -social commu-
nity and make but only vain attempts
to understand or to reconcile their
differences?
They can because too many of the
decisions made by the administra-
tion and the faculty are based not
on far-sighted, rational policy,
but on a social attitude based on
emotion and a fear of change guar-
anteed by accepting the reality of
free and inquiring students asking
sensitive and demanding questions
about their institution.
I begin to see through the con-
fusion of semantics, the ener^r of
emotion and the aspirations of
spiritual \inity an unwillingness to
commit ourselves not to the often
meaningless expression of love for
all men, but to the harsher and
demanding reality of love of one:
a concrete, established relation-
ship between two people.
V7e fear this relationship because
as a community we do not have the
integrity of character to commit
ourselves to its demands. It is
easy to care for the Blacks, the
Vietnamese, the poor, but it does-
n't get any of us emotionally in-

I am talking about Love. We are

BOOK I (fregment)
Oh sing, Ghost of the past, the song of a dream.
Of the men and the minds of the past give me power to praise
And exalt to their well-earnid thrones, these leaders of ment
For who can deny that those founders deserve all Just praise.
Or that Anderson, Lamar, and Robinson bullded a dream?
Then guide thou my tongue as I sing, greet Ghost of the past.
As I sing of the hard times and poor, that have clouded the way
(Have clouded the dream and the hopes and the alms of these men ^
Of the smallness and feuds of some now, who would see Karyvllle Grow!
Know, I speak of a dream th-^t Is lost, maybe def^d, this dream
Of the Christian Ideals, and of love, and of truth, for all men.
When Strife entered onto our Hill, speaking her lies—
This overpowering Strife, creator of Ill-deeds 'twlxt men--
Where then were the good men and brave, who would combat thl^ foe?
Like a mighty old oak which when hacked on will sway "fore It falls
So our college appears to be swaying— a sign of Its fall?
Dissension there Is, and 111 feeling 'twlxt mentor and ^taff;
And with students hard feelings towards all who would pilot their ^ly©^;
They have lived, and have loved ere they entered our broad gate^ ^I,^!^^^'
Now they feel that they know, for themselves, how to govern their lives
And with callous Impatience reject they the way*:: of the past.
Whowlll I sing of, to whom will I tender my praise?
Where are the heroes, the men of who would people my song?
Is there no mighty warrior to bolster this swaying old oak?
Who will step forth and reverse the fell tide of events?
A few still remain who have not vet lost sight of the way.
And in these special persons resides ^11 the hope of our dream.
The greatest of leaders, the silver-haired searcher for truth,
Callld Joseph J. Copeland— a man unafraid of the foe—
In him will we place all our hope for success of our dream.
And in fierce-eyed Dean Daniels, another whose course never sways,
A man who is free from all tempt in^rs of different Ideas.
Another there is, one who fights for the gro^/rth of our school.
The Ivy-League Fleming (alas, he is leaving us soon),
Reconstructor he is of the build Ini^s and ways of the past.
One too there is. Miss Walker of history clasc; fame,
She has striven in committees for further tradition and lore.
These then are the ones whom we turn to in thl«? hour of need.
The few who are able and willing to fight for a cause.
And ones to whom victory means not compromise or defeat.
So grant me now, Muse of the pa^^t, words and voice for my song.
As I sing to the world of the worth and the fame of these few.
(This is all that remains of the song. The original poet died in
a fit of coughing after singing the last several lines.)

TO THE
IDnOR
To: Brian Childs
From: E. Fay Campbell
Please give me the privilege of
a statement on the recent events
here. When I was told that there
was to be an editorial on Dr. Spi-
vey * s hopes for the small Christian
college, T offered to say some-
thing about it.
My first comment is to endorse
Dr. Spivey's position. We have
some hard years ahead of us in
these colleges of which Maryville
is a good example. But public-sup-
ported education is riding into
very rough waters, too. The vast
expenditures in equipment, build-
ings, all kinds of "things" is not
goinp to be handled easily. How
is the state university to become
a vital, free, prophetic center in
a state that seems now to be drift-
ing toward standing still and de-
fending itself in its fortress?
We will have and we must have pub-
lic supported education in this
large nation. But the private col-
lege is absolutely essential if
education is to be genuine. It is
not at all certain that the Pres-
ident of the United States will
not become the puppet voice of the
armed forces before many years.
We seem to be moving in that di-
rection. I submit that the Christ-
ian Church and the vital academic
comnunity are the only institutions
in our culture that can keep us
from a totalitarian state.
This brief statement of convic-
tion leads me to some brief obser-
vations.
1) The college here at Karyville
can become a community of learners,
old and young. Our All-College
Council is one of the biggest steps
in that direction that could have
been taken. T urge the faculty and
students to select the strongest
possible people to membership in
the Council. It must not fail.
It will take some time for things
to happen. But we need to move
ahead even if we make mistakes.
Mistakes made in the right di-
rection will help.
2) A community like this of
young and old — some eager to learn
and some eager just to be in col-
lege, some teachers just scholars
and other persons who love to
share learning with others — will
always be in trouble. That is all
right. The time should come soon,
in my judgment, when the only rule
in our handbook will be that we
expect the members of this com-
munity to be ladies and gentlemen.
We will need a Judiciary system to
deal with those who do not want to
act like cooperative members of a
society. "The punishment should
fit the crime." V/e do not need
penalties. When a student fails
to be a good citizen, he has no
right to know just what he will
pay for his crime. I have always
fe\t that a system of penalties in-
dicates that we do not know how
many different people there are in
this world.
Finally, let me plead with some
members ' of this community. We
should be profoundly thankful for
the caliber of leadership we have
just now. We could have been torn
to pieces by this recent sadness.
But the administration and student
community— with some good faculty
help— have been able to take crit-
icism and try to find a new and
better way. Let us not lament any
longer the change of pattern in
dress, hair, etc. That has hap-
pened very often in history. Let
us accept the responsibility that
the good Lord has put on this com-
munity. We can become a genuine
center of vital life, intellectual
and social. We will have to tight-
en our belts, as the editorial sug-
gested, but a few years fi^mnow the
world will have one more example of
Community based entrust in God and
respect for all men. Dr. Spivey
has asked us to accept our job and
be serious about it.

On April 26, the Maiyville College
(Xi Rho) chapter of Phi Mu Alpha
Sinfonia, a national professional
music fraternity, was honored by
being chosen to present the formal
initiation for a new chapter in-
stalled at Knoxville College. Al-
so participating in the installa-
tion were members of chapters from
the University of Tennessee, East
Tennessee State University, and
Carson-Newman College. Eight mem-
bers of Xi Rho Chapter were also
able to present the informal in-
itiation to another new chapter
formed at Chattanooga University
on May 3. The Phi Mu Alpha chap-
ter here at Maryville, only six
years old, is one of over 300 chap-
ters in the United States. The
newly-elected officers of this
chapter for next year plan to ex-
tend the activity of Xi Rho so that
it will not only be a vital part
of the fraternity, but will also
project its experience and become
a stronger part of the Maryville
College Community.

Dear friends.
Hello from Nigeria. I am writ-
ing to answer a lot of letters and
inquiries from you about my ex-
periences and opinions— and through
a newspaper is the most efficient
way to express that. Excuse the
impersonality.
Just to balance up your know-
ledge of what you know and what you
do not know about me, I an studying
at the University of Ibadan under
a Junior Year Abroad pro grain. Am
taking a standard load of five
courses for the year: English
novel (very English), Practical
criticism, Twentieth-century liter-
ature, African literature and Ara-
bic language. My particular de-
partment is staffed mostly by
British lecturers; I am not only
studying under the English educa-
tional system but am also being ex-
posed to the British approach to
literature.
I suppose being in Nigeria is
supposed to make me an expert on
this crisis, the civil war. It is
hardly true. (As a student I
hardly feel the war at all, only
when I try to control teii^Der at the
too frequent checkpoints.) Have
exposed myself as much as possible
to the propaganda from London Times,
Time magazine. Radio Biafra and the
federal government, as well as in-
terviewing students fttxn aH tribes.
But in all the confusion, I have
long been leaning toward several
convictions: l) that secession
was planned long before any Tbo
massacres, 2) that American news
media is narrowly and deliberately
biased to the rebel side, 3) that
the Ibo man was not entirely in-
nocent of what happened to him in
the July and September massacres
of '66, and h) that peaceful coex-
istence is possible even with a
military victory.
Understand me, I am not trying
to justify anything. I think that
war is man's folly and waste. It
always ready to excuse, to trust,
to hope and to endure whatever
comes."
Does our community contain Love
of One? Does it contain love at
all? I have my doubts, for too
often the essence of community re-
mains for the student but an ab-
straction and disarming phrase
used by the administration and
faculty when there is nothing else
to be said. V/e are willing to ac-
cept you for what you are; are you,
the administration and the faculty,
vdlling to do the same?
Jim Reynolds
is not real to him; it transcends
the personal and puts man into a
world he is not used to coping with
nor capable of understanding when
he is submerged in it. That sit-
uation is one in which destruction
is used in its most exaggerated
forms under the pretende of justice
and human good. This war is par-
ticularly tragic in its stunting
the progress of what has long been
considered Africa's leading coun-
try.
I have just returned from hitch-
hiking around 1300 miles in Nigeria.
I saw in Kano and Zaria (North)
where Ibos had lived. I saw inEnugu
(the capital of the former Eastern
Region) where Ibos had evacuated
their homes. All was looted and
some of the city was bombed.
Although the buildings were left
standing, to live in them again
would be like starting all over.
But one would expect this from war.
What I did not expect was that the
important Ibo establishments were
being guarded by federal military
soldiers, that many Ibos had re-
turned and were beginning again,
that in the North, Ibo property was
being protected and the rents from
former Ibo hotels and apartments
were being collected by r-ovemment
of the state for the owners when
they returned. I was luckjr enough
to stay on the army compound at Sn-
ugu, which is on the war front al-
though things are very peaceful
in that area. I saw that the arm/
was bending over backwards to get
Ibos returned and back to normal
in the 'liberated' areas. I
chanced to see an Ibo interrogated
by an officer for being a former
rebel soldier; he was merely told
to return every three days so they
could keep an eye on him. The
Ibos I saw were content to be back
(and I was not under any military
escort so what I saw was nob stage-
managed). But this mostly supports
my fourth point, that peace is
possible after this civil war. I
was given evidence for my first
point by talking with expatriates
(foreigners) who were in the East
or around Nigeria when the trouble
began. The world seems to be ig-
noring the popular discussions of
state secession which prevailed
long before the massacres. Former
lecturers at Nsuka (University of
Nigeria) feel stronrly that plans
had been formulated for "Biafra"
as far back as 1965. (Nsuka was a
rebel stronghold.) The point that
"Biafra" was not primarily as re-
sult of the massacres is also sup-
ported by the fact that early pub-
lications of Eastern Region reek
with hints of secession. It is

I^st fall, I remember, I had a
most imique and ethnically inter-
esting experience; Dave Hugh, who
is my R.A,, was feeling sort of
bad, and he thought he might be
coming down with the Flu. (This
was before he lost his mustache in
a tragic wart-hog collision.) So,
Just in case, my roommate decided
to go to the infirmary for a flu
shot, I began to get paranoid, so
I finally ventured over to the
strange little building. If I re-
member correctly, somebody had
scribbled "abandon hope, all ye
who enter here" above the door. I
was prreeted by the Littleoldnurse-
whoneversaysanything(much) . I
walked into the office, and after
a minimal amount of preparation,
form-wise, she began.
I expected no pain, and got none
when the needle went in. (She had
an odd manner of jabbing once as
a prelimin£u?y gesture, and then the
real sticket came.) Suddenly, a
few drops of the flu elixir drooled
down my arm, and onto the floor.
She mumbled something about the
needle. I looked down at my arm
to see her holding the hypodermic
in it still, and I thought, "Well,
Steven, the old thing has broken
off the needle in your arm." But
she eased it out, and I found that
that wasn't the problem. I hadn't
had the full amount of fluid in-
jected in me, due to the spillage.
The nurse said, "I ain't never
had a needle leak on me before."
"Maybe it was me that leaked,"
T answered (which I thought was
nretty clever, but she didn't re-
act in any manner whatsoever, so
I just watched the ceiling.)

south.
She rams it in again, preliminary
jab and everything, injects, and
slowljr eases it out.
"You're a bleeder, eh?"
I looked and I was.
"Let me give you a band -aid."
How about a tourniquet or a trans-
fusion or something equally dra-
matic? I thought.
But she still insisted on put-
ting it on.
I was finally released, and as I
walked out, I noticed that my band-
aid-ed left arm refused to swing in
accordance with the right.
I asked it why, and it answered
in a rising throb, (which persis-
ted for a few hours).
So I walked down the walk with
almost a dose and a half of flu
virus running around in my cir-
culatory system somewhere. "It'll
probably GIVE me the flu," I said
aloud to the Sutton Science Center.
But as it turned out, I didn't
catch the flu after all. And neith-
er did David. It turned out that
he just had a cold. Which I caught.

conspicuous that the rebels x^ere
so immediately capable of mobili-
zation, in5)lying that there had
been a tremendous arms build-up.
This is all inconsistent with the
widely held belief that secession
was a direct result of "genocidal
massacres."
T cannot explain why Time and
Newsweek appear to be slanted pro-
rebel. They f^lorify the brave and
courareous Ibo soldier to exagger-
ation. Starvation figures are also
exDloited; rebel soldiers accord-
inp to British journalist are well-
fed and the nublic which is pic-
tured as "starving Ibo s" are usual-
ly not Ibos at all, but minorities
already suppressed under Ibo rule.
News media seem to drown experienced
reports like that of Congressman
Diggs who not only discarded the
theory of genocide, but recommended
that the US not accept rebel pro-
paganda so naively.
As to point 3' the massacres
cannot be justified, but if one
looks at the precarious situation
before the riots, he can see that
they were not spawned by genocidal
feeling but by the great imbalance
of .economic power and the arrogance
of those who held it in the North,
war can be paralleled to the way the
US white majority has had the ec-
onomic lever over the black minor-
ity. Only here modem "foreign"
Christian Ibo minority controlled
the system in a conservative Moslem
Hausa society. One is tempted to
say that one side was simply su-
perior, but this can be disregarded
after considering the backgroimd
and tradition of both societies.
The Ibo man, it is generally recog-
nized, jumped at Western civiliza-
tion; he is ambitious and quick to
adopt new ways. He is also enter-
prising and capitalistic and to
light the fuse, very proud. The
riots can be understood as the cli-
max of the slow realization of
economic servitude, resulting in
an irrational and a bloody swift
kick, which took thousands of lives.
I have had two Ibo friends here
tell me in privacy that if injus-
tice is always countered with ven-
geance, the Ibos in the North
should have expected their fate.
I have already talked of the fourth
point, but another reason that I
believe this war may end in unity
once the violence ends, is that
like most wars it is the burden
of the common man, it is the com-
mon who loses his life, and it is
the common man who under the in-
fluence of the prevailing mania,
wants to fight. But the argument
is not his; it is not even in his
lan^^age; it is someone else*s
ideas and both sides rely on lies
to keep fighting. And when it
comes down to it, the common man
just wants to live. Except f or
the ideology of the thing, there
is little distinction in the lives
of the people of nation of the
same status. This is all to say
that as soon as its leaders, those
who started the mania, give in,
the war and hate will soon collapse.
It seems I have said a mouth-
ful; I could not go into much de-
tail but people will write books
on that after this is all over.
If it seems I am radically pro-
federal, I»m not— only slightly.
But I wanted to do what I could to
make you think about the side not
favored by the American press.
A letter in Newsweek April Ih
from a Mr. Muhammed Ahmadu of
Ethiopia is also a typical and
justified opinion of the Nigerian
towards America's role in Nigeria.
I will leave here the last of
May, immediately after exams and
travel by ship and thumb through
the Middle East and Europe and
U.K. Will return late this summer
—anxiously.
Sincerely,

If we are to be down on the
violence that is hitting our cam-
puses then we are going to have to
be down on the violence of the
Chicago police last August. We
are goinr to have to be down on
the violence in Viet Nam, We are
poinf to have to be down on the U.
S. Marines when they as neutrals
put down an honest revolution in.
the Dominican Republic (who men-
tioned the American Revolution?),
V/e are poinpr to have to be down on
what happened in Guatemala in
195Ii, The democratically-elected
Arbenz of Guatemala vxanted to na-
tionalize a portion of United Fruit
Company's plantations in his coun-
try, land he needed badly for a
modest program of agrarian reform.
His government was overthrown in a
C.I. A. -supported right-wing coup.
The following year. General Walter
Bedell Smith, director of the CIA
when the Guatemala venture was be-
ing planned, joined the board of
directors of the United Fruit Com-
pany, (who said anything about
dollars?) All bad.
Any person taking a gun into a
academic community 3S a destructive
influence. But first let's look
at the frustration that we see in
this kind of act. We cannot let
him disrupt a quiet community, but
we sure can't shoot at him, of
course if he is going to carry a
rifle in the first place he is go-
ing to shoot back, and what good
would that do? I'e must be down on
violence, but let's do it totally.
But our side is on the side of the
oppressed. Those who are the sub-
jects of the violence of oppression
are the ones we must help, non-
violently, (oh, oh, there goes
that Christian stuff again)

TO THE
EDnOR
Bear Maryvillians,
I have acquired a disease vhich
is frequently fatal. Treatment is
underway. To demand your atten-
tion or sympathy is not - I repeat
- not my intention or desire*
Those of you who know me realize
that I am not the sort who re-
lishes pity, pecan divinity, or
other expressions of condolence.
So, with as much self understand-
ing as I can muster, I say that I
am reasonably sure I havr- no per-
sonal motives for vnritinp this ]et-
ter* I am, thouf'h some of you will
never believe it, writing because
of my deep concern for t'-is col-
lege, as its condition is reflect-
ed in a situation which only co-
incidentally concerns myself.
Ourine the recent rufflinf' of
our placid campus, the* terms
"Christian" and "community" nearly
became battle cries; the one side
assert inf: their existence in real-
ity, the other postulating the con-
cepts as a lovely ideal as yet
\mrealized» I heard all this and
said little because I was weary of
the repetition, even when the
views being repeated affirmed ny
own* But now I have somethinf^ to
say.
In -the two weeks that I have been
hospitalized and otherwise out of
commission, I have been visited,
flowered, written to, cared for,
and entertained by many students
of vastly differend backgrounds
and points of view* They have
cheered me in the ugliest hours
and expressed that "concern in ac-
tion" which is the essence of
Christianity. In all they have
done and said and left unspoken,
their sense of our "relatedness"
has been apparent. A community
based not on rules and duties but
an awareness of mutual responsi-
bility: I have seen it in these
students, and I must repeat that
they represent even/ conceivable
sort of person on campus.

The Highland Echo usually has
room each week for a page of %)ort3,
and usually this page has some-
thing on it. But the past few is-
sues have had little or nothing
about the Spring events taking
place both on and off campus. The
baseball, track, and tennis teams
have not had enough coverage* The
intramural events have not been
written about. Sports has not
been in the spotlight, and there
seems to be no ligat at all. l/hat
has happened?
Ground is being cleared for the
new athletic complex which soon
will be added to this campus. The
new facilities will enhance the
department, and will attract ath-
letes to the campus as students
much more readily than our present
facilities. The board of directors
is confronted with the problem of
providing more money for athletic
scholarships. VJhat does this have,
to do with news coverage?
The new conplex is a waste of
money without the interest of the
community behind it. New scholar-
ships are a waste of money w.thout
the community behind them. Ath-
letic teams are a waste of noney
without the community behind them.
The Sports page in the Highland
Echo is supposed to bring the re-
sults of the Athletic competition
to the community and stir the com-
munity into Support of the teams.
It has tried, but it depends en-
tirely on cooperation from the
athletic department and the com-
munity. Stories do not drop out
of the sky —they have to be written.
Statistics do not compile them-
selves—somebody has to do it.
There have been three contri-
buting writers this season. Each
has done what he could, but each
has school work to do before he
writes ^orts. Ivhat I am trying
to s ay is this. We have not had
the full cooperation of the ath-
letic department this seasoa.
VJhose fault that is 1 do not know,
but I do know that writers have
been unable to get material when
they need to write their stories.
We have not had full cooperation
from the student body. Not only
is the attendance at athletic e-
vents low, butihe number of people
showing interest in writing for
the paper is frightfully low.
Will next year be different?
Will the spirit shown by the com-
munity at the end of this year's
Now I must speak of the faculty
and administration, the other fa-
cets of our academic trinity. Sx-
cept for the visits of Dr. Camp-
bell and certain members of wy own
department, I have not received
one card, one wilted tulip, one
telephone call, or similar acknow-
ledgment of my existence. I was
told, via the student grapevinel
(as I have acquired most of my inr
formation about what's happening
for the past three years), that I
was prayed for at All College
Council. Oddly enough, I was not
at that moment healed. I am a-
shamed that my colleagues should
regard this demonstration of sub-
lime buckpassing as adequate ex-
pression of their Christian con-
cern. Dear Maryvillians,, God is
here among us in our loving re-
sponse to each other,, or he is
Nowhere, man. Either we are a
community so closely knit that
when a toe is stubbed the tongue
feels a twinge, or our whole basis
for operation is aHasphetrry against
"Christianity" and "community", two
of the most sacred words I know
and I am not a person who knows
many sacred words.
I must reiterate my assertion
that there is nothing personal in
all this. If I were to get a
bouquet of roses from every member
of the staff (a horrible thought-
decaying flowers now litter my a-
partment), it would not alter the
fact that it was not until I got
sick myself that I realized the
college was sick also.
Please, adult Maryvillians, read
and heed. Look at the students.
They sneer when you call them
Christians, but they can Itvo the
part beautifully. They smirk,
disillusioned, ;hen you speak of
community, but they are capable of
that warm interaction Wiich is the
concept's center. Recognize this
potential and make a real effort
to bring it to campus-wide actual-
ity.

The intramural committee of the
Student Coordinating Council has
been busy with new ideas and plans
for next year.
A new experimental concept of
coed sports is being put into ef-
fect on Monday, May 19, at h:Oq
when a selected group of six boys
and 6 girls will unite to form a
Softball team. There will he U
teams, oie to represent each class,
in the tournament. Freshman against
Sophomores and Juniors against
Seniors will be played on Monday,
and Wednesday the 21st will match
the losers and winners. The games
will be played on the boys intra-
mural field. In case of rainihe
games will be played on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
This is merely an experimental
idea but with good results a num-
ber of coed sports will be put in-
to the intramural programnext year.
Heading the freshman team will
be Ellen Mehaffey and Jerry Cooperj
Sophomores, Mike Barrows and Ann
Whittier; Juniors, Alice Weber and
Mack Eettis and Seniors, Mary Pad-
dison and Pob Kusek.
Come on out and support your team
and class on Monday and Wednesday.
The more spirit, interest, and en-
thusiasm shovm the better results
for next year.
Besides, it might be fun to see
your pirlfriend slide into second
base or throv; a runner out at home
from left field. Never can tell
what some girls can do when it
comes to softball.

After allihe talk, confront at ioi>
tracts, and demonstrations of the
past few days, the question arises!
I^Tiat have we achieved? As demon-
stration photographer and obser-
ver, I went to all major meetings,
listened, looked, thought. I
think it's too early to get a
clear idea of what has (and has
not) been achieved by this acti- ,
vity. We must look to the future
to tell us that. But I have many
impressions from •Demonstration
Week", and that's what I'm writing
on.
First ard foremost, the students
showed they were concerned and re-
SDonsible. No one can deny that.
All that occurred had obvious stu-
dent participation, and there were
no irresponsible actions in any of
the meetings. Even more than that,
it was the first time students of
all persuasions spoke out. Usual-
ly, the ones who speak are the li-
berals and the more-liberals, and
this always bothered me. I wanted
to hear what the "other" side had
to say. Now they have found their
voice, and I hope they keep them.
Because^ now have all sides talk-
ing among the students, the open-
ness and non-conSensus of the
students is a challenge to all
others, ''^e agree that we don't a-
gree on all things, so why can't
the other segments of the commun-
ity have as much openness and
qiestioning?
The action the Board took in
seeing the students, talking and
listening to them, was the iwost
positive thing that has been a-
chieved around here for weeks.
They were concerned, interested,
and they wanted to har our ideas.
I don't know what iBppened the next
time the Board met, but I do know
that the spectre of the Board kill-
ing any liberal moves on this cam-
pus has become fainter and fainter
in my mind. Either they are apa-
thetic, which I seriously 6. abt,
or else they are much more^ open
tnan we had been led to believe,
and they trust us, probably more
than we do ourselves. They seem-
ingly gave the ACC a blank check
in regard to actions taken by the
Council. Now the question arises:
V/ho do we have to make concessions
to? Always, it was the spectre of
the T^oard in the back of our minds.
Now, that has been proven to be un-
founded, so who must we now make
concessions to? And one more point.
By meeting with the students, the
Board acknowledged them as equals
and as a legitimate power to be
reckoned with in the affairs of
the College. Paternalism is dead
as a doctrine for decisions, and
all have to acknowledge that.
^This includes not only faculty
and administration who wr uLd like
to patemalize, but also students
who are willinr to sit back and be
paternalized.
If something positive doesn't
come out of this (and don't ask
me what that would be, for it's as
much a feeling as it is an action),
then we've wasted a lot of study
time, lots of vocal effort, this
editorial, and about eight feet of
my film. Considering all things
(especially the last), I hope that
all sides and persuasions sLt down,
clear the clutter off the table,
and start out fresh trying to make
a community out of this place.

^ear Editor,
The wondrous day has finally ar-
rived— ovT yearbooks are here! I
To top off this perfect week I
would like to congratulate Mr,
Sharpe and also answer his letter
to the editor 3 weeks ago in which
he seems to have missed the Doint
comnletely.
So there will be no doubts as to
what I think an annual should and
should not be, my thesis is as fol-
lows: (1) The yearbook should not
be a junior class project, A float
is a project; a yearbook deserves
a little more class • (2) There's
no getting around it, a yearbook
should be organized around photo-
graphy—good photography • (Yes Mu
Sharpe, to compare our yearbooks to
a photographic annual is a bit ri-
diculous; such extremes in quality
can only be contrasted.) (3) Photo-
portant that it can make t!ie dif-
ference between a really good pic-
ture and a mediocre one, tJhy
should we put up with a verage or
poor photographs when we could
easily have excellent ones? To
quote a poet, poetry (in this case
photography) is the art "whereby
ordinary" things should be presented
to the mind in an unusual aspect,"
The lack of good photography can
be partly blamed on the editorship
and its qiialifications. An editor
should know photography through
and through and be the best photo-
grapher on the staff. The editor
should know at least as much about
the photographs he edits as the
people who took them. The tradi-

graphic knowledge and experience
should be the basic requirements
for any yearbook editor (or staff
member). The little black ballot
box is out of place here, (k)
The tradition that now governs how
the yearbook is run should be
plowed under. "A foolish consis-
tency is the hobgoblin of little
minds,,,,"'
For noint number one Iwould like
to ask why the yearbook has to be
a junior class project? Wyy should
it be any class's project? l-^at
if the yearbook had its own inde-
pendent organization like the Echo
or the societies? The annual staff
could be a never ending organiza-
tion with the permanent physical
base of a well equipped darkroom.
To be able to control the dark-
room end of photography is so im-
nated the annual. They have ib stored
a system that has turnea many
people (including myself) away from
the yearbook staff. Yes, T was
asked by Mr. Sharp to take pictures
for the annual and declined the
honor. Why? Because ever since I
developed my first roll of film
nine years ago T realized that
photography is more than just aim-
ing a camera, but to spend the
long periods of time in the ancient
daricroom in the FAC devd oping and
printing many yearbook pictures
would be more than anyone could af-
ford.
I could say more but I think
this is enough to bring the ques-
tion out into the open» As for
this year's annual, its Great, its
Fantastic, its a Work of Art, Mr,
Sharpe did more than the average
editor as far as photography goes
and for this he should be given
credit. Yet he still only scratched
the surface.
To answer the questions that Mr,
Sharpe asked in his letter I w^uld
like first to say that if a year-
book staff was made up of photo-
graphers drawn from the whole
student body the number would be
more like a handful rather than a
"cast of thousands," He also
asked whether I or anyone else
would be able to take a week off
in October to take class pictures.
The answer is "no," because three-
fourths of these pictures cculd be
taken in April and May of the pre-
c ceding year which would leave
only the freshmen to be photo-
graphed in September, This sys-
tem ix)uld be able to cut the cost
at least in half and coiald elimin-
ate the long list of "Not Photo-
graphed" that always seems to find
its w ay into our annuals.
What I want to change is a tra-
dition, a "foolish consistency,. "
Why do people join the yearbook
staff now, if I may venture a
guess? Because it's a nice thing
to do, add another feather to their
cap and puts them just a little
more IN, I'm tired of nice little
people telling me that a yearbook
should not be photography and that
it is very, very, very, important
to have pictures well arranged on
a page. Of course annuals are
more than just pictures, but as it
stands now good photography seems
to be nothing more than an un-
wanted by-product. Five really
good pictures just thrown on a
page would beat those one-and-a
-half -hour masterpieces that now go
into our yearbooks.
I write this letter in frustra-
tion, not just my own buf also that
of at least half a dozen other
photographers who would be more
than glad to take pictures for the
yearbook if only they had a good
r^arkroom in which to work. If
there are people who for some un-
known reason want to arrange things,
how about starting a flower arran-
ging society on campus. They could
have exhibits in the FAC and, who
knows, someone might even take a
few pictures of the best arrang-
ments and put them in a photogra-
phic yearbook, (but only if they
were arranged right). 3Ji summary/:
Pray for a Yearbook.
For those nice little organiza-
tion men and wise, wonderful lead-
ers with their infinite knowledge
and insight who may chalk this let-
ter up as so many sour grapes, I
can only quote that Harvard philo-
sopher (without permission I'm a-
fraid) and say, "To hell withyou."

After a month cf review and warm-
up questions, "ttie team to represent
Maryville College on the MACCI
Instant Answers program has been
selected. Captain of the team,
which is similar to a College Bowl
squad of four, is Bob Washburn,;
senior History major from Mary-
ville. Serving as alternate cap-
tain is Mack Gamer, a junior ma-
joring in Political Science and a
meniber of the varsity debate team,
also from Maryville. Other team
members are Robert Hitchens , sopho-
more actor and debater who is ma-
joring in English, from Maryville,
and Mike Montgomery, a freshman
English major from Knoxville.
First alternate is Jane Elmore,
junior, from Oak Ridge, Tenn. Sec-
ond alternate is ^en Murr, fresh-
man, from Rockford, Tenn.
In the first round to be tele-
vised over Channel 10 in Color on
May 31 at 2r30 p.m., Maryville
College meets Milligan College.
All matches are between Mid-
Appalachian College Council teams.
If successful in that round, Mary-
ville will meet the winner of the
Tusculum-Onion match in the second
round.
The program consists of rapid-
fire qwstions requiring a quick
recall within a 10 second time
limit, answered by individual mem-
bers of either team, plus two "in-
depth" questions for each team
which are wrth 25 points each and
represent a team effort, to c ompile
the answer.

nouncer is the questioner a nd mas-
ter of ceremonies for the shows.
The series began on May 2h and con-
tinues through the next eight Sat-
urdays.
Since BDst Maryville College stu-
dents will be unable to view the
quiz team on television t his sum-
mer, this writer feels that they
should be informed about how the
team has done in its three matches,
which have already been played. In
the first match against Milligan
the team posted a 195-100 victory.
Lithe next match Tusculum was made
Maryville* 8 second victim when the

I would like to e]q>ress my thanks
to all the people who have helped
put this year's Echo together. I
have had a great staff* I would
like to give ray special thanks to
Ann Little who really has been the
force behind making the Echo phys-
ically possible. Also i want to
thank my editorial staff fbr writing
like they have and especially to
Mark McMaster for putting up with
me. What has really helped this
year is the support we have re-
ceived from members of the com-
munity, the Echo thanks all of you.
I sincerely hope that next year's
Echo will be an improved Echo and
a newspaper that all people will
use as this can5)us's primary com-
munication medium*

This has been an interesting
year but only a formailative year.
We still have a lot to do to open
the community up. One of the
year's low points was ihen the
board of directors was here. The
last meeting at Thaw Hall was a
disaster. Two people of the so
callec^ conservative leaning were
shouted down and mocked when they
attempted to react to some of the
points many of the students felt
were irrportant. Dialogue was
gagged then. It really made the
hope of community seem distant.
But one of the highs of this year
was in that same week, hundreds of
Haryville College members showed
their concern. What is next is to
see that the ACC has the credibi-
lity that it must have if we are
to have a community.
One more thing about dialogue aid
community (those two Maryville
College myths).. Is a community
based on equality and responsibi-
lity? What happened to love, or
don't we use that word any more,
(see the letter to the editor from
"a worried observer")

A Worried Observer
To the Student Body:
I have been at Maryville College
for one year now and I have liked
this school. I have found the
classes interesting and the fa-
culty good at their jobs and some
even became my friends, "^his stu-
dent body is the big disappoint-
ment of the beginning of ny col-
lege career. It seems from their
actions that some of them are ly-
ing, cheating, rotten scoundrels
Their main job is to find as much
gossip about their fellow students
and faculty as they possibly can.
They don't care how much is truth
or how much they hurt people j^t
so they get them out of the way.
These same students are the ones
who back either silently or out-
loud the loud cries of the decep-
tion of their fellow students and
faculty. They yell "Where is the
Community?— it is individual re-
sponsibility and equality" and sapr
it should be improved. While they
L1TTCR5 ^ COM?:
are shouting, they refuse to abide
by existing rules or standards,
codes—state and local, and even
how elections are rtm* They shoiild
learn the rules of behavior as fol-
lowed and taught to them by their
elders. This c©untry, which I am
proud of, has basic rules aid mores
that have long been established
and it is the job of you students
as future members of it to uphold
these laws or work lawfully to
change the ones youlhink areirong.
It is not your job to act as mi-
nority Mafia leaders to try and
run everything just the way your
little hearts desire* If you think
that just because by disobeying
flagrantly all the rules by which
this country and this community
that you will succeed in improving
things for future students you are
sadly misinformed. For many years
people have tried this very thing
and others have rebelled and killed
it. I am asking all responsible
and honest and patriotic (it's not
a bad word) students \ho have here-
tofore listened to gossip and
obeyed pressure or have been so
silent as to be completely "out of
it" to stand up and tell the gos-
sipers, libeler»o«- liberal, modep-
ate, and conservative to shut up
and start working for their "Com-
munity" lawfully or to "get the
hell out of here!"

a heretofore silent one.
Bear Editor:
The ideal purpose and objectives
of Maryville College, as presented
in the catalog, provide for change
and do allow individuals consider-
able freedom and liberty. The
statement of purpose is certainly
not restrictive or dogmatic. If
anything the statement, "pursuit
of truth in concept and in life"
can lead to the opening of the
mythical Pandora's box.
It seems to this writer that in
a real sense this school provides
a school environment which ds semi-
tailored for the individual who
wishes to explore and discover.
Individual differences do and will
exist andlhis recognition is taken
into account by the statement of
purpose and objectives.
....recognizing that when dif-
ferences and tension no long-
er exist, nan ceases to grow.
With the preceding in mind, it
anpears to this writer that a com-
munity is not one based on "equal-
ity." It is one based on dif-
ferences and distinctions. The
important point for a coramur.ity to
realize is the fact that each per-
son in the community is different
and unique. After genuinely real-
izing that differences do exist,
the next important point is that
of affirming and practicing re-
spect for different people.
The general community is char-
acterized in society by different
individuals who have various spe-
cialities and possess various
goals in life with loose and ten-
uous community ties. We can ex-
pect no less or no more than this
in our college oommunity.
Thus, a community as I suggested
does exist, but implicitly to ex-
pect widespread agreement or sup-
port on many secondary issues is
just not wise. To expect wide-
spread agreement or support on one
or two basic matters may even be
overly optimistic. We may reach
majority decisions on some matters,
but the intensity of the decision
may be lacking or the margin of
decision may be slim.
In a realistic sense a renewal
or refocusing of energies and time
toward understanding differences
seems adviseable and appropriate.
In this connection the emphasizing
or reeraphasizing of interrelation-
ships between and among different
groups and individuals seems like-
wise appropriate. By concentrat-
ing on these various relationships,
unity and diversity might coincida
If a consensus or community will
is truly expressed, it is expressed
^ontaneously and fl»eely.

ning,
Here we go again.
Defeated by a lesser team,
Will we ever win?
My answer to this little verse
is NO. No matter how much material
M.C. baseball and basketball teams
have, they still do not ever have
a great season. For some of you
people who do not understand what
I am saying, I will briefly explain.
They, the material on these two
athletic teams, is being potential-
ly held down to a low level or de-
gree by (you guessed itl) the man
at the helmll
I, as an athlete (previous to
this article) and student of Mary-
ville College would like to see
something done to update this ele-
ment of our athletic department in
Page 3
order for it to catch up to the
rest of it, and also catch up with
the school as a whole.
I personally feel that if the
leader (?) of these two sports does
not do s omething to update his
style, then someone like the ad-
ministration ought to wake up and
do something about it. I have
seen too many "good" athletes' at-
titudes ruined by the "mickey-
mouse" style this leader (?) uses,
and by his complete lack of player
control, player - coach respect.
I have nothine: against the man, I
personally think he is a great guy
(off the competitive athletic field
or court I )
It is really too bad to have
something like this keeping other
good athletes in these two sports
from coming here, but don't kid
yourselves-the players nowwJuldnH
think of putting anyone else
through what they've gone through.
Athletes on most teams in the area
already realize what's here in
these two sports, that's why a few
of them won't come here J
In high school, many athletes
played for excellent coaches, and
when they graduated, they were ex-
cited about the new and better
coach they were going to play for
in college. Here at Maryville it
reverts back to a Jr. High school
level - kind of disappointingly
I'd just like for a few people
to think this over during the
coming summer.

Dear Editor ^
I hare been receiving the High-
land Echo through the mail} and
although I never really read it
seriously until I found myself In
this situation— Vietnam^ I now
read with interest what some of
the students at MC think about the
struggle, war, conflict in South
Vietnam. V/hat I have read over
the weeks has prompted me to write
what I feel onttie subject as many
have done back in the 'world.'
Most of what I have read has been
in favor of staying and settling
for a 'respectable* peace so that
the U.S. will not lose face, but I
say that is a bunch of hogwash es-
pecially when N. Korea can capture
one of our boats and then shoot
down one of our planes and we do
nothing about it. The U.S. has
lost face a long tine ago.
Back to my side of the story. I
am in the Mecong Delta working out
at a base casrp called Dong Tam which
this time a year ago plus a few
months was a rice paddy. The maps
do not have it on them as yet. At
present I am about U5 miles from
Dong Tam at a Fire Support Base
Danger working with the 1* BN 39th
Inf. I am not in the infantry but
in artillery but I go out with the
infantry to call in fire ^en they
need it. Get the picture I am just
like a gunt (infantryman). There
is no way that you can go out on
Ian operation and come back in dry.
tlw elevation of the delta is below
^ feet at sea level.
Without going into much detail
about what we do which is not my
point here, I wanted to state that
this is a lousy place to spend 12
months of my life and for what— so
the Vietnamese can be f ree? This
is hard to believe really. All
they care about is where the next
meal is coming from, how much they
can take the GI for. They do a
very minimum of the fighting and
hardly ever go out to lode for
Charlie. People in higher places
do not really know what goes on
they take what a man with a gold
or silver oak leaf tells them.
They really never get out andpund
the paddies* And when some big
big shows up what a show is put on
so that he will get a good impres-
sion which is usually not the truth.
This is the same with the body
count of VC killed. If U.S. troops
killed all the VC as the figures
say there wouldn't be anybody left
to fight. This is the way they
(CO's, BnCO's and higher officers)
want it so that they can get good
recommendations and more rank.
me and this friend of mine were
sitting on a rock one day idly
conibing our beards Aen this sheep-
dog with this long white hair
falling down over his ^yes and
combed neatly around his ears, we
felt a sort of kinship right off.
well, as it turned out i knew this
sheepdog for four years before i
finally got him to concede that my
hair could be longer, if never
whiter, than his. about that time
we went our separate weighs; but
just before we said peace i sat
down and sang a little song i'd
made up about him. i thought it
was funny and so did my bearded
friend (remember him?), but the
sheepdog wasn't overly happy with
the i*iole thing so we sat down one
fine foggy evening and talked it
over and under, just him and me.
somewliere early in the ensuing
conversation we grabbed a by stand-
ing bull by the horns and gave it
What you read in the papers is
not the real story if you want that
go out into the rice paddy with
the leg man with his pack, ammo,
C-rations, and mosquitoes, water
and of course Charlie. This is a
political war and if the politicians
would get off their cans and do
something maybe alot of American
boys who now are men can come home.
I an one of the oldest guys in my
company and I don't think I am old
yet.
Sure politicians aid other people
have ideas about Wiat to do but no-
thing is haupeningto stop the war.
I say again if some people were
put in the situation where their
life was on the line every time
they went out, that $60 some dol-
lars combat pay would not mean too
much but they sure would want this
mess to be over with.
There is a saying overh3re(*I.'s
have put on their lighter and lit-
tle articles they buy, "When I die
I know I am going to Heaven be-
cause I have spent my time in Hell."
This may not be the best letter
to write, but that's the way slot
of fellows over here feel and not
one I have talked to says that the
U.S. should be over here.
G.I.'s have a saying for men in
the Army who are all Army and
saluting and that bit. They are
called lifers. Myself I am going
to spend 19 months in the army and
then let them— whoever that is have
it back.

he accused ne of not loving dogs
or apple pie or school flags or
mothers, i told him, on the con-
trary where would people like me
be in this forest if it weren't
for all the mothers prowling the
streets; and school flags are even
handier for burning than the white-
blue-and-red ones, but what he
was really accusing me of was not
loving dogs (he never cared for
apple pie himself), i set him
straight on that quickly enough.
i said, as we all know dogs are
man's best friends, next to moth-
ers of coinrse, and i happen to be
very fond of them, it is only
when a dog wags his tail at me and
tries to make me his master that i
get ticked, dogs are great as
friends but as servants they aren't
worth a damn, and i told him so.
i blamed him for trying to screw
me by throwing a saddle of respon-
sibility toward him on me. that
was a bit hard for him to hang on-
to but he promised to try. having
unsettled that issue we went on to
a different pasture,
he told me i was one hell of a sin-
ger and i agreed, but i said he
didn't understani the beauty of a
funny song, he liked love songs.
well, they're all right in their
place but there are other things
that need to be said too, and from
here it looks like either laughter
or bum baby, he was also miffed
because i kept writing these songs
about him and he wanted to know
why i didn't write one about my
bearded friend fyou'd forgotten him*
againl). i tried to tell him that
as long as he insisted on looking
upon himself as a sheepdog and not
just as another friend of mine i'd
keep singing about dogs, now my
friend with the beard could be the
subject of a great many songs, but
with all his hangups he still
looks on himself as ny friend and
not my dog. i admit he's quite
stupid at times; he messes up a
good opportunity to build something
substantial by making a bunch of
little bitches around his drinking
water, or artificial substitutes
thereof, and social diseases of a
non-venereal sort, he lets slip
by opportunities to rid the forest
of distinctions between men and
beasts but he wants what they hava

What is the Black student's role
here on the Maryville campus? Are
we to be tokens, added to the tra-
dition of the Ivory tower of Mary-
ville College for nine months of
the year, only to be cast out by
the white students as 'niggers"
for the summer months and 'uncle
terns' by our friends at home? Just
what is the price of integration?
What is integration? The presence
of nine Blacks among seven hundred
Whites? Sure, it's a start but
how much do we have in common?
"How are you?" "Fine today, and
you?" "Oh, I'll live." And you
call this livingl? Man, you are
resCLly dead to what's happening I
look at the outside world. It re-
ally blinds you to see the effects
cf riots. You know ^y it's blind-
ing don't you? It's because the
integration on the Maryville Col-
lege campus isn't real at all—it's
a play %n>rld. So, we're all
friends together, all h^py to-
gether, all beautiful together. ««»
nan, this is the only way to live
but it isn't real— it only lasts
for nine months; then where does
it leave me, the 'nigger',, the
'uncle torn', the 'token'? If you
are going to have integration then
go all the way I I'm a 'person'
too, but for three months of the
year I'm..

Sixty -two books.. that's how many
books the library hasfbund missing
this year when students requested
them. There's no way of knowing
the total number missing until
suraner inventory.
Our library has open stacks -
this means the students can get
their own books rather than wait-
ing for a library assistant to
retrieve them. The library has to
trust the students to check the
books out, but the system seems to
have broken down this year. The
Horizon Book £f Cathedrals, THe
Beatles and three other fairly ex-
pensive books were lifted from the
display tables.
Cost to our library... each book,
$5 .15 processingfte plus the price
of the book. Sixty-two books -
$356.50 processing alone.
The students need those books.
We're the ones who are being hurt.
To those students who have the
books, please shove them through
the book shoot at the end of Thaw
at 12 o'clock at night ifyDu cfcn't
want to bring them back. The li-
brary and the students need those
books.

BIRTHS
iJom to a proud sophomore class
a beautiful new yearbook editor of
unknown weight on an obscure day
in April, 1969. Tradition has it
that this person is chosen bv Ood
to put together one comple-jjely
nonpho to graphic yearbook. In the
past the editor has usually been a
person who was good at ignoring
the facts and who was able to put
together the poorest annual in a
most inefficient way. This new-
bom babe could change this pat-
tern if she really cared and knew
anything about photography. By
investigation it has been dis-
covered that the money for a dark-
room could be made available if
our newborn editor were concerned
enough to go see the right people
(like the President of Timeless
Traditions), and if a repayment
plan could be agreed upon (such as
through the activity fee). But
then our babe would be lost in a
darkroom. If only The Annual came
before The Editor.

Love, Honor, and Obey. Amen.

This year's Stinking Shoe series
saw Alpha Sigma dominate in all
events. Flagball and basketball
brought traditional excitement
from both societies, and the power-
ful Sigs revealed their strength
by bombarding Kappa Phi II1-8 and
10-1 in Softball action. Winning
pitchers were Carl Fisher and Rod
Parry, but credit must be given to
the players and coaches of both
games. All Sigs will return for
next year's action except for Red-
man, who led Sig in complete vic-
tory this year* The members of
Alpha Sigma are in hopes that more
enthusiasm will be expressed by
the student body for such tradi-
tional athletic competition as the
Stinking Shoe series.

Seeing as this is the end of the
year, I am starting to look forward
to next year andihe things I would
like to see done during that year.
The following is ny "I wish" list
for the next year#
I wish that,,,
coed dorms would be studied and
set up on this campus,
bacon, tomato, and lettuce sand-
wiches would be abolished,
smoking was allowed anywhere on
campus,
hours for girls would be abol-
ished,
a teacher evaluation and stand-
ards committee would begin
working.
our maintenance crews got a
decent salary,
no drinking rule at allacisted.
improvement were made in the
older residence halls to
match the rising room costs,
Willard House would be converted
into an informal loui^ge,
study area, andBS center for
students and faculty (and let
administration people in too,
just to prove we don't dis-
criminate!)
more people cf conservative lean-
ings would make themselves
heard on campus issues,
there were more town meetings,
the Elias would receive a com-
mendation for gaining the
respect and admiration of
Carnegie Hall,
paternalism were dead on this
campus,
men could participate, legally^
With Dave Gamer and Don Hickman
on the injured list, Steve Gordon
took over the quarterback position
for the Scot offense in the annual
Red -White game played here on Sat-
urday night, Gordon had pre-
viously been playing a defensive
position, and had had on!ly two
days of practice at QB. He led
his unit to a $l4-li3 victory over
the defensive unit of the Scot
team. The game was scored as fol-
lows:
Offensive (Red)
6 points for a Touchdown
1 point for a First Down
1 point for a Completed Pass
Defensive (White)
1 point for an Incomplete pass
'. 2 points for stopping a 1st down
3 points for an interception
3 points for a fumble recovery
6 points for a touchdown
The defense took an early lead
on two fumble recoveries and a
pass interception, and managed to
add to their score in other plays
to hold the lead at the end of the
first quarter, 17-6. The Red of-
fensive unit swung into action
early in the second period with
John Klein and Rich Snyder running

the school had a decent darkroom
for the yearbook, paper, and
private use.

there were places on this campus

for two consecutive 1st downs, and
a TD on a pass from Gordon to
Robertshaw. Red took the lead as
Gordon ran for two more first
downs, 18-17. The play climaxed
as time ran out in the first half
with an incomplete pass which
broke a tie and gave the White a
25-?ii edge.
The defense repeated its action
in the 3rd period as they took a
35-26 lead, foiling two 1st down
attempts, picking up a fumble, and
intercepting a pass with a fine
play by Bob Ciccotti. Red slowly
caught up and took the lead with a
second touchdown on a pass from
Fordon to Joe Kozell, 140-36. The
offensive unit managed to maintain
their lead for the rest of the
game. With 6: hi remaining Gordon
was relieved by Bill Cochran after
playing a very strong game, and
the Red unit ran to victory, 5l4-li3»
Here's how the scoring went:
Offense
Touchdowns - 3
First Downs - 27
Completed Passes - 9
Defense
Incompleted Passes - 8
Stopped first downs - h
Interceptions - 2
Fumble recoveries - 7
Touchdowns - 0
I could think of all the other
things which I want done at this
time. There is only one more thing
which I wish at this time though,
I wish that students, administra-
tion, and faculty would realize
that we have a stake In this co lie g^
a big one# We've made a start at
improving this college, bit we have
a long way to go; Next year, the
ACC cannot sit on what gains we
made this year toward making sane,
enforcable and respected rules and
attitudes for this campus. We must
re-examine all aspects of "Oiis com-
munity. Students should not assume
that they know all the answers, bit
everyone else should listen and
think about what students have to
say. If they do that, then maybe
Maryville has a chance. If th^y
don't, I hate to think of coming
back for By 30th class reunion to

iversity of Tennessee,

Recentilythe conservative leaders
of the staff and stiident body at
M.C, have become alarmed at the in-
creasing strength of a radical
minority ^^ich is making loud de-
mands for a true "equality" within
both "ttie college community and the
community at large. The particular
area that this "communist" (to
quote a noted authority) organiza-
tion is working in islhat of equal
treatment of all mankind in Pear-
son's Dining Hall. A spokes man
for the group said that the move-
ment was inspired last fall when
one of "the housemothers unexpected-
ly showed up for breakfast. The
spokesman cleverly told reporters
that "Miss Ware was running around
like a chicken with its head cut
off." It seems that she was trying
to find some real coffee and some
warm, palatable toast to give the
housemother. The spokesman can
verify these discriminatory prac-
tices because he was sitting at
the same table. E-e said that the
whole table received the benefits
of this special treatment, but that
"I felt such a strong empathy for
the students who were victimized
by the usual practices that rny di-
gestive system was upset, and I
couldn't enjoy my meal any more
than usual."
Another member of this radical
group emphasises the terribly un-
just practices that occur when
guests eat in the Ware House.
Being a prominent member of the
community, he had occasion to sit
with one of the visiting speakers
at the meal. Many problems come
to surface here. First, why do
adult guests on campus get a free
meal, but^en prospective students
visit for a weekend, they must pay?
And why don't young and middle*
aged visitors have to stand in
line?— They have to ^t expensive
cafeterias — is someone making a
feeble attenpt to cover up for all
the shortcomings? But the real
clincher, as stated by the radical
concerned here, was that "for once
I had a napkin that extended all
the way across ny lap, and that
djdn*t tear when I unfolded it.
This is really an ironic practice,
because when I eat with guests, I
put on my Sunday manners, and so
actually have little use for a
good napkin."
Another serious problem, T^ich
though a concern with the entire
student body, is not a point of
attack of this radical organiza-
tion (not being a problem of un-
equal treatment). Mwertheless,
this opportunity shoula be taken
to say something about sloppiness
in the serving line— of which all
the servers, of course, are not
xfiftuiiQanxmxiiimiiiiiBJBdLtnxmmtteKmBBfi^^
To get back to the issues raised
by the equality fanatics: the bas-
ic question seems to boil down to
a credibility gap between students
being told that they are equal
raambers of the community and actual
practice. Aren't students, the
leaders of tomorrow, wrth a little
extra trouble? And in addition,
aren't all men possessive^of cer-
tain inalienable rightsf When
will this bigotry end? The radical
organization (disclosed recently
as the TRO) demands that something
be done NEXT YEARl There won't be
many people here, so maybe it will
be easier to get used to trying
harder a little bit at a time.

!/^|S;
To maintain an open communi-
cation . between all members of
the community and the All Col-
lege Council, an account of the
ACC workshop held last week
follows.
The first session began with
a discussion of the basic prin-
ciples and problems in college
government. Functions of the
Board of Directors, faculty,
administration, and students
were restated.
Coordinating Council's func-
tions were re-evaluated. It
was decided to drop the name
coordinating and refer to each
sphere of interest, i.e. Social,
Religious Life, etc. The struc-
ture of these councils were
clarified. The committees were
advised to consider the impli-
cations of their decisions.
The second session began with
a discussion of an article con-
cerning academic freedom, and
a town meeting may be held in
the near future in which to
discuss that topic.
ACC will meet twice a month
in Anderson Conference Room
30i4. Committee reports are to
be made available a day in ad-
vance so that proper changes
can be made in the agenda for
the meeting.
Town meetings will be held
once a month in the theater.
It will be a public forum, not
an action happening. Further
information can be found in
the September i4th minutes of
the ACC.
David R. Cartlidp^e, Assistant
Professor of Philosophy and Re-
ligion, received his Doctor of
Theolopy degree June 12 from
Harvard University. This de-
gree required the study of He-
brew, French, Latin, Greek, Ar-
amaic and German. As an addi-
tional language. Dr. Cartlidge
studied Coptic. His disserta-
tion was "Competing Theologies
of Asceticism in the Early
Church," and was an exploration
of the various theologies which
supported ascetic practices in
the church to 300 AD. The Echo
staff extends its heartiest
congratulations to Dr. Cart-
lidge.

on Honaker Field at B o'clock.
The cheerleaders will be on
hand to teach any new cheers.
The band will be 'there to
arouse spirit, not to mention
the majorettes will be demon-

team will be introduced, and
some plays will be run to ac-
quaint the students with how
our team works. All students
are urged to come and support
the Scots, who have their hopes
set on a really great season.
Students need ID»s. Faculty
are invited, and all townsfolk
holding season tickets will be
admitted. Honaker Club members
are also invited.
Brochures giving a detailed
review of this year's team
will go on sale from the Hon-
aker Club in the near future.

The new academic mace and
Collepe flag were presented
and dedicated during the convo-
cation Monday night. The 30-
inch high, aluminum and cedar
mace is the symbol of Maryville
College's institutional author-
ity. The 5x8 orange and garnet
flag designed by the Traditions
Committee will fly on top of
Anderson Hall...lunder the Am-
erican flag.
Actually the best part of the
service was Dr. Spivey's talk.
If anyone vjas able to get across
what the purpose of education
is, he did it. And as con-
cerned students who are very
interested in the growing dy-
namic ism of education, we sin-
cerely question the validity of
a wooden stick that's sole pur-
pose is to be carried at the
head of formal processions.
There is one alternative, and
that is to suppose that this
Mace has the same metaphysical
attributes as the polished
slab in 2001 Space Odyssey, and
could our learninr be similar
as the ape's worship ceremony
in that same movie. But even
Dr. Spivey said that learning
is also in regressions.
Dedicated to the pursuit of
pivinp us some sort of meaninr-
ful pattern for our lives, Mar\^-
ville College berins its l50th
attempt. Whether this bid for
the liberation of our minds
will be accomplished in such
flofty ideals as the student
'handbook so beautifully puts
forth, is a commitment solely
in our control. Wliether we
choose to involve ourselves in
that nebulous concept, commu-
nity, where learning becomes a
mutual broadeninr of our intel-
lectual and emotional perspec-
tive is ontional. The total
college experience does not
iust happen. If Karyvllle Col-
lere is disappoint in r, it is
us that makes i' sc. No recr:'^.^
hop can be dull with 30r Vv^s;
neither can a football team
lack enthusiasm when the stan^^s
are packed with screaminp fajis.
It is easy to be critical, an'd
some criticism is pood God
knows Karyville is not perfect
— but the fact remains that we
are here to learn, and not all
knowledge is academic. ^..^

The Maryville College Sesqui-

opens here on Honaker Field
Saturday, September 20, at 2:30
D.m. The Scots, cominp back
after a rouph and insDirinp
year and a touph Snrinr and
Fall practice schedule, meet
HeorpetoT^m to onen what looks
IJke one of the most excitinr
years in a lonp time here at
^"^^ .in both football and other
• <' <t
areas. This year also marks
the Centennial birthday of
Football I
The Scots wound up last year's
football season with a stronp
comel)ack, showinp everyone that
the spirit to win is with the
team and with the school itself.
This spirit, if it is contin-
ued this year, should be a bir
factor in how well the season
turns out.
Commenting on the upcominfr
season Head Coach Tomlinson
had this to say: "Thinps are
lookinp up for the Karyville
Collepe Football Team. The
past four seasons have been
difficult, but they have laid
a solid foundation for the fu-
ture. The 196Q season is a new
and completely separate season
from the fine finish of last
vear. On the positive siHe,
the carry-over of team snirit
is excellent because of the
number of men returning."
This vear we bave more exoe-
rience returninr to the field
than in the past, with a stronp
proup of seniors to lead our
men in battle. Dave Garner
will be lead in r^ the offensive
attack apain for the Scots,
and a stronger line will improve
chances for more poal-to-go
action. Defensively, the Scots
will prove to be a hip threat
to any team that goes up against
them, with all-important lead-
ership coming from AP Little
All-America mention Don Hickman
and co-captain W. N. Osborne.
Among a list of standouts on
this year's roster is Larry
Johnson, who comes to us from
the University of Tennessee,

other matters to be dis-
cussed are the possibility of
an on-campus meeting place and
means of build in? up the treas-
ury.
Sigma Ku Chi was formed in
1966 when the need for such a
group was recognized, and has
since then rrovm to a member-
ship equal in size to 10.& of
the entire Karyville College
student body.
Notices have been sent to
all known married students
concerning the meeting, but it
is possible that some couples
may have been missed. It is
hoped that they will make them-
selves known and come to the
meeting (incidentally dessert
will be served).
Any questions about the group
should be directed to Chairmen
^ave and Joyce Messinger, Sec-
retaries Pete and Nancy Peter-
son, or Treasurers Joe and
Katby V/hite who invite allN.C.
married couples (and enr^ared
couples) to come and learn the
a^vantares of active member-
ship in Sigma Mu Chi.
A couple bef^inning marital
life for the first time natur-
ally have no experience in the
matter of child-rearine, ex-
cept the method used on them
by their own parents.. who were
just as inexperienced when they
bepan, and probably changed
nothing or very little in
their style over the years.
So the couple bepin raising
a family by starting with one
helpless little baby. Being
very scared at the prospect of

Where were all the students? There seemed to be more fac-
ulty than students at the reception Tuesday night. Actually
this affair is supposed to give the H.C. student a chance to
meet his professors on neutral territory, vrfiere both are
more responsive to each other's personalities. Our faculty
members are often more interesting outside the classroom, be
cause without the pressure of 40 burning eyes on them they
have a chance to relax. So we can conclude that our faculty
is human, therefore we students weren't afraid of them. V/hy
didn't we go? Could it have been because it was held too
late after Frosh orientation, and our newcomers already were
aware of the faculty? No. ^ere all 7I5 Maravillians tortur-

seem to lack the Samrauel 'Wilson special-"The Maryville Spir-

schedules a compulsory class outing on Homecoming? If a

Today's youth can tnjTy be
called the "Lost Generation."
They prew up in the insecurity
of "the Bomb" and "the Commu-
nist threat," literally a cli-
mate of war. Their parents
could hand them no "set" mor-
ality because the spread of
scientific knowledge and sci-
entific developments such as
the "pill" created breaches in
the solid wall of morality pre-
viously taught. So this gen-
eration, my generation, espec-
ially the student element, is
searching for something all
previous generations had been
handed: A structure for their
lives. They "worship" things
which have the power to mold
them, such as dope, and the
strong, virile, overpowering
beats of their music. And they
join together in a new feeling
of brotherhood to talk, dis-
cover, and form a more meaning-
ful society for themselves.
I mention the above because
these are facts which must be
kept forwanri in our minds at
all times as we try to create
what is called "the College
Community." This community is
made un ovprwhelminply of stu-
dents, and students are the
only ones who must live 2h
hours a day in it. V7e are a
student -dominated society. We
are an insular society, apart
in most things from the society
living in the town, geograph-
ically and mentally. And, most
of all, we are a questioning
society, an evolving society,
with many stages of evolution,
many speeds, and many courses'.
Questioning, questing after
something, thinking, all these
imply freedom, physically,
mentally, morally. It*s some-
thing to think about.

CHAMGES BING
Welcome to you the class of
'73. You are stepping into an
arena of change. Since we were
freshmen, we have seen much
change, but we are looking for
your energy and ideas in helping
shape our new feeling of vital-
ity and direction.
We are the class of '71 or,
more commonly known as the
"guinea pigs," It was with us
that Karyville College initia-
ted its new curriculum*
The new curriculum as ini-
tiated and modified has had
its problems to be sure, but
it seems to be working well
and other colleges have adop-
ted very similar programs. Two
of these are Wooster (Ohio)
and Alma College (Michif^an).
Although Maryville College was
not THE first, it certainly is
aoparent that it lies along
the fringe of the avant garde
in liberalizing education.
Maryville College has spear-
headed a governmental system
which is absolutely innova-
tional in concept. It, like
the new curriculum, has had
its ups and downs as evidenced
by the furor which arose last
spring over the MUCH discussed
alcohol issue. This could be
considered an issue which would
set a bad precedent with the
All College Council and its
operation. It was sad, due to
moral overtones, that this had
to be the first major issue to
confront the Council. It was
apparent by its moral implica-
tion that a great deal of time
(which might be considered an
excessive amount) was spent in
hap'fTling over minor issues, ^o
not misunderstand our position,
for we understand that in or-
der for good legislation to be
written, careful consideration
is a must. We hope that is-
sues discussed within the ACC
will not all have such emo-
tionalism involved.
It's . true, as some of you
may have heard, that Karyville
College did have demonstrations
last spring and that they cen-
tered primarily around the is-
sues of breach of confidence
and alcohol. They were peace-
ful and generally speaking,
well conducted. The primary
importance that we see in
these demonstrations is not
the fact that we, like other
colleges and universities are
experiencing campus unrest,
but that, thiiS is the first
clear evidence of the new feel-
ing which the curriculum
changes and ACC represent and
have now taken root in the
minds of the total community.
V7e hope that you as freshmen
will contribute your ideas and
vitality in continuing this
new attitude toward change.

in U.C.M.
Sunday the ibth at Vespers
the panel of Dr. Swenson, Rev.
Harrison, and Jim Daugherty
openly gave their views on iiie
human animal and the burden oP
soul-consc iousness .
The various interpretations
of life were made relevant to
the Maryville College scene,
and agreed on these points:
that we are individuals in
constant search of fulfillment
and constantly becoming; that
as a community of searchers we
share and form ideas from the
interchant-^e within the comniu-
nity; and it was recopnized
that our community is composed
of Christian, na-Tans and un-
convicted, all brothers in the
search for truth and exnression
— religion. I ask the reader
to see if he can't agree with
these presumptions.
If you ac^ree then, isn't it
odd, if not hypocritical, that
the bodv which represents the
religious congregation on cam-
pus is exclusive of probably
half of itself. By allowing
itself to be called University
Christian Movement that body
is depriving itself of many
other thinkers and do-ers
equally concerned with reli-
gion and action and is unfair-
ly restricting the comjnunity
from operating as a whole in a
religious effort.
UCM does not in practice bar
non-Christians from its com-
munion and T am not the first
non-Christian to be on the UCM
cabinet. VJhy then must we be
Christian in name and humanis-
tic in outlook and practice?
Much of the community is still
alienated by this name and re-
luctant to become involved in
communion of the relipiously
curious. Christians meekly
toot more and more about how
we are all lost and nobody has
the answers, but they cannot
join hands with the faithless
without reciting the old Creed.
The revolution in changing
its name and doctrines would
only be a matter of paper-work;
the actual revolution has al-
ready taken place. I hope the
Religious Life committee of
ACC will consider this plaint.
Note: I am not trj'ing to sug-
gest elimination of Christian
faith on campus, but am recom-
mending it to be placed in
context, as one part of a fer-
menting community that needs
the' other parts.

OUT
A concern for conservation
and an awareness of nature
drove William Swenson to the
mountain trails. With drawing
board, sketch book, colored
chalk, and non-essentials such
as food and water all neatly
stored in a back pack, Mr,
Swenson delved into what for
him was a new approach to
painting — a realistic approach.
The results of Mr, Swenson* s
outdoor work is included in
his art exhibit hanging in the
Fine Arts Center Gallery at
Maryville College durin.^r the
month of September.
Mr, Swenson sketched the na-
ture pictures with colored
chalk and came back to the
studio for the actual painting.
The exhibit includes both the
sketchinf? and the painting.
Mr. Swenson is on Sabbatical
Study Leave from Maryville
College and will leave Mary-
ville September 25 to spend
the entire year study in g
painting, drawing and art his-
tory at the School of the Arts

The Fighting Scots sliced their way to victory Saturday, cut-
ting down the Georpetovm Tigers, whose roar seemed less than
their bite. The Scots took their first game 21-7.
I^d by Quarterback Dave Gamer, who led with total offensive
yardaf^e, connecting for 7 of 10 pass attempts, the Scots
scored in the first three quarters. Freshman Randy Minor
caught two passes for two T^»s, and Rich Snyder plowed over a
massive Georgetown defense from the 1-yard line to sive the
Scots their third touchdown. Jim (The Toe) Cannon kicked for
three successful conversion atteciots.
Commenting on the game. Coach Tomlinson said that the Scots
have a lot to do in preparation for Austin. "The first one is
always a good one to win," he said. "We're going to work hard
this week." Tomlinson admits that there are some things that
need work and mistakes must be corrected, but the team looks
good this year.
Coach Tomlinson cited a few of his men for their play this
week. He named Randy Minor, Brad Beck, Dave Garr.er, John
Klein, and Dwight Reagan on Offense, and Mike Parks and Tom
Ickes on Defense. He said that these men "played exceptional-
ly well."
Georgetown scored once in the fourth quarter on a 13-yard
pass from Grant Robinson to Bob Olson. The Scot defense kept
the Tigers under control the rest of the time, intercepting
three passes and allowing only 17 completions on 14)4 pass at-
tempts by the Georgetown offense.

Here we are at that point again in the social year at KC
vihen we are given the choice of either joining one our so-
cieties, or remaining a GDI. Our societies can offer a cer
tain security of friendship which can be a valuable part of
our college experience. It seems that lately most students
have been shying away from these campus organizations because
of the lack of dynamicism in them. With more of the student
population having cars, trips to K-ville have increased. The
possibilities of having an exciting evening at Shakey's or
elsewhere where one can get smashed has had continued appeal
over the Sig and Phi sponsored dances and picnics. These e-
vents were sometimes held in the society's house, presently
of which Sig is without, and Phi might as well be. Ofcourse
the sister societies have never had a real place to go. Act-
ually, our social organizations need revamping. They nefed a
sophistication. Could that be in selectivity? Are people
tired of working for an organization that seems shoddy espe
cially when coijipared to their friends accounts of Frats? Are
the members guilty of not selling their own product? .{eally,
are they concerned with their organization's future? Could
the Freshmen bring back the zippy rivalry that once manifes-
ted itself on this campus. Tradition is tradition, and I
would like very much not to see our societies sloughed off.
But, unless we are able to give them more desirability they
will become nothing... and at that point we will have todis-
card them as hollow tradition as we discarded chapel. T^#^

Dear Editor,
I wish to complainabout some
thing that I consider a waste
of time, energy, and space, I
am, of course, referring to
the "comie strips" which appear
on the back page of the Echo
These cartoons seem to lack
huraor(however obscure), social
comment, & even rationality...
Perhaps it's that they are too
subtle for me to understand
their meaning, but I can see no
use in something that is so ob
scure that the majority of the-
Echo's readers are simply dis-
gusted and bored with it.

Dear Sirt
In lieu of the fact that I am
a student here at MC, I feel I
have an adequate claim for the
following criticism of the con
duct of many of the MC students
at CIV. I realize that it is
difficult sometimes to concen-
trate on long and abstract
speeches by some speakers, but
out of plain human respect, uc
shotild at least be quiet while
they are talking.
From personal experience in
the past, I know that if I, or
someone close to me is whisper-
ing ot talking, it is impossible
to gain arything from the pro
gram at all. I also know that
most of the students are there
because they need the credit, but
since that is the case it seems
a shame to gain absolutely noth-
ing from the time spent there.
As T sit there in CIV listeninj,
to outstanding men speak for aca
demic freedom, I wonder how they
can say such things to people
who don*t care to lister- ^ierhaps
we should realize f"^ <f.r;ponsi-
bility doesn't have with
the poor aco^is+i's in vJilsor;

the views of every other indivi-

Karyville College is dying.
The Freshman enrollment has
dropped for the past three
years. Two quads in Dorm III
are completely vacant. There
are so many empty rooms in
Dorm I and Davis Hall that ev-
ery woman living in Pearsons
could be moved to these wom-
en* s dorms, thus leaving Pear-
sons completely empty. To say
the least this community of
scholars is "hurting" and may
not exist if the present trend
continues. It is high time
(and it may be too late) for
some of the hiprher ups in the
community to take a pood look
at the present head of the Ad-
missions Office and his pol-
icies. If Maryville Colle-e
truly has something to offer
incoming students, then it
must be able to "sell itself.''
This calls for ima2:ination and
innovation in student recruit-
ing'.
We feel that if the concept
of "community" is not just a
hypocritical slogan, students
should actively push for re-
forms where they are needed.
They should, along with facul-
ty and administration be will-
ing to cut away the "dead wood"
which hinders the growth of
this institution. We ALL have
something at stake.

The Scots meet Austin College from Sherman, Texas, on H
aker Field Saturday nipht at 8. The Austin "Kangaroos" come
to Maryville with a 2«.0 record this season, having defeated
Northwood Collepre 9-7 and Southwestern 28-7. The Kangaroos
hopped over the Scots last year at Austin 28-7, marking the
first game played against the Scots*
Last year Austin ended their season with a 8-1-0 record,
ranking l6th in small-college football in the nation. Their
offensive unit returns this year intact, and Quarterback Wes
Eben is a potent weapon on the field. Another man to watch on
the Kangaroo squad is Fullback Joe Meade, These tvo men will
prove a big threat on Konaker Field.
The Scots will be working hard this week in preparation for
a tough game. They will try to correct mistakes made against
Georgetown, and will come out fighting Saturday night. This
game will prove to be one of the roughest in the line-up this
season, so the Scots will need your support. Let's get out
there for the Pep Rally and the game, 'cause we want to ring
that bell again this weekl Good Luck Scots!

Randy Minor is a Freshman on
the Fighting Scots squad this
year. Randy comes to us from
Jacksonville, Florida where he
played football for Paxon Sen-
ior High School. While at
Paxon Randy received outstand-
ing honor on the All Region
Team. This year's football
handbook lists Randy as an End,.
5' 10" and 165 pounds. In Sat-
urday's game Randy caught thiee
passes for 5l yards, and two of
these passes were for touch-
downs. The first TD pass came
in the first quarter when Dave
Garner tossed the ball to Randy
in the end-zone for 111 yards.
The second TD came in the sec-
ond quarter when Garner again
tossed to Minor, this time for
21 yards. As we all can see.
Randy handles the ball well,
and will be an important asset
to the Fighting Scot team. V/e
wish him good luck. Keep up

In last -week's article it
was illustrated that M,C. is
on the move. The question
which holds primary importance
is whether we are moving fast
enough. The big question is:
Does it seem that we are pro-
gressing in all areas of campus
life in relation to other cam-
puses around the nation, or
are we being "faked out"?
Changing ideas within our life-
time are accelerating on a na-
tional scale. Some colleges
and universities are keeping
pace with these changing ideas.
Is M. C. truly progressive in
this trend, or are o\ir "pro-
gressive" innovations merely
illusionary as compared on a
national basis?

The position of a student in
the modem college is ambig-
uous to say the least. By
coming to college, he has ad-
mitted that he lacks certain
skills and knowledge, and that
he desires instiniction in them*
These skills are formalized as
courses and presented by some-
,one who has a degree of pro-
ficiency in them. Thus arise
"courses of instruction" and
those mercenary skill -mon-
gerers, teachers (whom I can
joke about, but for whom I
have the greatest respect).
The ambiguity of the students'
position arises from this ar-
rangement, though, for where
does the line lie separating
his instructed and guided life

MUCKRAKER #3
Topic for discussion this week at MC is the conflict be-
tween our intellectuals and our athletes. More precisely
it appears that this major issue is rooted in Dorm 3. Frank-
ly, all this hobgobble is ridiculous. Frosh are Frosh— they
are experimenting, emotional creatures. Somehow in the re-
definition of values, a polarization sets in, and we end up
with 2 opposing sides. One group goes to Vespers, tEe other
goes to ball games. Automatically according to some sources
on^ group is cool, the other isn't. It is really high time
that we just try to talk to each other, and not about. The
IQ of a ball player should not automatically be relegated to
a degree higher than a bush. Likewise not all guys who have
long hair are weirdos with nothing meaningful to sajj. As for
any interpersonal relationships that involve freshmen, they
should be left to their own discretion. People must learn

Generally, the purpose of the project is to allow students

participants with the situation through direct involvement.
Plans, as presently formulated, call for the group to work

Sometime next week is the latest estimation given concerning
the opening of the new student center. Efforts are being made
to open the new facility in the first floor of Fayerweather by
Homecoming. Putting the new student center into Fayerweather
is part of a general rehabilitation of that building and is a
portion of an overall scheme which will give much of our campus
a new look in the next couple of years. To be replaced are
all of the wooden structures on campus, including the old stu-
dent center, the intramural g3nTi, and the office annex.
In addition to the new student center, the bookstore will be
put into the first floor of Fayerweather. It will occupy the
west third of the floor and will move from its present loca-
tion in the near future. The second floor will be used as it
was last year, housing Highland Echo and Chilhowean offices,
the creative activities program, and Alpha Sigma men's society.
In the future, the other three floors of Fayerweather will
probably be remodeled, and most campus organizations and ac-
tivities will be centered there. Hence, rather than just
Student Center," Fayerweather should become known as the
Campus Center,'" a center for most campus affairs.
The student center, occupying about two-thirds of the first
floor, will be greatly expanded over the present one (see the
diagram). A separate television room for nothing but undis-
turbed viewing of the tube will replace the old situation,
where the TV had to compete with the jukebox and with table
tennis players and spectators. Also, a new lounge where fac-
ulty members can relax and recover will be included. Both the
TV room and faculty lounge will be carpeted. An expanded game
room will contain a pool table for billiard enthusiasts and
three tables for ping pong. The new, larger grill will fea-
ture about a dozen private four-place booths, plus several
settees and round tables. There will be extra room for danc-
ing, and the familiar jukebox will again be present. Seating
capacity in the grill will be about eighty and it will be air-
conditioned. There will be a spacious lobby in the front of
tlie building, and throughout the floor new wall covering and
floor covering are being put in. In addition to the front en-
trance, a back door will be placed on the south side of the
building, allowing easy access to the grill.
This new student center and the "campus center" as a whole
are long-awaited additions to this campus. How true it is that
we need a new student center.

On Wednesday, October 15th,
Maryville will join colleges
and universities across the
nation in observing Vietnam
Moratorium Day. The thrust of
this movement is to create a
keen awareness of the Vietnam
chaos and to lift the veil of
passivity surrounding most of
us.
The Moratorium is an exciting
undertaking in many ways.
First, it will unite students
and faculty in a carefully co-
ordinated effort to confront
the issues. Second, the Mor-
atorium will recognize those
who have already sacrificed
their lives in a war which
proves more pointless each day.
Third, it will allow those
students convinced of a par-
ticular position, and more im-
portant, those who hold no
opinion at all, to re-examine
their stance in light of the
resource material, films, and
discussions prepared for that
day. Finally, it will under-
line the role of the univer-
sity as an active, contributing
force in society by emphasiz-
ing the critical need for com-
munity involvement.
A variety of activities has
already been scheduled for
this campus. There will be a
''CIV that morning featuring a
film and a panel of students
and faculty led by Dr. George
Edwards, seminary professor
and nationally known pacifist.
Dr. Edwards will also speak in
an afternoon session. In ad-
dition, plans are being for-
mulated for other sessions
throughout the day. These will
include workshops on the draft,
pacifism, and particular fac-
ets of the war, as well as va-
rious films. A definite agen-
da will be posted soon. The
FAR CORNER of the library con-
tains a large collection of
related pamphlets and books.
Letters have been sent to the
faculty requesting their par-
ticipation, and proposing the
following points: (1) that
classes scheduled for that day
become a forum for discussion
of the war if the students
concerned favor such action;
(2) that the teacher publicize
his intention in advance; (3)
that the CIV program be active-
ly supported; (4) that the
faculty consider gLvLpg of their

While my boss is in a corner somewhere sharpening his fangs,
I have been afforded the opportunity to come out from behind

In last week's Echo, Jim Daugherty expressed his views con-
cerning the newspaper. As associate editor, I should maintain
a strong defense for the Echo ; however, Jim's views are quite
valid. On the other hand, as an outsider to the technical
make-up of the paper, Jim is rather myopic in his viewpoint.

War epitomizes the seemingly
hopeless frustrations of man —
hate, ignorance, greed, pover-
ty, and prejudice. We, who
have any hope for the future,
must concentrate our efforts
in terminating this senseless
pastime. In promoting war, we
can only strive towards self-
destruction. By continuing
this insane passion for ven-
geance, domination, and expan-
sion, how can it ever b^
thought that the agonies of
man will cease?
From his very beginning, man
has determined a society which
could only build upon hate.

the ability to catch the ball

led the team in receptions,
and will be looked upon this
season as one of the quarter-
backs' favorite targets. Not

Homecoming game. The Wasps
will be out to try to break a
four-e^ame losing streak that

ord this season. So far they
have lost to Georgetown 21-13,
Appalachian I4I-O, Carson-Newman

Last year the Wasps beat the
Scots 50-21 at Honaker field,
where fans saw Quarterback
Sonny Wade play a fantastic
game all afternoon. "Last sea-
son," says the 1969 B^-H foot-
ball handbook, "the Wasps had
a 9-1 season record and ranked
11th in the nation in small
college circles. In 1969, the
Wasps have to pay the price
for this success.... Gone are
such stars as Sonny Wade, Larry
Bales, Jewell Rhea, Fred Selfe,
and Donnie Pruitt. In all,
K ^.- H lost Hi lettermen to

2\\ returning lettermen to work

that their defensive unit will
be the strongest factor in
this year*s season.

the Patrick Henry High School
in Emory, Virginia. Those go-
ing to the game can take the
Meadow View and Emory exit off

Student (junior) Wal^ Barker
and Admissions Director Col.
Wni. Taylor sparked serious dis-
cussion on the Problems d Stu-
dent Recruitment during FORUM
last Thursday at 6:15 p.m. by
Chapel steps. In the opening
speech, co-authored by Lynn
Coburn, Wally called imperative
an "imaginative, innovational
recruitment program." The
diminishing Maryville enroll-
ment of the past three years
indicates, he claimed, a pre-
sently ineffective recruitment
j program. Citing enrollment
figures, costs, and the curri-
cular set-up of five institu-
tions competitive with MC in
football, Wally argued that
■>1p's recent fee increase, its
present lack of both the PE
and the Speech major, and its
image as a "hard college" in
•this region are all negligible
factors. That the Mar5rville
education is worth the "small
college problems" should per-
suade 300 freshmen yearly to
come and to stay; the Admis-
sions Office, Wally declared,
must sell this bold goal, and
must above all synchronize it-
self to College innovations.
This college, concluded Wally,
needs not only a convincing
policy on Admissions, but also
should employ new methods that
emphasize student-to -student
promotion.
Col. Taylor then vigorously
affirmed the necessity of
broadly-based student support
in recruitment efforts. Attrib-
uting declining enrollment in
large part to the smallness of
his staff and to lack of gen-
eral student support, he
pointed to an increase in en-
rollment during his fist three
years of service, then stated
that a decline in three sub-
sequent years has not been pe-
culiar to MC, but reflects
national trends. The small
college cannot compete finan-
cially with state universities
he said. Furthermore, prospec-
tive students in Big Orange
Country seem attracted to the
J glamor of UT; the Admissions
Director asserted that of 477
^applications received last
year, 387 met MC requirements,
41 met conditional acceptance,
and only 222 of the total ac-
cepted actually came to Mary-
ville. In a4dition, he had
reiterated the contention of
MC^s formidable image in this
area and spoken for the resto-
ration of the majors in PE and
in Speech.
Moderator Brad Sheafnocker
opened the floor to questions
and comments of either a gen-
eral nature or directed to a
speaker. Responding to a query
about MC's church affiliation.
Col. Taylor suggested that be-
ing church-related both helps
and hinders. Asked about our
local "image," FORUM partici-
pants agreed that an ultra-
conservative attitude domin-
ates. Discussion extended out
on the subject of visiting area
high schools; Mr. Armstrong,
an Admissions Counselor pres-
ent, testified that of hundreds
of schools canvassed, those in
this vicinity prove least en-
couraging. There were persis-
tent questions about allegedly
uninteresting brochures and
inaccurate bulletins being
used to promote Maryville Col-
lege.
Col. Taylor and then Wally
Barker each utilized the three
minute rebuttal time allotted
at the end of the FORUM period
(6:15-7:00 p.m.) to affirm
student potential as recruiter
and to call for the personal
engagement of all those con-
cerned.
Termination of discussion
was favored, and the Moderator
motioned the referees to ring
the FORUM Gong for ad j ournment .
The next FORUM issue is sched-
uled to be presented Thursday
at 6:15 p.m.; the following
one will assemble Tuesday, Oc-
tober 14.
Anyone wishing to assist in
successive FORUM presentations
and anyone with suggestions
for issues is urged to see

The possibilities for personal maintenance and self-control
' on our campus do not exactly promote a feeling of trust or
responsibility on the part of the individual student. The ob-
vious over-concern on the part of administrative officials is
fine for the college handbook; but, in reality it leaves the
student with little personal freedom or privacy. Most members
of our student body find themselves released from parental
control after their arrival upon campus. Little do they re-
alize that they have alighted within the jurisdiction of an
organization that in many ways can be injurious to the develop-
ment of a sound responsible character. Personal privacy and
the freedom that coincides with it are blatantly denied within
the confines of our (community?) social structure. The respect
accorded to the average citizen in his living quarters is jeo-
pardized by the existing restrictions and regulations with
which the students are expected to cope. Over-protection
breeds fundamental insecurity which is already an integral
part of our average under-graduate' s daily function. Reliance
upon group solidarity has conmianded much too large a part in
the lives of many of our constituents. This dependence upon
false supporting structure is a direct result of the lack of
freedom on the part of the individual. The time for the loos-
ening of reins and the allowing of students to determine their
own priorities has long since passed and our college should
afford the students those rights which are obviously denied
them.

The forum of October 28,
1969, was moderated by Steve
Horning. The topic was con-
cerned with the proposal of
dorm visitation. Supporting
the proposal of dorm visita-
tion was Nancy Heatwole; pre-
senting the critical analysis
was Mary Sue Harris.
Concerning the proposal,
Nancy gave its description as
"a direct outgrowth of a desire
for change in present rules.
This desire was based on a
questionnaire presented to
resident students of M.C. 91%
of all returned questionnaires
advocated change. 8% did not
want a change. Of the 495
questionnaires returned, 266
were women and 219 were men.
Reasons for the proposal
included a summary of the fol-
lowing points: (1) an escort
system, (2) guest register
and (3) hours of visitation.
These hours are Sunday through
Thursday 2 a.m. - 9 p.m. and
Friday and Saturday 2 p.m.
to 1 a.m. A clause of tl'-
proposal states that individ-
ual dorms have the prerogative
of changing the hours within
these limits.
Opposition to the proposal
was presented by Mary Sue.
Her main points included the
lack of student responsibility
and the nuisance of boys in
the dorms to other residents.
Additional nuisances included
the increase of noise, the
lack of privacy, the necessity
of dress and personal appear-
ance, ana tne necessity ot
locking doors. (Some doors
in Lloyd don't lock!)
Steve Horning opened the
session for questions.
A few of the questions
raised included what the pos-
sible effects of this venture
could be concerning the finan-
cial state of the college.
The rebuttal was that endow-
ments and financial pledges
possibly might be reconsidered.

The United States Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals re-
cently upheld the conviction
of 11 people found guilty of
burning and bloodying draft
files in Baltimore. They had
claimed their actions were mo-
rally justified.
Chief Judge Clement F. Hayns-
worth, Jr., and Judge Harrison
E. Winter concurred with the
opinion of Judge Simon E. So-
beloff. The final section of
the opinion is reprinted be-
low:
"As an undercurrent through-
out the trial and interwoven
with appellants' assertions of
error is an appeal to morality
as justification for their
conduct. The argument consists
of two closely related strands.
They argue that the motivation
for their action was moral in
the sense that they intended
to protest a war which is out-
rageous to their individual '
standards of humanity. There-
fore, their actions are said
to be not punishable regard-
less of the literal violation
of a statute.
"Moreover, appellants argue ■
that, apart from their motiva-
tion, which is subjective, the
war in Vietnam is in fact il-
legal and immoral and hen ce
their acts in protest of this
war were themselves moral acts
for which they must be simil-
arly immunized from punishment.
In effect, the appellants fo-
cus upon the means by which an
organized society treats those
citizens who choose to commit
an act of civil disobedience
in the name of justice.
"From the earliest times
when man chose to guide his
relations with fellow men by
allegiance to the rule of law
rather than force, he has been
faced with the problem how
best to deal with the individ-
ual in society who, through
moral conviction, concluded
that a law with which he was
confronted was unjust and
therefore must not be followed.
"Faced with the stark re-
ality of injustice, men of
sensitive conscience and great
intellect have sometimes found

What about co-ed dorms?
Why not? Why not tkke a new
Dorm, for example, and, as a
starter, make half the build-
ing available to female occu-
pants, half to male? Because
people in general aren't ready
to have a girl living with or
right next to a boy, we could
split the dorm down the middle,
with the back side boys, the
front side girls (we must split
it along the stair-line because
people, again, are not ready
to accept a boy in one shower
stall, a girl in the next, or
maybe both together.) It is
by far the most economical way
to run dorms, for by moving
people where space is availa-
ble, regardless of sex, you
even out the population distri-
bution and only use those
floors and building which will
be full, thus cutting down on
wear and on equipment.
.But the major advantages
of co-ed dorms, as I see it,
are first, the breaking down
of the artificiality of segre-
gated dorms. When I'm at home,
I life in close proximity to
women, and if I ever live in
an apartment house I'll do the
same. If I get married I will
undoubtedly live with my wife
because I'll probably like her,
if for no other reason. When
you get right down to it, this
is the only time in most peo-
ple's lives, barring military
service, when there is a strict
segregation along sexual lines.
By having girls and boys mixed,,
it would improve the boys in
many ways. They would probably
desist from raising so much
hell. The women would be a
maturing influence. The boys
would also get to know more
girls in a more casual atmos-
phere. They would probably
know more girls, and know them
as individuals. Promiscuity I
believe would not increase, for
knowing the girls as a neighbor
has fewer sexual overtones than
the artificial institution
known as "dating," which mir-
rors in a minor way the "natu-
ral" pairing and mating order.
I am not going to be so naive
(or unimaginative) as to say
that no one will take advantage
of the situation. Possibly,
for health reasons, this might
be an advantage, because I've
been told that those woods,
fields, and cars get mighty
cold at night, and that re-
sults in many colds and snif-
fles.
I do think that now that
open hours are really being
seriously discussed, the next
move must obviously be toward
co-ed dorms. The old bug-a-
boos about mixing boys and
girls in this manner, I be-
lieve, just do not hold. We
are talking about a generation
which is trying to destroy
artificiality. To me, very
few things are more artificial
than segregated dorms. Remem-
ber, when God created the
Heavens and the Earth, and the
beasts and flowers, and Adam
and Eve, he did not create a
boys dorm and a girls dorm.

inevitably into conflict with
established authority and its
laws,
"Among philosophers and re-
ligionists throughout the ages
there has been an incessant
stream of discussion as to
when, if at all, civil diso-
bedience, whether by passive
refusal to obey a law or by
its active breach, is morally
justified. However, they have
been in general agreement that
while in restricted circum-
stances a morally motivated
act contrary to law may be
ethically justified, the ac-
tion must be nonviolent and
the actor must accept the pen-
alty for his action,
"In other words, it is com-
monly conceded that the exer-
cise of a moral judgment based
upon individual standards does
not carry with it legal justi-
fication or immunity from pun-
ishment for breach of the law.
"The defendants' motivation
in the instant case — the fact
that they engaged in a protest
in the sincere belief that
they were breaking the law in
a good cause — cannot be accep-
table legal defense or justi-
fication. Their sincerity is
beyond question. It implies
no disparagement of their ide-
alism to say that society will
not tolerate the means they
chose to register their oppo-
sition to the war. A thing of beauty; did you ever stop and notice the "things"

front of the bookstore? Someone has walled this tree in, and
it has stood its lonely vigil perhaps as many years as has the
College itself.
Have you ever stopped and wondered how many changes at Mary-

has listened to both conservative and liberal ideas, to rad-
ical and foolish propositions, to sincere individuals and
those who gaily don't care — and it opened its branches to them
all. It absorbed the enormous variety of man's thoughts and
dreams, and stood firm to ponder their differences. It has

SCOTS liwlM
Rain and chill limited the
crowd Saturday, but a few
hearty fans weathered the cli-
mate to see the Scots win over
the Centre Colonels 6-0. Jim
Cannon booted two field goals
to give the Scots their third
victory and even up the record
3-3. The Scot victory set the
Colonels back with their second
defeat, privong that champions
lose, too.
The Scots dominated the en-
tire game, allowing the Colo-
nels only 5 first downs and
109 yards in total offense.
Coach Tomlinson said that the
team showed "real good effort"
and pla^^ed a "well executed
football game." It was thi:
first shut-out for the Scots
since 1967 when a Millsaps
game ended in 0-0 tie.
Phil Ziglar and John Weston
excelled in defense for the
Scots, and Dave Garner led his
offensive unit well throughout
the game. Cannon got his field
goals in the opening period
and in the third quarter, kick-
ing for 40 and 37 yards re-
spectively. Two other attempts
failed. The Centre defense
grabbed three passes and a fum-
ble to stop Scot scoring
threats, nabbing two of the
passes in their own end zone.
The Scots' defense was excep-
tionally tough throughout the
game.

The question of present rules
was asked by several people and
followed by the question of
future rules. The answers
given explained the lack of
set rules now and in the future
as a result of the emphasis
placed on the individual. The
question of rules was considered
important due to, foreseeable
concern of the All-College
for this proposal.
Some additional benefits
from the visitation were the
rise in demands on the individ-
ual for his conduct. Also, his
living standards and concern
for others, were mentioned.
Again, the idea of lack of
privacy was questioned.
The Forum closed on the idea
of loss of endowments, funds,
and students due to the change
in image of the school.
The Happenings, one of the most remarkable rock vocal groups"
"with one of the most sophisticated acts in show business, will
be appearing on the Maryville College campus Saturday, Oct. 18
at 9:00 p.m. in Wilson Chapel. Tickets are available at the
Maryville College Ticket Office. Admission will be $3.50 per
person, $1.00 to M.C. students with I.D. cards.
This group has had several smash hit records, three of them
million sellers: "I Got Rhythm," "My Mammy," and "See You In
September," all on Jubilee Records. They have played the col-
lege circuit from New Mexico to Newfoundland and are one o f
handful of contemporary pop groups to play the gilded circuit
— the Eden Rock in Miami, the Flamingo in Las Vegas, and the
Shoreham in Washington, D.C. THE HAPPENINGS have been guests
on the Johnny Carson "Tonight" show also, and they have
brought American pop music to receptive audiences in Italy and
Brazil.
The group is made up of David Libert, Bernie La Porta, Mike
LaNeve (newest member of the group). Bob Miranda, who is lead
singer, and Tom Giuliano, who all look good under a spotlight.
SWANK magazine gave them this review: "A remarkable rock
vocal group with one of the most sophisticated acts in show
business, THE HAPPENINGS combine an advanced sense of satire
with Borchtbelt audience savvy. No other contemporary pop
quintet would have the gall to open their stage act with 'It's
a Grand Night for Singing' and close with 'Exodus,' dropping
bombs in between with takeoff s on holy rock cows."
How did this group get together? Originally they were known
as the FOUR GRADUATES (they all went to high school in Pater-
son, N.J.), the then quartet got solid stage grounding in a
summer of Catskill resort tours "where you have to give a good
show or you'll never be able to look a swizzle stick in the
face again." Legend has it that Miranda once wore a red jack-
et to a performance and during the Intermission a tipsy cus-
tomer pressed a five dollar bill into his hand and said,
"Waiter, do me a favor — dance with my cousin." It was during
their Catskill tour of duty that they developed their fine
sense of comedy. After three months of pleasing tough audi-
ences and winning them over, the boys decided to head for a
recording studio — and to change their professional name.

This year's Homecoming Foot-
ball game will be played at
2:30, Saturday, October 18, at
Honaker Field. The Fighting
Scots will host the Randolph-
Macon Yellow Jackets in what
could be one of the toughest
on the Scot schedule this sea-
son.
Last year the Yellow Jackets
wiped out the Scots 50-0. "In
1969 Coach Ted Keller's Yellow
Jackets compiled the first un-
defeated, untied record in the
college's history. The Yellow
Jackets unveiled the most ex-
plosive, most dangerous, most
productive offense in the col-
lege's history. The 1969 of-
fense should be just as explo-
sive, though small."
The team has 23 lettermen
returning. Coach Keller ad-
mits that the team will be de-
pending heavily "on an experi-
enced defensive seven-man front
and an explosive, wide open
offense." The Yellow Jackets
have lost 17 lettermen and 12
starters. The entire defen-
sive backfield is gone. They
had played together for four
years .
Last year the Jackets had a
9-0-0 record and were the
Mason-Dixon Champions and Vir-
ginia Small College Champions.
This year they are 2-0-1, and
are looking for a "winning
season with a shot at the
Mason-Dixon Championship."
It should be quite a game.

Maryville College Playhouse
will begin its 1969-70 season
on Wednesday, October 15, with
a folk-rock musical, "ONCE
UPON A GREENER HILL," made up
of a cast of alumni and stu-
dents and written and composed
by Mr. Paul Crabtree, director
of "TENNESSEE U.S.A." This
special sesquicentennial mu-
sical pictures the history of
Maryville College in song and
spoof, with . some excellent
dancing and Maryville philos-
ophy rounding it out into a
homecoming for

It was interesting to see
how U.C.M. manipulated M-day
from a day of consideration of
the Vietnamese involvement in-
to a day of abject pacifism.
Anticipating some historicity
from the C.I.V. panel, we re-
ceived emotion instead. Our
entanglement in Asia was not
sufficiently explained away by
the blanket statement that we
were grossly wrong to be there.
We all want the war to end;
the question is how? We are
not all agreed to the myth "my
country right or wrong," rep-
resented by the various victo-
ry stickers and flag decals
plastered on buildings all
over campus; nor do we advo-
cate the pacifist propaganda
presented in C.I.V. As I
watched the NBC coverage of
the Moratorium, Wednesday
night, I could not help but
feel that we prostituted the
whole meaning of October 15,
1969, in an outburst of emo-
tion.

Newly named, THE HAPPENINGS went into the recording studio
and cut "See You In September," which went to number one and
sold over a million copies. They followed up with "Go Away
Little Girl," "I Got Rhythm," "My Mammy," and the recent
"Where Do I Go/Be-In" from the musical "Hair."
THE HAPPENINGS are one of the very few pop groups who are
actively trying to change what they think is wrong with the
life around them. They have become sponsors of an American
Indian boy under the Save the Children Foundation, helping to
provide for the boy's education and medical needs. When asked
about this, one of the group, Bernie La Porta, said: "Protest
songs are all right but it's too easy to sing about something
and n^t do anything about it. We figure that we're THE HAP-
PENINGS but we're also Dave, Tom, Mike and Bernie. If you
want to change something, how long are you supposed to wait?
You can sing and make changes at the same time."

throughout the entire game
the Scots were defeated by
Emory and Henry College Satur-
day, 14-3. The game, played
at the Patrick Henry High
School, marked the E&H Home-
coming festivities.
Emory, in possession of the!
ball for the second time in
the first quarter, took the
ball from the Maryville 49 |
yard line in eight plays to
score their first TD, The

but they were unable to cash
in on it, and the first quar-
ter ended.
In the second quarter Butler
intercepted an Emory pass, and
the Scots drove to the Wasps'
4-yard line, where they were
held. The Scots were able to
■t
keep the play in Emory tei:ri-
tory, thus enabling Jim Cannon
to boot a 22-yard field goal.
The half came, and the score
|was 7-3, with the Scots trail-
ing.
After a half-time perform-
lance by the Highlander Band
and the Homecoming Queen in-
troduction, the play resumed.
Emory recovered a Scot fumble,
but a field goal attempt
failed. Neither team moved too
well in the third quarter, and
the quarter remained scoreless.
With Costner and Green trying
to move the ball during the
fourth quarter, Emory held the
Scots and drove deep into the
Scots' territory, scoring a-
gain after going 55 yards in
13 plays. The kick after was
good. With almost 6 minutes
left in the game the Scots
Iwere unable to move, and the
final score was 14-3. The loss

Last year Tom started in the
last four ball games as back-
side linebacker, and he is ex-
pected to continue in this
spot this year. In the last
three games Ickes intercepted
five passes, and showed his
ability to stop the run plays.
Despite his lack of great size
Tom is a good tackier and is
hard to block. Ickes has a
lot of hustle, and according
to the football handbook, he
could turn out to be one of
the best at his position in a
long time. We will be seeing
a lot of action from Ickes, and
we wish him the best of luck
in all the ball games.

Learning is discovery in its
broadest sense, declared Dr.
Shields as he addressed some
sixty persons at FORUM last
Thursday. Dr. Shields drew
heavily on the Hazelton Report
to develop his contention that
the student and not curriculum
should be the main concern of
the educational institution.
That institution's passion to
train and develop the human
intellect must only balance
its profound, if unwitting in-
fluence on student personality
and social development. Dis-
covery, he said, should be re-
covered as the central feature
of higher education; the stu-
dent, he concluded, should e-
ventually discover his own
curriculum.
Dr. Lewis immediately re-
sponded with criticism of the
Hazelton Report, which had
been drafted by students and
psychologists whose authority
is, he asserted, questionable.
Favoring a historical analogy,
Dr. Lewis pointed out that
Harvard threw out in 1909 its
elective curricula principle
in effect since 1870 because
administrators had found, he
said, that "Harvard men were
not as principled or intellec-
tual as they ought to be."
Such an experiment had been,
he concluded, an instance o£
detrimental overprofessional-
ism.
In the flurry of questions
that followed, some chargedlspirits.
On behalf of the Highland
Echo and all involved I would
like to welcome all alumni
with open student center.
Maybe I will.
Speaking of Homecoming, I
was picking some dead skin off
of the little toe on my left
foot just now, thinking about
why it chose THIS particular
time to die. And then I
thought maybe it does that ev-
ery year at Homecoming. The
skin on the feet, of course,
is, (especially, (since we
walk on them,) at the bottom
most part) VERY TOUGH and Par-
ticularly Hard to Feel Off.
But still dead. It's startling
to realize that one has start-
ed to die already, so young.
Even more so since it's from
the bottom up. Most people
die from the top down, you
know. Hair falls out, teeth
fall out, and all that. Much
more comforting that way, too,
cause along with everything
else up there, your brain dies
so you don't have to think a-
>bout it .
Anyway, it's Homecoming sea-

STORY dF
S.fiT.-isM
This is a continuing story
of a land of division. Only
the names have been changed to
protect the author. (Back-
ground reading: the statement
of purpose of our college.)
In a land and time far away
from here, we again return.
(For I would much rather think
of other's problems than my
own.) Bordering M.O.R.F.-land
on the south we find another
community with another situa-
tion. S.A.T.-land was its
name. It was populated by an-
other religious sect of young
people who called themselves
"Seekers After Truth" or
S.A.T.' for short. The
S.A.T.'s believed that all
young people of their religion
were born to seek truth.
You see long ago for SATis m
the definition of truth had
been set down on tablets of
stone in the form of a huge
triptic.
Thus this definition of
truth was referred to as "The
Rule of Three." Its inscrip-
tion read: "1. Truth will be
unto you as a lamp in darkness
and a map for the lost. 2.
Truth is like the earth on
which you walk... it is one.
3. Truth is like a puzzle to
be assembled by many."
So you see the SATist reli-
gion was a geographical one.
Each young SAT set out to
chart a portion of their land
which would later be put to-
gether with others in the
"Sacred Hall" of "The Rule of
Three." Finally, the task was
finished and all the maps were
assembled into a huge map in
the holy temple. Suddenly, a
blinding light shone forth
from the holy triptic and the
earth shookl The writing on
the triptic seemed to be
changing I While all the
SAT's watched in awe, they
I read the new lettering: "Well.
Now you know where you are I"
it read. ,
Some say that, strangely e-
nough, many SAT's converted to
MORF ism that day. . .
The moral to my fantasy could
be: Don't SAT under the Rule
of Three with any one else but
me. Or more likely, it could
also be: Seeking truth is like
seeking happiness. To seek
the second is to admit we are
unhappy. To seek the first;
to admit we are liars.

This Sunday we are having
something unusual on campus. I
don't know if anyone has told
you about it or not.
Dr. Harter has somehow gotten
the Old Harp Singers of Knox
County, Sevier County, and
Blount County to hold a 'sing'
here. I have always wanted to
hear them... it is evidently the
vestigial remains of an early
form of community sing started
a hundred years or more ago
when singing masters went a-
round the country holding these
things. It should be interest-
ing to a lot of people... it is
very informal.
They will start at 1:30 and
go until they stop. People are
welcome to come and go as they
please. .. listen and/or take
pa|»t. They are called the East
Tennessee Old Harp Singers.
Dr. Harter would have any more
information you might want...
but I think this about does
it.... oh yes, they will do this
in the back lobby of the Ciia-
pel.

In the Maryville College
Bulletin is a section called
"Purpose and Objectives." It
starts off describing the ali-
enation and frustration of
20th century man, and then in
a huge leap of faith solves
modern man's problems through
dedication to the Christian
faith. In the second para-
graph, Maryville College urges
us to love Jesus. And in the
next paragraph we read that
the M.C. faculty is dedicated
to the Christian commitment.
A prospective student would
feel as if he were binding
himself to an institution of
Presbyterian zealots. What a
trauma the new student experi-
ences when he gets to M.C. and
discovers that his colleagues
are not religious ascetics but
actually indulge in all sorts
of Christian - labeled vices,
such as drinking, sex, and now
even dope, with some relish;
and that religious feelings
are left mainly in the cata-
logue. I wonder if it would
behoove the administration to
rewrite the Bulletin and put
it in perspective with the
people presently on campus; or
are they in sympathy with the
secular and only keep this re-
ligiosity to hoodwink parents
into thinking their daughter
is safer at M. C. than at a
state school?

Dear Editor:
The purpose of this letter
is to have published several
criticisms of some conditions
presently existing on Mary-
ville campus. They are prob-
lems now confronting all fresh-
men taking the Science Thought
and Philosophy 101 courses.
The most serious of the two
is the one of the grading sys-
tem now in use for major re-
search papers in the Science
Thought course. Six professors
teach the course and the six
individual teachers grade
these papers, one teacher for
one set of papers. This sys-
tem leads to a conflicting
grading scale and style of
correcting, and allows for
personal prejudices (although
I won't claim any at this
time) . Maryville is a more
progressive education system
than this shows. I would like
to submit that, for at least
major papers, grading should
be done on a collective basis.
Two or more teachers shou 1 d
read each paper, writing notes
on a separate paper, and then
averaging the grades thereby
benefitting the student with
more than one viewpoint. This
is more time-consuming, but it
creates an equal basis for
class competition, which is
very important in the existing
system.
These are my criticisms.
The situation could have been
handled in an adult manner in
the first place, had the par-
tie^ involved been asked, from
the posium, to leave. Granting
human fallacy on one side, and
immaturity on the other, it,
nevertheless, seems *that there
is a solution which would not
visibly denote group "punish-

The use of this term
will probably be argued by the
faculty involved, but the ac-
tion taken was and is a direct
result of an earlier violation
or, at least, appears to be
(and has not been denied) , and
therefore, agrees with Web-

explained to me that the ac-

My next criticism involves
the manner in which the recent
"insurrection" during a Phil-
osophy lecture jas and is be-
ing handled. The disruption
occurred when four or five pu-
pils were talking in the rear
of the auditorium, and one pu-
pil, in another situation, re-
fused to return his feet to
the floor, and was finally
asked, by a class assistc-nt,
to leave. Yours truly was at
this lecture, and did not even
have any notion that said "in-
surrection" had occurred. Due
to this unhappy situation,
freshmen at future lectures
are forced to sit in rows, ac-
cording to class, and, in some
cases, are separated by a seat;
but in most cases, urged on by
one faculty member, has not
been strictly enforced. The
disturbance occurred in only
one of the two lectures, but
both classes must abide by the
new rule. Another justifica-
tion for this action was given
that approximately sixty stu-
dents were missing from the
lectures, but our right to
skip class and to flunk was
explained to us at the begin-
ning of the term. I have con-
fronted the involved faculty
members with the following
criticisms, and, in two out of
three cases, received some-
thing of a compromising atti-
tude in that an intelligent
discussion took place, but in
one case, and a rather impor-
tant one in this situation,
the argument received was
rhetorical, sarcastic, disre-
spectful, and very typical of
a type used in grade school.
This is all well and good, but
the same result can be brought
about in a much more adult
manner, unless the faculty
does not deny, as it already
has, that this measure is
meant to point out lack of ma-
turity in the freshman class
and embarrass the violators.
Be assured that the action
perpetrated against the fresh-
man class is indeed an' insult
to our pride, but even more
ironically, to the very ideal
of coping with one's problems
in a mature manner.
I appeal to the freshman
class not to take these obvi-
ous deficiencies in your edu-
cation with the complacency so
far exhibited. We are college
students now, and we do have
the right to be treated with
equal fairness anc respect.
There will be two petitions,
one for each of these cases,
in the post office today.
Voice your opinion and sign

A student living on campus
pays $400.00 for a room. This
is, of course, much cheaper
than living in a motel, maybe
even cheaper than living, com-
munal fashion, in an apartment.
Still, I would like to raise
this question: What are we
getting for $400? I shouldn't
gripe this year, since I live
in one of those citadels of
luxury — a new dorm. But the
memories of my room last year
still haunt me, so I'll take
you on a tour of it as it was
when I arrived in September,
1968.
After fitting the key in the
lock (I found out later that
two turns on the door-knob
would unlock it faster) , I op-
ened the door of my future
abode, and great feelings
overcame me — nausea I The cat-
alog is technically right when
it states that "All residence
hall rooms contain wardrobes,
single beds and mattresses,
desks with built-in bookcases,
chairs, and dressers." By
wardrobes, I presume they mean
the two rudimentary closets in
the wall. My bed was unique.
It was swaybackl I slept for
half the year on that unpleas-
ant machine before a better
bed was free. No amount of
cardboard under the mattress
(stuffed with what? I've al-
ways v7ondered, but been afraid
to look) could straighten it,
or make the mattress firm. The
desk is one of those things
with book-case ends, and only
one drawer. The ends can just
about hold one term's books
and maybe some extra paper.
The drawer is in the center,
and is not deep enough to be
of much use. My desk also had
a warped topV'meaning it could
not very easily be written
upon, which is an essential
duty of such a contrivance.
The chair was a refugee from
the library with one of the
rubber leg-cups missing, mak-
ing it rather tipsy. I cured
it with a pad of electrician's
tape. My dresser was small
but ok, after I borrowed a
drawer to replace the one that
was missing. Lighting is ba-
sic, just as the rest of the
room. It consists of one bare
bright bulb with no shade or
diffuser under it, in a ceil-
ing plug. This last is what
really got me mad. This room
was supposedly the place where
a student would spend up to 45
hours a week studying, but the
lighting was so poor that he
gets eyestrain after the first
hour.
Now that I have all that off
my chest, let me recommend
some things that ought to be
done. First, provide better
lighting; a desk lamp or floor
lamp would be fine. Second,
get better chairs, cnes that
are comfortable, such as the
ones in the new dorms. Third,
provide desks with drawers
for those that would prefer
them. Fourth, provide free-
standing bookcases for stu-
dents who request them. Fifth,
get rid of all those beds
v/hich date from Isaac Ander-
son's era and replace them
with ones which are at least
Spartanly comfortable.
Many more things could prob-
ably be said, but the above
should be enough to keep people
busy for awhile. I think it
is only fair to raise the
quality of the room-furnishings
up to the minimal standards of
a civilized man, or else men-
tion in the catalog, "We rec-
ommend that a student bring
along approximately $50^^ to
make these rooms livable."

A late surge by the Scots
failed to take back the lead
from the strong Randolph-Macon
Yellow Jackets here Saturday
as the Jackets took the game
17-14. It was the Jackets
16th straight victory.
In the fourth quarter Bob
Macy deflected a pass into the
hands of W. N. Osborne who ran
the ball 43 yards for a TD.
Joe Costner ran 10 yards for
the second Scot score. Jim
Cannon booted both extra
points. Late in the fourth
quarter a penalty foiled the
Scots' hopes of winning the
game as the Scots pushed to
the R-M 20 yard line.

it, each block a banquet. No wonder everyone seems just a bit
fat.
These people are comforted and made secure by signs and sym-
bols. Nearly every window of every car is tattooed with flag
decals. Approximately half the dashboards shelve a saintly
line of madonnas and travel patrons, tilting a plastic arm in
blessing towards the steering wheel. The car owners, by the
way, drive as if heaven-bent for oblivion. Many auto and house
windows bear the Star of David and an American flag closeby—
may no one take offense! Bumper stickers are also talismans;
one earnestly petitions the Pope to re-invest St. Patrick with
Sainthood; others, less mystical, affirm the ovmers' reverence
for the police department. A car boldly certain of its place
in the scheme of things snarls "America: Love it or Laave it I"
while four feet away the same owner has erected a yard-high St.
Francis, eveine the sky in plaster piety. His bemused expres-
sion makes me wonder if he's quite decided which course of ac- |
tion would be most in character. |
By such signs and symbols, the adults of Flatbush order the |
world. The children, even the very youngest, have a different!
code. Wherever young people gather, and as in all villages, |
they gather often, they, have drawn the circular peace symbol in
chalk, spray paint, the rust on girders — everywhere, especial^
on the filmy cataract of vacant shop windows. Do these inno-
cents so burn in agony over the fact of war that they feel com-
pelled to take a stand on every smooth, accessible surface? I
doubt it. (Some convert the symbol to a conventional heart and
fill it with pairs of friendly initials.) It's simply their]
way of marking the territory of youth. The circled, stylized
dove ascending has apparently replaced the traditional four
letter word (one sees it so rarely; Holden Caufield would be
relieved) as the graffito of initiation. I am aesthetically
pleased bv this transference and philosophically flattered, i
but I do not delude myself that it signals the age of Aquarius.
School has just begun here. Most children attend a vast
Catholic school nearby, determinedly rumpling their stiff, new
uniforms on the short walk, while an army of nuns, determined-
ly neat, determinedly tolerant of the assertively kosher delis
in their path, march from the convent to the school. After
school, the boys play football; after school, the girls play-
school. One girl, the assured arrogance of a future teacher
peeking through the baby fat, conducts her friends in re-
enacting today's class with Sister Cecilia. Tongue between her
teeth, she scrawls on a small blackboard a catechism: 1) What
is God? 2) What does he ask of us? 3) How do we get knowledge
of Him? Awed and irritated by how easily a seven-year-old can
write the questions, I wonder if she shall ever realize the
difficulty of answers. With a burst of fellow-feeling, fitting
for a village, I hope she never does and flash my best smile.
They smile back; they always do. These are the most vivid,
vital, at east and unencumbered children I've ever seen.
Two blocks away is the subway, across a high pedestrian
bridge literate with peace symbols, weathered tributes to et-
ernal love (one can trace the romantic evolution of a certain
Rory through several girlfriends), admonitions to dump Lindsay
(the most vehement of which always leave the ''a" out of his
name) and claims that this is "Tesior's Turf" and "Property of
the East 4th St. Boys." Having read about New York gangwars, I
shivered in my bellbottoms (regulation New York attire — I'm
sure there are babies here in bellbottom diapers) but soon
learned the labels refer only to the noisy mobs who play ball
from dinner to dusk on my street. They do so, by the way, with
a cleanliness of language that is amazing, largely because any
vocal indiscretion brings an angry assortment of mothers to the
open windows.
Anyhow, two blocks away is the subway which rumbles, roars,
and shortly surfaces in one of Brooklyn's ugliefet areas. A
hundred feet above the street, the train literally slows — the
great Manhattan skyline shimmers in view. Flatbush and THE
CITY pause in confrontation. This noisy tasteless tangle of
life for which I feel such early and surprising affection
weighs against the twilight skyline where the late, harbor-
dipping sun whitens the gray towers and gilds every distant
window like a dream of diamonds. And I am very happy to be
here — in my neighborhood. Drop in sometime. 42 East 4th Street.

The Budaya Troupe from Indo-
nesia, consisting of 16 dancers, musicians,
and a puppeteer from Bali, Java and
Sunda, will perform Thursday, Nov. 20,
at 8:15 p.m. in Wilson Chapel on the
Maryville College campus.
Asia has no richer cultural tradition
than Indonesia's. The grace and intricacy
of Javanese dance, the spellbinding music
of the gamelan orchestra, the rich and
exotic tradition of shadow puppets and
live actors with masks and painted faces
are distinctly Indonesian~and fantastical-
ly appealing to both those who already
know Indonesia's performing arts and to
those who have never seen them before.
hor many years Indonesia did not
allow her best performers to travel to the
West. Now the international situation has
changed and the Indonesian government
is bringing a troupe of 15 performers to
the United States. The troupe will pre-
sent a broad cross-section of Indonesian
performing arts by relating the story of
the great Hindu epic, the Ramayana,
through different art forms. For example
a comic scene will be depicted through
wayang orang (live actors), a scene from
the love story of Rama and Sita through
Javanese dance, and a battle scene
through wayang kulit (shadow puppets).

Hunger, despair, loneliness— this is poverty, this and so much more. America
is beginning to understand this problem of poverty, but how to abolish it is still as
complexing and absorbing as it was in the past. One man has said he has the answer,
so we sit on the edge of our chairs and marvel— an answer? Mr. Michael Harrington
says that he can abolish poverty, but wonders if America can lift her mighty hand
and help the poor in our rich, fat country.
Born in St. Louis in 1928, Mr. Harrington first became involved with this
problem when he helped feed and clothe Bowery derelicts at the Catholic Worker
House in New York. Later involvement came in working with Arkansas Sharecrop-
pers, with Mexican-American migrant workers in Southern California, and coal
miners in Appalachia. These experiences led to extensive research and study on
American industry, social alienation, and institutionalized poverty.
Mr. Harrington has written three books, resulting from his involvement and
research on "The invisible poor" in America. The Other America is his first book,
followed by The Accidental Century, a commentary on the poverty program. In his
latest book, Toward A Democratic Left, Mr. Harrington reveals his program de-
signed to produce social gains.
Michael Harrington is concerned— enough so to come to Maryville College
Friday evening, 8:30 p.m. to speak to the community. His brilliant perceptions
demonstrate the new thinking that can help America tackle this urgent social crisis.
Wouldn't you like to listen to someone who cares, and then care a little yourself?
Fourteen soloists have been selec-
ted to perform in the thirty -seventh
annual presentation of Handel's Messiah
at Maryville College. Featuring a 175
voice chorus and 40 piece orchestra
composed of college and community
musicians, the oratorio is an inspiring
religious experience, drawing a capacity
audience each year. Over 1200 persons
are expected to hear this year's presenta-
tion scheduled for Sunday afternoon,
November 9, at 3 p.m. in the Wilson
Chapel.
Dan Kinsinger, tenor and assistant
professor of music at the College, is
slated to perform the recitative, "Com-
fort Ye My People," and the air "Every
Valley." Mel Wilhite, a tenor and di-
rector of music at the First United
Methodist Church of Maryville, will sing
the recitative, "Thy Rebuke," and the
air, "Behold and See."
"Then Shall the Eyes," and the air,
"He Shall Feed His Flock."
Scheduled to sing soprano solos
are: Carolie Fisher, senior music major
from Wilmington, Del., with two ariosos,
"And Lo the Angel" and "And Sudden-
ly," and two recitatives, "There Were
Shepherds" and "And the Angel Said";
Jean Fleming, junior music major from
Erie, Pa., performing the air "Come Unto
Him"; and Sue Yehl, junior music major
from Hammonton, N.J,, singing the air
"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth."
The trumpet solo for the air, "The
Trumpet Shall Sound," will be performed
by James Buxton, sophomore music ma-
jor from Englewood, Ohio.
Bass soloists are: Charles Ball,
sophomore music major from Alcoa, who
will sing the recitative, "For Behold,
Darkness"; Doug Barber, junior music
major from Knoxville, singing the recita-
tive, "Behold I Tell You A Mystery,"
and the air, "The Trumpet Shall Sound";
Mike Bullard, senior psychology major
from Knoxville, performing the recita-
tive, "Thus Saith the Lord"; James

FROM THE Edi^rss HoBBIMS^^nd FA^NG-
T*<l«2
Two weeks ago in Medieval History,
Dr. Walker began the lecture, not with
the usual unfolding of historical facts,
but by reading an article which appeared
in this month's Saturday Review. Wheth-
er the entire class was attentive is debat-
able; however, a few members of the
class managed to participate in the en-
suing discussion of the article, which
concerned one man's views of the pitfalls
of our society. There was one particular
idea that Dr. Walker mentioned in the
discussion: there are very few students
who actually enjoy the process of learn-
ing. This is a very important point that
each student should think about. How
many students at Maryville College, and
all colleges throughout the world for that
matter, revel in the learning of informa-
tion? The numbers would be quite few,
since today's students are trapped in a
process, not an experience of discovery.
Although difficult to realize or ad-
mit, students attend college to acquire
that little piece of paper, which they in-
correctly envision as their passport to a
job in the outside world. Consequently,
students are being trained, not educated,
and there is a big difference in the two.'
But there is another side to this
lack of joy in learning, which can only
result when the educational complex
decides to reform itself. Let's face it,
the student must have the grades in
order to graduate so that he can go out
into the world and get a decent job.
Students become pre-occupied with this
process because the futility of the "edu-
cationar'-assembly hne and the pressures
from educators and from society do not
give the students time to learn; therefore
all the new curricula in the world are not
going to be effective until the educators,
as well as the students, revalue them-
selves. A little bit of idealistic thinking,
and a little less materialistic thought
needs to occur on the campuses and in
society.
What is the answer to this battle
of idealistic learning versus realistic train-
ing? I am no Wizard of Oz, haying the
answer to this difficult question, but
what I would like to see is a student
thinking about his education. I would
also like to see a radical educational
revolution in which the teachers will
be a guide to the student, and not a Big
Brother figure, putting those five letters
of the alphabet in his gradebook.
I urge each student, and this in-
cludes myself because I am unfortunately
just as guilty, to heed the words of
Isidore, Archbishop of Seville during the
first part of the seventh century:
Learn as if you were to live forever.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
VIBWP0\MT:
Worth Op ^4<^M (AoR^TORiurA?
After much prodding by my favor-
ite editor i.e. Fang, 1 have conceded to
write a somewhat "controversial" article
to stimulate otherwise drab and down-
right boring pseudo-political discussions
that take place in or arourld the campus.
I'm sure we don't have any close-minded
liberals here on campus, but just in case
we do I would like to say to you that I
hope I entertain you and that you go
away with the feeHng that I am a lost
cause. But I am sure the majority of the
"left" will be more than willing to respect
my opinion and my right to hold it.
Won't you?
Vietnam Arithmetic
I suppose that maybe I should
start with a comment about October 15.
As we all know President Nixon has al-
ready brought home over 60,000 troops
from Vietnam~ll percent of the author-
ized total. My peace-at-any-price friends
would term this "insignificant." On the
above mentioned Wednesday about one
million citizens protested our govern-
ment's policy. As we also this makes up
about one-half of one percent of the
U.S. population. I fail to see how this
qualifies one to call it a "success."
When our President said he would
not be influenced by street demonstra-
tions the participants cried out unfair.
But what if the President DID listen and
was influenced by them. ..might we ex-
pect a PROPORTIONAL withdrawal of
troops? Our next big cutback might then
be only 2,000 men of those remaining.
As Mr. Steven Philo has said, "Actions
speak louder than words. Maybe Presi-
dent Nixon wants our boys honic more
than the demonstrators."
Who Really Wants Peace?
On numerous occasions both Presi-
dent Johnson and President Nixon have
gone before both this nation and the
world to say in no uncertain terms that
the United States wants peace. They
have demonstrated this by bombing slow-
downs, bombing halts, and most recently
troop withdrawals. But how has the Viet
Cong responded? They have done nothing
until recently except accelerate the com-
bat. Within the last month or so the Viet
Cong attacks have been more infrequent
than at any other time. You say this is
favorable, but the November 3 issue of
Newsweek points out:
M.C. needs visitation! Copeland's
moral implications must go! M.C. must
initiate a new policy that is unique and
workable for this campus, not explore
what is suitable at Harvard or Macalester.
Healthy sex relations are taboo here on
Isaac's sacred mound. Parlor dating makes
a travesty of human dignity. Our admin-
istration must come to realize that visita-
tion does not mean uninhibited pursuits
of what they must consider, the NASTY.
Likewise our student population needs
to mature in the area of social relations,
and this very well could be the only sat-
isfactory answer on our campus of lim-
ited social activity. If something cannot
be worked out in our dorms, then stu-
dents, who desire more personal freedom,
should have the option to live off-campus.
And at that point if there are any moral
implications they should not be burdened
on our administration, but rather on the
students, and possibly their enlightened
druggist.

Dear Editor:
I am writing concerning a meeting
held Wednesday night, October 29th,
by s^me of the science faculty for in-
terested students of the Science Thought
course to discuss with us the course, in
particular the grading of research pa-
pers. Although not all differences of
opinion between students and faculty,
faculty and faculty, and students and
students were resolved, the important
thing, as I see it, is that these differ-
ences were brought out into the open
and discussed with the intent of under-
standing one another and learning from
one another. Perhaps, were I an upper-
classman I would know that the open-
mindedness of the science faculty is
nothing unusual but rather is typical
of the entire faculty (or perhaps I would
know otherwise). However, being a
freshman, this experience of meaningful
dialogue with professors as such is com-
pletely new to me. Therefore, I cannot
take it for granted. My enthusiasm must
be expressed; hence, this letter.
I wish to express my appreciation
to the science faculty and students in-
volved in the discussion that occurred
Wednesday night. To the faculty I would
say that the situation during this con-
frontation was perhaps the most success-
ful of your attempts to teach me to
learn. (What really gets me is that this
was not an attempt to force a situation
from which learning "automatically"
would result.) To my fellow students
1 would say thank you for your vital
part in this learning experience. Let's
do what we can to keep it alive and
growing.
Sincerely,
Chris E. Howze

BLIZZ^R0 StRiVcES
Dr. Samuel W. Blizzard, professor
of Christianity and society and chairman
of the Department of History at Prince-
ton Theological Seminary, will be the
guest speaker for the Community Issues
and Values program at Maryville College,
Nov. 7, 1969. Dr. Blizzard will speak
on the topic of "Man's Search for Pat-
terns in Urban Living" at 9:20 a.m. in
Wilson Chapel.
Dr. Blizzard is a 1936 graduate of
Maryville College and holds the Th.B.
and Th.M. degrees from Princeton Sem-
inary. He also earned the Ph.D. in so-
ciology from Cornell University in 1946
and did further study at Mansfield Col-
lege, University of Oxford in England.

Brad Sheafnocker opened the For-
um of November 4 and introduced the
subject as curfews in girls' dorms es-
pecially the freshman dorms.
Nancy Heatwole presented a crit-
ique of the present system.. Restricted
hours for women are discriminatory when
men have no hours. This rule as such
allows men much more freedom. The at-
titude taken toward freshmen girls by
the college is a parent image: the home
away from home. A person in such a
situation, especially women, are segre-
gated from society and will not have the
opportunity to grow. The College must
allow the self to live and grow and not
just prepare to live.
Emily Hagar set forth the second
part of the critique. She suggested a com-
mittee of girls and administrators to
study the curfew system. Popular opinion
is that the curfew is inconsistent with the
ideal of individual responsibility. The girls
who feel strongly on this subject should
do something and not waste time talking.
Brad Sheafnocker presented ideas
from the other point of view. The educa-
tional environment is a controlled en-
vironment. Also the biggest reason the
rules and curfew were institut'ed was to
protect the girls. It is the expectation
of the majority of the parents who send
girls to the college that the college will
offer some protection. Most parents feel
that freshmen girls still need some pro-
tection and sheltering. A college freshman
is under legal age, and therefore still
under the jurisdiction of parents. The
college is a legitimate extension of this
control. Brad then reiterated the need for
protection due to the recent harassment
of college girls in the community. He
stated that the home-away-from-home
idea was based on the real need for pro-
tection.
Steve Horning, proclaiming himself
a "devil's advocate" added to Brad's
statement. In changing the curfew there
is no need to change dorm hours. Ex-
tending hours would not be necessary
because this system has worked in the
past. The rule on curfew is flexible e-
nough for adjustments and infractions.
This system does satisfy the need for
protection. An extension of dorm hours
would make the job of the campus po-
lice more difficult. A looser system would
be impossible to enforce if the present
one is difficult to maintain. With girls
coming in at all hours of the night there
would be more disturbances for other
residents in the dorm.
Nancy Heatwole disputed Brad s
statement about college as a controlled
environment. When an individual sub-
mits to this type of control he loses the
basic freedom of defining his own goals
and ideals. Brad replied that he did not
think an individual was going to find his
ideal after hours.
One suggestion as an alternative to
the present ruling would be the curfew
system as such for freshmen men and
women for the first term, thereafter re-
placed by a key system.
One girl asked for boys' opinions
from the audience.
Among the replies were: the idea of
a permission slip from parents to allow
their daughters to have keys. Another was
that all girls should have keys. The bell
was then rung, announcing the end of the
session.

Is it Superman? Well, it might look
like it, but really it is C. F. Smith, guard
for the Maryville College Scots. C. F. is a
junior from Loudon, lennessee, and is
majoring in chemistry, lie was the Scots'
starting noseman during his freshman and
the beginning of his sophomore year, but
a knee injury forced him out of play tem-
porarily. Surgery on the knee seems to
have been successful, and C. F. has been
doing well this year. His pef-formance in
the past has been good, and his conduct
on the field will determine what kind of
player he becomes in the future. In Fri-
day's game against Millsaps, Smith proved
his worth by running an intercepted pass
48 yards for a touchdown. We hope that
his knee will cause him no more trouble,
and look forward to seeing him in plenty
of action in future ball game.

Due to the courtesies extended to
myself and members of the freshman
class, I find it necessary to write this fol-
lowup article. The subject matter remains
the Science Thought course and the Phil-
osophy lOl course on the surface, but this
time must be extended, to include some
of the reactions brought forth, not only
by the previous article, but also college
life in general. My research is not com-
plete and includes mainly those opinions
that have been voiced to me and my own
personal opinions.
First of all, I must thank the stafi
members of the Phi'osophy lOl course for
spending over an hour discussing with me
the situation of the philosophy lectures
along with many odici" problems con-
fronting the incoming freshmen and the
staff that is set to teach us. Following this
discussion, my observation to this day
seems to point more and more strongly to
one conclusion. The staff is showing
much more understanding and courtesy
toward us than is being shown to them.
My fellow class members might want to
disagree with me, but I ask that they
think back to the last lecture and think of
the talking that was going on that was out
of place. Some might feel that their time
is being wasted by coming to these lec-
tures. Considering the intellectual superi-
ority of our teachers in relation to our-
selves, it seems more logical an approach
to think that they might just be wasting
their time preparing for these lectures
when so much disinterest exists. Every-
one has his own pride, and this does not
disclude ahcievements and their life work.
Much has been done, much to my chagrin
as a freshman, to hurt this pride. A stere-
otype image of lost, but nevertheless, ego-
tistical underclassmen in general has been
produced. It would be hard in light of
this sort of perverted egotism for the fac-
ulty not to revert to and maintain their
pride with one of the most basic differ-
ences of teaching high school as com-
pared to college. No longer does the
teacher have the responsibility of seeing
to it that we pass his course. In other
v/ords, and a little more pointed, he is
saying, "If you don't give a damn about
yourself, I donit give a damn about you."
I sometimes wonder how many freshmen
there are going to be next year, or even
next term!
Next in line is the Science Thought
course. Again, my criticism falls on stu-
dents. The faculty, in light of the pre-
vious article, approached me with the i-
dea of an open discussion on the general
subject of grading, but with the obvious
option of discussing the entire course cur-
riculum. About twenty people were in-
terested enough to try to find out what
the course involves, considering the un-
fortunate fact that the course has not
been well-defined and is vague in many of
its fundamentals. Too many students
aren't taking advantage of the education
that is available to them. A new suggestion
for a grading system for major papers,
which is extremely fair and sensible, did
come out of this meeting. Where is the
concern? We have already lost about
a dozen students this year! How many
more won't be coming back after the
Christmas Break?
I have been very pointedly one-
sided throughout this article, and all the
argument is not all this one-sided, but the
core of the problem is here and must be ^
eliminated. The transformation from a
high school system is not easy, but after
more than two months to adjust, the
overall picture is far too poor. Take re-
sponsibility for your education! Help our
freshman class overcome its poor image!
Help the professors to help us!

IN DRY PLACES
This used to be a pretty good country.
Easy Rider
Eyes and eyes and eyes and eyes
blow like sand off the flowers of your shoulders,
drift their desert gaze down your body
forming clouds of dust you kick up with your boots.
The eyes and eyes and eyes and eyes
mostly
settle a mantle of grit over your hair —
Flowing a defiant stream of liquid down your neck,
cascading in rivulets over your ears,
cutting channels in dry places.
Still the eyes leer
while the drought of their thought explodes over you
with the swirling darkness of a sudden sandstorm.
They
who lurk behind those abrasive eyes
hurl the dry spittle of their hatred:
"queer"
"communist"
"damn hippie"
With shriveled mouths they form
their withered labels
laughing and nudging,
but mostly staring.
Behind the eyes and the hate
they are each speaking inaudible words.
Sounds are formed by the abscessed spaces
lying behind their sneezing masks of indignance.
The words wheeze in the arid corridors of isolated minds

The search for a meaningful Christian dialogue continues to
be difficult for those of us who are either indifferent to
Christianity or disgusted by its structures. But Maryville,
with a history of committment to Christian perspective, is at-
tempting to expand dialogue through new forms for the tradi-
tional religious meetings. The days of January 14th and 15th
will be used to discuss "The Christian and the State" and "The
Christian and the Church." The topics and theme will be dis-
cussed by all segments of the college community as the regu-
larly scheduled classes will be altered to deal with these sub-
jects. Four speakers are coming to the campus to participate
with us in our efforts to understand the relation of the Chris-
tian to his church and larger society.
The essential characteristic of these topics is that nobody
can explain exactly what it means to be a Christian. For every
individual it must take different forms. Therefore, our speak-
ers are coming not as men bearing the ultimate word of God, but
as four men who have been deeply involved in aspects of our so- :
ciety and church which go far beyond what we have been able to
experience at Maryville. Their value comes from the different
perspectives which they have been able to develop. So they
will become involved in the life of our campus as men with
strong ideas who will help in our search.
Dr. George Weber, developer of the East Harlem Protestant
Parish and President of New York Theological Seminary will
speak Wednesday, January 14 at 9:20 a.m. on "The Christian and
the State." Dr. Weber, who has written God's Colony in Man's
World and The Congregation in Mission, is noted for his con-
cept of the dynamic Christian faith rooted in biblical under-
standing and committed to urgent participation in rectifying
fundamental problems of our society.
Dr. Bruce Rigdon, assistant professor of Church History at
McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, will speak during
the same program. He will also discuss his view of the Chris-
tian's role in the state. Dr. Rigdon received his graduate
degrees at Yale University and has participated extensively in
student Christian groups throughout the world. The rest of the
day will be filled with discussion in classes and other groups.
Speakers will be available for individual conferences in the
late afternoon and for panel discussions in the Lantern at
night.
The meetings will continue with two addresses during CIV
hour on Thursday morning. Dr. Edward Brubaker, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church in Wichita, Kansas, will speak on
"The Christian and the Chruch." He has had much experience in
suburban church life and has worked to encourage those groups
to understand more completely the world of which they are a
part. He presents the perspective of one working in the more
traditional church structures.
The Reverend Raymond Nott, mobile minister to two hundred
families scattered over fifteen thousand square miles of rat-
tlesnake and cactus country in the Bighorn Basin of north cen-
tral Wyoming, will also speak during the CIV hour on January

OUR FACULTY LEAVES
Six members of the Maryville Col-
lege faculty are on leave this year under
two special types of leave programs.
Mrs. Charlotte H. Beck, instructor
in English, is at the University of Tennes-
see Graduate School where she is working
toward her doctorate under the National
Teaching Fellows program.
Dr. Carolyn Louise Blair, professor
of English and Secretary of the Faculty,
is on sabbatical and leave of absence for
the entire year.
Mr. John William Nichols, instruc-
tor in mathematics, is at the University
of Tennessee Graduate School where he
is working toward his doctorate under
the National Teaching Fellows program.
Mr. Robert Clinton Ramger, assis-
tant professor of biology, is continuing
his work at the University of Tennessee
Graduate School under the National
Teaching Fellows program.
Mr. William H. Swenson, assistant
professor of art, is at Northwestern Uni-
versity while on sabbatical.
Dr. Arda Walker, professor and
chairman of the department of history,
will begin her sabbatical at the conclu-
sion of the Interim Term.
Sabbatical leave is granted to fac-
ulty members who have served six con-
secutive years. This enables them to do
advanced study and research in their
particular discipline, which they could
not do while teaching full time. The
purpose of such leave is to prepare the
individual for more effective teaching
upon his or her return to the College.
Special leaves are granted to fac-
ulty to do advance study on their doc-
torate. These special leaves are made pos-
sible by a program of the National
Teaching Fellows under Title III of the
Higher Education Act. Grants made to
Maryville College under this program pay
the salaries of young instructors who are
brought to the College for a period of
one or two years as National Teaching
Fellows to replace regular members of
the faculty who are thus enabled to go on
with doctoral work.
Ten members of the Maryville Col-
lege faculty have been granted such leave
in the past four years.

The question arises, as we
near our second centennial,
are we still a healthy nation?
In a healthy society there is
a balance of freedom and order
and even during social change
there is a measure of stabili-
ty. Besides the universal
problems of pollution, urban
decay, and generation gap, in
America is a confusing war and
a decidedly touchy racial con-
flict. It seems none too like-
ly that these baffling prob-
lems will be solved unless we
manage to raise the level of
political understanding and so-
cial sjrmpathy. Here at MC we
seem worlds away from these
problems, and the general atfcJr
tude appears apathetic to them.
However, if we ignore these
problems, we are choking our
very humanity. And in this
school where humanity is such
an integral part of our educa-
tion, we cannot let our inter-
est in the rest of the world
die without expecting the si-
multaneous death of our ovai
education. It is at this point
when we stop growing that our
country stops, too, and then
our freedom is in peril.
WINTER OF OUR DISRESPECT
Every year the Maryville Col-
lege audience becomes more dis-
respectful, whether at a play,
movie, or CIV program. The '
chatting, snickering, and
sleeping have gone so far that ,
they embarrass even high school
students, who oftentimes are
more mature and attentive than
we collegiate scholars have
proven to be. The Community
Issues and Values Program is
an exciting educational oppor-
tunity, and yet whenever CIV
is mentioned, as just now, it
receives a groan as though it
were an oppressive yoke to be
worn by all pitiful MC stu-
; dents.
Overly critical? Not at all I
Although there are students
disciplined enough to sit
quietly through a lecture, sac-
rificing 70 minutes of their
time to patient attention, they
are in the minority. Look a-
round you the next time you've
settled into your seat when
the speaker's introductory
jokes are over. Don't ignore
the magazines, text books, and
"Dear Mom" letters; don' t over-
look the sleepers or those who
are quite unashamed of talking
all of the way through a CIV
program without bothering once
to catch a point the speaker
may have been trying to drive.

has provided Mr. Nott with a different perspective of the

devoted to class discussions and forum groups with the speakers
participating. The locations where different groups are to
meet will be announced.
Dialogue and discussions are the foundations upon which ef-
fective Christian involvement must be built. The purpose of
the meetings is not to convert everyone to a particular posi-
tion or to demand that all of us be Christians. The purpose is
to confront the college community with ideas and new perspec-
tives on the Christian's relation to his nation and church.
It is essential that as individuals we accept the confrontation
and consider the implications of being human in a mass society.

was very helpful, and we made
some very good friends. We
tried to answer their questions
about America (race problems,
family life, Vietnam, etc.) as
honestly ^s possible.
The second month we lived in
the campus guest house. Most
of this period of time was
spent in having lectures, col-
lecting research for our inde-
pendent study projects and
field trips. We had the oppor-
tunity to talk with Mr. Morarji that it actually hinders
Desai, former deputy
Mary Ellen
prime
minister, and we visited hill
resorts, palaces and even went
on a picture taking "lion sa-
fari" in a forest where lions
roam wild. There we witnessed
a lion kill a wild cow. But
the most fascinating places we
have visited were the villages
where most of the homes were
built of cow dung and mud. One
\ village didn't even have elec-
: tricity and most of the cooking
was done in clay ovens. But
the people were fantastically
friendly, and I suspect Ameri-
can visitors were rather rare'.
, The whole village turned out
to greet us, fed us, and then
we had a mass meeting with them
asking and answering questions
through an interpreter. We had
so much attention that we felt
like movie stars'. Before we
left they gave us a camel ride
through the village.
Since the beginning of Decem-
ber we have been living in Al-
lahabad, a holy city on the
Ganges, with families. My fam-
ily is Hindu vegetarian, fair-
ly well to do (the father is a
lawyer) and lives in a huge,
ancient house surrounded by
gardens. They're really nice,
speak excellent English, and
are really much like an Amer-
ican family in many ways. For
one, the kids are as crazy a-
bout cricket as American kids
are crazy about baseball. In
fact after school they would

Admit to yourself that towards
the end of many programs the
audience has become so noisy
many
students from hearing what the
speaker is saying, even though
they may wish to hear him.
We're a little too friendly
community to actually turn on
each other and say "shut up I",
so instead we deny outselves
the right to hear the talk,
and since it is as difficult
to concentrate as it is, we
relax into the murmur of the
crowd. Do we forget so easily
that we are actually paying to
hear and see these programs?
If nothing else will strike
your conscience, at least con-
sider how much of your time.
and money is lost in the CIV
program, and remember who it
was that lost it.

Maryville College saw in
September of this past year the
debut of our current Universi-
ty Christian Movement organi-
zation. Even before most of the
college population arrived on
campus, UCM was at work plan-
ning the freshman orientation
program. The year's first of-
ficial Retreat at Laurel Lake
followed shortly thereafter.
When a general meeting had
been called, a division of re-
sponsibilities took shape to
fulfill UCM's pledges of ser-
vice to the campus and commu-
nity. Now in 1970, UCM reviews
its achievements and outlines
its emphasis for the remainder
of this college year.
Barnwarming, the Fall Retreat,
and services provided by Nu
Gamma and Key Men were less,
ambitious than they have been
in past years. Instead, UCM
stressed the importance of
Christian outreach in its Pro-
ject Invest Yourself programs.
In three major areas, students
devoted to Project Invest Your-
self tallied outstanding accom-
plishments. Approximately for-
ty Maryville College students
tutored more than fifty local
EDITORM
The ECHO takes the stand
that we should have a modified
form of open dorms, particular-
ly on the weekends. Lately,
the weather has been so bad
that it has been impossible to
do much off campus. This has
been a super hassle because
there has been nothing to do
on campus. Even the student
center has run out of chairs
for the crowds that have fled
'there for some measure of en-
tertainment. It is about time
that we consider our social
dilemma here at Maryville. The
ECHO would like to hear vari-
ous opinions from other members
of the community concerning
this issue.

the opportunity to look on society crit
ically. By its very situation, that of re-
maining in culture, yet also set apart due
to its community organization, united
under a general concern, Maryville has
the society structure. Due to the fact that
the members are united under the general
concept of searching for truth, the im-
portant factor does not lie in the struc-
tures tliat are set up to provide communi-
the chance to act in a critical manner to cation [unless they are acting to prevent
the society surrounding it. Maryville's
residence halls are also important to the
purpose in that the student who pursues
his education while living in a unique sit-
uation-that of a part of society yet also
separate-can define who he is and ex-
perience a freedom that the members of
the larger society cannot. It could be
described as a "breathing space"in which
the student can participate in a genuine

the community are relating to (the search
for truth or meaning). In this view, then,
communication and dialogue are essential
to a group dedicated to the purpose of

A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Few men in history have done more to bring peacei
between warring classes and factions than St.i
Francis of Assisi. The prayer attributed to him de- i
serves study, recitation and carrying into practice: I
"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. i
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon; I
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; \
And where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much \
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love; , !
For it is in giving that we receive; \
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; j
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." \

Poltical writer Jack New-
field has these suggestions of
where to go from the Wash-
ington Moratorium: (1) Urge
1,000,000 taxpayers-too many
to imprison-to put their taxes
in escrow, (2) Support the
swelHng ranks of GI dissenters
with marches to Army bases,
and (3) Canvas strong for
Senate doves facing conserva-
tives and for candidates op-
posing super-hawks in next
year's elections . . . Let's hear
it for Princeton's crusty old
Triangle Club . . . This year's
production (Call A Spade A
Shovel) will have two things
it never had before — rock and
integration . . . Sacred cows
make great hamburgers . . .
Have all those sexy young
swingles in big cities really
got it made? Not according
to many shrinks, who claim
that the Pill and sexual free-
dom are creating real hate be-
tween the sexes. Shack-ups
are so fast and easy and
meaningless, say they, that
both sides feel cheated and
blame each other . . . Look up
"Ph.D." in H. L. Mencken's
A New Dictionary of Quoia-
lions and you're directed to
"See Quack." . . . Writing in
a ladies' magazine about his
conscientious-objector son
Michael, Gene McCarthy says,
"By refusing to fight, Michael
may have done more for the
cause of peace than I have ac-
complished in all my speech-
es." . . . The new name for
foot-in-mouth disease is Ag-
new's Complaint . . . What if
they gave a war and nobody
came? people keep asking.
Well, here's Wall Street cry-
ing for bright young lawyers,
who are staying away in
droves. Our able new Law
School grads seem more inter-
ested in society's problem
areas ... An NYU kid was
nabbed for peddling an al-
legedly dirty picture. "You
call this dirty?" he asked the
arresting cop. "You mean
you've never seen nine people
in love?" . . . Got a Winter
Carnival or Mardi Gras com-
ing up? You'll be really with
it if your Queen is a he! At
several colleges popular, good-
looking guys have been elect-
ed homecoming queens. They
run as a kind of fun put-on
and the competing gals find
it a gas . . . Moratorium Smile:
In New York's Bryant Park
a 50-year-old baldie gently
tapped the 20-year-old in
front of him. "I love your
hair, man," he said, "but
would you please duck a little
so I can see the speaker?" , . .
Things are never what they
seem to be . . . Any of you
girls dieting, here's a good rule-
of-thumb: If it tastes good,
spit it out . . . Day's wages for
rioting? Yep. For a week 1000
college kids n the Stockton,
Calif, area drew bread for
clashing with the police at
City Hall. But they were real-
ly working — as "extras" in the
riot scenes in The Strawberry
Statement, the M-G-M film
being adapted from the book
by Columbia undergrad James
Kunen . . . Dow lost the na-
palm contract to American
Electric Co. of Los Angeles.
But a Dow recruiter still got
the heave-ho at Notre Dame.
The unwelcome committee
was led by a mini-skirted nun
... To ask for a kiss in the
literate way, say, "Hey, hon-
ey, how about a little juzta-
position of our orbicularis oris
muscles?" Peter D. Quigley of
Lakeland College copped the
$25 graffiti prize for "Drive
carefully, Dr. Barnard is wait-
ing!"

SCOTS
Coach Baird and the Scots
Basketball team would like co
express their sincere appreci-
ation to the Maryville College
Stadent Body for their support
during their trip to the Sun
Coast Classic in St. Peters-
burg, Fla. The telegram was
appreciated by everyone far
more than any ordinary tele-
gram. Coach Baird stated that
it was the best thing that has
ever happened on a road trip
and expressed his thanks to all
for the nice gesture in think-
ing enough about their team.
The continued support of the
student body at all basketball
games is also sincerely appre-
ciated.
After posting a 3-jl record
before the Holidays, the Scots
have dropped 3 straight. Two
of these were near wins as
Maryville lost to Florida Pres-
byterian 62-59 anc UT at Chat-
tanooga 74-72. Th3 Chattanooga
game was probably the Scots
best effort of the season as
they nearly upset a tough lower
class university opponent.
In the Florida Presbyterian
game, it was tight all the way.
Shawn McElroy of the Tritons
provided the difference. Mc-
Elroy was playing his first
game of the season due to a
grade mix-up. Two of his grcdes
had been marked wrong and thus
he was declared ineligible. He
appealed his situation and be-
came eligible when a double-
check proved two errors. His
lay-off did not affect him as
he scored 25 and was eventual-
ly named the tournament * s most
valuable player. For the Scots,
Dan McKinstry scored i9, Warren
Morgan and Mike Barrows scored
17 and 13, respectively.
On Saturday night the dis-
heartened Scots found the go-
ing rough. They fell before
North Central of Illinois 78-
59. The Scots cut the lead sev-
eral times, but could not mus-
ter a sustained effort. Mike
Barrows scored 13 and Dan Mc-
Kinstry, 10. Warren Morgan was
voted to the All-Tournament
team.
The Scots arrived back from
Florida about noon on Sunday
and were aware that they had
their toughest opoonent of li)B
season in Chattanooga.
The Mocs broke out of a 27"-
11 lead after 10 minutes of
play. Then the Scots caught
fire and by half time vzere onl}
down 5. The hustle of the Scots
in the second half and it took
a tremendous effort to subdue
the poised Scots, who witl\ four
minutes to go led by five, but
then a steal and two tip-ins
put the Mocs bacKontop. After
a Mocs free throw, John Weston
tied it. The Mocs held for one
shot and with two seconds left
in a scramble under the basket
a Moc was fouled, and sealed
the verdict by making both
shots. Warren Morgan who was^i^— *» f
outstanding on the boards ^^Mflk^
S2ored 23, John Weston, making i^^''U^
his first start as a Scot added T^VjiO^
17 and Mike Barrows followed "0UVi"O^
closely with 16. smaii-screen-o -scop© ///
The team appears to have je
led with this game and sev<,
players seem to be of firs
team calibre. Capt. Lynn Di.
dine leads the team with h]
hustle and his determinatic
to make a winning effort. Dc
McKinstry is the team's leadir
scorer, tie was 34th in scorir
and 8th in field goal percent
age in national small colleg
totals. Warren Morgan contin
ues to amaze opponents with hi
jumping ability and deft shoot
ing touch. Mike Barrows seem
to have regained the scorin
touch whicn gave him an 18 pt
average last year. Lynn Miz
has played ably at center an
fortvard despite his lack o
height. Since his switch t*
' forward his scoring abilit;
has increased constantly. Doi
Hickman is probably the toj
defensive player on the teai
and his 6'1" height and gooc
spring make his scoring abili-
ty from the guard position val-
uable. He and John Weston botl
seem to be in the groove foi
basketball after football has
worn off. Bob Fox the lone
freshman on the squad is im-
proving steadily and has per-
formed well in his varsity
stints. Doug Cox's strong re-
bounding is also a main factor
as is Bill Arlington's defense
to the team. Ondis Bible and
Steve Boggs are trying to shake
off the rustlness of a year's
layoff from the hardwood and
are both better than average
s.iooters.
The Scots tangle with Clinch
Valley here on Saturday night
at 7:30. Then the Scots go to
Milligan on Monday and LMU on
Thursday before returning to
nory and Henry next Sat-
urday. The Scots appreciate
the fine student body support
and liope it continues. The
Scots will continue to put
forth their best effort, so
come Back the ScotsIII

the weather has been so bad
that it has been impossible to
do much off campus. This has
been a super hassle because
there has been nothing to do
on campus. Even the student
center has run out of chairs
for the crowds that have fled
'there for some measure of en-
tertainment. It is about time
that we consider our social
dilemma here at Maryville. The
ECHO would like to hear vari-
ous opinions from ether members
of the community concerning
this issue.
'->~*'-^»»'»«*f*^«J*S-S« .
Maryville C is a unique situation
in our culture in that it is an educa-
tional institution provided with and given
the opportunity to look on society crit-
ically. By its very situation, that of re-
maining in culture, yet also set apart due
to its community organization, united
under a general concern, Maryville has
the chance to act in a critical manner to
the society surrounding it. Maryville 's
residence halls are also important to the
purpose in that the student who pursues
his education while living in a unique sit-
uationthat of a part of society yet also
separate-can define who he is and ex
i^viisf-fed i>vifimc
the residence hall to visitation does not
destroy the concept of members who
relate in a manner different from that of
the society structure. Due to the fact that
the members are united under the general
concept of searching for truth, the im-
portant factor does not lie in the struc-
tures tliat are set up to provide communi-
cation (unless they are acting to prevent
communication) but what the people in
the community are relating to (the search
for truth or meaning). In this view, then,
communication and dialogue are essential
to a group dedicated to the purpose of
academic and individual fulfillment. Vis-
perience a freedom that the members of i^^^i^^^ i^^ taking account of our ideal of
the larger society cannot. It could be community and remaining within it, will
described as a "breathing space"in which ^^^ destroy our unique situation but only
the student can participate in a genuine ^"^^^Sc ^f M the members living within
education situation -defining and search- ^^^ community. We are united united
ing for his values and goals while not be
ing subjected to the influences and lim-
ited freedoms of our contemporary so-
ciety.
Residence halls then become an in-
tegral part of two of the college 's goals-
that of becoming a community and of
acting as a "gadfly" to society. To open
under a general purpose which is search-
ing-and this fact in itself sets up apart
from members of society who do not
relate under a general purpose or direc-
tion. We arc unique but we need the
freedom to use our uniqueness as a tool.
In order for this to, come about, for
people to search honestly -communica-
tion and inter-relationships are essential.
A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Few men in history have done more to bring peace
between warring classes and factions than St.
Francis of Assisi. The prayer attributed to him de-
serves study, recitation and carrying into practice:
"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."

REY d« la TORRE
VIVA CUBA/
Famous bull fighter from
Cuba?! No I Senor Rey de la
Torre, classical guitarist, a
native of Havana, will be ap-
pearing on campus on Thursday
January 29 at 8:15 p.m. for an
enlightening and thrilling
concert.
Mr. de la Torre has been a
master of his instrument since
he was ten years of age. At 14
he left his native Havana to
continue his education in
Spain, where he studied guitar
under the brilliant virtuoso,
Miguel Llobet. He made his
debut in Bar elona at the age
of 16 and scored a resounding
success that immediately
launched him on his concert
career. In 1941, he made his
Town Hall debut, and since
that date has toured all over
the globe.
He has appeared on many tel-
evision shows, including the
Jack Paar Show, the Today Show,
Camera 3, and the telecast of
Garcia Lorca ' s provocative
drama "The House of Bernada
Alba." He has also recorded
extensively, and his current
Epic recordings are among the
country's best selleirs in this
field.
Through the years, Rey de la
Torre has kept abreast with
modern Spanish and Latin Amer-
ican Music. He premiered the
Guitar Concerto of Joaquin
Rodrigo with the Cleveland Or-
chestra and has since played
this concerto with leading or-
chestras throughout the United
States. He has had music writ-
ten especially for him by such
contemporary composers as Jul-
Plans for the 1970 Interim
are already under way. The
English Department is propos-
ing a study tour based on the
Arthurian legend.
This proposed tour would in-
clude visits to Cadbury (Came-
lot?); Glastonbury (Arthur's
burial place?); Winchester
(meeting place of the Knights
of the Round Table); Canter-
bury; London and its environs,
including Westminster Abbey,
the Tower, the British Museum,
art galleries, Oxford, and
Cambridge. Possibly the group
will also spend some time in
France since some of the Ar-
thurian legends are of French
origin.
This exploration of the rich
vein of Arthurian material
would include a study of such
literary works as T.H. White's
The Once and Future King, Ten-
nyson's Idylls of the King, and
Spenser's Faerie Queene. It
would also involve an acquain-
tance with American writers who
have used this material — Edwin
Arlington Ribonson, Mark Twain
and others.
The project will provide an
opportunity for many areas of
s tudy — literature , his tory , ar t ,
music, to name a few of them.
One of the major aims of this
project is to develop an appre-
ciation for the effects the Ar-
thur stories have had on Anglo-
American concepts and ideals.
Out of this study should come
an awareness of the ways the
material has been used to pro-
mote religious thought, polit-
ical needs, and socLal concepts.
The shift of emphasis by the
various authors gives much in-
sight to the times in which
they were writing.
The tour will require 21-25
days, depending upon whether
the eastbound trip is by ship .
or plane. If the ship is. cho-
sen, part of the orientation
will be done at sea.
Students interested in this
interim project should talk
with Mrs. Fowler, Anderson 317,
or Mrs. Gate, Anderson 219.
Will all those who have not
returned their CATALOG. QUES-
TIONNAIRES please do so by
Monday, January 26th. If you
don't have, or lost your form,
more are available in the
bookstore or from Bob Trent.

It is high time that this
school make another entrance
for the Carnegie parking lot.
Preferably, the entrance should
be through the chapel lot.
Trying to drive a car up the
ice past Dean Elia*s door is
almost impossible, and if one
does make it it is a miracle
that he does not run over a
pedestrian. The road is a
virtual sidewalk to the side
door of the dorm. If a motor-
ist makes it past the icy hill
and the students walking back
from classes, he then has a
time edging his car ever so
slowly out into Anderson Blvd,
because there are always cars
parked on either side of the
drive, obscuring vision. Even
driving with the utmost pre-
caution, the trip from the
parking space to the street is
hazardous I For the little bit
of effort a remedy would take,
the results would at least
make that part of the campus
more safe.... who knows? Maybe
someone will run over the dean?

LETTERS'
Dear Editor, I
Now that UCM has effective-
ly gained control of Vespers,
the Lantern, the local War on
Poverty, and the minds of a
number of rebels looking for a
cause, it seems they have also
captured the Highland Echo????
Bravo for them. There wasn't
much to capture, but the prin-
ciple of the thing makes me
wish I had a subscription so I
could terminate it. Since I
can't, I shall henceforth get
my deep kneebends in other
ways than in bending down to
pick up a copy of the UCM
newssheet. This is one sleek,
overprivileged, MiddJ.e Ameri-
can horse who, having been led
to the brink of the river, now
flatly refuses to drink. But
don't worry, all you True
Christians who love me anyway
and fear I might die of thirst
I brought my own canteen.
Respectively,
Deuel Elam
that is tlieir privilege, but
why suddenly jump up and ob-
noxiously BOO the referee dur-
ing the game. If all the heck-
lers would use their energy
throughout an entire game to
support the team with cheers
and chants, then our Basket-
ball team would have no doubt
as to whether or not they are
the only ones wanting a vic-
tory I I just wish we could all
come to the games ready to
make a lot of noise in support
of our team especially when we
are ahead instead of waiting
until we have a chance to show
bad sportsmanship I 1 1

Dear Editor,
I am having trouble under-
standing why many of the Mary-
ville students bother to dress
and come to the Basketball
games just to sit on the bench
as if nothing was happening on
the floor. If people prefer to
keep silent throughout a game,
Dear Editor,
I wish to call to attention
a deplorable situation which
must be remedied immediately.
I am of course referring to
the shocking case of the false
information printed in today's
Echo .
There, in black and yellow
and plain as the nose on my
face (although there has been
some controversy about whether
my nose is plain or weird) , it
reads that today's date is
(and I quote) "October 17,
1969." I do not immediately
place the blame on you. Per-
haps you have some inside in-
formation on the date that I
do not know. Or perhaps you
wish to operate on a different
calendar system. This is, of
course, your privilege.
But consider. Dear Editor,
the consequences of such an
outrageous and glaring error.
What will happen to those peo-
ple who believe that if it's
in a newspaper, it has to be
true? You have doomed them to
perpetual confusion. For the
rest of their lives, they will
secretly wonder whether today
is today or is three month s
ago.
0, Editorl Where is your
compassion? Your feeling of
brotherhood? Your concern????
How can you subject these
helpless people to such a hor-
rible fate??? Have you, after
all, no humanity? Editor, it
is your moral obligation to
correct this immoral and all
but reactionary error I
If these pleas do not move
you, then I offer a threat :
If this erroneous report is
not soon corrected, I'll throw
you to the Christians.
Fanatically yours,
„ . . Janee Elmore
Dear Editor,
Does anyone remember the term
"open speaker policy"? Much was
said on this campus about "want-
ing to hear more of what the
conservatives have to say."
But this was last May, only
two or three weeks before sum-
mer vacation and it seemed
like a safe enough statement
to make. After all, people
were expected to forget about
many things during the summer,
and that was one of them. Or
was it?
At the outset, congratula-
tions are in order to those
active in the Forum movement
on campus who make a real ef-
fort to present varying views
of campus issues. And we must
not overlook the half a dozen
CIV programs last year which
expressed moderate or — in one
or two cases, Heaven f orbit —
conservative ideas. It even
seemed last spring that the CIV
committee and its various sub-
committees, not to mention the
ACC, Religious Life Committee
and other campus groups really
meant to improve the situation
this fall, and so, we have
given them a chance. But
through some of the "old guard"
liberals and scholars, plus
such people as Madalyn Murray
and such groups as UCM and
their activities concerning
Vietnam Moratorium and other
COMX. PGr3 COL. I
corsiT. PG-Ji-Col 3
similar programs, the situa-
tion has indeed worsened this
year. And then, the January
meetings came along. Certainly
in these groups of meetings
dealing with the Christian's
relationship to his nation and
his Church, views would be
presented with basic differ-
ences. But again, we were dis-
appointed. The views were some-
what different, but only as to
means and method and not, for
the most part, as to purpose
and direction.
Certainly, we do not intend
to deny anyone's right to ad-
dress this campus. But the ex-
ercise of academic freedom and
freedom of speech is not a one-
way affair. In a situation of
a type such as Community Is-
sues and Values, we are obli-
gated to present views which
are basically divergent so
that the students and faculty
and all other members of this
community will be able to make
intelligent decisions. As a
rock song puts it, we have to
look at "both sides now." This
presents a challenge to those
who cannot identify with the
ideas as expressed in UCM and
CIV programs to express them-
selves and work for a meaning-
ful balance of speakers, and
through the ACC framework and
committee structure, this can
hopefully be achieved. But a
•great deal of responsibility
lies with those in charge of
campus activities to open
their minds. For there is no
reason, no matter how valid it
may seem, for our academic in-
tegrity to be sacrificed in
this manner. We should not
just listen to the liberals
and theoreticians of the aca-
demic world, and neither should
we be only exposed to the con-
servative ideals. We need to
try and understand all view-
points so that we can make up
our own minds. But this is im-
possible unless we make some
attempt to establish an "Open
speaker" policy here. Doesn't
this make sense to you? If it
does let me know and let's do
something about it — now I

'Noye's Fludde," the Chester
Miracle play set to music by
Benjamin Britten, will be pre-
sented through the combined
efforts of the Department of
Fine Arts, Maryville College,
First Baptist Church and New
Providence Presbyterian Church,
in two area performances Wed-
nesday evening, January 28, at
7:30 p.m. in the college chap-
el, and Sunday evening, Feb-
ruary 1, at 7:00 p.m. at the
First Baptist Church. Fea-
turing a large cast of solo-
ists, chorus, orchestra and
bell ringers, the play depicts
the estrangement and reconcil-
iation of man as taken from
the Biblical account of Noah
and the ark. Children's choirs
from the New Providence and
First Baptist Churches will
join the Maryville College
Choir with the production by
portraying various animals in
the ark.
Noah and his Ark have been
in our minds since childhood.
The coming together of animals,
water, and dry land, and a
rainbow has been common to all
our lives. It is a story which
captures the heart in many,
ways — it is adventure and dan-
ger, and finally peace and
happiness. Each and every
student is cordially invited
to help recreate this early
covenant between God and man
which is the crux of "Noye's
Fludde."
DEARLY BELOVED...
I am extremely frustrated,
and it's not due to the weath-
er, grades, courses, etc. It's
due to the lack of any kind of
concrete action by the All
College Council. That body has
now been in operation for one
year, and what, of major im-
port, has it really done?
Really, nothing. It did pass a
drinking rule. We were told to
take it through committee,
and the ACC systematically
butchered the committee's pro-
posals, adopting something
which was so out of touch with
reality that I don't even
think about it. Now, for al-
most a year, we've been talk-
ing about dorm visitation.
What has come of it? A commit-
tee made a report, one which I
could have supported and was
entirely workable. The ACC
threw out the report, told the
committee to contact other
schools about their programs
(Why?) and send a letter to
the parents (why?), and come
back later with a new proposal.
Nothing can be done about a
co-ed dorm or, for that mat-
ter, buggy rooms, falling
plaster, or sway-back beds,
until all this mire can be
cleared out of that committee
on Dorm Life (one is tempted
to ask if there is such a
thing, or if it is possible
under present conditions, but
then the reader might la ugh,
and it is really a crying mat-
ter.') What does it take to get
the ACC moving?
What it takes is for a lot
of students to get frustrated
like hell, just like me, and
start doing something, talking
to people, asking some pierc-
ing questions. What directions
do we see for our college?
Where is it going? What rele-
vance does our recently adopt-- :
ed statement of purpose have
to today's conditions? How can
the wishes of the students in
regards to greater matters,
such as teacher hiring, curric-
ulem changes, administration
hiring, etc., be expressed and
brought to bear on these prob-
lems?
The answer that will be giv-
en to these questions is that
we must look at things "Real-
istically," which in tradi-
tional Maryville vernacular
means "with extreme caution
and deliberation." I am thor-
oughly convinced that caution
and deliberation are not what
is needed around here. Why
don't we try some good old-
fashioned radicalism? We don't
have much to lose that we
wouldn't lose pretty soon any-
way! How long did that profes-
sional educational advisor who
was on campus this week say we
had? "It's a shorter time than
yod would think I"

A REVIEW OF
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
Blance Emless
Saturday night Maryville Col-
lege was most fortunate to
have Franco Zeffirelli*s pro-
duction of The Taming of the
Shrew. This movie, although it
has elements of the "cast of
thousands" technique, is cer-
tainly well worth seeing. In
the first place, the acting is
superb. As one who had never
seen the Burtons in action, I
was tremendously impressed.
Surely, there has never before
been a more tyrannical Petru-
chio or a wilder, more shrewish
Kate. Even the minor characters
are well portrayed, especially
the humorous schemer Hortensio.
Another remarkable feature
of this film is its resemblance
to Shakespeare's original
drama. Although Zeffirelli has
cut many lines and several
scenes from the play and has
added not a few of his own,
his adherence to what we
Shakespeare fanatics call "the
spirit of Shakespeare" is com-
mendable.
In fact, my only real criti-
cism of the Saturday night
presentation of this excep-
tional motion picture is of
the equipment used for showing
the film. Perhaps it is too
expensive for a school of this
size to purchase a projector
with a scope sufficiently wide
for showing more receit movies.
This fact is regrettable, but
understandable. I fail to un-
derstand, however, the contin-
ued use of the faulty sound
equipment which can so tragi-
cally reduce Shakespeare * s
deathless poetry to a shrill
squawk.
Let me plead for the pur-
chase of new sound equipment
as well as for the continued
presentation of enjoyable mo-
tion pictures on our campus.

hike a gentle breeze, kindness
blows upon the scenes of
life,
Cooling overwrought selfish-
ness and leaving a refresh-
ing awareness of the greater
joy in giving than in re-
ceiving.
Last Saturday a number of us
experienced this awareness as
we carried out a project ini-
tiated by the UCM People for
Peace Committee. We devoted
ourselves to ^l day of communi-
cation with some people of
Maryville whom we helped. This
had never been done before.
The Community Action Center
provided the names of people
who needed a helping hand, and
thirty of us broke up into
four teams and headed for their
homes. Some were sick, all
were lonely. Somehow, tears of
joy or hope in the eyes of a
lonely, sick and embarrassed
person made cleaning up a cold
muddy garage the most reward-
ing work in the world. Their
smiles of gratitude encouraged
us to continue; perhaps we
will come to adopt a family.
Anyone can do it. Anyone can
work for the joy that comes
from giving, even if this is a
selfish reason. Our engagement
with these people brought us
out of our isolated campus world
into a more realistic world — a
world of pain. Yet even the
most despairing person can see
hope through the eyes of you or
, me. If we only care...

the team traveled to Milligan
where they lost an overtime

The game Saturday was close
by either team being seven
points. Thv. inability to hit
free throws proved to be the
downfall of the Scots. The
Scots saw a slim lead vanish
as "Toonie" Cash hit a jumper
which sent the game into over-
time with the score being 76-

the Scots no doubt wished for
a lid in the buckets as shots
continued to rim out. With
ten minutes left in the game
the Maryville hoopsters were
down ten. At this point the
team began a concerted drive,
climaxed by an unbelievable

quick buckets from which thia
Scots never recovered. Cash
ended with 31 points. Warreni

Four members of the Mary-
vllle College Debate Team
traveled to Wingate, N.C.,
this past weekend to particl-
page in the Wingate Invita-

Council discussed the 6 points concerning the philosophy of
the issue: (1) Students should have some measure of responsi-
bility in running their own affairs within their own living
structures . (2) A new dorm policy would break down artificial
separation that now exists on campus, and help establish an
atmosphere more akin to a Christian community . (3) Visitation
would better room upkeep. (4) Visitation would stimulate in-
tellectual and interpersonal relationships. {5) Insufficient

The other night as I labored frantically over my Independent
Study, my tired mind began to wander. Thoughts of visitation
and the Publication Committee's questionnaire filled my mind.
The two definitely share common ground. The questionnaire
finally revealed in black and white that Maryville College is
suffering from a cancerous decrease in enrollment. Visitation
could be the medicine to cure the cancer. However, enrollment
increase and visitation will never come about if Maryville
College continues to regard its students as irresponsible in-
dividuals. We are young adults who have taken on the respon-
sibility of a college education — socially and intellectually.
But the responsibility is presently a one-sid:-d situation.
College is supposed to be a training ground for tiiat great big
world out there, but unfortunately, Maryville College has
adopted the task of creating a facade around itoe-if. It wants
us to be sheltered from the reality of that outside world.
Maryville College has played the parent role — and a bad one at
that — attempting to keep its children from growing up. Yet,
it is Maryville College that needs to grow up, and place a
little responsibility on its students. When Maryville does
this, visitation and more students will come to a college that
will offer a very good education — socially and liuellectually.
Pam
Dear Lull tor,
It's a unique situation that
I find myself in. Here I am a
senior, getting ready to gradu-
ate in June, and as I look
back over my four years here,
and wonder about the prepara-
tion I have received for life,
I find incongruencies in my
background.
I look at that remarkable
document known as the State-
ment of Purpose, and find that
it asserts that, "An education
that truly liberates involves
full and free exploration." I
also find that "The total col-
lege experience is, designed to
prepare the student for effec-
tive participation in the lar-
ger community of mankind."
From that document, one can
learn that the college stands
"In the conviction that the
most stimulating environment
for learning is a vital com-
munity,..." and that "It seeks
to establish a community in
which all activities— intellec-
tual, religious, social, cul-
tural, physical — are coordin-
ated so as to prevent dis-
tracting fragmentation."
As I look back over my car-
eer here at MC, I'm truly
grateful for the many oppor-
tunities I have had for full
and free exploration of intel-
lectual matters. By the same
token, I condemn the fragmen-
tation that has been forced
upon me. I am repulsed by the
fact that my personal and so-
cial life have been subject to
such paternalistic regulation.
A current issue is that of
open dorms, or of visitation
in dorm rooms of students ot
the opposite sex. In order to
receive a complete education
in preparation for the world
into which we will graduate,
we must not bo protected from
the inherent evils of visiting
a member of the opposite sex
in their "home away from home."
I fail to see any evils in-
herent in such a program.
Some objections have been
put forth by community members
who feel that their right to
run around in the dorms scan-
tily clad will, be violated. I
maintain that their situation,
under the current plan using
an escort system, is little
different from that of dwellers
on the first floor of some of
the dorms ;^t i-he present time.
Although many appear afraid
to verbalize it, I feel that
the primary objection of many
is that this will provide an
open invitation to sexual in-
tercourse. In the first place,
there are plenty of opportuni-
ties at present for those who
are really interested. One may
say true, but a warm bed is a
lot more inviting than a cold
field. Grante'.l ilas is so, but
in tlie spriiu; I'le fields will
be warm, with ' ■. gentle frag-
rance of wi Id 1 J > -vjers Is
there any need to say more? To
get down to brass tacks, how
many students do you think are
going to risk a roommate's un-
expected reappearance, or a
friend dropping by to borrow a
book, or the person in the
next room guffawing over the
squeaky bedsprings? Social
control is going t.i take place.
rest sate in that knowledge.
Oh yes I almost forgot about
the objection that I almost
forgot to mention is that
there seems to be a fear that
alumni might withhold funds
for the college. It's rather
ironical that one of the alum-
ni contacted by the residence
hall committee in an attempt
to find out their reactions to
the proposal replied that this
would be a wonderful solution,
especially at MC, because the
students aren't permitted to
have cars. Doesn't this lead
you to question just how vital-
ly interested and informed
these withholding patrons re-
ally are?
Really, what this is all
getting at is that I wish to
have the freedom to make my
own decisions in this matter,
as in any other matter as long
as it does not infringe upon
the same rights for others.
It seems to me that it is time
that we at Maryville wake up
to the inconsistencies in what
we stand for, and if they re-
ally aren't what they are
stated in the Statement of
Purpose, won't somebody please
tell me so that when some
prospective student asks me a-
bout my Alma Mater in four
months, I'll really know what
to tell them?

To the Editor:
After spending a week on cam-
pus and hearing about some of
the things that were happening
I VTris :oth impressed and dis-
appointed, and about the same
issue. ,
I am very happy that an eval-
uation of the college commu-
nity is being made and will be
completed in the latter part
of February. Of course many
evaluations have been made be-
fore (by students and faculty
alike) but what is most excit-
ing about this evaluation is
that it is being done by an
independent firm. I am of tiie
belief that this firm will
come up with little new, that
is information and evaluation,
that
unity members have
not already come up with. Of
course that remains to be seen
but i ■' . :-}r2 right T do hope

Since coming to Maryville
College, I have heard many
complaints about the lack of
social activity and the need
for "som.ething to do" after
"lass hours. Now, through your
. committee, we have a chance to
. tackle the problem in a real-
istic fashion; however, taking
a look around campus at the
•, efforts x-jhich are currently
being made, I am reminded of
' the observation that "a camel
horse that was designed
by a committee." In other words
everybody is niaking their ef-
fort to improve the social at-
mosphere, but the uncoordinated
design that is being created
looks an awful lot like a cam-
el to mo .
Item #1: Couv^erts, pop and
otherwise. . .After working with
the Artist Series for a yet-\r
and looking at the prices
charged by groups and individ-
uals with any sort of renown,
I an forcei" ^■-< take a realis-
tic point o; view that either
we rharg( 10.00 a ticket to
get the big names or we con-
duct a series featuring rela-
tively unknown performers in a
variety of programt" designed
for the benefit . ..r faculty
and student hich can be ob-
tained at a pi v.'e can af-
ford. There il uu walkable
middle roaa. in the area of
Pop Concer!. . face the same
situation. The really big
"name" groups are In the S5000-
S12,Q00 rani- ■ ven while

dly i ew ^.'m . _ to SDonscr
this kinu -. , group on our cam-
pus, T r-T'l"^' wish that we were
able I .ci,.v .. mature attitude
tovja^ 1 '■ 'i-:^ nay to ourselves
and owi. i.i^^ii .~,^,iiool classmates
back home: "We are too small a
college '- swing that kind of
deal rii^iii.. now."
This rambling commientary is
not without .1 solution. In
fact there several: 1) The
College could hire a Director
of Student Activities and
Special Events. Before someone
yells "MONEY" may I point to
the wav in which this works on
other campuses where this sort
of fellow jirl) lives in
the dorm and replaces the
traditional housemother, thus
serving two f auctions. However
it would be m: ^ry that he
be gi^^cn the full authority to
coorc_;._ rrnrrrams, concerts,
dances, etc., and to say to
all c f us t h ing s like: "You
are cutting your own throat if
you plan two expensive con-
certs and two movies in one
weekl"
Solution #2 rests in taking
a long and satisfactory look
at our big neighbor across
the way called the Knoxville
Civic Coliseum. Before somebody
screams "UT" at me, may I re-
mind you here that the Univer-
sity and the Civic auditorium
are not one and the same. The
accivitie ^ored there are
as much for the people of Mary-
ville as for the people of
Knoxville. As to the wealth of
programs there, you can see
anything you want, such as re-
cent Broadway plays, good
symphonie^^ ^'^■' voc^ilists, and
this year lu. .e were five pop
concerts, the last one in the
series coming up on
Feb.
when Gary Puckett and the U-^
nion Gap will be appearing. ^^
Prices are not unreasonable at
$3.00, $4.00, and $4.50. In
fact, if we could afford to
charge less than that tl.e com-
puters are all off I!
Ivlien I have dared to speak
of these things in public, I
have encountered arguments to
the effect that we would be
abandoning our student body to
the wiles of Knoxville and
that we would becomiC a "bed-
room" school to UT. However,
if we stopped saying "no" and
tried "why not" we might ^ind
that we could arrange a ticket
subsidy from our activity fee
for some of the Knoxville con-
certs, therefore m.aking our
community - -^ their spon-
sorship (so ^^ou could go home
to Philly cr Miamd and say
"guess who V7c had for concerts
this year") , vie might also ar-
range for a r-harter bus if
that was deemed necessary to
provide transportation for our
non-driving students.
These are only a few of the
possibilities, if ve only take
a look at who we are: Mary-
ville College.... a small col-
lege... with good neighbors.
L,acv Proffitt
I am the one who wrote the
"Dearly Beloved" article last
week, and I think it served
its purpose by raising a few
eyebrows, raising some inter-
est, or getting some people
mad at me or at the "system").
I am now not so worried about
visitation not passing as I am
about the form it will take
when it is passed. I'm afraid
they will try to make do, or
"experiment," with a very,
verv restricted form of visit-
ation, more specifically, a
form allowing it on Sat. and
Sun. only. That, to me, is
missing the whole point of
visitation. For one thing, it
cuts out almost entirely the
"normalcy" of the situation.
It keeps visitation as some-
thing special, something giv-
en to us as a special privi-
lege rather than a right. It
also cuts out the idea that
this will be an optional study
area (instead of in the libra-
ry, which seems to be the only
other place on campus specif-
ically built for any kind of
com.munal study) and an option-
al relaxation area (instead of
the student center or the dorm
lounges) .
As I see it, if visitation
is made a "special" thing for
weekends only, it will be used
as a "special" thing, for week-

ends only (which might please
some detracters of the idea,
for then the kids would be
more likely to do Just as they
were afraid they would, namely
substitute the room for the
fields. Unless it is opened
up completely, (meaning a
very substantial period of
every day of the week) we will
have merely legislated in a
system of regularly scheduled
open houses, leaving very lit-
tle room for the original con-
cept, a normal relationship
between students without dis-
crimination as to sex, to grow.
I understand that the proposal
is coming out of committee,
possibly for the Friday ACC
meeting. If you're interested

JAMES SHOWALTER
i stand looking at you
Maryville College in utter
disgust I You claim to be
one of the few leaders in
higher education and govern-
mental structure, yet you
let your children starve to
death with the bloated need
for social updating. The
Mickey Mouse government of
All College Council pounces
viciously on any tid-bit of
academia, but when it comes
to action on a social issue
such as visitation, it sud-
denly contracts polio, T.B.,
Cerebral Palsy, and Cancer
with a slight but signifi-
cant touch of Yellow Jaun-
dice.
You hire a consultant and
he tells it like it is; and
many of our "leaders" choose
to close their virgin ears
to its implication and say,
"It's not so." Do you real-
ly think that this profes-
sional is so biased and anti-
Maryville that he is going
to bother taking a side on
the issue of whether this
college is dying or not?
How long did he say we had;
even with A million dollars
in securities? Are you real-
ly so naive to think that
the students of this school
will sit passively back and
let you kill visitation?
Oh, but I've seen your
tactics at work before. You
take an issue which is Hot,
and talk it to death, or
send it back to committee,
or bloat it as a moral issue,
or keep it hush I hush I, or
pull a fast tricky maneuver
in parliamentary procedure
Which fakes everyone out un-
til it's too late. Sure,
that's all "community ac-
tion." And yet you can sit
there with a straight, pious
face and look into the Bia-
fran eyes of Social Starva-
tion on this campus and say,
"Forgive them when they
plead for visitation, for
they know not what chey do."

DISGUSTEDl I
This letter was to have
appeared in last week's ECHO.
What is going on at MC right
now that is excitiag? In a
state of apathy you may say
nothing. Or, in a aarrow-mind-
ed condition you may say only
the much talked about "rele-
vant" issues of moral, free-
dom, justice, the importance
of the individual — all the "in"
topics. Yet, it may be the so-
called smaller things in life
(as opposed to many high ideals
that never come into actuali-
ty) that come into actuality
and make up the whole of the
individual that are more im-
portant. MC is chock full of
these smaller cogs in a big
wheel just waiting for pent up
individuals looking for an
outlet to take advantage of.
Don't turn off yet! One such
activity is the decoupage
group. Sound enticing? Well,
it could be if you gave it a
chance. If you've seen those
shiny decorating plaques in
the store with a bird or flow-
er design on them, then you'avf
seen the finished product of
decoupage. It is an old art
that originated in France
where furniture was trimmed
with small painting and gilt.
And now, especially in the
past five years, decoupage has
found many dabblers in the
U.S. To be sure, by the year
1970 it has grown to include
a vast variety of objects be-
sides furniture. One can air
his painting or designing urge
on boxes, purses, statue fig-
ures, glass, trays, plaques or
on practically anything his
imagination wishes.
Decoupage is not only an
outlet for a certain few per-
sons hut it can be used to
make original gifts. Or, it
can be utilized ^k a profit-
able money vent-
Tliis microcosm! , 5- 'up in a
macrocosmic world just may be
something that will enrich"
your life. If you are inter-
ested or just waat more in-
formation, get in touch with
Mrs. Pope (Dorm \Il Housemoth-
er) who heads the group. There
is a basic cost for certairil#«
materials but they go a long
way. The decoupage group meets
in Fayerweather 207 every Tues- 1

The Maryville College Thea- |
ter Group is now in rehearsals ;
for the production of Eugene >
O'Neil's classic play. Desire i
Under the Elms, to be present- :
ed on February 20 and 21 at
8:15 p.m. in the college thea-
ter.
This is a powerful play a-
bout a group of people carried
away by a torrent of emotions
on a New England farm.
The cast is made up of
Ephraim Cabot who, well along
in years, is bringing a third
wife, much younger than him-
self, to his home. Eben, a son
by Cabot's second wife, is de-
termined to stay and fight
this new rival for his father's
land. Abbie Putman, Ephraim' s
third wife played by Diane
Wood, is a cold and masterful
woman who uses Eben to insure
her rights to the Cabot Farm.
Stuart Smith has been cast
as Ephraim Cabot and Paul
Hindman as Eben. Others in
the cast include James Sto^/art,
Carl Sutton, Judy Carroll,
John Chism, Joel Tome, Harry
Weisgerber, Mark Mertz, Carol- ;
ie Fisher, Donald Hand, Duncan
Randall, Dawn Sterling and Sue
Ellen Smith. This production
is under the direction of
Thomas E. Jones, who is as-
sisted by Larry Forte.
The author, Eugene O'Neil,
has generally been regarded as
one of America's greatest
playwrights. He has received
four Pulitzer Prizes and was
awarded the Nobel Prize for
literature in 1936.
Desire Under the Elms has
been regarded as one of 0 -
Neil's most important plays.
It helped explode the illusion
that rural life in America was
all sweetness and light, and
that only in the big cities
were crimes of passion ever
committed.

SCORE
In recent basketball action
the Scots were two and one.
The defeat was by Bryan 85-83,
there on Monday. Last week
Maryville beat Johnson Bible
College 98-69 and Warren Wil-
son 83-75.
Against Johnson Bible Col-
lege, Scots stormed out to a
40-11 lead after nine minutes
of play. Mike Barrows led the
early barrage with 21 ppints
and John Weston added 16 points.
Coach Baird put the reserves
in and they kept up the pace
building up a 66-36 half time
lead. The Scots in the second
half were never pressed and
won 98-69. In addition to
Mike and John the scoring was:
Dildine 2, Mize 8, McKinstry
10, Fox 23, Arlington 2, Bible
2, Boggs 2, Hickman 4. Warren
Morgan was down with flu and
did not play.
Saturday the Sects, playing
without Morgan, Hickman, and
Arlington beat Warren Wilson
83-75. The Scots trailed ear-
ly in the first half, but took
the lead late in the half and
were never headed afterwards.
John Weston scored 20 points
and got 14 rebounds, Mike Bar-
rows tallied 19 points and
picked off eleven muffs. The
rest of the scoring was Dil-
dine 9, Mize 10, McKinstry 19,
Fox 6.
Monday the Scots played Bry-
an. The boys with the flu
were still out and Steve Boggs
became the fourth victim. The
ball game was close from the
opening. The largest lead was
seven points. The Scots led
51-46, but foul problems plagued
them throughout the second
half. Barrows and Weston
played much of the second half
with four fouls. * Bryan took
the lead 82-81 on a field goal
by Roddy with a minute remain-
ing. After a missed shot Bry-
an was fouled and upped their
lead to 3 points. Bob Fox
closed the lead to one, but a
free throw at the buzzer ended
the hopes of the Scots. The
scoring was Barrows 19, Mize
10, Weston 9, McKinstry 27,
Dildine 12, Fox 6, Cox 0.
The LMU Railsp litters used
their superior height and hot
shooting to subdue the Scots
94-86. After a close first
half the Railsplitters broke
the game open and the Scots
could never catch up. Rick
Trivet t scored 30 for LMU. The
Scots scoring was: Morgan 17,
Barrows 4, McKinstry 6, Weston
16, Dildine 8, Hickman 7, Mize
17, Fox 11.
Last Saturday night Emory
and Henry sparked by a 30 point
performance by Pat Burns were
able to edge the Scots 65-60.
Many times the Scots got close
but could never take the lead
in the second half. With 30
seconds left the Scots trailed
by one . but as had been the
case all night Burns added four
points to ice the verdict. For
the Scots, Morgan had 13, Wes-
ton 13, Barrows 8, Hickman 11,
Mize 4, Dildine 4, McKinstry
5, Fox 2.
Tuesday night, the Mars Hill
Lions hitting a torrid 60%
from the field in the first
half, helped them to a 109-90
victory. Although the Scots
hit a good 48% they were never
able to cut into the lead as
despiie flu ^
mendce
the Lions hit equally well in
the second half. For the Lions
Dick Mayozer got 30 and Jim
Wilmouth topped all scorers
with 34. For the Scots: Wes-
ton 11, Morgan 11, Barrows 18,
Mize 9, McKinstry 29, Dildine
6, Fox 4.

Dr. Carl Alette, a 1942
graduate of Maryville College,
has composed a symphony for
concert band in honor of Mary-
ville College's Sesquicenten-
nial which will be premiered
at the College Saturday, Feb-
: ruary 7, at 8:15 p.m.
I The composition "Symphony
I for Band" will be performed by
; the Maryville College Concert
j Band under the direction of
I Dan B. Stallings, assistant
I prof essor of music. The pro-
. gram will also include the
work of another graduate,

' tor of music. Union University,
j Jackson, Tenn., and an arrange-
ment by Maryville College sen-
ior Harry E. Weisgerber, Cher-
ry Hill, N.J. ^
The composition which Dr.
Alette has written for Mary-
ville College is approximately
15 minutes in length. There is
no program or story associated
with the music. The music is
continuous although it , has
within it a number of differ-
ent moods. The first portion
of the composition is a slow,
solemn section which serves as
a kind of introduction. Next
comes a more rapidly flowing ^i<^tioi\ .
section which is followed by a
quicker march-like section and
finally a Finale which con-
tains fugal writing and also a
restatement of some of the ma-
terial of the introduction.

REVIEW... i
*NoqG'6 Fludde"
bq Aphrodite
Jones
i
Having been introduced to
miracle plays in sophomore
English and Benjamin Britten
in high school chorus, it was
interesting to see how Britten
expressed Noye's Fludde music-
ally. It was not a disappoint-
ment. The music captures both
the intensity of the God-man
relationship and the light-
heartedness of man's relation-
ships with his neighbors and
family and at the same time
makes the story cohesive.
The college production was a
continuation of the spirit of
cooperation which produced the
first miracle plays, with more
members of the Maryville com-
munity present to see the good
in our community on the hill
than at any other CIV.
The sung dialogue was some-
times not distinguishable over
the orchestra which is sad be-
cause Britten is a good vocal
composer and the anachronisms
and middle English of the mir-
acle plays were missed. How-
ever, the music and actions
were expressive, and the well
known story not hard to follow.
The set and lighting were ex-
cellent and in keeping with
the mood of the play. The
whole performance had a great
deal of spirit and succeeded
in capturing the audience.

Roberta Howie Phay, assis-
tant professor of art at the
University of Mississippi, a
sculptor and a painter, has an
exhibit in the Fine Arts Cen-
ter Gallery at Maryville Col-
lege during the month of Feb-
I? ruary .
The exhibit includes a se-
lection of her sculpture. She
sculptures in ceramic, cast
I stone, bronze and aluminum
1 forms which she sometimes com-
bines with wood, welding or
paintings. She has used relig-
ious symbolism on several of
^her ceramic reliefs. All of
i her ceramic sculpture is made
j from unglazed native Missis-
I sippi clay which she colors by
\ adding oxides and other color-
• ing agents to the clay before
she fires it.
j Mrs. Phay, a 1936 graduate
* of Maryville College, holds
: the M.Ed, and M.F.A. degrees
' from the University of Missis-
' sippi. She is a member of the
board of the Southern Associ-
ation of Sculptors and a member
of the Southeastern College
Arts Conference and is listed
j in Who's Who of American Wom-
en.
In 1967 Mrs. Phay worked on
a University of Mississippi
faculty research grant entitled
"Foam Vaporization Casting of
Cellular Expanded Polystyrene"
and later experimented with
the foam vaporization casting
of polystyrene into bronze.
La Revue Moderne, an art
magazine published in France,
chose Mrs. Phay and her work
for their May 1968 article on
"Southern Sculpture." Her work

"Fihle of the Ariiinal S( Ihh)!"
Onte upon a time, the animals drciiled they must ilo sonjcfhing heroic to meet the
problems of the "ucw world," so they organized a sihool. They adopted an activity
curriculum consisting ot running, climbing, swimming, and flying and, to make it easier to
administer, all the animals took ail the subjects.
The duck was excellent in swinuning, better in fact than his instructor, and made passing
grades in flying, but he was very poor in ruiming. Since he was slow in miming, he had to
stay after school and also drop swimming to practice rumiing. This was kept up until his
web feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming, lint average was
acceptable in school, so nobody worried about that except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top ot the class in rumiing, but had a nervous breakdown
because ot so much make-up work in swimming.
The squirrel was exccIicMi in climbing until he dc vchip; d frustration in the flying class
where his teacher made him start from the ground-up instead of from the tree-top down.
He also developed a chailic horse from over exertion and then got a C in climbing and D
in running.
The eagle was a problem child .iiid was disciplined severely. In the climbing class he beat
all the others to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way to get there.
At the end of the year, an abnormal eel that could swim exceedingly well, and also run.
climb, and fly a little held the highest average :.iid was valedictorian.
The Prairie dogs stayed out of school and fought the tax levy because the administration
would not add digging and burrowing to the curriculum. They apprenticed their children
to a badger and later joined the groundhogs and gophers to start a successful private
school.
Does this fable have a moral?

In commemoration of Black History Week, February 8-14, the ed-
itor of the ECHO would like to acknowledge the black students
of Maryville College. In his following remarks, Larry McDow-
ell, a freshman, points out the increasing need of black stu-
dents and black faculty at Maryville College.
Many people will boastfully
say that Maryville College is
an integrated institution.
They think this statement is
true because there are sixteen
black students enrolled here.
Sixteen black students in com-
parison to the number of whites
here on campus is not integra-
tion, it is a form of token-
ism. A large enough number for
us to be comfortable among
ourselves, but a small enough
number to limit our involve-
ment in the community life.
Our existence here goes prac-
tically unnoticed. We have no
strong representation because
we are too small in number to
be represented. There is noth-
ing here that we can relate to
our environment. We are being
conditioned to live in an all-
white society.
Since I have been here at
Maryville I feel myself losing
mental contact with the black
community. There will be those
who will ask, "Why don't you
go to a black school?" The
purpose of integration should
be to bridge the gap of commu-
nication between the races. I
would like to know more about
all of the people that make up'
my environment. Here at Mary-
ville, there is no compromise.
Black students are forced to
cross the bridge of communica-
tion and learn only the way in
which whites communicate. If
this were an integrated insti-
tution, there ^ould be a^ com-
promise of ideas, both black
and white.
Integration of Maryville
College would require not only
an increase in the number of
black students, but also an
integration of faculty and ad-
ministration— of ideas and
courses in the curriculum.
There should be an emphasis on
blackness not only in the form
of a Black Studies program,
but, incorporated in the pres-
ent curriculum studies. Believe
it or not there is more to
black people than riots, rev-
olution, and demonstrations.
There are more important blacks
besides Booker T. Washington
and Martin Luther King, Jr.
The black students here at
Maryville need understanding
and leadership. The type of
leadership and understanding
that only a black could give.
There is no one that can coun-
sel us here at Maryville.
There are many that will sym-
pathize with our problems and
lead us in their own ways. It
would be foolish to say that
we are the same. Blacks and
whites are exactly opposite in
many aspects.
If Maryville College contin-
ues to front as an integrated
institution, then why not in-
tegrate? Don*t segregate us
from the community and our
culture. Help us become a part
of the community. I am asking
that Maryville College let me
graduate a satisfied well-edu-
cated Black man, instead of a
well-conditioned Uncle Tom.

Everyone is welcome to come
and spend from a few minutes
to an all nighter with us.
Come help us "Pray for Peace.

In today's rapidly changing
world, we students must be
trained to take our place as
adults. The uneducated will
have no place, neither will
those unprepared in basic at-
titudes to understand and re-
spect the difference of others .
Only a truly integrated educa-
tion can properly prepare us
to function with dignity in
our society.
We need some sort of academ-
ic adjustment, first of all.
At the meeting last Tuesday
of the Maryville-Alcoa Welcome
in both opinions and programs, ^g^^^^ Newcomers Club, Dr. and
I'm not asking for separate ^^^^ Malcolm M. Willey de-
scribed the problems confront-
ing an American family while
living in India. Dr. Willey is
visiting professor and chair-
man of the department of soci-
ology at Maryville College.
For five years the Willey
family lived in Calcutta where
Dr. Willey served as an edu-
cational specialist with the
Ford Foundation.
In presenting their program.
Dr. Willey spoke first of the
contrasts that characterize
India .... ranging from the geo-
graphical to the social and
economic. "India," said Dr.
Willey, "not only includes 40
mountain peaks that are over
24,000 feet tall, but also
arid plains and deserts; its
weather ranges from the freez-
ing snows of the Himalyas to
the tropical climates of the
south." "More important," he
added, "are the great contrasts
in social conditions repre-
sented by fabulous wealth of a
few and the miserable poverty
of the many."
Mrs. Willey discussed* how an
American adjusts to such con-
ditions as described by Dr.
Willey. It was her observation
that for a western family,
life in Calcutta could be rel-
atively easy and pleasant, but
for most Indians, there was a
-— CQn-t-"cA pq. 14- . coU>^\ —
asking for separa
Black Studies, but an incor-
poration of Black Culture into
our predominantly Anglo-Ameri-
can oriented subject matter.
Where are the Black authors in
American Lit.? Were there any
other important Negro leaders
between Booker T. and Martin
L.? How would History 101 be
interpreted if taught by a
Black professor?
Who can say that lack of cul-
tural information does not in-
jure the Black students here
at M.C.? Already blasted by
prejudice, they cannot help
but feel shut out from various
opportunities. Sixteen is not
an adequate number for any
kind of socializing. The lim-
ited number of Black students
on this campus seems to be a
token gesture of the white
neo-liberalism here. We do not
seem to realize that making
them Uncle Toms is widening
their separation from the com-
munity, thus postponing that
reconciliation of the races
which hopefully is yet to come.

Well the time has finally
come I Sponsored by People for
Peace and working with the
Blount County Community Action
Committee, a group of students
offered their services to
clean up a few homes in the
Maryville-Alcoa community. The
first time was a little dis-
heartening but we have kept
the faith and are going to go
out again this Saturday, Feb-
ruary 14. Our purpose is to
show the people of Maryville-
Alcoa that we do care if they
live in a bug infested house
or if their children don't
know how to wash their faces
properly. There is so much
good that we could do if we
only had the man and woman po-
wer to do it with. We are
asking the people who went in
January to get together with
other members of their group
and go back to the house they
went to. If you are interest-
ed in helping, sign up on the
sheet in the post office or
contact Melissa Collins by

The Scots* record stands at
9-11 after three recent games.
The Scots dropped a 79-69 de-
cision to Lee College, 96-87
to Centre, and then avenged an
earlier defeat by downing Bry-
an 82-77.
The Lee College game was
close all the way until the
last minute. The Scots could
never get the lead in the sec-
ond half and as a result had
to gamble for the ball. Lee
took advantage of this and a
few more unlucky breaks as
they increased the margin to
ten. The Scots* scoring was
Barrows 15, Weston 15, Mize 14,
McKinstry 10, Morgan 9, Dildine
4, Hickman 2.
The Centre College Colonials
took advantage of their hot
shooting and a leaky Scot de-
fense to pin a 96-87 setback
on the Scots. After trailing
by thirteen points, the Scots
put on a comeback and took a
65-64 lead with ten minutes to
go. But at that point the Scots
went cold and some costly
turnovers gave the Colonials
a lead they never relinquished .
The Scots were pacea oy uau
McKinstry with 28, followed by
Mize with 19, Morgan 11, Bar-
rows 12, Dildine 1, Fox 3,
Hickman 4, Weston 9.
The Scots got revenge on
Bryan, here Monday 82-77. Al-
though the score looks close,
the game was really not much
of a contest. At one stage the
Scots led by 25. The Scots
used a 52% shooting percentage
with some slick passing to get
the lead and then build. Mike
Barrows tallied 19, McKinstry
15, Dildine 13, Mize 10, Wes-
ton 8, Hickman 6, Morgan 9,
Fox 2. Cox, Arlington, Bible,
Boggs all played, but did not
score.
Last night the Scots played
Milligan here. On Saturday,
they play Tusculum College. On
Monday, the Scots close out
their home schedule when they
then entertain the Mars Hill
Lions. Thursday the Scots tra
vel to Emory and Henry and the
Scots close their schedule
next Saturday in Chattanooga
against Tenn. Temple College.

continuous struggle to main tain
bare existence.
In concluding. Dr. Willey
summarized the major problems
facing India: how to bring a
nation that is 70 percent il-
literate up to modern educa-
tional standards; how to in-
crease the food supply so that
millions will not live as they
now do on the brink of starva-
tion; how to control the birth
rate which adds more than 12
million a year to the popula-
tion; and how to achieve na-
tional integration in a coun-
try that is badly divided by
language and political dif-
ferences .
"The significance of these
problems," Dr. Willey said,
"becomes all the more evident
to anyone who has for five
years lived in India and then
moves to enjoy the kind of
life that is offered in such a
community as Maryville-Alcoa.
It takes a residence abroad to
make one fully appreciate the
blessings we here enjoy."

p.m. The Hilltop Singers, well known in
the Knoxville area, sang this past summer
at The Porch in Gatlinburg. From Bir-
mingham Southern University, The Hill-
top Singers have an ear for the kind of
sound enjoyed most by college audiences.
Their program includes a wide range of
folk and popular music presented in a
soft and easy style.
The Hilltop Singers now have three
LP albums out, and the latest of these,
"Sunrise Row" will be on sale at the
concert.
Tickets are on sale now in the Theatre
Office or in the lobby of Pearsons during
meals. Both $2.50 and $1.50 seats are
available. Be sure to make your reserva-

OUR UNORTHODOX JUNIOR CLASS DOES IT AGAIN
The Junior Class has something to
say. At a rather unorthodox gathering
Wednesday February 18, a group of
about 60 juniors, responding to a called
class meeting, expressed a general unan-
inity of feeling on at least two issues.
The first issue that was discussed is
probably the most urgent and vital to the
very survival of mankind. This problem
is aptly labeled "the danger from the
three swords of Damocles": pollution,
population, and the threat of nuclear
war. Politically, we think (1) any legis-
lator or executive who is uninformed
about or apathetic toward these vital
issues is unfit for public service; (2) im-
mediate steps should be taken to end the
arms race and reduce nuclear stockpiles
because it is universally recognized there
will be no victor in event of a nuclear
war, only universal death and misery;
(3) immediate steps should be taken to
educate the population of the world in
general and the U.S. specifically to the
colossal dangers from these three human
blights; (4) any governmental action
which does not, at its core, have the al-
leviation of these dangers, is inappropri-
ate and is not action which serves the
best interests of 200 million people in the
U.S. nor 3 billion people in the world; or
in other words, we are basically hostile
toward government officials who prac-
tice politics to promote their own self
interests and ignore the more urgent
needs of people
The most immediate result of the
preceding discussion was a determina-
tion by several juniors to take positive
action to aid in the environmental edu-
cation program at Tremont and to in-
itiate a drive to devote the entire day of
April 22 to clean up the Maryville College
campus. Also, a letter will soon be dis-
tributed to one or more members of
Congress indicating Maryville College Ju-
nior Class's feeling about the issues men-
tioned above.
The academic controversy represented
CAMPUS CLEANED UP
The campus looks better now than
it did last week. Discarded paper, cello-
phane wrappings, and junk mail have
begun to disappear at last from the
campus lawn and shrubberies. The glint-
ing pavement of viciously shattered glass
surrounding Dorm III has been picked up
to let the grass show again. Even the trash
heaps left by workers at the new P.E.
facility have diminished. Why?
Hopefully, this clean-up marks a trend.
It was inspired probably by those spirited
few who last Saturday morning quietly
filled buckets and buckets with litter
they picked up on campus. They neither
want nor expect praise. After all, they
live here.

"DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS"
REVIEWED
This past weekend theater-goers were
given an especially effective presentation
by the Maryville College Playhouse of
Eugene O'Neill's powerful drama "Desire
Under the Elms." The performance Fri-
day night was quite good, and the audi-
ence responded accordingly. However, it
was to the sadly unresponsive Saturday
night audience that the best performance
was given.
Jim Stewart and Carl Sutton were ex-
cellent as the earthy, hopeless, hard-
working sons of a dictatorial father,
and Stuart Smith's interpretation of this
"hard" man was particularly convincing.
It is, however, to the leading couple,
Diane Wood and Paul Hindman, that the
highest praise must go, for it was their
powerful performance that pulled the au-
dience into the tragedy, Paul vividly por-
trayed the inner conflicts of the s/acil-
lating Eben, and Diane was superb as the
security-seeking stepmother who finds
her real "home" in her love for Eben.
The merit of all these performers deserves
recognition.
Once again, Tom Jones has presented
the community with an excellent drama-
tic experience. His performances demand
praise and a request that his efforts
continue.

the second issue discussed. It was gen-
erally agreed that academic buck passing
on the part of students represents a
shirking of responsibility, which probably
represents one of the main reasons that
many of the faculty have copped out on
the purpose of the new curriculum.
Students: With taxation goes repre-
sentation: true. But along with repre-
sentation goes responsibility equal to
that of faculty. There are 700 of us and
until a large majority of that 700 want
to exercise their prerogatives as individ-
uals and be individuals in the fullest
sense, until then, there will be no change
—only rearrangement. You have to decide
what you want then you can dialogue
and act.

all classes. For further information see

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
I get the impression some people are
really oblivious to what the sixteen black
students on campus actually want. Dr.
Love's sarcastic letter to the editor last
week, describing how he in the future
would notice the blacks, was degrading,
insulting, offensive, humiliating, unappre-
ciated (!) by all colors, and absolutely
absurd. What did he think his letter
would accomplish? Did he expect to
endear himself to the black population
on campus? If so, he utterly failed.
Why should any of us fair-skinned,
blue-eyed, straight-haired people recall
and rub in the disgusting treatment of
one human being for another which was
so prevalent and is finally and gradually
changing? We should be just as ashamed
of our audacity and presumptuousness
as the blacks are of their ancestral ser-
vility.
Sarcasm has its place and can be very
effective. Parts of this letter are no doubt
sarcastic since this has become such a
popular form of expression. However, the
consequences of Dr. Love's "putting
blacks in their place" hardly seems worth
the effort he took to write the letter;
certainly, no positive outcome that the
letter might have intended can outweigh
the hurt, disappointment, and bitterness
the blacks felt last Friday after reading
the Echo. Any moderately sensitive in-
dividual was aware of the immediate
"down" this minority of our students
experienced. Usually out of common
courtesy a person will avoid subjects
or comments about which he knows
another person is defensive.
I admit that since my face is white
I cannot empathize with the blacks. I
cannot understand completely the pres-
sures they feel and their desires; but
just because we do not understand ex-
actly their feelings, let us not turn a
deaf ear and a hard heart to them.
We must still try! We are too insensitive
to everyone as it is, so let us show we
care about humanity by beginning to pay
some past debts to biack people. I think
the first thing we owe is respect, especi
ally instead of sarcasm and entertainment
at their expense.
Diane Humphreys
To the Editor:
I cannot maintain silence in the face
of Norman D. Love's recent letter to the
Echo. But I wish to speak to him out of
my reality as a white person and the
values held in common by both of us as
white persons. I wish to speak to him
in the name of reason which is a white,
Western value. I know that Dr. Love
shares this value; he is a physicist! The
insensitive and unfortunately sarcastic
language of his letter notwithstanding,
there is a rational argument lying behind
his words. That it is inappropriate and
fallacious is not difficult to show.
Dr. Love implies with his words that
no human being should be treated any
different than any other human being.
He sarcastically reminds us that the ra-
cial problem in our time arises precisely
out of the treatment of human beings
in a "special way." He potently suggests
that the Black man's request for "special
treatment" now and on our campus is
illegitimate, for after all, ONE HUMAN
REALITY IS THE SAME AS ANOTHER
HUMAN REALITY.
But Dr. Love betrays his seduction by
mathematics and physics and his ignor-
ance of humanities and history. One sim-
ply has to ask, what kind of reality
can be assumed to be of one kind, so
that any individual of that family of
reality is to be treated with the same
operations as any other individual? Ob-
viously such things as particles of energy
and quantities of mathematics (though I
wonder if even here this is in fact so).
But a human reality is not of this kind.
A human reality is at its heart temporal,
that is, historical. This means the reality
of each individual human as well as
groups of humans who consciously iden-
tify themselves as such is formed out of
complex yet specific biological, social,
economic, political, cultural structures ■
and values. To respond intelligently to
human reality is to respond to these
specifics in a constructive and creative
manner, aiming towards the ever-expand-
ing of life-forces for these persons. To
Dr. Love, I say that this ratiorta! grasp
of reality as historical and thus actually
different demands the principle of SPE-
CIAL TREATMENT. For example, to
recognize Black students as individual
persons is to be sensitive to the fact that
they exist in the middle of an historically
racist American culture. They should be
met with my awareness of them as per-
sons whose historical need at this point
in their history is a sense of racial worth
and value (over against the historical
depreciation of their racial worth). In
like manner, to encounter White Ameri-
cans as persons is to meet them with
the awareness that they, too, have their
personal sense of worth out of the
structures and values of an historically
racist American culture. Black students
deserve treatment academically as stu-
dents who are searching ror their sense
of racial worth, and that may mean hav-
ing a Black faculty member, more Black
studies, more awareness of the kind of
future into which they must go when
they leave Maryville and how we can
be.st help them to have the tools for
that future. In like rTianner, White stu-
dents deserve treatment academically as
students who need to discard their racist
inheritance, no matter how superficially
or hovv/ deeply it belongs to them. This
may mearj that there should be courses
in the nature of prejudice, more listening
to Black voices instead of leacting to
them.
By all means, Dr. Love, the Biack
students, the White students and any
group of students we have deserve SPE-
CIAL CONSTRUCTIVE ATTENTION
SIMPLV BECAUSE THEY ARE PER
SONS . . . HUMAN. In similar fashion
you as a physicist deserve the special at-
tention of a philosopher in this matter,
and I a philosopher deserve the special
attention of a physicist in matters of
atomic physics, for our needs for life-
giving elements are in fact quite differ-
ent. Peace
Esther C. Swenson
Dear Editor,
First of all I would like to thank Dr.
Love for making his sarcastic remark
about the blacks here on campus because
it means that we only have to be em-
barrassed 68 more times, since it seems
to be the thing for the faculty to get its
laughs at our expense.
His article was explained to me as
being written to tell the blacks here on
campus that we shouldn't look upon
ourselves different but should conform
to the community. In order for me or
any black student to do that he has to
be blind, deaf, and above all insane.
Because (1) we're not wanted here, (2)
we refuse to become "uncle toms." And
for these reasons we can not, and will
not conform to this community. Per-
sonally I feel that if i conformed to
this community it would be mental sui-
cide, because it would take away my
awareness of who 1 am and what I
represent and that is exactly what the
white man wants because then he will
be able to boast 'well that's another
nigger we don't have to worry about
causing trouble.' Sorry people, it's just
nonot going to be like that.
Ya suh we are going to get ours!
Sincerely,
Leonard McWhorter
Dear Mr. Editor,
I am writing this letter jn response to
Dr. Love's apologetic letter to the blacks
which appeared in the last issue of the
Echo.
I'll begin by stating that Dr. Love's
sarcastic attempt to evoke dialogue was
a complete failure. His letter seems to
have been misinterpreted by many whites
(blacks, once again seem to be something
for whites to laugh at) and the letter
definitely angered the black students on
this campus. If the views expressed by
GRAFITTI !
LETTERS CCmiNUED
that letter reflect the majority of opin-
ions on this campus, then our community
Is dying indeed. And, Mr. Editor, if those
views are accepted in this community.
Dr. Love should not be the only person
criticized. Simply stated, an administra-
tion which lacks the insight to provide
courses for removing the ignorance which
has been displayed by dodging the issues
of black studies and black faculty mem-
bers cannot be expected to feel different-
ly from Dr. Love, can they? Of course, I
now realize that the "Maryville way"
stresses words rather than action.
The comments made by Dr. Love have
embittered the black students because
the kind of attention which he proposes
is the kind blacks have received for the
last century. The BOY that Dr. Love
feels he is addressing has grown into a
Man who wants to make it for himself
without the Master's aid. We want you to
recognize our blackness; but we demand
that you also recognize our Manhood.
The two go hand-in-hand because color
seems to be an inescapable reality of
our society. For Dr. Love or anyone
else to be colorblind in a society where
race is relevant is not to be free but in-
sensitive. For this reason black students
everywhere are demanding that freedom
to pursue from a black perspective from
whence we came.
Black students have been placed in
a unique position in this community.
We are not just individuals attempting
to find our places in a larger white so-
ciety. Our lives, politically, socially, and
economically are dominated by white-
ness. But what about our morals and
character? Do our minds have' to be dom-
inated in this manner as well? This is my
charge, Mr. Editor. The entire "Mary-
ville way" neglects this black and white
difference in our lives. This community
is insensitive to the needs of its 17 black
students, and it refuses to let "We 17"
express exactly what that need is. Does
Maryville College have the social insight
necessary to recognize the weakness in
its system? What do you think, Mr.
Editor? Personally, I doubt it!
G. Donald Hickman
Dear Editor,
We write this letter to express our
agreement with and our thanks to Dr.
Love for his letter of last week.
Ever since the end of the Civil War
men have been striving, working, and
praying for the integration of all races,
creeds, and religions in America. Men
have hoped that one day the time would
come when all men would be equal m
their rights, and treated as such. This
has been the dream of many Americans,
black, white, red, English, German, Irish,
Chinese, Jewish, Catholic, and Protes-
tant, all of these men working together
to make America a melting pot.
We here at Maryville have an oppor-
tunity to live in such an integrated com-
munity. We will recognize anyone who
merits recognition by his deeds, words,
and actions while here at MC. We will
give you absolutely no special thought
just because your skin is darker than
mine. None whatsoever. By the same
token we will give you no special recog-
nition because your skin is as pure white
as ours.
The black man's grandparents were
slaves to plantation owners over one
hundred years ago. So what? Your skin
is black. Our skin is white. So what?
We would like to call on MC to stop
playing Marcus Garvey and black pan-
therism. We don't want a separationist
movement. Let.s totally reject special
recognition to anyone because of his
skin. Let's judge each other on merit
and we will give recognition in propor-
tion to accomplishments.
We also add as a post script that a few
people may write in to the Echo to tear
apart Dr. Love. However, we plead that
they are in the vocal minority and that
th^e emotion packed letters of hate
should not be regarded as representative
of the entire community.
Sincerely,
Dalmatian
Dear Editor,
Dr. Love's little melodrama in last
week's ECHO evoked both amazement
and concern. At first I struggled to
fathom the purpose of such an epistle,
but soon vanished such difficulty by
realizing there was none-except, perhaps
in some mysterious way, to express those
same sentiments of the contented masses:
"What are you griping about? You never
had it so good!" or maybe "What makes
you so different from everyone else?"
Certainly he is entitled to express his
opinion (God only knows, we sorely
need dialogue with the faculty), but
when such views are stated in a manner
causing an avalanche of ill feeling and
embarrassment, an explanation is war-
ranted. Would it be too much to ask
that a letter of apology, or at least
clarification, be forthcoming? Or is Mary-
ville blessed with an heir apparent to
Spiro Agnew?
Grok in fullness,
Jim Daugherty
Dear Editor,

I am not.
I'll pay for your passage back to Africa.

To All:
This is in reply to last week's "Dear
Isolated— Alias MC Community." The
writer certainly had valid reasons to be
angry— although I think the problem is a
little more personal than stated. I write
this from my own viewpoint, but I have
no doubts that there are many other
students (Maryville included) who feel
the same way.
Granted, there are many problems in
the world today which most students and
teachers are aware of. But the fact is,
for many these problems remain invisible.
Some teachers like to hide in their own
little intellectual world "with their baby."
Many students are in college only for
their own future welfare-you knoW,
"the ticket to the Good Life" bit. Nat-
urally such an internal goal will isolate
one from OUR universal problems. Their D
all-important virtue of "self-esteem" can- **
not be lowered to involve themselves
with such problems. Such an involvement
would disrupt their plans for their own
future life. Can't we be something more
constructive than an egocentric society?
Perhaps the initiation of some new
courses that are relevant to present so-
cietal problems would change this pes-
tilent attitude. But not completely. It is a
big mistake for one to attend college with
the assumption that the institution will
prepare him for what he wants to do in
life. Only YOU can adequately prepare
yourself. One who is individual and in-
telligent enough can discriminate between
what he wants to believe in and what he
doesn't want to believe in without the
feeling of being indoctrinated, such as I
hear so many students crying they are
victims of. Teachers, examine your goal
in education. Does it lie in helping to
shape the future, or did you leave it be-
hind in your little red school house?
So, to answer directly the question
"What the hell I am going to do about
it," I'll put it like this:
I see the problems that lie within me
and the world, but I am a helpless
creature to the world until I solve the
problems within me. If I can't find this
opportunity in an educational institu-
tion, then I can find it somewhere else.
Does anybody want to challenge-or
is it better to remain complacent?
Optimistic,
. . Jerrv Coooer
Dear Editor:
This article appeared in yesterday's
Auburn Plainsman, which is the news-
paper here at Auburn University. I cer-
tainly was sorry to see the portion I
have underlined in red which states that
the Auburn wrestling team "had a real
obnoxious crowd against Maryville." It
makes you feel rather funny to have
your friends tell you that now they've
heard of Maryville, and this is what
they're referring to. I hope it wasn't
as bad as it sounds, but there must have
been something to it, or he wouldn't
have stated it that way. When I was on
the wrestling team at Maryville, nothing
rubbed me the wrong way more than
an unsportsmanlike crowd. There are
always gonna be teams better than any
team fielded, but the fans can make los-
ing a lot easier by being ladies and gentle-
men about it. I like to think the student
body had good sportsmanship when we
were there a few years ago, and I'd like
to think so now. There have been a lot
of changes at Maryville, but this is def-
initely not one for the better.

(The article referred to above contained
this paragraph:
"However, co-captain Wayne Daniel
commented. 'Unfriendly fans don't seem
to bother us too much. We had a real
obnoxious crowd against Maryville, and
Milligan's crowd was pretty bad too, but
we didn't have any trouble with either
one of the teams. If anything, Bama's
crowd will make us go harder since
we've beaten them once already.' ")

SPORTS AND£
The Scots closed their season with
two defeats and finished with a 12-13
record. Thursday night the Scots were
defeated by Emory and Henry. 94-85
and Saturday night by Tennessee Temple
81-80.
In the Emory and Henry game, the
Scots held a five-point lead at the half.
But as the second half started the Scots
were plagued by fouls and some fine
shooting by Pat Burns. Maryville was
close until fouls claimed Warren Morgan,
Lynn Dildine and John Weston. Maryville
could not stop Burns besides and thus
the Wasps gained the victory. For the
winners Burns tossed in 53 points. For
Maryville Mike Barrows had 33. Weston
10. Morgan 9, McKinstry 16, Dildine 8.
Hickman 7, Mize 2.
Saturday's game was a thriller all the
way. The Scots trailed until about five
minutes left. Then Warren Morgan and
Lynn Dildine gave the Scots a two-point
lead. The Crusaders tied it and won it
on a foul shot with three seconds left.
The Scots' final effort at the hoop
popped out and the game was over. This
game marked the final game for seniors
Don Hickman, Lynn Mize, Bill Arlington,
and Captain Lynn Dildine. These guys
will be missed next year but the Scots
hopes will be high. The scoring was
Barrows 18, Morgan 20. Weston 20.
McKinstry 16. Dildine 17, Mize 1, Hick-
man 4.

Roewade's affiliation with Maryville Col-
lege. In past years she has produced two
opera presentations with the aid of Mary-
ville students. The most recent was Men-
otti's "The Consul." In addition, she has
performed for a number of local audi-
ences and appeared in a variety of noted
performances here and elsewhere.

Internationally acclaimed violinist
Charles Castleman will be the featured
soloist with the Knoxville Symphony
Orchestra in this year's final presentation
, of the Maryville College— Community Ar-
tist Series Saturday evening, March 7 at
8:15 p.m. in the Chapel.
Born in Quincy, Mass., Mr. Castleman
began piano and violin lessons at the age
of four. Two years later, he performed
with Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.
At ten, he gave a recital in New York,
and at twelve was soloist with the New
York Philharmonic. His later studies in-
cluded a liberal arts education at Harvard,
and a musical one at the Curtis Institute
in Philadelphia. Shortly after his gradu-
ation from both, he won the Silver Medal
in the 1963 Queen Elizabeth Concours
in Brussels. He also received an award at
the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow,
and thus is the only American violinist
to successfully represent the United
States in the two major international
contests.
During the past years, he has crossed
the gulf between child prodigy and
mature artist. Mr. Castleman has ap-
peared in recitals and with leading or-
chestras over all of the United States and
.Canada. In the Spring of 1968, he com-
pleted his first full tour of Europe.
Hailed by critics as a superb musician,
his appearance with the Knoxville Sym-
phony Orchestra should prove exciting
as well as enjoyable.
Under the leadership of its present
conductor, David Van Vactor, the Knox-
ville Symphony has achieved strength
and vitality as one of the ranking mu-
sical organizations in the South. Its
history spans fifty-nine years of indi-
vidual and community aspirations as
it has admirably served the musical needs
of the Knoxville area. Included in this
season's personnel are a handful of mu-
sicians who have been in the orchestra
since 1930 and a large group who have
been nurtured by the symphony since
they were first-graders and who now take
their place in the orchestra as college and
conservatory graduates in music. Also
appearing with the orchestra are Mr. Lee
Kull, violist and instructor in music at
Maryville College, and Miss Carolyn
Coles, violinist and Maryville College
music student.
MAN AND HIS ENVIRONMENT
Maryville College is continuing her
year long Sesquicentennial Celebration
and her current emphasis of "Man and
His Environment" by bringing to the
campus two distinguished guests today.
Dr. Paul B. Sears, noted conservation-
ist, spoke at the Community Issues and
Values program on "Man's Search for
Patterns in His Environment," at 9:20
a.m. in Wilson Chapel. He will spend
the rest of the day visiting informally
with students, faculty, administrators,
and community members before appear-
ing again at 8:15 p.m. in Wilson Chapel
with another distinguished guest. Dr. A.
J. Sharp, noted botanist and former
chairman of the department of botany
at the University of Tennessee.
Dr. Sears has been professor of con-
servation and chairman of the Yale Con-
servation Program from 1950 until his
retirement in June, 1960. He is past
president of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, the Ec-
ological Society of America and the
American Society of Naturalists and for-
mer chairman of the board of the Na-
tional Audubon Society. His special field
of interest is ecology— its application in
the management of natural resources,
and in the history of vegetation.
Dr. Sharp is an authority on mosses
and has conducted extensive research in
the Great Smoky Mountain National
Park, Mexico, Guatemala, and Far East
and Asian countries. His research took
him to the Hattori Botanical Laboratory
in Nichinan, Japan, in 1964-65 under a
National Science Foundation Grant.
While in the Far East he conducted
field studies in India and the Philippine
Islands. In 1968 he made botanical stud-
ies in the Aleutian Islands and Tanzania,
Africa.
He has served as president of the
Botanical Society of America and has
published 175 scientific articles and
books.
CIV credit will be given for both
the morning and evening discussions.
CALIFORNIA ART EXHIBIT
F. Herbert Hoover, a 1952 graduate of
'! Maryville College, is returning to the
campus this weekend for the Fourth
Reunion Weekend in the College's year
long celebration of its Sesquicentennial.
But he is not returning empty handed.
He is bringing a large exhibit of contemp-
orary California paintings which will
hang in the Fine Arts Center Gallery
through the month of March.
Mr. Hoover is owner of the Hoover
Gallery in San Francisco and is one of
the youngest and most successful art
dealers on the West Coast. He formerly
was director of the renowned Pomeroy
Galleries in San Francisco.
In 1968 Governor Ronald Reagan ap-
pointed Mr. Hoover to the California
Arts Commission and he is presently
serving his second term as a commis-
sioner.

Comments from the Editor's Desk-
This is the last issue of the ECHO
for winter tenn. Next week, you will go
home, to Florida, or some other exotic
place. Don't hesitate to take MC with
you. Talk up the College with your
high school friends. If you could influ-
ence 200 kids to come here next fall,
MC would be a better place at which to
learn.
Visitation seems to be working well.
There have been no reports of harems, or
other lascivious goings-on. All in all, the
old parlors have taken on a new dignity.
The only campus area which is suffering
is the student center, which reports a
loss in revenue. It even seems that the
people who were most adamandy against
visitation have become its most singular
users.
Reflecting on the Diane McKenzie
incident, I can only say that her death is
a harsh condemnation of all that is wrong
at MC. We may have a curriculum that
is designed to give us more time for in-
tensive study, but what it really leaves us
is more time to brood. We daily register
our disappointments in this educational
system. For example, who can approve
of the art history teacher who is giving
both a mid-term and a final next week
simply because he feels he should in
respect to the "system.'' How about the
seniors who want to write their special
studies for themselves, because they want
to learn; and not for their instructor who
seems to stifle their creativity? If the
pedantry doesn't reach you, the lack of
sincerity in interpersonal relationships
will. Everything from secret organiza-
tions to Just malicious gossip has some
depressing psychological effect on many
students. Maybe before we attempt to
recruit more students to Maryville, we
should examine our environment and
determine if it is sufficiently healthy to
support any more learners than it already
does.
Until next term-happy vacation. fang

(Editor's note: The following was in-
advertantly omitted from last week's
issue due to printer's error.)
Dear Editor:
The following letter is in reply to a
faculty member's "apologetic" letter
written in the last issue of the Echo. It
goes out to Dr. Love and those who
thought that his letter was worth the
ink it took to print it.
Dear Dr. Love,
I've stated recently, In an attempt to
get some black study courses and black
teachers here at MC, that there are
white students, faculty, and administra-
tive members on this campus and out in
the world who would apologize, and
sympathize, but not recognize that the
problem of race relations is THE most
serious crisis existing. Your apology for
not recognizing the black students on
campus doesn't help the problem at all,
but becomes a part of the problem.
What is needed is your ideas and thoughts
on how to cure this disease.
The "few personal gestures" of ignor-
ing us, giving us one grade lower, dirty
looks, and expecting us to say "ya suh"
that you so SINCERELY signed your
name to is the type of racist attitude that
black and white Americans throughout
the United States are fighting against
today, if it was meant to be sarcastic,
it didn't hurt my feelings nor those of
my black brothers and sisters on this
campus, for we've had 300 years of
history to adjust to such attitudes, DR.
Love. We would like to do something
about it, now!
T.C
Editor:
I have rarely seen such a variety of
misinterpretations of a single letter as
was presented in response to Dr. Love
last week. This response could have easily
been predicted, but I was appalled at the
poor quality of the misinterpretations.
While I do not share Dr. Love's motiva-
tions in writing the letter, I certainly
expected a higher caliber of response.
The only effective response was pre-
sented by Mr. Hickman.
The most disappointing letter was Dr.
Swenson's. She seems to think Dr.
Love's personal viewpoints are totally
controlled by the fact that he is a
physicist. As a matter of fact, physics'
and mathematics had very little to do
with Dr. Love's letter. His opinions are
certainly not the same as mine, yet I am
obviously "seduced" by mathematics and
physics. Additionally, the professional
physicist is not necessarily ignorant of
history and the humanities. I am not
simply a physicist, but I am an educated
member of society! Dr. Swenson thinks
physics causes physicists to generalize
beyond the recognition of individuality.
This is absurd! Any such generalization
is just as wrong in physics as in social
science. One might generalize the Amer-
ican racial situation incorrectly, but in
contrast to such an error, why not draw
an analogy with the prejudice and strife
in Northern Ireland? Certainly that sit-
uation has many parallels with the racial
struggle here. Obviously our actions
should be directed to a certain extent
by the idea of SPECIAL TREATMENT,
but why use so many irrelevant state-
ments in presenting this idea? Indeed,
why violate your own thesis in doing so?
Actually, any well-educated individ-
ual-whether his education is formal or
informal— does not need to consult a
philosopher in order to express his opin-
ions in social science. Naturally he
should communicate with experts in
other fields on points of fact that he does
not understand, but given an adequate
education on a particular matter, he
should be able to freely express himself
on that matter. If his opinions are con-
GRAFITTI !
X
tradictory to the facts, the individual is
responsible-not the profession.
As for the theme of SPECIAL
TREATMENT as voiced by Dr. Swenson
-let me remind you that exclusive use
of this idea is just as wrong as exclusive
use of generalizations. In fact, one HU--
MAN REALITY was recently effectively
expressed by one protestant in Northern
Ireland. He claimed that the reason the
Catholics there are "poor" is because
they are "basically lazy." The terrible
HUMAN REALITY here is that the prej-
udice against minority groups breeds the
same statements in Northern Ireland as in
Detroit or Memphis. How could anyone
fail to see the significance of this gen-
eralization? How wrong would you be if
you failed to take this into account in
dealing with individuals?
Any good reply to Dr. Love's letter
must not only contain a constructive
idea, but it also must be thoroughly
consistent with the constructive thought.
The only response that satisfied these
criteria was Mr. Hickman's.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Thomas L. Ferrell
ETHEL ANN'S LETTER
(continued from last week)
For New Years I was in Florence,
Italy, with a group of Belgian girls.
The beauty of the city astounded me
but the damage of American tourism
sickened me. Italian mothers cried while
carrying babies, knowing this was more
than the American heart could take.
The pudgy Italian girl, about 6 years
of age, who told me she was hungry,
was happily smoking cigarettes a few
minutes later (I was not the benefactrice).
The Americans of course thronged the
streets, their ever-ready pocketbooks hap-
pily emptying to ever-ready stores featur-
ing American Styles and American prices,

PLAYMATE POSTSCRIPT
"Sometime scholar and full-time
radical, an archetypal child of the
rock age" was how Playboy de-
scribed its December Playmate.
"Always on the move, always ready
to challenge authority, always
ready to have a good time."
A Northwestern University coed
was pictured "savoring the good
vibrations generated by thousands
of peaceniks," to establish her
credentials as a radical and, of
course, nude as the fold-out to
remove any doubt about her Play-
mate qualifications. As it turns out,
Playboy picked a real winner, or
loser. Gloria, it seems, was busted
abroad for smuggling dope. Talk
about challenge to authority.
After his graduation from Maryville
College in 1952, he studied piano with
Victor Wittgenstein. He has also studied
under the noted Russian-American sculp-
tor, Michael Von Meyer.
Maryville residents will have the priv-
ilege of hearing Mr. Hoover in a Gallery

DA VINCI EXHIBIT
The Inventive genius and - »resight of
Leonardo da Vinci, who concv ived of the
flying machine and other developments
that did not take practical form until
modern times, is depicted in an exhibi-
tion opening March 6 at the library of
Sutton Science Center on the Maryville
College campus.
If you remember da Vinci as the artist
who painted the "Mona Lisa" and "The
Last Supper," you may be surprised to
learn that he was also a scientist ahead
of his times. He defined the now every-
day principle of aerodynamic reciprocity
200 years before Newton. He devised a
parachute-or tent of oinen, as he called
it, that is said to have been used success-
fully. His aerial screw was the forerunner
of the helicopter which he foresaw, and
this screw was the prototype of today's
ship propeller as well.
The exhibition of the 15th-century
artist-scientist's work, on loan from the
department of arts and sciences of Inter-
national Business Machines Corporation,
includes 21 models built from Leonardo's
scientific and technical drawings. It will
remain at Maryville College through
March 1 7.
Models in the show include both
practical and theoretical devices. Among
them are a paddle-wheel ship, an idea
that was not successfully developed until
the advent of steam power in the 19th
century; a theoretical gear system that
produced three speeds of rotation, as in
the modern automobile transmission; and
a device for determining the tensile
strength of wire, information as essential
to the engineer five centuries ago as it is
today.
Leonardo was fascinated with the pos-
sibility of human flight, and devised
many schemes for flying machines, In-
cluding ornithopters-whose principle
support and propulsion comes from flap-
ping wings. A model of an ornithopter
in the show follows an early design call-
ing for a lattice-like wooden framework,
two movable wings, a series of ropes and
pulleys and a windlass. This was to be
operated by the flyer, lying prone in the
framework.
Although Leonardo considered war a
"bestial madness" he was one of the lead-
ing military engineers of his time, and
made innumerable sketches for weapons.
Models in the show include an armored
tank, in which he foresaw a type of ve-
hicle not extensively used until World
War I, and a scaling ladder that resembles
modern fire-fighting apparatus, but which
Leonardo designed for storming the walls
of an enemy fortress.
The first set of models of Leonardo's
work constructed in contemporary times
was built in 1938 for an exhibition in
Milan, Italy. It traveled briefly, and dur-
ing World War II was completely de-
stroyed by bombs in Tokyo. Another
group of models, built in the United
States after the war, was acquired by
IBM in 1951 and incorporated into the
company's touring exhibition program.
Recently the exhibition has been com-
pletely redesigned. The models, painted
red, yellow, blue and green, are displayed
with panels of explanatory material and
sketches reproduced from Leonardo's
notebooks. Other panels bear Leonardo's
sketches in such fields as mathematics,
optics, astronomy, botany, and city plan-
ning.
The exhibit is open in the Sutton Sci-
erice Library daily from 9:00 a.m. until
9:00 p.m.

ARIES (Mar. 21 April 20)
Heed trends for harmony and
build them up. It's a time to
give and take. Much humor
can defeat the unpleasant mo-
ments.
TAURUS(Apr. 21 May 20)
Do not form hasty opmions
based on too little knowledge
of a friend who is older and
wiser. You may lack under-
standing about certain facts.
GEMINI (May 21 June 20)
You'll have to do everything
for yourself, and that includes
making a big decision which
can change both your career
and your romantic interests.
CANCER (June21 July 22
Be strong and affirmative in
your convictions. You may
have to make your way past a
major obstacle that others have
planted to halt you.
LEO (July 23 August 22
You may have a sharp dis
appointment to bear. You can
show your strong character and
endurance by the way you
handle demands.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept. 22)
You may not quite know what
is expected of you, so take
some pains to get the facts
very clear before you start
operations with them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 Oct. 22)
Accent your self-confidence
and powers of concentration.
Be patient waiting for results.
They will come more easily
now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 Nov.22)
If your advice is asked, give it
in a very small dose. Taking
yourself too seriously can lead
to troubles.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) If you are in error,
admit it. Don't let pride keep
you from being human. Keep
your temper to a minimum
now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 Jan.
19) Hold someone to a promise
and exercise good humor about
the entire matter. You can
make a new friend by being
pleasantly insistent.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18) Keep your focus on the
practical and arrive at a useful
decision about matters now.
You may prove correct.
PISCES (Feb. 19 March 20)
Don't plan to accomplish too
much, for you could aim be-
yond your strength and even
make serious errors if you wo
too fast. Slow your pace.

of time during the summer. Lasy year's
summer term proved to be very popular
with college students and teachers. Dean
Boyd L. Daniels has announced that the
summer term will begin on Monday, June
8, and extend through Friday, August 7.
Once again the summer term will be di-
vided into three sessions of three weeks
each. A student will take only one course
per session. Classes will meet two per-
iods each day, five days a week, for ap-
proximately two and one-half hours per
day. One course credit (eqi^ to three
semester hours) may be earned in three
weeks.
Course offerings have been scheduled
to appeal to ^iifferent categories of stu-
dents:
1. Currently enrolled college students
will be able to get ahead in their academic
program or make up past deficiencies.
we are a part by providing opportunities
for area teachers to continue their ed-
ucation."
Mr. Arthur S. Bushing associate prof-
essor of English, is chairman of the sum-
mer term committee. Persons who are
interested in enrolling for the summer
term should contact the Registrar's Of-
fice immediately.
2. Entering freshmen (at Maryville
College or any other college) may begin
their college program in a more relaxed
personalized atmosphere.
3. High school graduates who have
not been able to meet college admis-

knowledge of some of the important
areas of study or to meet requirements
for keeping their certification current.
We believe that we can render an impor-

It is with great pleasure that the
United States welcomes the striking mail-
men back to work. It was quite kind of
the union to agree to return to the job in
time to celebrate with all of America that
historic date in United States History,
April 3!
If you happened to guess that today is
Pony Express Day you were absolutely
correct! On this day in the year 1860 the
first pony left St. Joseph Missouri, and
made its start for California.
Today one tends to think that the
postal employees have it rough and de-
serve to earn $4.00 per hour. But how
about the Pony Express men? They rode
day and night, all year round, no matter
what the weather. Instead of dogs biting
and barking at them they had Indians,
who liked pale-face scalps, chasing them.
Rather than hard sidewalks and picket
fences they had muddy trails and large
mountains to cross. And all of this
without a union to protect them.
And speaking of impersonal automa-
tion putting people out of jobs, think of
those horrible telegraphs that drove those
noble men off their appointed rounds.
And isn't it a shame that there was no
Federal Government Unemployment in-
surance to take care of these poor men.
It is horrible to think of it, but they had
to go out and find new jobs and work
to earn their food! Too bad they couldn't
have lived in America 1970.
And finally, this wonderful day brings
back other less pleasant memories of that
Pony Express System. Much like the U.S.
Post Office, it ran for a while with greater
expenditures than income. There was no
reform and eventually the company col-
lapsed. It is now the responsibility of the
U.S. Congress to make major changes in
our postal system before the U.S. Post
Office becomes history!
LETTERSEI
To the Student Body of Maryville College:
As a member of the U.S. Army in
Viet Nam I would like to express my-
self on two issues much thought about
over here. Atrocities of War in Viet
Nam and efforts for Peace in the United
States. These issues affect every man
over here in some way or another.
It hurts me that the news media
makes out the G.I. as a wanton killer
of innocent people. Though they may
not mean to do this it comes out this
way and it is both untrue and unfair.
Though there is no justification in it
people die in a war. Many times the
victims are the innocent. But the news
media fails to show that uncalled for
acts have happened on both sides. How
many Medevacs (helicopters carrying
wounded) have been shot down or G.l.'s
killed by mines or booby-traps? All viola-
tions of the Geneva Convention. This
isn't a plug for U.S. involvement but it
is a plug for the men who have the un-
pleasant job of being here.
Peace is something you really think
about when you don't have it. I know
I do. I only ask you to work for it
wholeheartedly. Don't go to Moratoriums
or demonstrations for peace just to make
the scene. Go with the idea that you can
do something to help. Peace starts with
the smallest element in the Community,
you the individual. Maybe there is some-
thing to the Golden Rule.

It is traditional that the Easter sunrise
service be held in the amphitheatre in the
College Woods. This Easter I attended
that service as I have the past two years
I have been here. A large white cross
stood in the grass plot below the hill, its
base covered with greens. The stream
flowed quietly by, freshened by an early
morning rain. The sun came up, and the
day began with a newness that is especi-
ally meaningful on Easter.
Later in the day, prompted by a con-
cerned housemother, I drove to the am-
phitheatre to look at the cross. My day
was shattered by what I saw. The cross
was smeared and splattered with mud,
and the greenery was torn from the base
and strewn around.
My first reaction was anger. A fury
that rarely enters my brain seethed within
me. But now my anger has turned to
pity. What sickness of the mind could
have done such a thing? What could
have prompted sucK a vicious attack on
that cross? I feel sorry for you who felt
the need to deface that cross. I know
who you are, and I am shocked and dis-
appointed. You ruined many people's
Easter with your action. You helped to
show people that the cry for responsibil-
ity on this Larnpus might go better un-
heeded. VVhatever your motive was, the
results of your actions are much more
harmful than you can imagine. You have
done nothing of constructive value, and
your behavior is disgusting.
May it comfort you to know that
there are doctors who treat people whose
troubles result in such actions. May it
also comfort you to know that the cross
which you defaced symbolizes tho cross
upon which Christ died in order that you
might be forgiven for what you have
done. fR-S.
She wanted to take a walk and so did
I. We had to. That's the way it is with
us. We're broughtup Christians, and we
knew it was Easter, We couldn't exactly
smell it in the air, but for the past few
days we had been thinking of happy lit-
tle kids and Easter egg hunts. So we were
naturally expectant. We knew it was a
special day, a time that had a meaning.
that deserved reverence and meditation.
But what to do? How does one wring
meaning out of an 8:30 sleepy Warehouse
on a chilly, drizzly morning as the choir
heads back to bed or is already there.
We were certain that we knew we had
to try. We had to do something. Won-
dering though we were, we knew we
would never step foot in a church build-
ing that day. That was the one thing we
would not do. For it was a special day
and we sought to transcend the ordinary,
to commune with the spirit deep within
us and all around us. We remembered
past Easters with people making them-
selves look elegant and pretty, then strut-
ting iff to worship themselves, and we
headed for the woods and the amphi-
theatre. The Thirty-Third Annual Easter
Sunrise Service at the Maryville College
Amphitheatre had been and gone, but we
cared little for we had come to worship.
We were momentarily stunned in out
tracks, however, as the earlier Christians
had left their impression in their attempt
to make their worship more impressive.
Yep, there it was as we looked down into
the valley, a big white cross. Tall, state-
ly, pure, rich, clean white. We were
impressed. Couldn't help but react. Just
the thing we had tried to get away from.
And it wasn't only sterile white, it was
plastic white. Couldn:t help but think of
all the plastic white people we had seen
on previous Easters who put up and wor-
shipped such crosses. It looked like the
blow-up of something your mother might
use for a centerpiece or a wealthy church
might use for a back drop as it stood
there with nicely cut pine branches piled
neatly at its base. As bright as the cross
was, though, and hard as it tried, it could
not hoki our attention, for we felt even
before we touched it how hollow it was.
Our eyes would not remain on it but
Mevi eonVJ.
searched all around for things that were
real; the grass, the squirrels, the bridge.
It was out of place, unnatural, a sadden
ing sight. We paused only for a monnent
thinking Mr. Mattel might come flying in
and retrieve his game but no such luck.
Even as we started down the hill our
minds united as we thought of what
should be and I said, "You could talk,
me into it.!' But we didn't talk about it
then. No, we had come to worship and
we knew what we had to do. We colored
the cross. Yep, we colored it b *'own. A
symbolic gesture. Could have used grsBn,
you know Spring, grass, and new life.
But brown was available so we coated as
far as we could reach (which was over half
way up) and then threw on the rest.
Now please don't think that by throwing
mud on the cross we meant to desecrate
it. Just the opposite. We sought to pro-
vide it with new meaning. We were de-
voutly intent throughout the entire pro-
cess (though I must admit it was quite an
emotional experience). After scattering
the branches around, more natural like
and resting one on top. we stepped back,
and we knew. We climbed back up the
hill and sat down to meditate on Easter
and God and Jesus, and Love, and crosses,
and people, and authority, and violence,
and destruction, and truth, and what we
had done. For we had come to worship.
The cross seemed much more alive now.
Somehow your eyes would remain on it
and you could think of things that were
real. The brown cross inspired images
and thoughts that related the cross of Je-
sus to various aspects of the world. It
was not a cross to be taken lightly but one
that would grab your attention. Our
thoughts on this matter were confirmed
emphatically as Mac the cop came up
from behind and, like the true profes-
sional that he is, asked us if we had seen
"who did that?" We assured him that
we had and that we would wash it off
but that we felt the cross should be
brown. Well, Mac seemed to have found
the culprit and set things straight, as us-
ual, but nonetheless he walked away
with an air of uncertainty. We wanted
to tell him why we had done it and to
ask him what he thought of it but being
unsure of his relgious affiliation we didnt
want to ask any touchy questions.
Well, the cross is white again. We
thought of leaving it brown but since
some people would never stand for mud
on their cross we didn't want to make
more work for the maintenance crew.
But next year, and next time, when
someone raises a white cross before you,
remember the brown cross. The cross
that stands as a symbol of man's need
for God. It reminds man how far he is
from God. Man can never make that
cross white. Love, Bob.
CONFESSIONS OF A SURPRISED BIGOT Robert Trent
When, sometime in October.. I puilrd
my brain out of the delusion of dn egal-
itarian community of learners, I found
myself blessed with the rare gift of living
with the good people the inhabitants of
the fourth floor of dorm III, noted cam-
puswide for their good taste, refinement
and superior intelligence. My quadmates
and I often made complacent little re-
marks about how wonderful and coinci
dental it was tn be grouped with such
fine students, so conveniently isolated
from the raving madness of the illiterate
jocks downstairs. Of course we thougfit
ourselves the only quad "intellectual"
enough to have a worthwhile meaning-
ful, or truly haf)py existenf:e. Our self
righteous apathy kept us from any inter
action with our supposed inferiors, and
"they" understandably .^rted fiostilely in
turning us off and • ^liy labelling
us.
This unfortunate sti.itifiration is, oh
viously, a result of a lack ';)f rouimunica-
tion, but it has deeper roots. A|i of us
have classified, to a degree, tfie i;r :; ir
pass u'; everyday. Certain v^'Oi^u- we
never speak to after having nmh- first
impressions in September. Others, wfiom
we consider closer to "our kind nt peo
pie," we alkjw '*wi phac-.p , "invfMsaiion
I. "Hi", 2 "How ya' doin'?" and seldom
even think of getting an answer. Then
there are those within our layer, our
secluded nest. To these personalities we
extend our friendship and respect, shar-
ing our thoughts and experiences.
It is comfortable and happy to inter-
relate in this pattern. But at the same
time it is a serious limitation. It makes
us one-half or one-quarter of a person
when we wall ourselves off, traipsing
through a maze of characters and world-
views compatible with our own. No mat-
tar the number of friends or the extent
of experience in years or miles, to hide
in a glass bubble all one's life may have
an educational effect similar to that
brought on by permanent residence in
Antartica.
The example of the athlete/intellec-
tual rift is serious, but is only one of the
many layers of insulation limiting the
warmth of this community. Much of it,
however, has resulted from unconscious
individual prejudgements, and hopefully
can be remedied by a simple awareness
of the nature of our self-imposed social
lines of defense.
Reach out to someone-"to communi-
cate is the beginning of understanding."

SPORTS AND SWORTS DEPT:
TENNIS
r
Two of Maryville College's three spring
sports, tennis and baseball, have begun
while the third, track, starts its season
Saturday.
Coach Boydson Baird's baseballers be-
gan their season this past weekend of
March 27th and 28th with a split with
Mount Union College of Alliance, Ohio.
They won the first in a slugfest 13-8 and
lost a squeaker in the second 8-7.
In Friday's game senior Lee Faulkner
pitched all nine innings as the Scot bat-
ters showed plenty of punch. Sophomore
Joe Kozel of Uniondale, N.Y., blasted
a homerun and a single and contributed
three RBI's and was helped by Senior
Bob Mays who blasted a triple and had
two RBI's. In all the Scots combined for
13 runs on none hits £is Faulkner held
Mount Union to 8 runs on 8 hits.
Saturday's game was even more pro-
ductive for the Scot batters, unfortunate-
ly their ten hits were only able to garner
seven runs this time as they lost by a
single run 8-7. All-American candidate
Lynn Dildine got his first hit of the
season, a home run, and Bob Mays again
showed ability to hit the long ball as he
blasted a two-run homer. Mary vi lie's most
productive hitter, however, was second
baseman Joe White, who had two RBI's
on 3 singles. Freshman pitcher Bob Ran-
dall came on for Maryville in the 3rd
inning and allowed only one run while
striking out ten.
TRACK
Macyville College's track season will be-
gin Saturday on the road as they travel to
Atlanta to face Berry College in a duel
meet Top returner is distance runner
Dave Wiiey. Dave should be shooting for
College Division records on state and
regional levels, and possibly nationally.
At the longer distances, John Powell
should be effective, while Bob Cooper,
who ran right behind Wiley all last year,
should help in the 880 yard run. Don
Hickman is a seasoned sprinter and par-
ticipant in the triple and broad jumps.
Hampered by injuries last year this should
be a good year for Don, a senior. Chip
Pusey, is another returner who figures :o
be prominant in the scoring column for
Maryville College in the hurdles events.
John Leibrock, a junior who has an out-
standing record, John has won the Ten-
nessee College Division high jump in both
his freshman and sophomore years. With
these returning lettermen as a nucleus
and several other promising prospects
Coach Denny McGowan should field an
exciting track team.
Ron Tedford is a newcomer in the
hurdles, Doug Davis in the pole vault and
javelin.
W. N. Osborne returns in the shot put
ahd should receive plenty of help from
Dave Koopman.
In a recent Knoxville Track Club Road
Race, Dave Wiley placed second and John
Powell placed third.
BASEBALL
The baseball team opened the sea-
son by splitting a two game series with
Mount Union College. The Scots won
Friday 13-8 with Lee Faulkner doing
the piiching. Joe Kozel hit a home run
and Bob Macy a triple to spark the win.
Saturday, the Scots fought back from a
7-2 deficit and tied it before losing 8-7.

prove very able in providing the leader-
ship we need so badly at this particular
time. He is one of the most dedicated
men v*/*^;'vt hrid in our football piogram
in the last several seasons. He is an able
student and currently is on a Leadership

A Crisis In Education
Dr. Esther Swenson
Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion
In a recent article concerning young adults written by
Paul Goodman, the observation was made that students do
not believe in the future. Faced with political and social
crisis and with a jarring psychological reorientation fostered
through technology, there is wide-spread and deep despair
over the existence of time. One student expressed it: "The
only thing to do is to turn yourself off in as many ways as
possible, and then you can be oblivious." Or, as the TV
program "From Here to the Seventies" closed: "We do not
know how much time we have."
A DENIAL OF THE CHRISTIAN MAN
I am certain that there have been other apocalyptic
times in man's history and that an understanding of them
would help to focus the issues of our own. But let me begin
an attempt at understanding by asking what elements we
find in our own time, leaving to the historian the job of
checking atyd rechecking the similarities with other times.
First, I believe that the denial of a future is a denial of the
Biblical and Christian man. The man who stands before the
God of the Old and New Testaments is a man who is
squarely placed in time and toward a future. The God of
Genesis is a God who promises fruitfulness, a new land,
blessing. The God of Jesus Christ is one who enters time,
confirming and affirming that living in time and toward
the future is good, and providing the reality of the future
in the presence of the resurrection. No matter how much
students may verbalize belief through Christian statements,
a disbelief in the future is a denial of the Biblical and
Christian God, The crisis concerning the future is then a
crisis in Christianity.
A DENIAL OF THE RATIONAL MAN
Secondly, I believe that the denial of the future is a
denial of the rational man. There are at least two predomi-
nant senses in which this is so. Reason may be understood
with Plato as dialectical, the processes of generalization and
division in constant undogmatic movement. By engaging
in such a temporal movement man is made available to a
vision of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, the One,
which, to be sure, is not itself temporal, But the ascent to
the vision is temporal, and the one who sees then faces
the obligation of descent, of engaging in dialectic with
others for the sake of their own visions. In this manner
rational man lays claim to a future as Just and Good.
Rational man can also be pragmatic problem-solving
man, his rationality being a tool by which he manipulates
reality. In this way situations of confusion and disorder
are resolved into ones of clarity and order. Thus, rationality
is the means by which man lays claim to and ensures the
future. It is this rational man who relies on city-planning,
who makes budgets, who engages in long-range planning,
and who insists upon population control. (It is a truism in
sociological literature that poor people who believe their
lives are ruled by "fate" or "destiny" rather than rationality,
reject or misuse population control procedures).
In either sense of "rational," therefore, a denial of the
future is a denial of rationality.
AN ALTERNATIVE BEING CHOSEN: NEW MYTHICAL MAN
If what I have said contains even a kernel of truth, one
cannot help but ask, "What alternative way of being man
is available to one who denies the future and thus Christian
and/or rational man?" If one takes seriously the works of
phenomenologists of religion, mythical man was a man who
did not take time seriously. Undoubtedly his life was as
precarious as ours even though in a different sense. What
mythical man was concerned with was this particular mo-
ment which balanced treacherously on the edge of non-
being. To ensure this present moment in its reality and
meaningfulness, man entered into rituals, including myth-
telling, which realized the present by equating it to eternity.
Such rituals contain profound sensuous elements involving
bodily movements, rhythmic sounds and muscular feelings,
and repetition; all of which provoke immediate emotional
involvement.
It is not too difficult to recognize such elements in many
of the attitudes and activities of students: in their efforts
to form community or fellowship through the celebration of
sound and taste and sight and touch, through their involve-
ment in the drug scene, through their refusal to analyze and
their opting for feeling. Involvement through ritual in a
community of the present, of the moment, without regard
for the past or the future is in many ways the creation of
a new mythical man.
QUESTIONS FOR THE EDUCATIONAL SCENE
If we face the possibility of the development of a man
relying on mythical elements as the form of his life, we face
serious problems with traditional education. One need only
point toward a basic value of traditional education: truth.
This has always involved the use of processes of reason.
But truth to a mythical man is ritualistic in character, not
logical or rational. How does education proceed in that
circumstance? Again, a curriculum based on reading and
writing, that is, logical and rational processes, becomes
psychologically questionable to a mythical man of emotional
and sensual involvement. Or again, is not the whole notion
of courses, credit, and departments based on a notion of a
rationality capable of making clear-cut divisions and dis-
tinctions'^ Are not these too psychologically irrelevant to a
mythically formed man? And certainly classroom procedures
oriented toward analytical, abstract, rational forms of dis-
course would also be irrelevant and meaningless to such a
man.
I do not claim that this is the only crisis or even THE
crisis which education faces. But if we confront all the
others and do not face this one also, becoming creative in
the context of it, we v/ill have failed not only our students
and ourselves but also the future which we as Christians
seek to affirm and confirm in our being.
FOLK SINGER JOHN JACOB NILES PERFORMS AT CIV
Folk singer and composer John Jacob
Niles was Maryville College's guest per-
former at the Community Issues and
Values program, today, at 9': 20 a.m. in
the chapel, A native of the Kentucky
bluegrass country, the 77-year old ball-
adeer sang several tunes he had written
himself in his sixty-year career which
have contributed to America's folk history,
including "Black is the Color of My True
Love's Hair," "I Wonder as I Wander," and
"Go 'Way From My Window." Mr. Niles
accompanied himself on handmade dul-
cimers, and described his voice as a male
also with lapses into a clear high falsetto.
Music has been his life-long involve-
rr^nt, according to Mr. Niles. His fther
was a singer and square dance -:aller in
Kentucky. Niles began collecting folk
songs in 1910 in the hills of Appaiachia,
and has published several books, col lee
tions of folk songs, and sonnets in his
lifetime. He studied at the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music and later received
an honorary degree of doctor of music
from that institution.
COPELAND ELECTED PRESIDENT
Dr. Joseph J. Copeland, president of
Maryville College, began a one year term
as president of the Tennessee College As-
sociation at its annual meeting in Memphis
last week. The 51 member organization is
committed to the advancement of the
cause of higher education by promoting
interests common to the colleges of Ten-
nessee.
Dr. Copeland who has been president
of Maryville College since 1961 has served
as president-elect of the Tennessee College
Association this §ast year. Retiring pres-
ident is Dr. Archie Dykes, chancellor of
the University of Tennessee, Martin and
past-president is Dr. Joe Morgan, president
of Austin Peay State College. rV. Herbert
G. Gabhart, president of Belmont College,
Nashville, will serve as president-elect
for the coming year.
Maryville College was a charter mem-
ber o1 the Tennessee College Association
when it was organized in 1919.
WILLEY TALKS NOBODY WALKS
Speaking at the March 31st luncheon
meeting of the Maryville-Alcoa Civitan
Club, Dr. Malcolm M. Willey, head of the
sociology department of Maryville Col-
lege, predicted that the major internal
problems faced by the United States to-
day are likely to become even more
severe in the years immediately ahead.
This, said Dr. Willey, is because they are
all basically related to the striking in-
crease in population, and there is no
indication that population will stabilize
in the forcjseeable future.
"This very day census takers are be-
ginning to count heads throughout the
United States for the 1970 decennial
census. The population of this country is
now just over 200 million," Dr. Willey
stated, "but by the year 2000, which is
only tnirty years away, this nation will
number more than 300 million."
Dr. Willey mentioned the problems
that are causing the greatest concern in
the United States today, including pollu-
tion of air and water resources, providing
adequate education especially at the pri-
mary and secondary school levels, trans-
portation involving the use of the auto-
mobile, and urban deterioration with
accompanying increases in crime and
other forms of deviant behavior. "If you
think these are crucial problems today,
what do you think the situation will be
when our population has added another
hundred million?" Dr. Willey asked. This
country, he said, faces no difficulties in
feeding the people, but in these other
areas grave difficulties will continue to
U.T. GOES WILD
The recent student protest of January
15 at UT campus was a surprise to any-
one who had regarded that university
as a "fraternity" or "football" school.
The results of the 1500 students gather-
ing in front of the Administration Build-
ing are even more alarming; except for
minor scuffling when the police arrived,
the "mob" (Weaver, UT chancellor) was
orderly and had been organized and
conducted under emphasized non-violence
tactics; city policemen, called in when the
crowd refused to disperse, came "in full
riot gear— helmets, sticks, gas masks and
riot guns" (News-Sentinel); no damage
was reported, some students threw snow-
balls, four police and one co-ed had
minor injuries; twenty-two persons were
arrested with the aid of plainclothesmen
and YAF members; most of these face
charges of "assembling on the property
of a state university for the purpose of
creating a disturbance or inciting acts of
violence" (News-Sentinel); these "mili-
tants" face penalty of one to ten years
imprisonment under the law.
Gus Hadorn who is one of the "Knox-
ville 22," spoke at a UCM meeting last
Sunday. He emphasized the facts that
though several non-students were in-
volved, the protest was not instigated by
outsiders; that the severe penalty for
assembling, an American right, is unjust;
and that the action planned was not a
take-over or student strike, but merely
a "mill-in." Hadorn mentioned that in a
true riot, which ensued the UT football
championship two years ago, a mob of
students incurred thousands of dollars
damage on the campus but no arrests
were made. A grad student who had
planned his career in teaching, Hadorn
appeared no "angry young revolutionary"
and impressed Maryville students with
his rational and qualified insights, giving
both sides.
The protest opposed the appointment
of a new president, Dr. Ed Boling, who
was appointed without any attempt to
ascertain student support. The remainder
is from the News-Sentinel;
"My God, this can't be happening," a
girl said. "What are they doing? It is
unreal." The officers entered the crowd,
swinging their clubs. . . The battle ended
quickly. The students went only a short
distance, then turned to jeer. . . (Weaver,
chancellor, objected to the crowd and
ordered the riot squad in because;) "Peo-
ple need to get in and out of the build-
ing." Weaver said, "We're not going to be
hasty but this mob is going to be cleared
from this area." . . . "Hell no, we won't
go," the crowd chanted. . . (The arrested
students issued the following statement;)
"Despite our arrests we continue to be-
lieve in nonviolence. The moral witness
of nonviolence is stronger than infinite
numbers of guns and clubs. We urge our
fellow students to join our peaceful re-
sistance."
The Knoxville Legal Defense, sup-
ported by those defending the Knox-
ville 22, is planning a rally in Nashville
for all Tennessee students this Sunday,
April 12. Gus Hadorn, member, says
the purpose is to "rejuvenate the Con-
stitution and Bill of Rights and make
people aware of the repression occurring
throughout- the state and to make at-
tempts to stop it. The rally will be
statewide and will include state and
private campuses." The organizers are
seeking to politically unify students from
all parts of Tennessee.
Besides informal teach-ins and dis-
cussion groups, the Knoxville Legal De-
fense has engaged Jerry Reuben to speak

Everyone gripes about the Independ-
ent Studies program here at M.C. Ac-
tually. I have found it to be one of the
College's best assets. Here is a chance for
the student to explore in some depth an
area in which he is interested. The whole
experiment quickly turns sour, however,
when it turns into a dependent study re-
volving around the adviser. Advisers be-
come so preoccupied with changing the
student's writing style that they begin
to lose the essence of the study. At this
crucial point, the student usually dis-
covers another problem: that his writer's
Bible, Turabian, never gives definite foot-
note examples for his one of a kind foot-
notes. Perhaps our Independent Studies
Department should construct its own
manual for writing research papers. These
guidelines should then be applied to all
levels of research, from Freshman interim
papers to Senior Independent Studies.
This would eliminate the confusion of
learning the Harbrace way, then the
Turabian way. Presently, M.C.'s Inde-
pendent Studies program seems to be
more closely concerned with whether
the paper is technically perfect than
if the student has achieved an aware-
ness of his topic.

LETTERS
Dear Fang,
This is not a letter of naive enthusiasm
describing the ecstatic mysteries of ivy-
covered castles or European drug-pushing
students. I'm writing about Maryville-my
friends there and their vital concerns. If
you could imagine the strange feeling of
my position— I felt such an active role in
the MC circle— then I stepped out for a
year and now I'm a mere onlooker. The
letters I wrote and sent to you seem so
distant and out of place, and each letter
I receive from MC brings a sort of culture
shock. Each letter begins the same:
"There's not much going on, same old
drag here." Then the following sentences
nonchalantly plant the hurt-"so and so
quit school— she was a senior too," "half
of our class didn't return," "New visita-
tion but the freshmen don't respect it,"
"Dr. Young is leaving," "The freshmen
are dropping out like flies," and finally,
"One of your friends committed suicide."
There are always the unfortunate reports
of hospitalization and physical accidents
but I never realized how badly Maryville
is suffering mentally. It is upsetting and
I want so badly to reach out and com-
fort, but even my own efforts on campus
of counteraction are only a painkiller to
soothe the world. Why are we so messed
up? How can we have so much and yet
have nothing? How can we live so closely
and yet so far apart?
I won der if it is because we are not
searching for enough outside of our-
selves? (I am most depressed when I
dwell on my own problems.) This out-
side searching is going to have to go
farther than candel holding. I know MC
can become stale in regards to fresh
ideas for thought stimulation-why not
search to the wealth drawn and hidden
at UT? It can be antagonizing not to
date -'dorm rotters' we used to call our-
selves. But a little searching into the
Maryville Community reveals hundreds
of children who, being victims of poverty
and parental neglect, can readily respond
to the guidance of college scout leaders
or Boys Club workers. Our administration
too, by opening our closed environment,
can help us search in a more relevant
world. (This has been a personal discov-
ery this year.) I admire the conscientious
objectors who do not believe in the Viet-
nam War or in fighting itit I am sickened
by the guys who purposely hurt them-
selves or abandon their citizenship. A
much more positive peace program is to
volunteer 2 years of service to the educa-
tion-starved Congo, a country with am-
bition but helplessly exploited. I suppose
I am branded right away as an ideal ist-
but I prefer the name "Christian."

Dear Editor,
Last Saturday, while quietly eating my
pork and dressing and in general enjoy-
ing my main meal of the day, I was ad-
vised to go to the Lantern the next night
to see some of the Knoxville Twenty-two
"for the side you don't get in the Knox-
ville Journal,' whatever that was supposed
to mean. Thus ended my quiet enjoy-
ment of Maryville College cuisine, with
most of my meal left on my plate. I am
so glad to see Christian love abounding
so freely on our campus.
The Knoxville Twenty-two came to
talk to UCM, which seems in itself rather
paradoxical. And yet, it really doesn't
bother me that the Knoxville group spoke
On our campus. But it does bother me
that the self-proclaimed and self-styled
student leadershifi of this campus sees fit
occasionally to make off-the-cuff, irrespon-
sible remarks which are meant as attacks
upon the press and upon figures and insti-
tutions of authority iti the United States.
It bothers me when the main campus act-
ivist organization which is misnamed Uni-
versity Christian Movement thinks it can
foster brotherhood, love and Christian fel-
lowship be attacking those with whom it
disagrees with bitterness and rancor and
when it attempts to disrupt the educa-
tional facilities of the college with anti-war
activities and other functions which it
adopts either directly or indirectly. It
bothers me when those who have been
given responsibility fail to make every
effori that both sides of an issue be heard
with no partiality or malice.
I will say here that those students and
faculty members of this campus who share
my views--and I include myself in this-
are not totally free of blame. We have
been lazy and cowardly, or, worse yet,
blatant and occasionally irresponsible in
our attempts to defned our principles.
But those in control outnumber us, and
they also must be obligated to open this
campus to free dialogue and total ex-
change of ideas. And the members of this
college community must try to clear their
minds, at least to the extent that they
search for truth.
It never ceases to amaze me that stu-
dents and teachers from states far re-
moved from Dixie feel so well-qualified
to attack the South immediately uprjn
innpact. Yes, l,m sure that this is Christian
. openness. And not only do they attack
the South, but they attack her public
figures, from George Wallace right on
down to community and civic personages.
But do they try to understand? And do
these people try to really understand
"Southern" views on misplaced ones from
the South as well-that perhaps racism
and segregation are not synonymous, that
black hatred for the white manis just as
prejudiced as white hatred of the black?
Let there be no prejudice and no bit-
terness in anyone's heart! Let there be
understanding and true Christian love.
Let there be total exchange of ideas
among all sincere people on our campus.
For only through tot! love and re-
spect can we find the way to the unity
and peace we all claim to desire.

MARYVILLE COEDS PROVE THEIR BEAUTY
3
Lynn Gillespie, junior from Kearny,
Now Jersey, is the new Miss Blount
County. She is the second M.C. student
to be chosen for this honor. Last year
the post was held by Barb Grinstead.
The Miss Blount County pageant is a
preliminary contest for the Miss America
pageant held in Atlantic City every year.
The contestants are judged on talent,
poise and beauty in evening gown and
swimsuit competition.
Lynn, in the talent competition, sang
a religious-type folk song. "Hymn," while
accompanying herself on the guitar. Her
question-thc judges always ask the 5
finalists a question-concerned the con-
tem()orary problem of the generation
gap.
Lynn received a $200 scholarship from
Bill Love's Kentucky Fried Chicken,
$300 tuition grant from M.C, and $100
savings bond from the Blount National
Bank, Also included were several gift
certificates to other area stores, a trophy.
and the trip to Jackson, Tennessee, in
July to compete for the Miss Tennessee
title.
First runner up was Dana Rule, a
freshman from Knoxville. She sang Al Di
La very well. As first runner uf) she
would take Lynn's place if Lynn were
unable to fulfill her duties as Miss Blount
County.
Each year on the night of the dress
rehearsal, all the contestants vote for one
girl who they think is the most congenial.
Claudia Gradwell, junior from Ramsey,
New Jersey, won this award.
The pageant was highlighted by a
guest vocalist who knocked a stool over
into the orchestra pit, almost hitting the
organist. Also, the Emcee, Sir Bernard
Quayle, from WNOX, who otherwise did
a fine job, at one point became so en-
tangled in the microphone wires that he
practically fell on the floor. The contest
did have its humorous moments, and was
an interestingly entertaining evening.

SCIENTIFIC REPORT OR "CANNON'S" COMET
Comets are one of the most interest-
ing astronomical phenomena that occur.
For hundreds of years the sighting of a
comet has awed man, because of their
unusual brightness and long glowing tail.
Although most comets are not real bright,
and some so famt that only by use of a
telescope can one see them, there are ex-
ceptions, such as Bennett's comet which is
easily visible in the early morning sky
about 4:00 - 5:00 a.m. Another excep-
tion is Hatloy's Comet which will un-
doubtedly light up the day time sky al-
thougli it will not be visible until 1986.
A cornet is made up of a nucleus,
coma, and a long tail. The nucleus is
usually a few kilometers wide with the
outer coma being about a hundred thou
sand kilometers wide. Tails have been I
measured from several million kilometers
long up to 100 million miles, which is a
distance greater than from the earth to
the sun.
It is believed that comets are made up
of frozen material and small solid par-
ticles. When a comet approacfies the sun
these particles reflect light. Gases are also
formed and reflect more light. Some
comets have orbits inside the solar sys-
tem and periodically return while others
have parabolic or hyperbolic orbits and
never return.
The comet pictures is very brilliant
when viewed through a larger telescope '
or even binoculars, and I believe it would
be worth anyone's while if they have
never seen a comet to get up early some
morning soon and see this spectacular
sight, It is located in the northeastern
sky, al:jut:20" off the horizon.

tighter as freshman Bob Randall turned

Dr. Willey pointed out that the answer
lies in conscious control of population

on the part of American people generally
that only as the size of the average
American family is reduced will these
